Through 14 episodes... In Ep. 01, we have the typical introductions and an attack on the Macross Frontier fleet by a powerful alien force. Then, episode 1 is re-released on TV with a slightly different version but essentially the same story. Through five episodes, things have been interesting and more character driven at this point, mainly seeming to establish the potential love-triangle of Sheryl-Alto-Ranka. There's also some table setting as well for future stories. Episode 7 is the big action piece to date with episode 8 being comedy and a further attempt on the part of the writers to make a love-triangle. Episode 10 has to tie-in with Macross Zero, as Ranka is one of the stars of a movie recounting those events. Episode 13 sees a shift from character stories and table setting to the main story. Episode 14 has the Vajra attack.Last updated Saturday, July 12 2008. | ||||||||

(14 episodes complete) I just took a quick peak on episode 1...Looks good to me...Anything is better than Macross 7 if you ask me...haha...Although the original macross will be forever the standard, I did enjoy Macross Plus and Zero...so there is plenty of room for a new macross story...Plus that VF-25 looks slick... also i just noticed, the ending song is from the Macross do you remember love movie... i watched episode 1 again. It is like Macross Plus meets Macross. I don't like the people art, but it is good to see the skull leader fly again... second epsidoe finished. I still don't like how the people are drawn, also i don't dig the transforming insect enemy, but i guess they had to be alittle different. four episodes watched. Ok what up with the miss macross and the young singer tripping...sheesh can we make up a new story...ok ranka lost, but still...As for seeing an old school Zentradi Mecha bringing back shades of Miriya. five episodes watched. I don't dig the VERY young singing star. Even Mynn Mae was older i think...I like the Alto Sheryl connection even though it seems very Mynn Mae/Rick Hunter esque...They better not be trying to convince me that there is a Ranka/Alto/Sheryl triangle that is just creepy, Ranka looks like a Kid...Not enough action this episode... six episodes watched. So Ranka is 16 whatever...thumbs down to her and alto...thumbs up to alto and sheryl...although every time i see alto, i wanna sing "lonely soldier boy" :-P Finally, NO Action again...although the SMS shipped looked cool, and the scout ships, but there wasn't any fighting...I give this episode a HUGE YAWN!!! seven epsiodes watched. Ok finally battle!!! I dunno what the vajra want, why are they fighting? HUGE plus, the Konig Monster!!! Yeah BOY, that is what i am talking about...although supposedly appearing in the orginal macross, I don't remember it, but i owned the toy. Also what up purple/pink figher...More intelligent life form? Could be... eight episodes watched. Fan service, cool, but mostly...Yawn...Alto and Sheryl relationship excellent...Mysterio 10 episodes watched...NONONONONO 11 episodes watched. As much as i disagree with Ranka and Alto i felt bad for her...As for the rest of this episode, it was kinda of a snoozer...some development...some bad guy introduction? or at least an inplication of some wrong doing...aaahhhh the macross world, just when we thought there was peace... 13 episodes complete...I am starting to not care what goes on here...just show me some mecha... and more SKULL LEADER...sorry but i still hate the character art, and the story is so every which way... why is Brea fighting Alto...do the Vajra who are like insects, have allies? 14 episodes watched...The Art for the People are HORRIBLE, Sheryl is getting worse and worse...more later...

8 Fansubs Watched : OK lets see, unknown enemy (CHECK), Transforming Robots (CHECK!), singer Girl in trouble (CHECK), other girl in trouble (CHECK), young hot shot pilot who isn't a real pilot (CHECK), and an abandoned plane just sitting there that the guy can figure out (CHECK CHECK CHECK). This is the plot of the original Macross. I hope they improved on it. The CGI on this thing is incredible. Episode 2: Alto learns that all his friends are part of the Vortex team but him! He's not so happy. At the end he finds both girls are looking for him.

(One episode watched): I noticed a number of typical Macross plot elements here, such as the Idol singer (a homage to Sharon Apple of Macross Plus OAV Series?). Unfortunately, something about the way this new series was presented annoyed me. It's hard to put into words, but it seemed as if all sorts of snazzy animation and artwork were being offered to me without a particularly clear explanation of just what was going on. It's as if the message was that this show is so inherently cool that it needn't be troubled to make sense! The music seemed overpowering and inappropriate at times, and music has got to have serious problems before I notice them. The action was wild, but again left me feeling more confused than excited. Come to think of it, why did the aliens break into the Frontier space station and start squishing people one by one when they clearly possess missiles capable of vaporizing spaceships altogether? Anyway, at the very end of the episode I realized that I still barely knew the two main characters, and felt little reason to care about them. Last updated Friday, December 28 2007. | ||||||||
