Macross 7 is a huge immigrant fleet which set off into the galaxy in search
of habitable planets. However, the unpredictable may happen in space. Seven
years after leaving the earth, the fleet was attacked by an unknown enemy,
and City 7 was separated from the fleet. The enemy attacks to destroy, but
mainly to is to steal the spirit energy, or spiritia, of humans. They are a
heinous enemy leaving the victims comatose and retreating to an unknown place
after attacking. Furthermore, an even more vicious enemy known as Sybil
appeared. Sybil infiltrated the drifting City 7. Sybil heard the singing of
Fire Bomber's Nekki Basara, appeared to be in pain. She became curious about
a tremendous spiritia known as anima spiritia.

Dangerous Kiss

I'm sleepy.
Let's just get clean this up.
Hey, what's wrong?
Normal spiritia.
Good morning music fans of City 7. It's time for Morning Sound. Here's some
hot news. Fire Bomber, the extremely popular new group, is working on an
album. They're so popular, the fans must be anxious!
Anima spiritia!
Wrong.
No.
That's not it.
No.
There.
That's it!
I want them to be able to concentrate during recording, so refuse all press
coverage.
I understand.
This is an important time for Fire Bomber, so let's all stay focused.
All right.
Akiko, we're about ready for a test. Akiko...
That's right. I was going to a recording test.
What?
Your rhythm is slow, Basara! We're playing 1/8 time here!
The notes aren't just symbols, it's a matter of heart!
It's irritating when you play things just any way you like.
Stop whining and just play along with me.
What are you talking about!? What do you think, Akiko?
Hm.. Why don't you play along with Basara?
Huh?
That's okay, isn't it?
But...
Let's just try it once like Basara wants it.
Where's Paul?
Didn't he come to get you awhile ago Akiko?
I didn't see him.
He's probably off taking a nap somewhere.
What a guy.
Shall we get started?
What is this chilling feeling?
in four hours!
That's too late! Do you hear me? If you aren't finished in three hours I'll
give you something to regret!
Commander Gigil, it's Lord Gepernich.
Gepernich, eh?
Commander Gigil has attacked the samples again without permission. He is
making preparations now for another attack.
I would like to acquire the samples without harming them. Keep a close eye on
him.
Yes.
You called or me, my lord?
From now on I will give my orders to this one. Gigil, you must obey him.
We'll call it lunch time.
Mylene, you have a visitor.
Gamlin!
Recording must be hard work.
Thank you!
Here's a little something. Share it with the members of the staff.
Thanks.
My mom must have been strict as a pilot instructor.
I'll say. She wouldn't even permit a single mistake. Many new pilots were
told they had no talent at all, and they were forced to quit.
I can just see it.
Is mayor Mylia strict at home too?
To the point where it's a nuisance.
I can just see it.
It's more powerful than I imagined. I like it.
Mayor, you need not ride in something as dangerous as this yourself.
It's the job of the mayor to protect the citizens. Besides, I'm the only one
who has the skills to pilot this.
However...
Say... repaint it red, so it'll be more eye-catching!
But this is a military...
It's all right.
Did I surprise you? There are some things that surprise even you, Basara.
Can.. I help you with something, Akiko?
I just wanted to talk.
With me?
Yes. Who else is there?
Well, yes.
Right?
What is it you wanted to talk about?
It's nothing that formal. For instance, where did you get to know Ray?
Huh? You haven't heard?
You know he doesn't talk about things like that.
Hm.. well...
You're like that too. You don't talk.
Is that right?
Yes.
You're similar somehow.
What is?
You and Ray. You're so similar.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Nekki Basara! You're such a...!
I'm such a what!?
Basara. What's wrong?
Akiko, you're stepping on my hot dog.
Oh?
Currently we intend to focus all of our efforts on finding City 7. Take a
look at the monitor. As it says in the materials I sent you, this is the man
we captured in City 7. Surprisingly, this man is a human from earth who was a
member of the Special Forces investigating the fourth planet in the Barota
system. Take a look a the next graphic. It is the appearance of a new enemy
which we think is a body of energy which moves at faster than light speeds.
A body of energy which moves at faster than light speeds?
Is it the enemy's new weapon?
We can't rush to that conclusion.
Proto-devil.
What is it then?
There's no sense in sitting back with arms folded. I would like to propose
sending an investigate unit to the fourth planet of the Barota system.
It is decided then.
There is something at Barota.
I can't believe it! Last time it was a biker named Rex!
Another woman also? What a scoundrel!
He goes after anyone he can get his hands on!
That's the kind of person Basara is. That should be clear now. You should
have nothing to do with someone so insincere. He made a pass at you too,
didn't he?
Not at me..
That's fortunate. He's just a playboy, through and through.
He doesn't care at all about deep feelings. Between men and women, once there
is love, there should be... how do I say it...
Is that the way it is for you, Gamlin?
Well, love is... anyway, you should have nothing to do with Basara!
I agree!
Just what hole did you come crawling out of!?
I am not a bug.
Pretty similar.
What can I say..
It has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it.
Mylene, we're getting started.
Okay. See you later Gamlin!
I am comforted to have someone like you on our side!
Oh.
Hey Ray, isn't Akiko a little strange today?
Now that you mention it...
What's wrong? Are you feeling a little ill?
Oh? Why?
It just seemed like it.
Oh, you're concerned about me?
Let's listen to the test song.
Akiko!
Akiko? Are you all right?
I'm all right.
Have something cold to drink.
Thanks.
Maybe you're tired.
I'm fine.
Oh good! I don't know what we'd do if you became ill right now.
I'm all right.
Akiko, I.. uh..
What?
Can I ask you something?
Um... Well.. How should I say it.. Basara..
Akiko, Basara was on top of you, um, well, what am I saying. Good-bye!
She's a nuisance!
Sybil, I've come for you!
Commander Gigil, please wait. Lord Gepernich has not given such orders.
Shut up! I haven't come here to do battle! I came to look for Sybil!
However..
You shut up!
Who did a thing like this?
It's nice, isn't it? Do you like it?
Mayor!
Let's sortie, Gamlin.
Mayor, you won't be able to pilot a VF-17!
Nonsense. Follow me. I'll teach you what a real dogfight is.
D1 to D2. Formation F. Don't be late.
Mayor, wait! I am D-Force. Please follow my orders.
I was your instructor!
That was long ago. As a member of the D-Force I have...
I can't believe you can say that after you destroyed my favorite plane.
Well, as far as that's concerned, I have apologized many times.
I'm the mayor. Just follow my orders.
You must follow military protocol!
Just make sure you don't get in my way.
Commander Gigil, you said there would be no combat.
Shut up! The enemy showed up, so I'll chase them away!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You'll get in the way! Why don't you just flirt with your girlfriends! You
playboy!
What's that all about?
If you do anything to Mylene, I won't let you get away with it!
This is combat, what are you quarreling about? Talking about Mylene!
It's a private matter.
I won't let anyone stop me from singing.
They're at it again.
Spiritia!
Commander Gigil, please stop. You will be disobeying Lord Gepernich.
All right then. I understand.
As long as you understand.
Don't give me orders!
Commander Gigil, why?
He tried to desert when faced with the enemy. Deserters deserve death!
Yes sir!
Gamlin, enemy ship at 5 o'clock!
I know!
I'll shoot them all down!
Mayor, you're too close!
This is how you dogfight, Gamlin!
Mayor!
What!? With only two fighters?!
Did you hear my song?!
Is it true?
Yes. Commander Gigil fired himself.
Gigil doesn't seem to understand.
Well done, Gamlin.
Mayor, you were impressive, but please don't go out fighting too often.
I would have destroyed them all myself without your help.
Mom, did Gamlin save you?
Thanks for saving mom. She's rather stubborn.
I just did my duty.
It must really burn her up that you saved her.

Next Time

Oh no! City 7 is being pulled into a star!
Fire! I'm burning up!
Don't be stupid! City 7 will melt!
I'll sing until I die!
Next time, Men of Burning Passion.
Radically Bomber!
