Watched yesterday the fansub version... not really happy with this episode, is not for magic or other macross relation, the only thing that I consider wrong is the Roy presence in the show, it looks forced IMO and make part of the story a lot expectable.
Ok, I understand that do a SDF Macross is not easy but the storyline in the end looks banal and boring, we have the old crazy porfessor who want to destroy the world cause he think is wrong, he need a girl to use a sorta of acient monster, the girl is in love with the Hero, looks like the usual Japanese rpg story, a lot like Shadow hearts.
Banal bad guy death: They cause a lot of problem to the heros but they die like idiots at the end, OMG really hate that.
However awesome Shin-Nora battle.
$0.02
Please a new series that answer to where Shin, Sara and maybe Megaroad-02 are gone.
