Ah, its been a while since I last posted. I have to remind myself to actually do this more. Heh heh. Any ways…

I’ve recently finished Macross Frontier after maybe 6 months of putting it off for other things, like college applications, school work, papers, art, and costumes. I don’t really find myself to enthralled with most anime nowadays and I can rarely find one that I seem to enjoy. To my dismay, the only ones that seem slip through are with “moe moe kyun~” and giant robots. Macross Frontier has the right mix of both in a way.

The music found within the series is one of the major things that made me fall in love with it. Though, having music be a catalyst that causes the end of fighting and battles seems unrealistic, but you have to understand the philosophy of the series, in which song, culture, and love can bring about understanding between all species and people in the universe. Its amazing how one can believe that they can transition from harsh battles and warfare to having the Galactic Nymph or the Super Dimensional Cinderella belt their hearts out in the middle of battles. I really have to praise the series with such wonderful music used in this incarnation of the Macross series. Play the video to hear the mash-up of all my favorite songs. It was actually used in the final episode as well. ^^;

There are spoilers ahead. Do not proceed further if you do not wish to read them.

It amazing how only 2 years ago the creators had the entire story in their hands and yet still released a teaser for episode 1 before releasing the series. Apparently there is one strong parallel I found with Gundam 00. In both series, there lies a 4-man (or main squad) of pilots that have snipers. Both are likeable… hell, even loveable characters. And both suffered horrible deaths, though both linked to someone they love: to defend and as revenge. They were a major force between the pilots, as well as treasured friends.

I never liked Michel much since the start of watching, but towards the end I began to like him even more as they began to flesh out his character. Its a shame that he had to die, but it felt like it would be him or Luca since the start.

The last scene from Episode 20.

Heh, I don’t know what else I have to say about this series, but I just love it to death. I should of finished it sooner. >.<

I still need to pick up a VF-25 Princess Custom now. Hopefully I can find one for cheap at Chicago Comic-Con/Wizard World/Anime Central Aftershock (3 cons in one? Yes.)

DE-CULCHA~!!!
