Macross F 22
Not even gonna lie, guys, this episode was actually pretty legit. Macross leads, as you may or may not know, are all categorical douchelords. With the exceptions of Movie Hikaru and Nekki Basara. Basara is fucking insane and Movie Hikaru is actually a great protagonist. Anyway, Alto isn't much of an exception, with his constant inability to realize, let alone choose, that the two girls in the show are in love with him. This has lead pretty much to half the problems in the series, and boy does this episode really throw it back in his face. I mean, Ranka's ran off with White Haired Pretty Boy Lynn Kaifun Junior, and his whole crew has abandoned him to become Space Pirates.
I mean when aren't Space Pirates awesome? The scene where the captain declares that this is what they are to become is straight up badass enough, but President Dictator immediately dispatches Alto and his friends to go kill their former comrades while using Sheryl's concert to pacify the masses.
Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that Alto is now Shinn Asuka, working for the Chairman, who is manipulating Lacus to his whims. And while that isn't awesome, Alto attempts to spit a Tominoism in Ozma's face: "IS THIS HOW ADULTS ARE!?" he shrieks, long, girly hair billowing in the space winds.
"I wouldn't know," Ozma quips. "I'm not an adult. I'm a man!" Shut up you in the back, it was cool, and his subsequent trash talk while beating the everliving shit out of Alto was, too.
Sadly no delicious drama this time, but space piracy makes up for it.
