| 1 | * The atmospheric entry sequence in ''Anime/MacrossPlus'', set to "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. |
| 2 | * 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. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEWLj_unfHA See for yourself]]. |
| 3 | * Myung Fan Lone is a human young woman who by all means [[BrokenBird has the right to break down]] [[BreakTheCutie due to the crap that her life has been]], and who's desperately underpowered when compared to Sharon Apple's near-Goddess control of her surroundings. [[PluckyGirl Then she decides]] [[WillNotBeAVictim to not angst anymore]], escapes from the place where Sharon stashed her after taking control, knocks down two guards, and does what she can to stop Sharon from killing Isamu to give him "the biggest thrill ever". And as said above, she manages to break Isamu off from Sharon's illusions, saving his life. ActionSurvivor to the max. |
| 4 | * 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. |
| 5 | * The final dogfight between Guld and Isamu is probably 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'. |
| 6 | * 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. |
