So I just binge-watched the ENTIRE Marcross Frontier television series with my brother, who is a Robotech fan. And boy, did we have a blast. Much of the story is in a way, a spiritual re-telling of the first Macross (Robotech) series, but with several added elements that continues the saga that is surprisingly very well written. You really get attached to the three main protagonists and the love traingle that erupts from this is something similar to the fanbase found in the Twilight Saga, but in very good way.
Another that makes great is the soundtrack. Despite being Japanese, the songs are very catchy and easy to listen to. They do repeat themselves occasionally throughout the series, but not to the point of annoyance. It's worth buying the soundtrack if you can get your hands on one.
Have to say, out of all the Macross series I've seen to far, Frontier is the best one. Great story, great characters, great soundtrack. The only thing I hate about it is that it is yet another vicitm of the legal limbo that is Harmony Gold, which means this will never be released officially in English. So the only way to watch Macross Frontier is through fan subs. But it's totally DAMN worth it! 5 out of 5.
