I enjoyed this episode, I wonder if Yuuya managed to survive those 8 minutes of death

The concept of the first 8 minutes works only for the first battle, and this is already his third battle.

Anyway, fantastic episode! Yui being so cute and Yuuya being badass, damn, that's why I love this show.

Seeing Yui embarrassed is nice she is a very shy person when it comes to it.
Yuuya certainly got into a lot of trouble there hope for him he can get out of there since it wont be a pleasant death getting eaten by those monsters.
Seeing Yui all emotional again was refreshing she is always so strict normally.

Seems not only the Soviets but also the Beta where after the cannon and it's core.
Tho the Soviets where after it's technology but the Beta wanted to destroy it.
It also seems like the Zhar Battalion will have a hard time up ahead since the Soviets want to destroy everything there.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode was interesting on 2 facets. First one being Yui’s past and the second being the present and its rather worrying end yet hopeful in a miracle. That being said onto the thoughts concerning this episode.

About the beginning, the start in the spoiler
was rather strong with missiles and a Apocalypse setting where all is Hell and fire. One of the strong points to remark is Yui in the spoiler
along with her GORE attacks on the BETA. Yui being younger, her facials sure show out the eagerness of her aggressive posture towards her fight.

As the fight progresses it was quite a blessing to see BETAs in the spoiler
being slaughtered much more wildly and better than in previous episodes IMO. This is good as we are shown directly what is going on in Yui’s past that p[perhaps was not shown at all.

SHIT HITS BAD in the spoiler
as such a nice girl as Kyoko with the blue hair gets SPLAT with the Fort Class tail. A rather sad grim dead with only a terrified face and pissing in one’s pants would be appropriate before the final death of such a hit. Essentially Fort Class has a similar tail attack as a Scorpion except instead of a stinging it slashes or crushes. Thus marks the sad end of Yui’s past for now and we still do not know some other details on average. So it was very interesting and yes Japan got AMBUSHED! I knew that but it was not exactly told how it was. The details were nice that a multi front and re-landing occurred of the BETAs.

About the present, back at the base it certainly came out pretty nice of Bridges saving Yui nicely. However the best of that came in the following,

Along with the spoiler
Yui’s package of blushing and MOE along with some Tsundere came through and it was the best to date TBH.

Despite that it concerns me of the spoiler
that the BETAs got the core in their hands. OK here is low down of what I think. First let’s get to the Aliens of this series:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/3572/Macross_Frontier
They are called Vajras and they learn by being blasted all the time with the weapon and eventually they have armour that your weapons cannot destroy hence anti-weapon of what you used on them. So if those BETAs are like that then GAME OVER! They will learn all from the Core Module and may be able to stop that cannon from working on them or who knows. Knowing Vajras and these doing the same kind of learning can only mean doom for this new weapon now that the Core is with them. That’s really worrisome and Yui in the spoiler
SHIT G-FORCE! Well not only in this case impact but G-Force is possible due to the sudden moves along with vibration problems that the suit most likely stops as impact itself.

About Fort Class, now the fight was going superb in the spoiler
splatter them BETAs! Till the following,

SHIT! That’s to add that it was a heavy Tail Swipe from the looks of the spoiler
It looks like Fort Class is more insane than I though in terms of Tail Swipes. The thing is a killer. In one hit it disabled loads of stuff on the TSF of Bridges not to mention damaged further Yui with its shock.

However as I remark in the spoiler
Stella shot the thing with 6 Hole Shooting from 3 guns. Well thing is that Fort Class needs a shoulder area shot where it’s Purple and it’s dead along with some face shots. Still shocking it ends up like that so easy. Still need clear shots from far. That thing is a monster in close combat as one SPLATTED 2 girls from Yui’s past.

About the heavy bombers, BUSTED TO BAD MY ASS AND TIME! Damn! It took forever but I got it! Pretty sure the following spoiler
showing the heavy bombers can be attributed to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolkhovitinov_DB-A
Oh man that was a pain but upon closer inspection the model is the same minus some modern MODs done to it. I am damn glad I got to find out and use my brain on a series like this. I am sure the VN promises lots of thinking like that of Brain challenge. Yeah it’s that model people so like now you know.

About the fan service, just a mention to Stella in the spoiler
thanks for the show. Your breasts are great Stella. You need a family and male once this is over.

About thee end, 2 things really hit hard. First one being Yui in the spoiler
that crying. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! That hits harder than I though but it goes back that Yui cannot hold her emotions, broke her promise and in general it shows that Females are emotional to the point of not being to promise to withhold their feelings even based on a promise. Well that’s the view I get from this.

Bridges in the spoiler
OH ROYAL YES! Gore! BETA red soup and guts! YES! DUKE NUKEM STYLE! COME AND GET SOME! It was totally exciting. I had loads of fun seeing Bridges go wild like that. His facials were super berserk good. However less we get a miracle done or someone saves him, he is toast! Mecha is about to blow up and is unstable. Staying in it would be dead only! Bridges….YOU ARE CRAZY MAN! YOU ARE NUTS! That’s what kept going in my mind. I did not even think he could handle Melee so well. Instead of a Rambo knife it should have been a Katana that slices. A light-saber like Gundams have is the best but they are not there yet.

In conclusion let’s hope someone saves Bridges as a miracle maker cause him doing now would be damn too early IMO.

BTW seem in the spoiler
people are having fun with Yamamoto. I find it intriguing so I share it.

Finally Image Stitches of this series and Image Dump in the BLOG:
http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/09/image-stitches-and-image-dump-of-muv.html
Loads of Mecha stuff but it’s more finally some time to do one episode of this series since a while.

Some GIFs have been done too:

Well the creator does have rather strange views in the first place anyways. The end result is viewers that comprehend it like this even though there are other views of seeing it.

So far in the whole series multi views of mass racialism is in-stored and not surprising there might even be some against females itself. So far from I feel of this series a little.

Great episode, but damn that cliffhanger! I'm sure Yuuya will be using his newly acquired melee skills to get out of there though. Poor Yui is thinking she'll lose yet another person dear to her.

It's always painful to see a good character die in such a defenceless way Kyouko didn't even notice that Fort class was there until it was to late.
And she seemed like a capable pilot that should have been able to avoid that guy yet that thing came out of no where it was the same with Yuuya he didn't know it was there until it was to late.

It was surprising how easily Stella killed it just with a few bullets just by the size of that fort class and the name of it you would expect that it would have taken a bomb or a missile to take it out.
Yet it only took a few bullets which is almost anticlimactic to look at.
And that thing took out Yui friend and almost took out her and Yuuya with ease.
Speaking about bullets what kind would one of those TFS be using i guess there bigger then .50 bullets which you would find in anti material guns.

I don't want to disappoint you those but bombers are actually Tupolev Tu-95's they have been in service for a long time.
And thanks to those contra-rotating propellors it's not outdated despite being a turboprop while yet engines are the norm these days.

Yeah you need to have 120mm bullets of some type not the small caliper ones. I would assume a grenade launched from under the gun would do the job but personally I would love to see explosive bullets be used on it. It would blow up its insides. Maybe they found a weak point it has but IMO it might still be alive and have inside of it more BETAs. Still it's immobile due to the damage it took.

O_O I am shocked and can't believe. I got it totally wrong. I did not find out of this but you are right, it's that type. The other one looked like it too so I guess it was harder to ID it than I though.

Still though I was right all along.

Fort BETA actually is a kind of carrier BETA. He can pick many BETA inside it's body and launch them for "surprise!" moments.

But of course, it also has a deadly OHKO whip and legs. Well, yeah...They could be killed/disarmed with multiple 120mm bullets in joints, but it's a bit too easy when animated...Agreed.

Oh god, was that Berkut-chan? I can't wait for more.

Episode was pretty well done again, changing directors after ep10(or 11 was it?) was a really good idea for this show, it's redeeming itself.

Such a good episode..., was waiting for so long for Yuuya to stop being emo and do something badass. Hopefully he stays this way and we get to see some more Yui in dere mode!

That brief flashback of Yui there was pretty brutal but this episode was just that: brutal.

I spot a tsundere Yui this episode despite all the violence going around involving name calling. Ha! Anyways, not a bad episode and Yuya is a badass. Oh God, I hope he's ok because that ending...

As many cliches between Yui and Yuuya it was a good episode. I like seeing Yui's past the most also the military nature/ air combat like nature they appeal to the whole mechs is nice
Stella is the best in squad to me she's calm and doesn't stuff get to her she is a true solider

Awww! Tsundere Yui is so cute :3.

The last 2 mins of the episode I was like : "Don't die Yuuya ! Don't die Yuuya !" and "Please end ! Please end !". I hope he won't die because that would be a shame.

I don't know why but the title of the next episode make me think that he won't survive. D:

A bit of recycled plot from MLA but it was still intense to see it animated.

Yui is so best girl.

So why did they spend 10 minutes talking casually and fixing up a non-fatal wound in the middle of a battle. Retards like that deserve to be killed. Seriously just fucking get out of there sooner and it would not have been a fucking problem. Then they continue to talk and waste another minute or two while transfering Yui to another TSF.
