I'm a big fan of the franchise but I also want it to be good.If you take Macross Frontier and original Macross out,the other series were pretty small so even if they weren't so good,it was a quick watch...

I'll get some episodes and decide for myself,thanks a lot!

At least a love triangle should have a choice at the end. Someone mentioned that he technically has both girls...

Which is f'in bs since the only one he kissed rapid fire was Sheryl. If he does have both girls, then at least he chose and has a complete harem.

Tenchi's an idiot, and always will be. He's got nothin' on Macross F's manly man princess! muahahahah!

I didn't watch all the eps out there, but this is awesum :33
I love Ranka, she's so damn cute <3 I really dislike Sheryl though. Well, it's not the type of character I like in anime, so yeah.

You have to look at these love triangles in a different way. Instead of saying "OMFG he didn't choose what a ****head!?!", try to understand the story first. Macross isn't your typical anime bud.

I don't think its a matter of "liking" both though. Love triangle's in Macross are only resolved when the series ends.
Don't think we have seen the last of Frontier, or even 7.

Going to mention the typo on series. I meant story.

Not particularly. You'll miss the shout-outs and some subtle jokes, but the story stands by itself.

Uh..I'm hoping not cause that's what I did.But anyway the story kinda stands out by itself cause I understood it pretty well despite not seeing any of the other Macross series.

It's kind of like they settled for mediocre this time around.
you must understand that Frontier was meant as little more than a 30th anniversary 'cloage' of all Macross series'. and as such I think they succeeded. Loved the beginning episodes and all of the 'call backs' to the original series, like a group of bridge bunnies (I dunno I seem to recall that...), Nyan Nyan Chinese restaurant (same as Minmei's) and the 'flying away grab my hand' scene gave me goosebumps lol... even though it was more falling up than falling down lol.

lol I watched this a few months ago and you all reminded me how much I hated Ranka lol I just like imagining her living her queen of the bugs life is all :)
