I've watched all the ep that they've subbed so far , so far so good I can say.

Only thing that irritates me is the main character >_<
He hates when people call him "princess" then why wont he take a haircut.

Especially in ep 4 , what he was doing in front of the mirror makes u look more like a girl.

Well, Macross Frontier does seem like a tribute by reliving scenes from the 1984 original. Example:

Finally a Miss Macross competition after 25 years?
The gerwalk rescuing maiden bit in episode 2?
Skull squadron revival?

So yeah, just to name a few :3 But it's good nontheless.

I've really been enjoying Frontier. I've always been a sucker for variable fighters. And i don't think i've ever met a Yoko Kanno soundtrack i didn't like.

10 eps in and still going strong.

Also the last episode was a tribute to one of Macross OVA's. Very nice move :D
The main character is a bit girl-ish , but ohh well no1 is perfect :/
I just hope he'll ignore (for at least a couple of years) the green haired creature-girl and treat-well the famous singer lady :)
Oh and the sniper dude (the one with glasses) is completely useless,emo and annoying. Hate that type of characters.

Other then that the fights are very good except the big-ass clumsy incredibly un-cool robo-spaceship. I mean WTF?!?!?! why would a big ass space ship "need" to transform into a human-like figure, isn't it much simpler just to shoot as it is why would any1 do something like that/ ffs it was completely retarted I hope they wont focus on it much.

Just FYI, Sheryl and Ranka are the same age give or take a few months.

becase its a Macross class in a Macross series. They always do that, in every series. It will always transform to shoot, count on it.

Heh guess you right but then I hope it wouldn't need to shoot much and leave the fighting to the aircraft-like fighters.

About the age thing. Maybe they are of same age but Ranka"continently" forgot all she been through and basicly a child while Sheryl remembers all here hardships and the sacrifices she had to go through to get where she is now. Meaning Sheryl is by far older then Ranka. At least mentally (and according to the way they are illustrated physically too).

yeah i'd originally thought Sheryl was in her early to mid 20s but apparently they're all supposed to be ~17
Ranka dosnt seem particularly immature for her age, she just hasnt had the same time in the spotlight Sheryl has.

For the record i think its pretty dern dumb to have to transform the ship to fire to but i've gotten used to it, at least enough to accept it. but yes i wish they would stick to the sexy variable fighters and leave the battlecarrier in ship mode.

Downloaded 4 eps so far , but haven't seen them yet . The anime sound quite promising thought .

The transformable macross came from the first tv series, where the gigantic city sized fortress SDF-1 can actually do hand to hand combat(punching through another battleship with arm-fist like carriership)

After that transfomable ship is a trademark in macross, including this macross frontier where the design based on macross 7(it's actually the same type of ship class i think)

Does Fronteir have anything to do with Macross 7, or Macross Plus?

macross frontier is supposed to be a sequel of sorts to macross 7. kinda in the same way macross 7 is a sequel to the original. they take place in the same timeline, but pretty far apart and aren't particularly related.

Oh, ok! thank you, I may just have a look for it now to see what it is like!
*hopes for more Fire Bomber glam rock type music lol*

I have been watching this series for a while and all i can say it is really good. Has its funny moments with a little action here and there. It may be a little slow at times but it is still really good in my opinion

I like most of the songs that are played throught out the series so far :)

I've watched up to ep.4, but I can't find 5 anywhere lol.

I noticed that in ep2 they were playin Totsugeki Loveheart in the car which is awesome!. and they refer to 'My Boyfriend is a Pilot' as a song we all know, so older series references already lol!

Macross Frontier was better than I expected. There are quite a few references to the original series in Frontier that brings back memories. The most noticeable ones are the songs. D:

Gotta say Macross Frontier is one awesome series so far. The music and humor are really outstanding in my opinion.

The plot is finally starting to unravel. I wonder what will happen between Ranka and Sheryl.

The new VF-25 and VF-27 make this show better than any of the other Macrosses.

The Show's about to end. Hurry up and finish subbing the show people >:|

RANKAAAAA... sheryl gets on my nerves, but it seems like they'll be together until she dies. Ranka was the cooler one :P

Ending was a let down for me. Would have prefered if Alto picked Ranka only and not Sheryl.

FINAL HOMMAGE!

First Shot at Ranka FROM THE HEROES NUNS!

KLAN ROCKS IN MICHAEL VF! GO KLAN GO AND KILL ALL VAJRAS!

SORRY MAN IF I KNEW YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS TO CHANGE SO MUCH I WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

WHAT MONSTER! CRAZY!
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

I WANTED TO ADD A FEW THINGS AFTER THE SUBS:

First is that I CONFIRMED LYNN MIN MAI PICTURE. I assume Richard is not his real name. FOLKS THE TRUTH: RICHARD IS NO OTHER THAN ONE OF THE MAIN COMMANDERS OF THE ZELTRADI FORCES THAT WERE PRESENT IN THE LAST BATTLE OF MACROSS FORTRESS. He was most likely affected by Lynn Min Mai's first song attack and emulation of Protoculture.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

SECOND LYNN MIN MAI'S MESSAGE TO ALL: Love each other (without conditions) and reproduce to COVER ALL THE GALAXY WITH EVERY RACE AND POSSIBILITY. What beautiful message THIS IS THAT I FOUND OUT. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND LYNN MIN MAI.

THIRD: PUBLIC APOLOGY TO RANKA AND BRERA. I AM SORRY THAT I HAD SUCH FEELINGS DUE TO BOTH OF YOU WHILE YOU WERE BEING CONTROLLED. RANKA BY BRERA AND LEON......BRERA BY GRACE. KOMENASAI, KOMENESAI, KOMENESAI. I JUST HOPE THINGS CAN BE LIKE THOSE AT END OF THIS SERIES BUT REALITY SUCKS MORE.

I will not take my comments back because I think my attitude was right at that time and my feelings but HOW CAN NOT BE DIFFERENT WHEN RANKA SAVED SHERYL!!!!!?????

DAMN IT IF ONLY I KNEW THE CONTROL WAS THIS DIRTY! ONCE AGAIN SORRY and PEACE WITH ALL. LET US TRY TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER MORE.

BTW BOB IS NOT GAY-----> In this pic he has two girls clinging to him so he might be straight again! BEST PIC OF NUNS!

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES BUT HERE IT IS:
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

YOU KNOW IF I COULD I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE LIKE THIS AND NEVER VAJRAS ATTACKING US! HAPPY FAMILY!
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

ALL IN ALL GOOD EPISODE.......TOO PERFECT ENDING.....ALL VAJRAS ALONG QUEEN SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.

love macross frontier so much
but too bad I didn't watch the first macross but currently downloading it
I didn't hate alto. Because he likes sheryl much more than that little girl Ranka. But, he should pick one of them in the final episode

First Macross anime I've watched great anime, nicely composed songs. Don't know much about the older versions but I might think about watching them.
