Macross/II/Plus/7/Dynamite 7/Zero

i saw all eps until 10, and i must say, macross F rocks!
love how many reference it has to the other series(ep 1 rankas rescue)(miss macross)(macross zero) and while the music is not what i can say my fav(im a fire bomber guy) i enjoy it very much, love rankas Ninji-n Loves you yeah!(the carrot song!!!!)lol, it is the funniest macross too.

New episode is the best way to do a clipshow, I suppose.

Spoiler:

Loaded and eccentric Zentradi get the coolest toys

That was impressive, I was actually entertained by a recap episode.

recap? is there a recap?? lol, i have to continue my eps, got stuck on ep 10

I almost raged hugely at episode 17.

Spoiler:

Macross Frontier is big on throwbacks and references to previous series, so when Ozma and Kathy started getting closer and he took a hit in battle and kept going, it set off major Focker vibes.

Thank goodness they didn't go that route, though. It would've been pretty awkward. And sad.

Sheryl got almost zero screentime last episode, so here's hoping she goes back to being an awesome force again soon.

Told off. You and everyone else on the planet got pineapple salad trolled. The guys back at the animation studio are probably laughing their asses off right now.

Oh fuck. After all that pineapple salad trolling

Spoiler:

they killed Michel. So sad now
And Nana-chan may have lost an eye too

So, am I the only one disturbed by the pin-up art on the Monster that Ranka flies around in?

Nah, definitely not. You have to wonder what Ozma was smoking when he let that fly.

Also, I wonder how much emergency power went into Sheryl's spotlight?

Spoiler:

Killing off a major character tends to be the turning point, and hopefully it won't be for the worse. The preview sort of killed the suspense with the slice-of-life clips too. =/

And also, just when I thought we'd get some more, sweet monster action they just transitioned scene and I'm all like don't leave me hangin nigga

Episode 21:

Spoiler:

Flight pack Klan was fucking rad for the 10 seconds she got to kick ass.

And Ranka leaves! Putting future plot development into a potentially awkward phase.

im making my way back to the series, i just watched ep 17
gotta love the references to old series..
but im impressed, they actually use macross 7 songs!! my soul for you and try again, and i must say that the parts that are used feels like were written to bond with the music!
(well, im a macross 7 fanboy, but gotta admit the music fits perfectly)

hope it gets better and better!

just catch ep 20

Spoiler:

i cant believe it, michael dies, and in front of the person he loves, it got really emotional

BTW
now that the story is at the climax, i just noted a few things.
the influence of previous series in macross frontier is really high, i just got some points.

Spoiler:

-the obvious homanage like alto in a vf25 for the first time, or ranka in chinese outift, miss macross etc(this points to SDF macross)

-mao from macross zero is mentioned(so far) and have some involvement in the facts of the series

-Brare's vf27 interface although different in animation, works like Guld's vf21 in macross plus.

-the concept os sheryl being artificial artist(or idol) is just like sharon apple which actually is an artificial "being".
sharon and sherryl, both sounds similar.

- i thought that macross 7 references where limited to sherryls "listen to my song, and the obvious songs in the series, the influence is broader and bigger. Ranka's songs works similar to the "song energy" that is featured in macross 7 and this is an important key in the plot in both series.

macross frontier takes many concepts from older series, expand them, improve them and execute them all so seamless.


and im aware what you guys may think
"this guy have seen macross way too much " and the truth is YES I HAVE, lol

Show over! Kinda ridiculous. =/

Spoiler:

Once again the basic idea behind the show's conclusion is a bunch of fantastical hyperdimensional bullshit. It just felt way too over-the-top, and while I enjoyed all the omg cool stuff going on it just didn't feel like it had the impact it should have since the whole situation became a clusterfuck. For example, Julian releasing the limiters on the ghosts as a tie-in to Macross Plus, but then they just fly off and we never really get to see them do anything.

Once again, the monster was my favorite part. It just felt hard-fought, clumsy, and believably awesome compared to all the bone-crushing G-forces everybody else was pulling.

When they make the next Macross they need to go back and look at what made Superdimensional Fortress: Macross and Macross Plus so popular. No, not Linn Minmay, it was the social aspect. It's hard to identify with giant space monsters, and practically impossible to identify with a collectivistic bug society. The enemies just feel like foils when they used to be people, and that's why culture had such a significant impact, not some bullshit about fold waves.

Good ending overall, but the show could've been a lot better. Plus I didn't need to see Ranka naked.

It was ridiculous and way over the top. By my third watching I ended up loving it, though. They crammed as much throwbacks to previous series as they could in those 24 minutes

Spoiler (highlight to read):

(Daedalus attack? Check. Isamu plane-hand? Check. Macross 7 song titles? Check. Nonsensical Macross Zero crap? uhhhh)

and it was all choreographed at a frantic pace, with a rocking song medley to boot.

Fuck you Tails this series was worth it

The references to past Macross series had me nerding out.

Spoiler:

Alto tosses Sheryl a salute before heading out, a la Hikaru saluting Misa in Do You Remember Love. Sheryl end confirmed.

I thought it was a decent ending to a great series, but hopefully the upcoming movie will be a continuation of the story and not a remake. There are way too many lingering questions that can't go unresolved.

Forget Alto x Sheryl or Alto x Ranka. This is the real end to the love triangle:

Spoiler:

Sheryl x Ranka, Alto x Sky.
