Yeah, one of the greatest anime series ever! This series started way back in the 80s with the original series and is still going today with the latest series Macross Frontier airing in Japan right now. So this thread is to discuss anything Macross related.

I just finished watching the first 3 episodes of Macross Frontier, my god it was good. After watching them all except Macross 7, I thought there would never be a series able to compare with the movie "Do you remember love?". But the CGI effects are great. And the new VF-25 mecha looks awesome.

The characters and the storyline so far are really cool too. I noticed that they tried to re-create some of the scenes from the original Macross series in this one. For example, Hikaru flying around Macross city carrying Minmay in the Valkyrie's hand. Aliens shoot off the hand from the mecha and Minme falls. I think that was a cool tribute to the original series.

But yeah, finally a worthy successor to the original Macross storyline.
Macross Zero and Plus were good and all, but they weren't as good as the original. Macross 2 isn't really part of the storyline, and Macross 7 was weird. They took the realism away and started to use magic and stuff. Didn't like that.

Greatest, yes. IMO, could do w/o the conspiracy thing, tho.

VF-25 looks like a Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker (and variants). Awesome - Pugachev Cobra w/ that bird would be fancy but sorta pointless.
Sucks that Michael died, and just when I got to liking him after that friendly-fire episode (I think it was 9); however, Sheryl's friggin' annoying as f*** - anyone who's watched Gundam SEED/GSD could easily compare her to Flay (and maybe Meer).

Here here, Frontier needs some more GAR. Manly characters are always the most awesome XD. Focker had so many memorable quotes. Loved the way he used his job in the military to pick up.

I don't get where they get these quantitative numbers from and what purpose it really serves. Its a cartoon, fiction.

its like trying to find out what superman's top speed is tongue.gif.



Well, I'll be surprised, if the movie even makes it to theaters, than straight to dvd... then the trash tongue.gif. There are just too many ways to FUBAR it up, by "modernizing" it. And the whole notion that a love song is an warrior alien race's weakness is just too "kid friendly" and lame, even back in the 90s
