Commander McBride Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 That guy who gets blown away by the VF-1D's foot thruster in the first episode, when Hikaru crashes into Studio Nue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetaplus Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Yeah, my favorite kill is the Millia-vs.-Zentran scene in DYRL. Specifically the last guy, who she literally dismembers before stomping on his skull. I have the .rm rip so it's kinda hazy, but near as I can tell his legs and hips fall to the ground, then his arms, then his torso and head (complete with ugly pink 'circles' where his arms were torn off at the shoulder). Moments before Millia stomps on his head. If you pause/slow-mo, you can see his eyeballs pop out as his skull literally implodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the actual frame was on sale recently ... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...12&t=2170&st=40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love that little smile he gives right before his innards explode and he vaporizes the X-9 I'd have to agree its one of the best kills out there.

red_xavier Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Favourite Kills: 1) Shin's first kill in Macross Zero_1, I love the way the second missile arcs its way to the Mig as it emerges from the clouds. Always gives me a little chuckle. 2) Isamu Dyson's kill of a renegade zentradi - the one that we see from inside the cockpit. It's so intense. 3) The last destroid in Macross Zero_3, the one that just manages to escape a watery death, only to blown to bits by two SV-51s. Isn't it odd that in the Macross world, the women pilots are the most psychotic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingNor Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 One of my favorites is the zentradi guy who gets vaporized when max's valk overheats and blows up in the TV serise, that was awsome. a close second is in the first or second episode, the guys in the patrol choppers, if you watch closely you can see them burning to death in the cockpits. trippy.

Those were some great pilots in those destroids. It's too bad we won't see them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurin Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 There does seem to be quite a saddistic fascination on seeing people die graphically. I thought this was supposed to be about skill or coolness, not gore. But, I think the gore fascination is explained by so many of us growing up only seeing cartoons meant for children. . . with no death and no gore. So when we see it now, we get excited. . . it confirms in our mind (and allows us to assert to skeptical loved ones) that these "cartoons" we watch definitely are not for kids.

treatment Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) Besides Hikaru blowing up Bodolza, there's another noteworthy Hikaru kill. Hikaru in a VF-1A blowing up a Nousjadeul-Ger in front of Delta-One. Then turning around for one of his money-shots. One of the best fanservice in mecha-anime.

I thought this was supposed to be about skill or coolness, not gore. As did I, I meant Arial kills, I guess I should have specified as victories, but oh well.

USCOLMRNE Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 One of my many favorites that I dont think anyone mentioned, in the SDF Macross TV series episode 35 when Santa Claus blows up nearly half of the city and Max got all mad because Hikaru ordered everyone to stop the fires, nice christmas gift from kamujin(however you spell his name) another one from SDF Macross TV series when kamujin and a few power armour go to this city and they steal that chamber that can make zentradi big again, that whole scene when the VF-1A gets hit and breaks into a million pieces was awsome, sadly just a few pissed zentradis a bottle of alcohol and kamujin destroyed almost everything, the look on Hikaru after he saw the city destroyed =). One well thats sorta funny but I like it is in Macross 7 episode 44, Operation Stargazer, when Gamlin the smart pilot he is smacks his VF-17 into Gavil's valkyrie, also adding, when Ensigns Voldick and Mathews got shot and LTJG Docker went crazy, that was funny too, elite pilots get killed faster than the cannon fodder ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
