I just finished watching Macross Frontier and I was just blown away. Not only did they pay homage to the original story a couple of times but the music and story was truly amazing. I was rather surprised at how much I like it. Having watched both the original Macross and Frontier, now I feel like watching all the series in between. When watching the story I sometimes felt that certain emotions that would later begin to gradually change over time. For instace, at the beggining of the series I seriously felt a bit annoyed my Sheryl Nome. But as the story proggressed one could see just how austanding and comprehensible she really was. As for Ranka, I was a fan since the very beggining although it did waver a bit when she was sucked in by that evil women at the end. Thankfully she snapped out of it.

The pilots were really cool. They achieved a really good amount of action and cinematography on the battlefield on this series. Something that could not really be done on the original because of the limitations of technology and animation. I would really like to see a remake of the original series (not the “Do You Remember Love” version though, I didn’t really like it) I bet it would look really good with the abilities we possess at this moment.

I feel like I should do a sketch of Ranka… allright, I’ll put one up tommorrow.

Hope you look forward to it,

First of all I apologize for not putting up a video on Wednesday, it got so late that day that I fell asleep while making it so I never got the chance to upload it. Sorry.

Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, truly a gem among all the anime series I have seen so far. I remember watching it when I was a child. It was truly an amime that really left an impression on my life. Even back then when I was really into Dragon Ball, Macross managed to beat it. The story, the action and the music was just so amazing that I was left craving for more everytime I finished watching an episosde. A couple of days ago I finished watching the whole original series and was reminded why I loved it so much. For those who have watched it in it’s Robotech form, please watch the original version you will not be dissapointed. There is just so much that was cut off in the American version that pretty much changed the whole series from it’s full potential. Despited being rather old it can still hold it’s own in this era (although that shouldnt be too hard considering most anime’s have just becalmed fan service machines with little to no story at all). The original Macross is definitely the best series I have seen from this franchise (although from the little I have seen, Frontier isn’t too bad).

For this video I recommend listening to: “Macross” the original theme song

Hope you enjoy it,
