Exactly why I can't take people seriously when they list Basara as one of the best pilots, it was so obviously a plot device. Put him in the same Valk as Isamu or Ozma and he would get torn apart.

So while reading advance synopsis is fun, I think in the case of Macross Frontier, the important part of the episode is probably the part they didn't mention in the synopsis.
Yep which is why I'm looking forward to episode 20 since while the synopsis mentions one girl the title clearly is for the other

And I think epiosde 17 will keep this trend going, all signs are pointing at Ozma but I wouldn't be surprised if some of Brera's memories surface and he remembers how he parted with Ranka during the Varja attack. Which is the real reason behind the title of Goodbye Sister.
