Summary:
Macross Frontier marks the 25th anniversary of the Macross anime franchise. It is a direct sequel to the first Macross series and Macross 7 and follows the lives of Alto Saotome, Ranka Lee and a pop idol named Sheryl Nome on board the Macross Frontier colonization fleet. After the war against the Zentradi aliens, Humankind has spread across the universe in order to ensure its survival. The Macross Frontier fleet is part of a effort to spread and maintain the culture of humanity.
I found this anime to be quite good. One thing I definitely liked about this anime was not only the story(which was fantastic)but also characters, who I greatly enjoyed watching as the series progressed. While I wasn't exactly crazy about the singing, I did like it for the originality, considering that not many animes incorporate that sort of thing into the story. The mech fighting was pretty good and added to the action, and the music itself(both that sung by the characters and the background music)was very nice. One of the few things I dislike about the show though, was the 'two girls and one guy' sort of thing, but I have to admit that it really did make things more interesting and added a nice touch of drama/romance, balancing out all the action. Overall I found this to be a great show, worth watching up until the very end.
