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 hate to say it, but there's only two things that the Macross/Robotech series does well, and they're flashy battle scenes, and music. The plot almost completely mirrors that of the original; stunt pilot gets wrapped up into battle, employee at a Chinese restaurant becomes an idol, they fight big aliens. Despite this, drama between Ranka and Sherryl, along with the way the anime utilizes emotion and music simply drew me in. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone just out for a good unique plot, but to anyone who loves music, and fighting robots in space; condition is all green.
