Wow they have a shitty military, but I really enjoyed this episode. I am liking where this is going.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

Oh shit, a mecha anime that ain't looking half bad. (to me) Will continue. =p

Both the opening and ending songs were really good, must find a download link!

Oh and when Ranka was doing that commercial imitation... cute as fuck. ;-;

 Special version of the episode what's on youtube, in the 19:11 minute when sheryl falls from ice, when the ice reaches, there is a kind of nose/face, did you notice??Do you know who is? And by chance a subliminal message?

Honestly not sure what to expect.
The designs were really bland.

The action scenes were really fun.

The music was meh.
The choreography of the music was kriffing amazing.

It had nothing like the first Macross's falling through the clouds scene.
Hope for improvement.

I must say that I love the art, the music was meh and the story looks promising.

I'm glad that after 2 months of watching Macross series I finally reached the Frontier.

I haven't seen any of the previous seasons and I hope this won't matter.. I didn't know I was a mecha fan until I saw Suisei no Gargantia (even though I had seen FMP and some other mecha animes xD) Gundam Seed is awesome too.

First episode looking really good. And it's where the "Nihao Nyan" meme came from!

Now that's more like it. This got me back into that SDF groove after Plus and Zero failed to capture the original's charm. Hope it keeps up.

Thought Alto was going to be some douche, but I'm really liking him so far. The ponytail is a pretty fresh design choice and the fact that he's teased for being feminine makes him rather relatable.

Ranka is cute. Not much to say about her yet, but that'll do.

Also, is that seriously the eyecatch? Because it's my favorite thing ever as of right now.

Wow...Satelight sure likes to make their opening episodes flashy...

And for those who wonder why they call him "Princess Alto", they mentioned that he used to do Kabuki acting with his family. In Kabuki, males play the role of females during the performance, which is possibly the reason why they constantly refer to Alto as a girl. And I'm assuming that he doesn't cut his hair because of the scolding he will get from his parents. Poor Alto...

I'm also pretty surprised that they were able to make an homage to each series in the past:

Nyan-Nyan - The name of the Minmay restaurant in SDF Macross.
Sheryl Nome - Possibly a reference to the lead females in Macross Zero.
The Concert - Definitely gives vibes from Macross Plus.
"Listen to My Song!" - What Basara says right before he starts singing in Macross 7.

Basara was awesome, but he was a bit too much. Sheryl's a bitch...Macross Frontier is gonna be fun...

I think "Yack deculture" edition of this episode is the most complete one (though there're differences in ED songs and all that). In any case, awesome, I really loved the first episode (or rather its 3 versions xD).

Available for the first time in legal English subtitles with commentary from Aya Endou (Sheryl Nome speaking voice) and Megumi Toyoguchi (Klan Klang voice)

I can't wait for the Blu-ray to come out. It is great to see this series again.

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022
