Macross Frontier 07

On By hayaseIn Macross

First Attack. Lovely, just lovely. Best mecha battle sequence I’ve seen for the year so far.

König Monsta!!!

For most parts of the show, I was barely thinking as I took in all the gorgeous sights and sounds that made this episode a delight for every mecha fan. Awesome mecha? Check. Awesome fights and explosions? Check. Awesome pilots? Check. Awesome music? Check!!!!!!!!!!!

As expected from a series in the Macross franchise, an episode like this had to come. Now on to the other interesting points.

  • We get tidbits about Macross Galaxy, specifically at how advanced the technology of the fleet is. Or was. Too bad, we probably won’t get a closer glimpse at it.
  • Sheryl gets more points, for tears and the speech. If those didn’t move you even a little, I don’t know what will. And she knows her job is to sing, and a pilot’s is to fight. Right now she’s my most favorite character in Macross Frontier.

Ooops, my eyes

  • The unnamed blondie in the OP made his appearance. After about 4 or 5 viewings of episode 7, I finally realized his craft was the one making the pink trails just before Alto gets inside the Vajra ship that ‘ate’ Luca. There’s a lot of mystery around him but I think it’s a waste of my time doing speculations.
  • There’s a lot of grunting and shouting, I hope they tone that down in future eps. But I’m not hopeful that’ll happen.
  • Macross Quarter transforms! I go ‘Awesome! Methinks I want a replica of that!!!’ And then I look at the mess of my room and say, ‘On second thought, I’ll pass.’

  • I know I’ve said so many times that I’m not picky with animation, but I feel that this series deserves to have a lot of effort to be put into the animation. With that Macross Frontier would blow the competition away. Well, actually I wish they could have made the sequence for this red gown better.

  • But I will not deny the awesome animation of the exploding ships. This one here is for the Vajra ship.

The above is what I call a ‘beautiful explosion.’ 🙂

And now, I’m off to refreshing my fave tracker for the episode 8 raws. 😀
