Loaded and eccentric Zentradi get the coolest toys

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. :(

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

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

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.

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

-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

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. :gonk:

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

Sheryl x Ranka, Alto x Sky.

Cathy tells Ozma that amongst the documents found at the 117th fleet's remains was a letter to Dr Mao, informing her that her granddaughter had given birth to a baby girl. The mother had given the child her fold-quartz earrings.

1. Did Grace know at all when she chose Sheryl for her "experiment" that she was related to her mentor Dr Mao?
2. After Sheryl's parents died she was left abandoned and had to fend for herself. How did she still manage to keep those earrings with her?
3. What happened to all the Vajra in the end? They just left? "Oh here, take our planet. Have fun! Bye!!"...?!

1. She knew who Sheryl was, or at least found out later, since in one scene she did talk about pitting the descendants of her former co-workers against each other. Or something like that.
2. Not a lot of details on that. Maybe she wasn't left alone for long.
3. They're still on the planet (presumably gathering around their newly headless queen) as signified by the presence of Ai-kun. Let's interbreeding fun time!
