Macross Frontier - Lion OP HQ

[preciousrosee]

i love the piano intro of this song!

[jumanji798]

Macross has always been about music. They did a really good job in this series.

[twitchykun]

Macross shits all over Robotech. This is one of the examples why.

[sleepzuzuzu]

The video is so clear! *o*

[MrBsilvaB]

Sheryl and Ranka ♥

[XAltairXxx]

i didnt get the few episodes on the series like how did alto became the captain how did the captain of the giant spacecraft carrier and ranka's brother became wanted but the ending is good though

[shaimalan1]

@XAltairXxx [spoiler]Ranka's brother knew Leon was behind the assassination of president Glass. In order to keep the two people who knew the truth hidden (Cathy and himself), the newly-dissolved SMS defies the government and "liberates" their own ship, essentially becoming pirates. Alto is promoted by Leon in order to gain his trust and continued support in the war against the Vajra. [/spoiler]

[XAltairXxx]

@shaimalan1 uhhhm its not really a spoiler since i finished the series im just asking how they became pirates and alto became captain which make sense now

[shaimalan1]

@XAltairXxx "himself" in the comment below refers to the SMS captain. Also "ranka's brother" could imply two different characters, but they both become wanted for essentially the same reason, so whatever.

[YukiTheOnigiriLeek]

1:07 I never seen this person in the anime. Is it Sheryl when she was young?

[nikachan07]

@twinblader4 what is the name of the song?

[BuBBlepiE1000]

@nikachan07 Lion..

[XAltairXxx]

@nikachan07 can you read or are you just a kid its on the title sheesh people this days

[nikachan07]

@XAltairXxx I'm sorry but I do not know about the anime so it is wise not to offend me n.n

[XAltairXxx]

@nikachan07 well sorry for offending you but either you dont know about anime the title is still and will be at the top

[nikachan07]

@XAltairXxx if anime just confused me to see the title, apology accepted n.n

[hildaanna1]

i love this anime

[AnimeGirl4891]

The 2nd voice at the end sounded a little bit like Amy Lee.

[Arwenpii]

Yah Sheryl! What a mature and beautiful voice. Thank god the movie ending didn't go the way of weird loli-con pedophilia

[Swordsmanofthedark]

Barely got into the series and these are my observations so far:

1. This song is catchy.

2. Ranka and Sheryl are both awesome.

3. DAYUM ALTO IS HOT.

'Nuff said.

[dankithox]

RANKA ALL THE WAYYY!!!

[antonio7v]

luka and gumi ? LOLWUT XD

[StarWarsGal99]

@antonio7v Megumi Nakajima did both Ranka and Gumi's voice o3o

[antonio7v]

@StarWarsGal99

O:!!

[Aithershine99]

WE NEED OVERTECHNOLOGY ALREADY.

[TreyGuy57]

no english sub? fuck u nigger

[rommelteveydice]

se parece mucho al primer macross para mi son como mis telenovelas casi lloro jajaja

[TheKiryuus]

0:43 Sheryl pushes up her boobs, lol. I really hate Sheryl.

[sanjurosama]

@TheKiryuus

What stupid asshole would thumb up a comment that stupid?

[cariromewmew3]

i think this opening is better then the other one

[Uzumaki250]

This opening is simply beautiful.

I'm thankful you upload this, especially in HD! <3

I always see myself singing along with this, and replaying it over and over again.

The song is simply amazing and to hear Ranka Lee(<3) and Sheryl singing it is simply awesome! 1:09 is my favorite, too see them singing together! <3

[NeoDBLife]

@Uzumaki250 HD? Where?

[Icesoal]

I love this anime and the opening so much. The second opening is much better than the first one!

[hyakkiyagyou100]

great series, but too much singing....

[NegativeSquad]

Too much singing?

If you said that in this anime, that would be like saying "could this fuel cell stop having enough energy output to power a country already?".

THEY ARE GIANT JET MECHA STOCKED WITH SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF MISSILES POWERED BY BADASS AND J-POP/ROCK. DON'T QUESTION ANY ELEMENT OF IT.

[snakelord2]

@hyakkiyagyou100 but on the flip side of all the singing there is a crap ton of action :)

[hyakkiyagyou100]

@snakelord2 which was great. but the singing just felt gratuitous

[Dragen1610]

Supper opening finde ich ein sehr gutes und gute musik. 

[gundamhvyarms22]

i watched this and threw up for 5 hours straight.

[HigurashiAMV]

did i saw a Gumi, a Luka and a Gakupo? 0_o

[oXEmilyCrawshawXo]

@HigurashiAMV you saw their twins ;) but the voice for Ranka (who has the green hair) is Megumi Nakajima xP

[SuperNecaxista1]

wow is so cute the anime and op wow

[zcoold]

suddenly valkyries, thousands of them!

[xSNSDxSMxDBSKx]

i love this <3

[shumawasoe1]

whats this anime about?

[TriforceBiH]

@shumawasoe1 Well you can cleary see at 0:36 that this anime is about singing magic girls. And then at 0:38 ... wait what ? ....... 0:41 WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK ?

[ndalum75]

@shumawasoe1 Giant robots, alien invasion, a love triangle, and singing. It is part of the long running Macross franchise, which started with the classic Super Dimension Fortress Macross in 1982. It is most notable for introducing both the ideas of transforming mechs as well as a romance playing a huge part in a Mecha series. It is also famous for it's love triangles, which appear in every incarnation. Did I overwhelm you with information?

[123GoldenWings1]

sheryl and ranka wooooooooooo XD

[StephanieLacus]

Ranka for the win!

[00StrikePanda]

SHERYL ALL THE WAYYY!

[MissIdaMaria]

@TheStellaloussier Sheryl Nome has won my heart since the first episode!

[5454Alpha]

even if its a big target the awsomness would defeat any attack

[TheStellaloussier]

hey guys!! who's better sheryl nome or ranka lee??? vote now,,,,,,,,,

[marxel2]

@TheStellaloussier well, im girl but vote for ranka

[NegativeNanase]

They should have included this song in Z 2. WTH!!

[0900090990]

0:34 T_T no nippels xD

[0900090990]

0:13 mirror scream xD

[lotest11]

0:33

Finally and anime that does not try to hide that to the point of being unrealistic. I mean sure DBZ did that but it only did it to guys.

[Stealthsuit07]

I always wondered what happened at 0:54, road camo?

[lotest11]

Never watched the show before, still haven't.

Assumptions are:

They summon and power fighting mechs by singing.

They can make the mechs even stronger by magically stripping.

Is that acurate?

[PtbHien]

@lotest11 Completely wrong in every sense regarding your assumptions

[lotest11]

@PtbHien Kay~ guess I'll just try to find some episodes

[dingumfCallofDuty]

Is everybody blind or do they not notice the video is in 4:3 when it should be 16:9 WIDESCREEN.

It's an eyesore to see stretched version of this.

[kevinlei92]

macross, retconing Quess the bitch into Ranka the cute

good job macross, its about time

[PunchAPeach]

@kevinlei92 The name Quess Paraya shouldn't even be said, kinda like Voldemort.

[kevinlei92]

@PunchAPeach

now lets imagine what if they redid char's counter attack but replaced quess with ranka lee

OOOOOOoooooooooooooooo

axis just got sung to death

[PunchAPeach]

@kevinlei92 And the mobile armor Alpha Azieru would have Nyan Nyan and Deculture decals all over the armor. xD

[kevinlei92]

@PunchAPeach

OH man, i want to see that lol

more than i want to see magical lyrical nanoha: fate's counter attack

[dekagono12]

Gostei muito!!

Linda canção!!

[Bureizumaru]

Dont worry the Japanese are working on it they have the "T-52 Enryu" so it wont be long now... I bet they already have some but they are kept secret D:

[sk9091]

MACROSS F IS A FUCKING AWESOME ANIME . WHATEVER THE SONG , THE CHARACTER AND THE KICK ASS ROBOT .

[o0WhiteAngel0o]

SHERYL <3 THUMPS UP!

[happycandyworld42891]

People who post comments like, "15 people thought the dislike button was the like button" and other of that b/s. No one has to think like you. Maybe some people don't like the song. If your wondering why they watched the video, probably they were just curious.

[KySsish]

obviously 15 people turned the screen upside down and clicked the wrong button...

[MatthewStreetFighter]

Lol, I love how Sheryl is a slut and she shows off her b**bs on stage XD

[ronnor001]

Macross Frontier is amazing! It may not be the best anime out there, but it succeeds on so many different levels that it makes it one of the top ones ever made.

[HuMoDz]

0:08 "flontier"

this R L transliteraion stuff is strange

[Bureizumaru]

@HuMoDz I know you dont care since its been 1 month ago but, it isnt "flontier" its frontier just the font is strange

[darkmind1212]

this show was so epic it allmost made me cry. and i bet all you felt the same way

[AbrielTime]

@darkmind1212 omg You read my mind!

[atomofish]

@darkmind1212

Yeah. This was the Macross sequel I've waited for for a LONG time. It still blows my mind just thinking about it.

[straikychan]

u can see some nipples at 0:46

no need to thank me

kthxbye

[hrgwea]

Too much singing crap.

Nothing like the good old SDF Macross series.

Macross Plus and Zero were also good, but everything else is pure crappy singing shit (Macross 7 was the worst of all on that matter).

[maplestoryhaterx]

ughh I hate this anime, but the OST's in Macross Frontier are too great!

[supersaninpikachu]

Its like K-ON! For mecha fans!

[chica1390]

Alto-san *A*

[ChujowyToster]

Kurwa, it's great!

[broadsidexl74]

@Roy999888 Their loss, damn bunch of fools! They can't even get their robotech crap together, and now they want to wait and see how the live action movie does before they do anymore. Wish they would stop shoving robotech down everyones throats and give Macross fans what they want! If I ever find myself in a position of wealth, I would buy the rights and bring Macross to the masses.

[alucard455]

If im correct, Macross was the first to introduce this class of Space opera, and even f they didnt they just nailed the concept. They took it to a whole new level with the characters, the story and of course the music. The perfect combination for the perfect anime. Macross Forever (8)

[OrangesxRin]

Mmmm.... I'm so going to see this anime now! Because this is honestly one of the most epic anime openings I've ever seen.

[SoboBurger]

macross forever....



[LilATL94]

I'm sorry say something against Macross and I'll put a 30mm round through yourself from the gunpod of my VF-171.

[RacoonBurglar]

the chorus is so hamasaki styled

[MegamanNeoEXE]

thumbs up if you think the goverment should build a giant mech already

[moonlightguardian]

@MegamanNeoEXE its probably already been done... they're just hiding them from us -_-.... damn secretive bastards...

[Lolsocialism]

@MegamanNeoEXE Thumbs up if you want to see -New York- turn into a giant mech already :P

[Spartanz1170]

@Lolsocialism thumbs up if you want a Supervision Army gunboat crash into the south Pacific already XD

[pinoi78]

@Spartanz1170

Either there or Harmony Gold headquarters.

[Bureizumaru]

@MegamanNeoEXE Dont worry, the japanese are working on it they made the "T-51 Enryu" so at least its a step in the right direction

[NegativeNanase]

@MegamanNeoEXE The Japanese government had already made a life sized gundam a few years back. TECHNICALLY it is a mech, considering the thing can light itself up.

[tommybui]

@MegamanNeoEXE giant mech is big target, gouvernement builds stealth machinerie with high quality guns.

[avalonmagic101]

@MegamanNeoEXE FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!!!! *Internet High-Five*

[VocaloidFTW]

This is fromthe Macross frontier

for people that don't know it's about 2 famous pop singers and a space fighter pilot trying to find habitable planets. until they meet unknown aliens, hence 0:42

[VocaloidFTW]

soz for posting again but i ment to say Macross series not frontier

[alicabetts37]

ranka parts are the best and alto and ranka belong together

[TheDangoFamily]

I replayed this song 183,904 times :DDD

[Overture92]

Harmony Gold?? what's that?? somebody pls tell me what's going on

[WiseStrategist]

What FOOL of Anime company has yet this license this masterpiece of animation in this US!?

[bob1986]

@WiseStrategist

Many would love to. But Harmony Gold makes it difficult.

That being said, it can be done. And if any other Macross gets licensed it will be Frontier. 7 is out, due to crazy music rights and it being old. In fact we might get the 2 Frontier films since they'd be easier to fight HG over with. Possibly. It's rumored.

[FireBomberBassist]

@WiseStrategist I know right? This anime was so good when it aired it made alot of other shows seem boring. The quality was so high I was like O_O.

[008macros]

tu muy bien heeee

[VampGurlKisses]

i love this opening

[OpTic3liJK]

God damn u Harmony Gold now we can't watch any Macross in the U.S. FUCK YOU

[skillboy900]

BAJSKÖRV

[skillboy900]

BAJSKORV

[MagnaSonic3000]

Looks like Gundam on crack.

[alejandroso]

oh god... what have you done with macross????

[r3gie831]

no matter how many times i listen to this...its still awesome

also gives me the chills

[MayiiiChan]

@r3gie831  I know right? Its awesome, I even made up a dance for the whole song xD

[HigurashiAMV]

Sheryl kinda reminds me of Luka Megurine

[Cab00v]

@HigurashiAMV And then there's Gackpoid and Gumi too

[HigurashiAMV]

@Cab00v ah yeah! i see, you mean renko and alto! XD

[Xephon0930]

This is definately better than Macross 7.

[Ginobi666]

ohh.... so the title is LION huh.... took me 2 days of searching to find out T.T

[Nekopichu]

This song is awsome. I..must...replay...

[atomofish]

This anime makes me cry manly tears of EPIC.

[ujb5z987]

My reactions:

0:37 - Oh, it's a anime about singers...

0:39 - huh?

0:42 - HOLY SH*T!

[wardsnow666xxx]

@ujb5z987 Its an epic anime, and an must watch if you like space-battles and mecha, it has also great comedy and romance

[legonakonow]

@ujb5z987 no no no no no 1:20 HOLY SHIT

[Kitsune7Kyuubi]

@ujb5z987

It's a Space Opera. Basically, a Space war Mecha anime with singers.

[ujb5z987]

@Kitsune7Kyuubi I know, but my first reactions were these. And I'm sure a lot of people had the same reactions if they just watched the opening.

[nintendotyphoon]

@ujb5z987 Haha this opening is very deceiving xD

[wardsnow666xxx]

@ujb5z987 and u didnt saw the spaceship with rockers at 0:02 ?

[ujb5z987]

@wardsnow666xxx One medium spaceship is somewhat normal, a lot of spaceships coming out of nowhere with some giant robots is another thing.

[wardsnow666xxx]

@ujb5z987 but not all spaceships has rockets (weapons)

[nikey646]

@ujb5z987

Exactly.

@maplestoryhaterx

dude, if you hate this, u hate life >:|

[tearsangelz]

@ujb5z987

That how cool Macross F is :]

[ryudragon7]

dude the soundtracks are epic.

[cheahruizhe]

what is more perfect when 2d and 3d cobined pure wicked anime ^^

[noxie1]

Imo one of the best openings ever next to Utauyo Miracle and Uninstall

[cheahruizhe]

like the 3d battle thnks for upload pal

[jEllyBeAnS1308]

i luv this opening!

macross frontier is amazing >.< rankaxalto

[TsunadeFTisland11]

Awesome opening

And I like how the main dude is not a stereotypical masculine type, but a girlish crush for fangirls, lol.

[Kintoki1337]

@TsunadeFTisland11 But you aren't saying that being a bishounen is less stereotypical in an anime right?

Personally I found the music in M7 a lot better,but this is still some sexy shit,haven't watched Macross Frontier yet,but I will eventually.

[killua121212]

sheryl is beautiful

[FireBomberBassist]

@killua121212 But...but so is Ranka.

[killua121212]

@FireBomberBassist Sheryl is the best ! C'est la meilleure et elle surpasse largement Ranka par rapport à la beauté !! Et en plus l'histoire commence vraiment dès que Alto rattrape Sheryl dans les air au concert !!

Bref Sheryl & Alto c le meilleure couple que tu sois daccord ou pas !!!!!!

Sorry i'm french ;)

[Skyli1111]

I love this opening!!<3

[Skyli1111]

Is it Ranka that goes through the ground??

It`s at 1.07

[FireBomberBassist]

Macross <3 This opening still makes me smile and feel good inside.

[antichrist7922]

greetings from Japan.

Awesome op.Ranka and Sheryll both have vocal parts which makes this cool!!

I hope HG doesnt screw this up.Will they rename Saotome as Dick Hunter?

What a nightmare.I feel sorry for the US fans.

[mikicharacharm1]

I love this song

[GrievousCommander]

You will never have a delicious pop-star waifu and a loli sing you a song, while you partake in epic space battles. : (

[slurpeeman86]

ADV put out a correct Macross a few years back. Let Harmony Tin (they're nowhere near gold) option it out to Funimation (the only independent American anime company left), let them do it right, take some residuals, and go on your merry. The unwashed masses get an R1 Macross Frontier, F-mation gets another job, and the estate of Carl Maecek gets some scratch: everybody happy.

[chrissomerry]

@slurpeeman86 I thought a major problem was that the owners of Macross also won't licence out new macross material any more to the US for some reason, so even if Harmony Gold wanted to do anything, they can't (well, they can, just not with the original japanese macross works like frontier)

[RaddSpencer]

@chrissomerry HG claims they own the whole franchise, and has threatened litigation of any release that doesn't go through them. However, the Japanese courts found against their partner in this claim, Tatsunoko studios. So they still threaten litigation that prevents shows like Zero and Frontier from getting licensed, but they also cannot make any new Macross shows, or use those designs.

[Vnewbie]

Rather than "fuck harmony gold", I'm thinking more "...um, Harmony Gold...you still stubbornly clinging to that sinking ship?"

Really now, virtually all Robotech stuff since the 1980s faceplanted. Heck, Robotech itself was halfway to a faceplant. If I were the CEO of Harmony Gold, I'd dub Macross Frontier, call it a Robotech sequel, then watch as my sinking company actually makes money...and gets altered hate mail.

[dave19941000]

@Vnewbie The best idea is to do what AMV did to the original Macross, just translat it to english, no cuts, no scrite changes.

[KaguyaHimex]

I love this op.

When I first saw episode 18, my reaction to this was "...Holy shit. I just saw something awesome".

[betulasful]

The lyric of this song seems like meaningless, but all words have very purposeful means.

[dave19941000]

@betulasful Japanies is based on sounds not letters like english is, so translation is hard and phrases are made diffrently, and sometimes it just can't be translated ans make sents at the same time.

[betulasful]

@dave19941000

e.g. Sheryl's first lyric

"Turn the star at the center of the world. If you sneezed, butterflies scurry in some forests."

“Star” = “An allegory controlling the destiny”

“If you sneezed” = “If you did something without intention”

“Butterflies scurry” = “Butterfly effect is caused”

“Some forests” = “Some societies”

So, this lyric could be translated into

"Open your destiny with your will in the world. If you did something without intention, it can change some societies largely."

[MsPonex]

holly shit!!! that pink haired girl was on my hentai poster

[sahaquiel89]

la mejor serie de macross lejos

[kisharadesu]

Just one world : EPIC XD

[regie831]

lol her hair are like dog ears

[EatRune]

I actually wish this would get licensed, it'd fit so well on SyFy.

Trianguler isn't extinct all you do is
