Macross Δ #14 — Assume the Position

Is there anything a pop idol concert can't solve?

Impressions:

For whatever bizarre reason this week, instead of the normal OP animation, they used an incredibly poor montage of clips from when it was an insert song last week, including being the version sung by Whose-Its. Anyway, after the overwhelming excitement of last week, it's time for a vapid episode to shore up the half-assed attempt to pretend like there's a love triangle here. I feel like they've failed at that by having it pivot it on a character who probably doesn't even have a penis to begin with and has the awareness of a sack of dirt, but hey, toss some scraps out and the fans will descend like a pack of wolves.

It's not like there's much else to talk about this episode though. The first half was once again spent faffing around about how things are totally awful because of stuff off-screen, but we're doing our best. Then a convenient mechanical failure kicked in, giving the most tepid excuse for an insert song imaginable while Hayate and Elf-No-Tits stripped and… turned some valves. I liked how there was an explosion and explosive decompression began, and the response was "we idols have to sing harder!" To reassure and distract the people from the very real potential catastrophe unfolding over their heads. While a pair of teenagers mounted each other, rubbed tits, and grunted. There's absolutely a metaphor here.
