Yup, the old Macross series are great (if you don't mind the outdated 80s and 90s art). There were about a dozen Macross anime before Macross Frontier. My favourite ones are the original Macross series, Macross: Do You Remember Love, and Macross 7.

I've watched the first episode of Macross Frontier, and it looks promising.

Macross always has a good plot and my favorite Mecha series..

^Same here, I prefer it even more than so Gundam series.

Macross Frontier is amazing (the 1st ep), if your a Macross fan like I do you'll realise it pays a lot of homage to the old Macross series. I can't wait till April to see the next epsiode!

I think the very first Macross series and movie are the best. The original series is simply called "Macross", and the movie for it is called "Macross: Do You Remember Love?" All the later Macross series would make a lot more sense once you've seen the original.

If you're confused which Macross comes after which, then here's a brief timeline for the main series:

Macross Zero -> 2008
Macross -> 2009-2012
Macross Plus -> 2040
Macross 7 -> 2045-2047
Macross Frontier -> 2059
wolfblade
^those aren`t the only ones, there are more
Jagger
Yup, there's also Macross II and the Macross 7 spin-offs, but they're not really part of the main series. Macross II is set in an alternate universe, while the Macross 7 spin-offs have little to do with the main story. The main series are the five I already mentioned: Macross Zero, Macross, Macross Plus, Macross 7, and Macross Frontier.
wolfblade
^ lol, i missed where you said main series, in your first response

Ep 2 is out but no subs yet. I can't wait!
123Doy
woot macross frontier!
wolfblade
damn i want to watch it, but i`m gonna wait till all of it comes out
Bunsopook
I just watched EP2 and it has subs...its from Gattai on baka-updates. When i re-downloaded EP 1 from Gattai it seemed TV version was chopped up... If you still have the first DL on EP1 (promo version ) DL back in Jan. you will see a huge difference on both takes. I just hope on future episodes the won't cut it up like what they did to EP1.
Jagger
I watched episode 2 yesterday, and all I can say is the cel-shaded animation looks just as impressive as Gundam 00 (although that uses a different style of animation). I hope the story will be just as good though.
tujue
it was good i think

Nah, it's only the mechs that are cel-shaded. Everything else is still 2D.

Macross is different from other mech anime is that it's always analoged by a singer or a beautiful songstress...

Well, every Macross anime has a singer or songstress, but what I meant is that Macross Frontier has more specific similarities to the very first Macross, like a mysterious alien invasion, the hero taking control of a VF mech after its pilot is killed, the protagonists being trapped underground, the hero then being recruited as a new VF pilot, the heroine taking part in a Miss Macross contest, etc.

this series is okay. SHOCKED.gif

Actually, the Macross 7 Trash manga is also relevant to the main series, but I forgot to include it in the list.

aaaaaaaaarrrgh!!

I got "sci-fi orgasm" by watching this series!
its way too cool.


its not transformers or gundam.

what i like from macross is conceptualize inspiring, inspire lots of anime and Hollywood movies.
everyting from the first macross element has been re-introduced in this series.

i just copied from my friend, now im watching it non-stop



the singer is nice!story is awesome! character development is great! graphics and animation is the TOP-notch one.



and, macross 7 is nothing compared to this, hehehehe

JohnnyReb
Didn't Macross pretty much invent the whole transformable robot? I remember Gundam had to make transforming robots in Gundam ZZ just to compete. Ever since then, it seems like Gundam has been adapting to whatever trends were popular: Gundam G was to copy Street Fighter, Gundam Wing was to copy Sailor Moon, etc.

Anyways, I really liked the original Macross. However, Macross II and Macross 7 almost gave me a brain aneurysm because the were so bad. Then I saw Macross Plus, which renewed my faith in the series. So, you guys think I should check out Macross Frontier?
jrockerz
macross frontier is pretty much re-introduce almost all original first macross(robotech) element .... icon_smile.gif

and yes , macross is earlier than transformers,

but macross introduced much more science, deep drama and engineering accuracy as early as first macross.
it is also the first revolution of anime, to appeal more "mature" audience.

if you see Frontier,
its pretty much with current CG animation top quality. and of course : lots of science stuffs
as long as u not ressist japanese macross sing theme tradition, pretty boy stuffs, fast and intense battle.

I recommend this series. icon_smile.gif
