New Macross (Macross Frontier) - Talkback

[pedroeduardo]

Waaaaitatic, you mean the novelty CRAB also going to have that flaraboyantly gay helsman singing? Interesting.

That said, I just wanted to say that I've finally finished Macross Frontier, and sufficed to say, it was a pretty good series. Yeah it wasn't anything remarkably dynamic, (which I attribute to its status as an anniversary/tribute series what with all the slight noRAB and references to the past), but what it did it did well. Characters were pretty good (Main protagonist's flusteredness and Ranka's rather off-kilter decision making aside), the plot was quite well-played and not only paid tribute to the Macross universe but tied into it well enough to be endearing on its own merits, the animation really well done (with the final battle ranking as perhaps one of the best finales in a robot anime), and the music... just nothing short of amazing.

It isn't really the greatest of series, but it managed to impress a relative Macross newbie like me, that much can be said (only other experience I've had with Macross proper was Plus). While nothing groundbreaking, it's entertaining enough to see the whole way through. Hopefully the movie will help to supplement the Macross mythos in an enriching kind of way.

On a Juu scale, I rate it an 8 out of 10.

See you next deculture.

Just a related story I thought was interesting: the latest Vocaloid character being released later this month, GUMI, is based off the samples of the voice of Nakajima Megumi (who provided Ranka's voice).

Here's the official demo: Blue Butterfly.

I wonder how many different versions of GUMI singing the Nyan Nyan song will pop up on Nico Nico Douga in just a week after the release?

Wow, I really like that Blue Butterfly song.
