The two shows that I’ve been actively watching both ended this weekend, and some endings they were. Huge spoilers to follow, obviously. Macross Frontier’s final episode succeeded on every level, in my book. The medley of the various songs previously used in the series is an appropriate way to wrap up in the finale, and the [...]

マクロスF Episode 25 (end) Macross F Ep. 25 (final) Macross Frontier Anime SPOILER Summary/Synopsis: Macross Quarter arrives to save what's left of the Macross Frontier fleet with Captain Wilder (backed by Cathy) accusing Leon of assassinating the former president and stating that Grace had fooled them all. Leon is arrested as Alto is revealed to be alive and reports that the giant image of Ranka

Epic battles and epic songs! The final episode doesn’t waste time dishing out the awesome, so we begin with Ozma and gang… And once it’s confirmed that Alto’s alive, he gives the orders to fire at the fake-gigantic-Ranka, who then turns out to be… Seems like Leon didn’t destroy it, and now Grace will use it against the [...]

Why am I joining in the episode summary bandwagon? Well, I’m not really joining it. It’s just that compared to the rest of the otaku community my anime knowledge is very weak, and for a very good reason. I have a sizable stash of series, but half of them I dropped midway because I simply [...]

And how! Well all those who forgot that this was still a mecha series and not a harem…certainly did get trolled. The whines, cries, and the most impure tears that make Noe gag of the hated shippers brings joy to every Macross Vet that ever was and ever will be. This is not some harem anime, [...]

Summary: Of course Alto is still alive since he bailed from his crappy plane in the nick of time. Alto reminds everyone that there is no way that Ranka could possibly be that large, and everyone realizes that it is just Battle Galaxy projecting a hologram of Ranka. Macross Quarter defolds to join the [...]

Imagine for a moment that you belong to a race of people who have for thousands of years done nothing but engage in constant warfare. The only art you know of is a weapon’s design, the only music the sound of gunfire. Then one day a man and a woman demonstrate how to kiss… and in [...]

[Insert something related to comics and animation here to make it look like a standard anime blog post] Yeah, yeah I know I should be flipping through my electromagnetics textbook. I know I should be indulging in calculus equations. But hey, it’s the last episode of one of the best Macross series ever made, so what [...]

Having never seen anything of Macross, the arrival of the new Macross Frontier, airing more than twenty-five years after the original Dimensional Fortress Macross, seemed like a good place to check out what the hype about the franchise was all about. What I got was probably the biggest-budgeted series of the year, with grand visuals [...]

Short Synopsis: The final episode: Save Ranka and destroy Grace. Highlights: Pretty, but a bit too keen on creating a perfect ending. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 Ugh, okay, so Alto didn’t die; I should have known. I’ve been too spoiled by series as Ultraviolet and especially Himitsu, where people actually DIE when they’re killed. This episode proved the [...]

The twenty-fifth and final episode of Macross Frontier, “Your Sound”, starts off with the explosion of Alto’s variable fighter. But he’s not dead; unlike some of us, Alto clearly remembers that he’s wearing an EX-gear, which is pretty much a man-sized variable fighter by itself, and ejects safely into space. But before anyone [...]

So, Macross Frontier has finally ended. Or has it? I have no idea. But what I do know is that the final episode is the most blatant 24 minutes of fan service I have ever seen, and that’s including that Gundam SEED Destiny episode where Lacus bares it all. Bravo Satelight! This is a new [...]

Call me clairvoyant. \m/ A Macross Frontier movie was announced during the final episode of the series, and to my amusement, I’m not at all surprised! The plot is really asking to be made into a movie. Plus, I really do think cutting out a lot of the clunky Ranka scenes and Alto scenes and getting [...]

Needless to say, heavy spoilers are ahead. Kurogane says: The ending is so… inconclusive. Worst type of end in my opinion dammit. Urge to kill Kawamori seriously rising. It’s never revealed who Alto chooses and everyone just manages to survive and land happily on the planet. I just feel like my feelings have all been trampled [...]
