About Macross Frontier

Here is what Macross Frontier (マクロスF) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, mecha and music anime by Satelight (2008). The setup: After being threatened by extinction at the hands of alien invaders called the Zentradi, humanity undertook the task of guaranteeing itself a future by launching fleets of colony ships into space. On Macross Frontier, one such fleet, high school student Saotome Alto's life is changed forever: the fleet is suddenly attacked by unidentified creatures while he is performing aerial stunts for a concert by the wildly popular.

More of the story: Alto fast stumbles on himself in the cockpit of a new-model fighter struggling to protect Ranka Lee, a young girl he met only hours earlier, from the invaders' swath of destruction. Noting his performance during this incident, the S.M.S. Skull Squadron private military company invites Alto to join their organization, where he continues protecting his friends and Macross Frontier.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Alto Saotome (Yuuichi Nakamura) and Sheryl Nome (Aya Endou) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 25 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Satelight, so the studio's house style defines how Macross Frontier looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. A 7.6/10 score points to a dependable, well-liked series. Voice casting, including Yuuichi Nakamura as Alto Saotome, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2008, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
