* Alto shows off and knocks Sheryl off stage? [[The Show Must Go On|"Get flying, you idiot!"]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjAJEs22rtM Episode 7] of ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' at first appeared to be a crowning moment for the ''entire goddamned series''. It must be seen to be believed. However, a short while later, Episode 14 came along and comprehensively one-upped it. Little did anyone realise, of course, that the ''real'' awesome was [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J_kvVCdGUU all being saved for the finale], twenty five minutes of the most intense space combat and wildest emotions ever set to animation, in which every single character and mecha gets a personal [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* Ranka in ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', episode 12. She pierced the <s>heavens</s> fold distortion with her <s>drill</s> special fold engine, descended from space onboard a fighter plane sporting four huge-ass loudspeakers under its wings, landed in the middle of a battle between two [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|Zentradi]] armies, and proceeded to pacify them through the power of pop music. Not bad for an [[Ordinary High School Student]]. Memo to [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Celestial Being]]: THAT'S how you stage an intervention.
* Pretty much anything Sheryl does to assert herself, beginning with her amazing recovery in episode 1 when Alto crashes into her, and she incorporates it into her act (making him utter "You're incredible" in awed tones,) all the way to {{spoiler|singing "Diamond Crevasse" for the panicked refugees in episode 20, who were crying out for Ranka moments before}}.
** {{spoiler|"Ranka ... if you are the songstress of hope, then I will try singing amidst despair."}}
Line 17:
* The SING-OFF in the hospital atrium balcony between Sheryl and Ranka for Alto's attention/affections... This troper must have watched it 20 times in less than a week. It crowns the awesomeness not just of the characters, but the series and the franchise as a whole.
** Personally, I found that moment simutaneously totally awesome and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|completely hilarious]]; Alto is obviously ''terrified'' of the two women fighting over him.
* Ozma's burst of [[Hot-Blooded]] '''''[[Unstoppable Rage|UNSTOPPABLE RAGE]]''''' in episode 17. Further noteworthy for his {{spoiler|surviving his injuries, which were accompanied by a slew of references to Roy Focker's death in similar circumstances in the original series}}. Even the writers were {{spoiler|in on it, as the blatant scene had characters immediately commenting about how emotional everyone would be if that had happened, and Ozma looking ''directly at the camera'' when he delivers the line, "Didn't I tell you? I will never die."}}
** Another of Ozma's: "I'M NOT AN ADULT, I AM A MAN!"
** [[That Guy With theThe Glasses|(PUNCH!)]]
** My first thought upon seeing that scene: "When the hell did [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]] get here?"
** It's worth noting that they share the same seiyuu.
