Macross Frontier

[Fox]

Macross Zero was decent enough but they should've reconsidered some plot points in the last two episodes. At least this new one does the series justice.

[clonezero]

yeah should we blame min may for all of these??

anywayz you gotta wonder would the destroid monster on frontier would remain the same or it would get a retouch? because from its image on ep3 it looks the same

[cabs]

we get a chance to see some awesome evasive acrobatic maneuvers from the new VF25 in episode 4 and a little glimpse on the upbringing of our princess err... hero

oh, and another revival of a classic song of macross

[NiX]

Sounds awesome. I can't wait to see the ep 4!

It's too bad the quality of animation in episodes 2 and 3 weren't up to par with the pilot ep 1 though. But it's still all good.

[clonezero]

I think I like this version of the song its how should you say ... more energetic???

lol their really gunning for this one I hope it stays like this!!!

this is the only thing that sucks with one ep per week ... the waiting waaaah!~~

[maitreya]

Saw ep.4. Awesome manuevers.

[NiX]

Waaah Tim pakopya ep 4 hahah

[maitreya]

Nasa bahay. Punta ka na lang doon kahit wala kami.

Just watched.

I REALLY like where this series is going. They did a good job by going back to the basics and using the same ingredients that made the first series legendary.

The way I see it, Macross Frontier is to SDF:Macross as Gundam Seed is to MS:Gundam. I'm liking Frontier more though. The fight scene was just whoa. hahah

EDIT: I'm liking the generous amount of fanservice too. They sure are pulling out all the stops to make this succeed. Hahah

[Twin-Skies]

Just saw episode 1.

Beautiful!

One major grip I do have is the new transformation sequence for the VF-25.

Damn it - somebody please shoot the artist who thought it'd be effing brilliant to pay a homage to Voltes V!

Now I can't watch that damn scene without"LEEEEEEET'S VOOOLT IIIIINN!!!!" playing in my head.

Studio Nue almost blew it there.

Almost.

Look where Macross Frontier is. That's actually really sad. It got beaten by Onegai MY MELODY XD And PoT rerun! Aaand Pretty Cure, Naruto, etc. One Piece and Major is understandable.

*5.9%(*5.1%) 04/19 18:00-18:25 ETV Major. Major is awesome and deserves more love in the English community.

*3.4%(*4.2%) 04/19 *9:30-10:00 TX* Shugo Chara. It appears that this is the series with the lowest episode number count so far. Proves that to have high ratings, you need to assimilate into the viewing habits of the family, and that takes time. Like 100 episodes. Or 400.

taken only from the kanto region (more or less 25% of Japan's population, 10% of which came from Tokyo)

ep5... love triangle confirmed

Quoted for truth. I'm looking forward to around two episodes from now. That bit at the end of the episode promises extreme fighting soon.

[NiX]

Just saw Episode 5. It was pretty interesting. It still amazes me how much fanservice there is.

Oh and for as "high tech" as they are, they still aren't advanced enough to do anything about their Engrish. >_<

When the Zentradi invaded, the English language was unfortunately one of the earth's most regretful casualties. Everybody that survived spoke perfect Japanese.
