Information High was the one song on the soundtrack Kanno didn't compose.


* The atmospheric entry sequence in ''Anime/MacrossPlus'', set to Yoko Kanno's "Information High." Shortly followed by the final Isamu/Guld dogfight, the duel with the Ghost fighter, and Isamu rejecting Sharon's "Faster! Faster!" illusion when he hears Myung sing to him, the last half hour or so of Anime/MacrossPlus is a giant SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

* The final dogfight between Guld and Isamu is probably one of the best aerial combat animation work of its time. It led some Website/YouTube viewers to comment that 'if you don't at least attempt to measure up to this scene, then you're not really trying'.

* Sharon hijacking ''the Macross itself'', to the haunting strains of "Ai Sai En", is one of the most spine-tingling scenes in all of ''Macross''. Watching the legendary war machine slowly rise from its resting place in the heart of Macross City for the first time in years at the command of an insane {{Yandere}} AI is absolutely unforgettable.

* The fight between Guld and Sharon-hijacked Ghost X-9 is both this and tragic. Guld is forced to remove the YF-21's limiters to match the horrifying maneuverability of the X-9, which is being computer-piloted and thus can fly at almost physically impossible speeds, but it pushes his body beyond his limits and ultimately kills him. In the end, he still got the last laugh, as the YF-21 rammed Sharon's fighter after achieving target lock, destroying it in the process. The last thing he does is smile, knowing that he's won even as the g-forces tear him apart.

* The intro is no slouch either, though for a different kind of awesome. The scene is a prologue, set several years before the series begins proper with the music set to Voices, arguably the main theme of the show. How the scene is set up is awesome in an artistic sense as it takes "show, don't tell" to its logical conclusions. See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEWLj_unfHA]].

* The Information High sequence, the "Dog Fight" sequence between Guld and Isamu (named for the music that plays over their battle) and Guld's duel against the Ghost X-9. Basically, the whole last OVA/30 minutes of the movie is one long moment of awesome.
