I am not a fan of sci-fic anime, and I could describe it as a genre that I avoid the most. However, Macross Frontier most certainly distinguishes itself from all other.
The story was very well written and I felt the series has alot more meaning to it than what it appears to be. It seems to convey a deep message about the real world, and I think that these sort of shows are the most meaningful to watch.
The artwork was quite impressive. However, at times it feels that the colors were a bit over done. But overall I was satisfied by the effort that was put in in terms of art.
Sound effects were nicely done. I just hook up my surround sound speakers and it feels like I am in the middle of a space war. But it is still excellent without the speakers. The music in my perspective was absolutely flawless and all of the songs fits the show quite well.
Character design was quite excellent. I have become immensly attracted to Ranka Lee right after her first appearance in the series. Character developemnt of all other characters were also nicely done.
And of course, I totally enjoyed myself while watching this series. I find myself craving for more after each and every episode and it was quite sad for me to see it all end.
I've rarely given any show, let alone sci-fic show much praise in the past. But Macross Frontier definitely deserve my praise. Overall a 10/10 from me for this series.
