Macross Frontier 03

Sniping the targets!!
Pwned
NO U!!

Catfight….
OMG the bitch slap!!
Odds are 2/3 that Ozma will die soon.
Nope, no innuendos here.


Words fail to describe how beautiful this scene is.
A serene Alto is fine too.
Grunts get a burial with full honours.
Aces never die.
Ranka Lee desu~

THOUGHTS
Though not as action packed as the last episode, this episode of Frontier does quite well in the drama department and the characters get a more detailed exposure this time around. It was revealed that Ozma was not Ranka’s real brother and he was actually the pilot who failed to save her family who was attacked by the Vajra. In addition, Ranka has no recollection of that memory due to a mental block. Alto also managed to clear away his doubts about himself thanks to Ranka and has now joined the Skull Squadron as a pilot. Ranka’s singing this episode was absolutely beautiful. If Sheryl’s songs were filled with fire and passion, Ranka’s was full of compassion and motherly warmth. It is also revealed that Ranka will be taking part in the Miss Macross competition. I do hope she would win and end up with Alto.

As an apology for the late post, here you go.Alto dancing to the Nyan Nyan Song.
Mikhail: What are you doing, Alto-hime?

Macross Frontier 02

Missile spamming is still a favorite past time i see.
The X games has got nothing on this.
Thats why you should never go skating.
“Noble Sniper Mikhail in action”
Macross Academy of free floating.
These alien crafts look seriously buggy.
DAMN YOU ALTO!!!
Be my sister. PLEASE.
Mecha Guro
Yandere alert.
Travelling in Style.
This is sooo Moe.
Everybody loves Alto.
This wont end well. Bets on niceboat are 3/1 now.
WE COME IN PEACE. YOU COME IN PIECES.
RANKA is now earned my favor.

The ED for this episode was really good.

Superb episode, loved every moment of it. The quality of the animation especially the mechas are undoubtedly one of the best of CGs in anime.
Best part of the episode IMO was the part where Alto and Ranka are floating in space, that scene combined the serenity of space and a near death experience surprisingly well.
Also, we are given the reason for Alto’s ridiculous good looks in this episode, it is revealed that he is actually the son of a Kabuki theater and thus his good looks and femininity.

The sub i watched this time is by Gattai subs. Though their resolution is higher than AiA subs, I prefer AiA subs because of the subbing of the OP and the ED. Is it really necessary to plaster the names of the staff all over the screen?

This episode of Macross Frontier Featured:
-Near Yuri/siscon/brocon.
-Superb skating scene.
-The Art of Sniping.
-Lost in Space.
-Onii-chan!!!
-Fanservice in the most literal sense of the word.

This Episode of Macross Frontier lacks:
-Absolutely nothing. (i have no complaints)

p.s. Which style of posting is better this one or the one i used for EP 1?

Macross Frontier 01:

Journal Entry: 01

Year: A.D. 2059

Cadet Pilot Saotome Alto (早乙女アルト)

Designation: Miboshi Academy Cadet Squadron

It was a rather mundane day except for the fact that the Galactic songstress Sheryl was going to give a performance for the colonists of Frontier. Personally did not understand why there was a need for such a concert but the people craved for her and so the flight academy was roped in to provide the opening act of her concert. Well, I could certainly have done with some flight practice but I preferred to stay away from the likes of her. Mikhail was being an ass as usual about my looks. I can’t bloody help it if I was born like so!!!





The preparations went off without a hitch. When I was prepping my self in the woods behind the building after the rest of them left for the stage I ran into a rather interesting girl (or rather she ran into me) she somehow managed to get herself lost, run into a sprinkler and got her clothes wet. After helping her dry her clothes and find her way to the stage I rejoined my wing mates back stage and prepared for the concert. Before she left however she asked me to visit her at the place she works and performed the strangest commercial that I swore I would remember till the day I died.


The concert itself was rather boring, as we weren’t allowed to perform to our fullest potential due to so-called safety regulations. Being the ace that I was I couldn’t bear to be bogged down so I broke formation to perform a move of my own. As luck was to have it, my wingman failed me the songstress fell off the stage but luckily I caught her and we managed to create an improvised performance. I had to admit though her reputation as the Galactic Fairy was not undeserved as she kept a façade of professionalism throughout the performance.


Suddenly, the concert was cut short due to an unexpected turn of events that would forever change my life. First, the concert was cancelled and the songstress left. After I gave her a piece of my mind I took flight and surveyed the surrounding area.It was then I saw a vaguely humanoid shaped weapon wrecking havoc on the city. The local defense force was unable to even put a dentin that monstrosity’s chitinous armor as it shrugged off HEAT shells as though they were but stones. After obliterating the defenders the insect-like weapon turned its attention to me and tried to shoot me out of the sky. By sheer skill and a healthy dose of luck I survived a few hits to my pack and landed thanks to the arrival of a VF-25. Sadly the pilot of the VF-25 that came to my aid fared much worse and was crushed by the weapon as he ejected after being attacked in the blind spot above the fighter.




I then heard a terrified scream from nearby and noticed that the “thing” was turning its attention to a civilian. I recognized her as the girl I met before the concert earlier today. She was too gripped by terror to be able to make a run for it. Unable to bear letting anyone else die I took a gamble and got into the cockpit of the abandoned but still functional VF-25, betting that my flight suit would be able to integrate with the cockpit systems. Fortunately my gambit was successful and I managed to get the VF-25 working and fired off a salvo from its gun pod to distract the alien. I gritted my teeth in preparation of the duel to come.

Thoughts
Well, i thought the episode as a whole was really good. My only complaint is that they cut the dogfighting scene in favour of more Sheryl X Alto. (well, near Yuri is good enough for now) Also, Nyan Nyan song is dangerously addictive.

p.s. reason for this being so late was because i was wondering whether shinsen subs was gaoing to sub it then i got tired of waiting and went for AiA subs.

春来た!!!!!

Well comrades, It’s spring now, the turning point where everything is given a fresh lease of life and the chance to make amends (looking at you Gonzo). Let’s now put the winter season on the back burner and now focus on the spring season animes. As usual, the spring season is the time of the year when many otakus suffer from anime overload and severe fatigue due to the large number of animes that are being let loose to prey on our souls. To avoid a serious overdose, I’ve trimmed my watchlist this time around and included only works which I will most probably not regret watching later.

Here is the list.

1) Macross Frontier. Though a Macross newbie I could sense that this will definitely be an epic mecha space opera. 1st episode impressions have been good thus far.

2) Kanokon: For the fanservice and the fox. Also, Mamiko Noto is a seiyuu for this anime.

3) Wagaya no Oinarisama: Yukana is voicing Tenko, the 1000 year old gender bending kitsune.

4) Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2: do I even need to elaborate on this?

5) Tower of Druaga: another Gonzo anime. Even though I absolutely detest Gonzo at the moment, I will make an exception because Gatou Shouji (FMP) is writing the screenplay.

6) Toshokan Sensou: considering the fact that I live in a police state where almost all the media is controlled by the state authorities and freedom of speech is restricted this show would be interesting indeed because war over the freedom of information is something deadly serious to me.

Since spring is a season for new beginnings I would also like to announce that I will be trying my hand at episodic anime blogging for the spring season. Most likely to be blogged: Tower of Druaga, Wagaya no Oinarisama, and Code Geass

EDIT: i’ve decided to review Macross Frontier instead. sorry for my indecisiveness.

P.S. I dropped To-Love-Ru because of fears that it will turn out to be crap like one of my favourite manga which got turned into an anime.
