It just doesn't get old!

[dreamweaver13]

You have an itch to watch macross, but you don't have the time to do a marathon. so what are the episodes that you tend to go back to? What are the macross moments/episodes that you can watch over and over again. In other words, what are your favorite macross episodes/moments?

Here's my list:

SDFM

Ep. 5 - Transformation - first time that the SDF transformed. wow. just... wow.

Ep. 6 - Daedelus Attack - the birth of the most famous attack in macross history!

Ep. 11 - First Contact - the interaction between hikaru and misa (and kakizaki) gets me every time.

Ep. 21 - Microcosmos - sudden change in the dynamic of the love triangle caught me by surprise.. and still affects me every time i watch it.

Ep. 24 - Goodbye Girl - another classic hikaru-misa moment

Ep. 26 - Messenger - the calm before the storm... and what a deliriously enticing calm it was.

Ep. 27 - Love Drifts Away - need i say more?

Ep. 35 - Romanesque - the end is coming for the love triangle, and i could feel it.

Ep 36 - Farewell to Tenderness - the end of a series that i will love forever.

Flashback 2012 - a fond farewell to my fictional friends from the macross universe.

Macross Plus OAV/Movie

Ep. 4 (in movie, the last parts) - the dogfight between Isamu and Guld. another between Guld and the Ghost. what's not to love??

Macross 0

Ep. 1 – First transformation of the VF0!!! Jaw-droppingly full of win!

Macross Frontier

Ep. 1 - Close Encounter - The first episode of a series i've been waiting for all my life (and i didn't even know i was waiting for it)

Ep. 5 - Star Date - Aaaannnd.... the love triangle is officially born.

Ep. 7 - First Attack - no explanation needed on this one, i warrant.

Ep. 12 - Fastest Delivery - old-school zentraedi... check. DYRL lookalikes... check check. Love triangle on overdrive... check check check. Music saves the day.... check check check check! and as if that wasn't enough... WTF-1!!!!!

Ep. 15 - Lost Peace - best recap episode ever.

Ep. 17 - Goodbye, Sister - best trolling episode ever.

Ep. 22 - Northern Cross - wonderful alto/sheryl moments, and a brilliant sheryl concert at the end

Ep. 23 - True Begin - more alto/sheryl moments, and an underlying darkness that makes you afraid of how the series is gonna end.

Ep. 25 - Your Sound - Spectacular mecha action! fantastic song medley! superlatives upon superlatives describing a wonderful end to the series.... with or without the triangler resolution. hehe.

Macross DYRL:

Umm..... ALL of it?

Macross 7:

Lest I be accused of being a M7 hate-monger, I can honestly say that episodes with Sivil (except those where she's just asleep in her energy bubble) are episodes that i wouldn't mind seeing again.

Hmmm...I wish I say certain scenes, but I've never been one for picking and choosing. If I sit down to watch a movie or series, I watch ALL of it, no skipping or fast-forwarding (which is the main reason I never watch porn).

But I love the final episode of every Macross series. Yes, even Zero.

I completely agree, Im one that likes to sit down and watch all of it.

of course i have favorite episodes tho,I always just come back and watch from the start to finish,final eps are always full of win.

one part i do really like tho in macross frontier,is when the battle-galaxy launches ghosts and that one ghost pauses infront of some randoms valk before opening up on it.

[dreamweaver13]

As much as i would love to watch all of it in one go, sometimes i just don't have enough time, sadly. So i end up just picking an episode, and of course it has to be one kick-ass episode. hey, it's one episode or nothing (i end up just watching random TV to fill in that 30 minute leisure time on my schedule).

[505thAirborne]

Just way to many good scenes to mention!! Macross is just one of those series you can watch over & over again, No matter which series it is!!

Definitely all of DYRL!! In the series, Episode 1 when Hikaru shows off in his Fan Racer and out does the Valkyrie pilots, Roy gets pissed, Love that scene!! Max & Miria's Dog Fight scene!! Love Drifts away, best Episode ever!!

Again, to much good stuff!!! Macross 4 Life!!!

[Vepariga]

yeah there just is too much good stuff, If i am short on time and need a fix lol,i usually watch the final eps of frontier or 'Friendly fire' because i reckon that ep is awesome, and from the SDF tv i usually watch 'love drifts away' ,some good Misa eps or some eps with my fav zentradi kamjin Kravshera.

the movies tho,i have to watch from start to finish,i cant watch bits.

I guess my taste is the same as Gubbaba - I can't watch random episodes from a series that are "my favorite" because the dramatic impact of particular scenes always exists because of what came before and what might follow.

This kind of question is kind of like "what do you prefer - tits, ass, legs, a nice face?"

Generally - I prefer (in order of preference):

1. Face

2. Ass

3. Tits

4. Legs

But on the whole - I like a woman who has all of these elements, not just some of them, going for her.

And if the question is: "You don't have time to enjoy the whole woman - so what part would you sleep with?"

The answer is:

HUH?

Same with Macross series and just about any other anime series. You can't enjoy just a part of it fully on its' own. Best to watch through the whole series.

If you don't have time for a marathon - don't do one. Just watch one episode per day.

Hmm, I prefer watching the movie like:

1. DYRL

2. Macross Plus the Movie

3. Macross II the movie (yes, I like it cuz of Wendy Ryder lol)

For TV series, I prefer MF episode 7 and 25.

[Sketch]

But my all time favorites;

-Bye Bye Mars

-Love Drifts Away

"It just doesn't get old!, Macross Moments"

the astonishing disbelief way my jaw drops when Zero ends and 1st episode of M7

[Beltane70]

I won't go into episodes of the various TV shows, but there are quite a few scenes in the various movies/OVAs.

Scenes that I watch quite often are, and in no special order:

DYRL

Opening battle

Hikaru/Minmay/Misa/Kaifun/Roy's capture

Milia's attack on Vrithwai's ship

Max and Milia battle

End battle

Plus

Isamu/Guld fight during their test

Zero

Attack on Asuka II/Mayan Island

Shin and Nora's fight in the last episode

Zero

Attack on Asuka II/Mayan Island

Ok, now i remember why i don't watch the last episode of macross0 that often... the copy i saved on dvd is corrupted and skips like crazy.

Me too. I love the final episode. The dogfighting and most of all Shin and Sara's final moments together. And when Shin drops into the ocean and comes out and folds.

So that's what happened Dag...

Him and Sarah went to the Protoculture then?

I assume to a Protoculture Shangri-La, where you can drink all the Yoshinol you want, and your neighbors are Misa, Hikaru and Minmay, along with the rest of the populance from SDF-2 Megaroad.Roy is alive still, drinking still, flying while intoxicated still. Alto is with both Sheryl and Ranka and Micheal is still alive and healthy with Klan. Isamu is there with Myung and Guld raceing dino-bird gliders. Basara is still rocking with the rest of Fire Bomber and there is no such thing as "English Fire" nor "Robotech" ....

...Wait that might be my Shangri-La.
