  • the second rule of piloting a mech:so does have your girlfriend singing on the back, the second rule stacks with the first.

  • Comment removed

  • still can't fid the sub version of the first episode... DAMMIT!!! i even have the Ultimate Frontier game T.T

  • Man, I wish there wasn't such a huge SNAFU with releasing this legally in the US. Stupid Harmony Gold, sigh...

  • Thumbs up for Bobby and the Macross Quarter!

  • i like macross frontier its cool a lot :-) it has nice music, i like the charaters and my favorite Alto and also i like the veritechs there cool with all diffrent desights :-).

  • can anyone tell me why they would use fighters that are designed like atmospheric planes (e.g. wings to utilize uplifting air currents and even thrusters that look like jet turbines rather than rocket engines) in outer space instead of ones that are designed for that environment?

  • @Sarkral Well in the original Macross they were designed for use both on Earth and in space so they needed to be able to function in both equally well, and I assume they kept the design for several reasons, first as a homage (the veritech is one of the biggest and most recognized symbols of the series), beacuse the design proved itself over years of war, and because shooting down aliens in space with jets is badass. :p

  • @sortedevaras Don't get Robotech confused with Macross, its Variable Fighter, or Valkyrie.

  • @junsengjs That is technically incorrect since only the VF-1 Valkyrie was a Valkyrie so it would not be correct to call all of them that. It would be like calling all fighter jets a Mustang after the P-51 Mustang. I should have said Variable Fighter.

  • @sortedevaras the name "Valkyrie" is used to refer to any variable fighter in the macross franchise, example: Alto called Brera's VF-27 a valkyrie the first time he fought with him.

  • @sortedevaras and that does not justify you calling them "veritech" in one bit.

  • @mingzl81065 If you would bother to read the last sentence I clearly said I was mistaken and should have said Variable Fighter but I guess its too much to ask for someone to read a whole post before jumping in with their inane comments in an attempt to out nerd everyone else.

  • @sortedevaras and that STILL doesn't justify you calling them "veritech" =) And yes, it is indeed a lot to ask for me to read that last comment of yours again when there's just so many stupid points in it that each time I read it it brings my nerd OCD to a new level. I had to smash my head against my TV untill the screen broke the last time I read it.

  • @Sarkral The atmospheric plane design allows the fighter to fly in atmospheric conditions, thus making a fighter capable of space and air flight, the jet turbine-like thrusters are thermonuclear engines which give quite a lot of thrust and is also smaller than rocket engines.

  • yeah. wen i heard this. it sounded extremely similar to the gundam song.

  • Shut up and enjoy it

  • Doesn't get any better than this!

  • i want that big ship.

  • What did I just watch? All I saw was crazy flashy explosions in an incoherent plot. I can tell that this is targeting kids and teens. Since when did music have magical powers? This is totally not what macross was supposed be. What the hell is up with klanklang and the stupid cutesy creatures? And this version isnt even trying to be its own thing its trying to emulate the original characters! its trying to be the original! I cant take it Argh! *gouges eyes out to obnoxious Japanese music*

  • @warhawk009 LOL If you didn't want Japanese music, you picked the wrong series.

  • @yanipheonu I love Japanese music, but these lyrics are ridiculous. The plot is ridiculous. The characters are ridiculous. Sadly someone decided, hey lets make an anime with characters that are flying jets that turn into robots and each one be a different color and lets have them fight giant insects and then lets have cutesy aliens and have a 50 foot woman that shrinks when she is a little girl. And lets target kids and teens with flashy colors. awe.. what the fuck lets just call it macross. :(

  • @warhawk009 The series has ALWAYS had giant aliens and singing girlfriends and weird shit happening. The premises have never been all that realistic.XD You just gotta embrace it, or this show is just not for you. No need to troll.

  • @yanipheonu Giant aliens yes. But they weren't going around and fighting the Zerg with giant robots. I have beef with Macross 7 as well but this is pretty bad. Singing girlfriends yes, but the music never had magical powers. The only reason music was used in battle in the original macross was because the zentreadi knew nothing of culture and it confused them. not magic. they took the music concept and fucked it up. The original macross was far more believable than this kiddy crap.

  • @warhawk009 Kay. I could argue for hours about how it's all pretty well explained but honestly: If you hate it so much, why are you even watching and commenting on a video of it? Just STFU and let other people who enjoy the show actually enjoy it.

  • @yanipheonu I didn't realize how bad it would be first of all. And second of all I have every right to bitch and complain about it as that is one of the reasons for the comments section as well as the like and dislike feature. Like wise you have the right to ignore my posts. So STFU if you don't like my comments don't read them.

  • @warhawk009 oh and I forgot the main pilot is infected too since he banged the blonde on one episode.

  • @Nekito16 LOL Warhawk009 got owned. He must be a Robotech fan. Or else he wouldn't even bother to come in a macross video and comment.

  • @yepdrinker I started watching Macross Frontier a few weeks ago and finally got around to finishing it It’s unfortunate because after watching Super Dimensional Fortress Macross a few months ago (which I enjoyed), I was looking forward to Macross Frontier at first . as they set up the premise and introduced the characters but there wasn’t any real meat to the story. As the series went on, the fluff only became more obvious and more unbearable.

  • @yepdrinker So, what did I not like so much? Well, first of all, the Vajra aren’t weren’t nearly as interesting a foe as the Zentradi from the original series. Plus, we didn’t really learn anything about them until more than half way through the series and even then it was light info. Most of the time, they were just regarded as mindless drones, not very exciting…

  • @yepdrinker Also, I didn’t like the way much of the series focused more on a love triangle than a real political struggle, war, and fighting for survival. The original series provided much more food for thought, I think. Sure, there was a love triangle there too, but it was part of a more epic story overall.

    And the whole singing to defeat the enemy thing seemed a bit of a stretch.

  • Comment removed

  • @yepdrinker sound like you're the fool like most robotech advocate that think it some hard military scifi shit. Well it not, and it never tried to be. Cause why else did Minmay song's defeat the Zents? Surely you didn't understand that from watching SDF. So much for your food for thought. It fine that you like to see more political side to macross, but Macross is macross define by MUSIC, LOVE, and Mecha as it central theme. If yoiu're gonna complain about singing and how it unrealistic.

  • @yepdrinker Then you should have realize from the start what you getting into if you had watch SDF. SDF is SDF, Frontier is Frontier, and macross 7 is Macross 7. They all have music and singing as the central theme like love, but they are all different. So for people who don't find singing to stop war a stretch, and like the idea of it being so, is a fool? or because we are young so that why we love this crap as you put it? Please, people like macross for different reason, including you!

  • @warhawk009 fair enough, but if you really did watch SDF, then you would realize why fan dub it as a love story set in a space opera. So you can think what ever you like buddy, I have seen may great old anime, and still like them. But you're points are a bit misguided. Macross frontier is part of Macross, so the show have many homages to the older show? so what? it's not like Gundam seed recycling plots. It's called homage. As for other nitpick, it just nitpick.

    yepdrinker 5 minutes ago

  • @yepdrinker Finally let's me explain my comment that you got owned. Simple because you can't except that it possible,you think you're right, and other people are wrong? So what, some people like the idea that song can stop wars. And this is why I commented that you got owned. Cause it got you mad and I got a response from you too. So despite of your many point which I can't possibly response to all of them. I do say you have some good points. but come off as mad guy, that just like to nitpick.

  • @yepdrinker I am a little upset. I am upset that my favorite series went to fuck. The way macross ended there should not have been any sequels at all. And yeah I might be picking on Frontier because its the latest addition to fuck but it also fucked up the themes of macross. Yes macross has had music and love triangles. and yes it had political undertones later in the series when humans were becoming more familiar with the zentradi.

  • @warhawk009 well, you can't win it all, but you shouldn't be an ass about it to every body else that like it. It's just a different matter of opinion. I admit I don't fancy the triangle in Frontier, but i do like some of the character focus like Shery and Michail. For me Macross is the whole package, and sometime there parts of the package that bit disappointing. Despite that I still love the universe, I like aspect like the ships, battles, and designs. There are always other aspect to enjoy.

  • @yepdrinker but instead of expanding on the original story they decided to take a cluster fuck of ideas and post them all on a white board and shoot them with a shotgun to create a completely nonsensical plot. macross frontier could have a different title and it would make more sense. the singing in macross had way more of a point (which i liked) and it was far more interesting than the half ass explanation of why someone sings to mindless drones in order to use music as a weapon to keep themes.

  • @warhawk009 dude, I'm sorry where were you with macross 7? cause really I'm sorry dude the story in frontier does make sense, even if you want to deny it. every thing is prefectly explained, but you just refuse to except it. This is your prerogative. It's is explained, but it doesn't make it good, but still it's far from nonsensical. You're are blinded by your preset notion of what Macross should be. Just give up man, I suggest you quite macross. Clearly there no point in crying over dislikes.

  • It made more sense in the original Macross against the Zentradi, but the Vajra again don’t seem to be right type of enemy for this to work on. Just feels a bit tacked in in order to keep the musical trait of the series. There were also numerous plot holes and shortcuts in the storytelling. What was with the characters going all tsuntsun between emo/depressed and suddenly determined to fight and “protect” (Yes, the oh-so-original “I fight to protect” reasoning).

  • @yepdrinker The fact that the truth behind Ranka, Vajra, Brera, etc was really only revealed in the last 3-4 episodes seems to indicate that the writers really didn’t have any good plan for the entirety of the show and just decided to string the series all the way along with very little real substance. Really, at least half of the episodes could have been cut and it could have ended the same way. Overall, I found Macross Frontier quite disappointing.

  • @yepdrinker I don’t see how you people thought this series was good. It’s a shame because I wanted to like Macross F. I liked the original Macross quite a bit and was expecting a lot from this series…

    I have made a lot of comparisons to the original series but since Macross Frontier seems to want to copy it so much it only made sense to do so. Some of the characters seemed to be almost carbon copied from characters in the first Macross.

  • @yepdrinker The only reason why you people like this crap is because you are probably too young to have seen the golden age of anime and as a result have really low standards and you seem to hav almost no independent thoughts on story telling. Now after typing a novel of a comment I hope you now understand the flaws and how ridiculous this shovelwear of an anime is. The only one to get owned is you....

  • @warhawk009 well maybe if you took the time to watch and thoroughly understand the series you'd see that ranka and sheryl have a v type infection which allows them to interfere with the vajra communication frequency every time they sing that's why ranka was used as a weapon once and sheryl too. now alto hears sheryl's voice because of the earring she gave him which the material it is made of is supposed to enhance long range space communications as explained by luca once.

  • @warhawk009

    The Terrans have started fighting the Zerg with giant robots (Thor) AND transforming fighter mechs (Viking) with probably more mecha to come in coming expansions. Also as Nekito16 said, their ability to affect the aliens is later explained with the infection. So sir, your comment is now invalid.

  • @Omegamegamanzx Argument is totally valid. you just fail to see how there is no substance to this plot and that the enemies are boring and the main characters moods fluctuate more than gas prices....

  • @Omegamegamanzx And if this is so far in the future from the original macross why the fuck are they still using destroids from BEFORE the SDF-1 was completed? This entire anime was probably written on a napkin at starbucks or over a hamburger from golden arches....

  • @warhawk009

    This is only around 40 years from the original (I have not yet come around to watching the original though) but technology in Macross advances pretty fast. The Destroid was probably used because it still proved effective and was probably updated with modern technology much like how the older VF-17 Nightmare was updated into the VF-17 Nightmare+.

    A real modern day example of this is the F-15 Eagle, first deployed in 1976. Despite being over 30 years old it is still a active unit.

  • @Omegamegamanzx Right, But isn't that what the tomahawks were? Also how can technology advance so fast with in only 40 years if 90% of the earths population is dead? Thats my biggest complaint with every macross sequal. Not just Frontier.

  • @warhawk009

    There's a lot of theories that one could apply to the outburst of technology advance, one of which is called "the technological singularity" which could be supported by the fact that many of the people of Galaxy shown in the show are cyborgs. Even so 90% of Earth's population is dead, humans have expanded all over the galaxy and I'm sure they re-produce quite quick. The technology of the Macross timeline has always been superior to reality's timeline.

  • @Omegamegamanzx understandable and the reason for the advance in technology was the adaption of alien technology into modern human technology. but with in only 40 years and humans being aboard only 1 ship I really doubt that that would be enough time for 50,000 people to all of a sudden grow and colonize planets and build massive space stations. where would they get the man power to construct such colonies? and resources?

  • @warhawk009 There are often "baby boom" after wars, and they got the zentraedi to help repopulate and build, resources can be obtained by sending ships to asteroids or recycling damaged ones.

  • I want to become a space pilot. :)

  • battlestar galactica on crack

  • the first rule of piloting a mech: the louder you scream the better you pilot

  • who sngs this song? is it sheryl?

  • the intro sounds like Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru

  • i prefer VF-25 Armored Alto custom

  • I love how everything in the series is solved by more missles, more songs or bigger macross fighters :)

  • This is my favorite episode in the entire series.

    I could literally shed tears of joy at how breathtaking this entire episode is. I truly felt Macross was finally back in the biggest way possible when I watched it.

  • mocross quater spawn every last enemy on the battle field^^

  • In Macross "Frontier" what is your favorite Valkryie? Go!

    For me, the VF-171 or VF-171 EX can't reallty choose from both cause they're awesome.

  • @LilATL94 VF-24 for me.

  • @LilATL94 VF-25 armored core

  • speaking of it, this song is similar to one of gundam seed destiny's song, the last ending song

  • And that is how SMS does things.

  • I don't think those songs song similar. I have both those cds since they first came out and never once thought they were similar.

  • superb episode!

  • The Macross doing melee. Piloted by a gay helmsman with an afro.

    Strange, but nonetheless AWESOME

  • @TwinSkies and they say "this is why they chose to make a 400 m hull macross" its faster then most other warships of its size, far more ajile, and unlike other macross ships, has gerwalk mode as well as soldier.

  • this anime has EVERYTHING a good mecha anime NEEDS

  • this episode is so epic, it has everything

  • hi .. i'm curious ! i know it was two months ago but i stumbled onto ur conversation with mr sensitive (81kamill) and was wondering what was it about, that seemed to expose his social ineptness ?? or should i say his inability to be a normal human being !! LOL ...

  • @LeoOfDreams Good for you.

    your ugly im busy have a nice day.

    I seriously don't really care anymore

    I'm not mean i am just straight out a honest person who doesn't give a shit about age or really consider treating others with respect that they haven't earned. welcome to reality if you think life has to be made easy for you then you really have no idea how life really works just means you've been hand feed n spoiled to damn much to believe everything is only for you to have it simple.

  • @LeoOfDreams negative drama and all

  • Yea Macross rox

  • Konig Monster still kicking #%& ever since the Unification Wars! Get some!

  • damn that is one fast macross......the old one can barely even move in the humanoid mode

  • yeah its freakin movin but considering they've had 76 yrs to develope their tech since the first ship crashed on earth and was converted into the sdf-1 i would hope they had advanced some

  • Smaller = faster.

  • I love macross. Favourite anime of all time.

  • The whole series is a gaint MV, with a story related to Marcross

  • @jsjw2 this is part of Macross (this kicks roboshit"s ass)

  • @legonakonow hey thats not fair cause for its time robotech was the best in both story music and animation for a full blown mecha series and this is the same damned storyline its just years later along it

  • @yamivalkri in a way your right but robocrap was actully copying the macross saga like SDF macross SDF macross 2 and SDF macross do you remember love

  • I'm not so crazy about Sheryl with dark hair, but I love this song~

  • VOTOMS beats all of them. Theres nothing like watching a guy piloting a pile of junk and blowing up half an army with it. That takes skill.

  • its similar to Gundam's song because the singer (May'n) sings the opening for gundam, AND this song . as well as the anime Shangri - La . all the songs in animes that May'n sings in are always the good ones (x in my opinion .

  • my bad sorry fate

  • danteaddai it's not a macross. It's a VF a.k.a. Variable Fighter. Keep in mind danteaddai it's mainly the pilot's skill and his ability in a dogfight. True a gundam has a ton of firepower, technology and yes..armor. But what's the point of not hitting your target? And what's is the point of dogfighting with all of that armor & weapons in place. I may be wrong but VF is best at a dogfight in my opinion. I do like gundam too but Macross ftw. But gundam SD was a disgrace.

  • VF= VF 25 meaning Valkyrie 25 Its not the skill its the plane itself btw.

  • @o0Fate0o VF actually means Variable Fighter not Valkyrie...

  • yh but in a gundam like Turn a skill dosent exist when u can do all the things i said in my previos comment

  • wouldnt u just love sunrise and macross to make an anime together? it would be epic mobile suit with amazing music.

  • sunrise ??

  • Yeah a VF-25S would whoop a gundam's #%& all day. And also a VF-25G would snipe a gundam from long range.

  • i agree a gundam wouldnt stand a chance VF-25S

  • Armored Pack has Attack Micro Missile on Leg, Shoulder and Torso totaling to 116(body)+128(leg)=244 Torso M. Missile is for mid range, Leg M. Missile is for close range. Wing's have 30 Anti Armor High-Velocity Missile Missiles 2 Otto/Sentinel 57mm Anti Ship Beam Cannon 4 Attach Parts for 4-8 RMS-1 Anti Ship Class Reaction Missile Defence Built in Array Radar 4 Heat Sinkers(Chaff) Additional Compound Radar(RVF-25 is the only one better) Booster Pack boost Pin Point Barrier
  • as much as i love macross gundam pretty much rape s macross. Turn a gundam by it self would rape i mean how can u beat a gundam the can telport repair it self and has the ultimate attack moonlight butterfly which destroy all tecnology in sight and can reach as far a jupiter

  • so what? one reaction missle and boom bye bye.

  • Comment removed

  • VF-25G vs Cherudim Gundam.

    It totally has to be done. Battle of the snipers. =D

  • Comment removed

  • that would be an epic battle

  • Likewise, Seravee vs Konig Monster. Though I suspect the latter might just win....

  • I think the battle scene in this macross frontier is far better than 00 but maybe they are two different things (since this one is like a complete 3D)

  • Gundam And Macross, both rules. Nuff said.

  • Gundams are a waste..

    The Macross VF series are more agile and faster then the slow Gundams and would run circles around them.

    Many people say the Gundams are stronger then the VF but what good is firepower if you can't hit your target ?

  • so true. I would totally take a VF over a gundam.

  • Also, do not forget to mention how Macross VF are well armed. Valkyries or variable fighters can carries reaction weapons (nuclear weapons based on super dimension fusion principle) and the new valkyries like the VF-25 and the VF-27 have quantum beam, dimension eater gun pod and even dimension eater missiles. Even the strongest mobile suit could not survive such odds.

  • The VF-27 Does have some awesome sliding Manoeuvres to it.

  • I Really love Giant Mechas, Gundam Code Geass and Macross Series, if they continued the franchise on MOSPEADA and Dragonar, Im sure it will also be hit

  • gundam, transformers and robotech = no match for the Macross chronology. But gotta admit that the very old gundam was pretty ok. Gotta love Macross quarter. One of the most badass macross' out there. lol Blast the bastard!

    "REST IN PEACE!"

  • ya i kno, this song was just like gundam seed destinys song. but its nice to hear the macross frontier version

  • i believe that is a burn

  • This song remind me of Gundam Seed Songs ...

  • I think she also sung some Gundam Seed Songs thats why it reminds us

  • can someone please tell me the name of this song??

  • It's called Infinity.

  • VF fighter rules!!!!!

  • The macross series are WAY better than Gundam, in my opinion.:)

  • Gundam mother of "all real robot genres" ?

    Hum, depending on what you mean, you may be wrong. Macross original series (1982) is often said to be the first mecha anime series to have believable mecha animations for their transformations (Valkyrie/Battroïd/Gerwalk mode) unlike '70s mecha anime.

    Aside from that, you're right : Shijo Kawamori is a huge Gundam fan. It makes this all "Gundam VS Macross fans" war even more pointless.

  • hemm..

    Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru

  • O_O your right it does start out like a Gundam song....but I've had my fill of Gundam...I want some Macross =D

  • You don't see macross in the states, thats why i love Macross so much! :3 Plus Alto's hair is pwetty! *-*

  • they are both made by BANDAI that's y they have similarities dumbass!

  • Macross and Gundam does have similarities... Afterall... Both are the grandfather and granmother of most mecha's aside from Voltes V and Daimos and Mazinger and other mecha animes...

  • Yeah... like Michael was a sniper that died like the pilot of Gundam Dynames in Gundam 00. Tieria Erde, the braniac is similiar to that midget pilot. Of course, Alto and Setsuna are related cause they are main characters.

  • this alto dude fights like shinn off of gundam seed destiney OMG this is wat it woulf probly be like if he had savior or just the core splendore period OMG dude LIKE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

  • It's totally plausible that a ship firing thousands of blasts a per second in all directions misses those people.

  • It's the power of the songs dontcha know?

  • They hit the redshirts just fine ;)

  • almost as plausible as a guy being able to control a robot like it was the extension of his own body with foot pedals and leavers or a jet flying in space...... :P

    Great series love it :)

  • Quite simply, this was one of the greatest episodes I've seen in ANY anime. The action is absolutely breathtaking, and the way it flows so well with the music is just amazing.

    This is an outstanding series.

  • The macross frontier fighting scenes are sooo awesome.. Combining awesome CG fighting scenes with awesome japanese music.. It's totally.. Legend, wait for it............ DARY :D

  • Woah! You're right! This is of CG quality fights + music :D

    Awesomeness

    The fighting scenes are comparable to Gundam 00's, maybe even better... Go macross! :D

  • I love this song *-*

    macross cool ;D

  • Can't unsee Arc Gurren-Lagann at 3:14.

  • I meant as in a big base transforming into a mecha.

  • It's always been like that even with the very first Macross back in 1982.

  • Shit. Didn't know that. But then again Macross started waay before I was born, so... yeah.

  • If you can stand the crappy animation (by today's standards), you should go watch it. :D

  • I can go through the first Gundam. Is that good enough?

  • Definitely good enough. Be warned though, there are some scenes where it gets really bad e.g. the Max vs. Milia knife fight.

  • I would Recommend the 1984 Macross Movie, Macross: Do You Remember Love. The animation quality is far better than the original series in 1982 and the movie is an alternate course for the story compared to the original series. I wish they would redo the original Macross with high quality animation. A Next Gen Macross game that includes the VF-1J would be nice too :'( ...must stop typing.....macross addiction.....showing.......

  • Original series with MF animation?

    I think I just jizzed in my pants LOL

  • me too! XD

    The original series would be okay if there was not huge parts that were done in Korea (subcontracts) to make the episodes in time.

    Some episodes (the very important ones), like the first and the 27th have really better animation, but quite a lot of episodes are really ugly... :(

  • Than god i live in a world where an awesome series like this exsist!!! God damn eye-orgasm!!!

  • the beginning sounds like kimi wa boku ni Niteiru
