Hello Everyone, I've been visiting Macross World almost weekly for well over 5 years now. It's always a joy to read everyone's opinions and catch up on new info be it on Yamato toys, remastered releases, etc. I still remeber first seeking out this site to find out more information about Macross Zero and have been hooked ever since. Unlike some that discovered Macross from Robotech, I've been under Minmay's spell since '82.
I've never felt compelled to post until tonight!!! I was just able to watch the first episode of Frontier and like you I was completely blown away. I'm really glad we have this community here and my thanks go out to Shawn and Graham. Christmas came alittle early for me this year and the present was more than I could ask for.
Now for some observations:
- Some have asked why the protective dome wasn't closed on the capital ship when the bugs attacked. I caught this freeze frame that seems to suggest that the crew was trying to close it. The computer seems to be saying "Shell Down" and a count down is initiated to do so. My guess is that like Macross's Tranformation Sequence, a certain amount of prep time is needed.
- At the beginning of the clip, a projection showed the immigration ships take off from earth. It actually showed Megaroad 1 and Macross Frontier take off in opposite directions. It seems to suggest that Megaroad 1 headed away fromt the galactic core, however, later on it shows Megaroad 1 doing an about face and head toward the center of the galaxy. Thought it was interesting and might shed some light on what happened to the Hikaru, Minmay and Misa. Too bad the scene cut away before it illustrated where Megaroad disappeared.
- I think Aruto really does have the Camille syndrome, except in his case it's worse. People aren't making fun of him because his name's femine but rather because he looks femine. Ranka said "Pretty" when she first saw Aruto and later told him that she thought he was a girl.
Overall, I'm amazed with the level of detail and quality of the animation. Can't wait for more!

Did anyone notice the credit given to Haruhiko Mikimoto (美樹本晴彦) in the end. The credit makes reference to original character design. I'm thinking either the Bretai and Kamjin look alikes are really clones of the "original" or we may see flashbacks to Global, gasp, maybe Hikaru, Misa, or Minmay in the next episode. On another note, some were wondering why the VF-27 needed fold booster to get to Galia 4. Maybe the internal booster on the VF-27 aren't advanced enough to fold through those fold faults like the new fold booster can.
