Looks like a mini version of a Macross class vessel, maybe 1/3 or 1/4 size of the original SDF1, and it seems to be already configured in some sort of battle mode, with the 'legs' pointing back.

Hey this is very off topic, but for any of the mac users, what torrent client do yall use? I am getting tired of the episodes taking up to 2 days to download.

I use Azureus...I've been downloading the episode for a little over half an hour, and I'm at 45%.

Uhm Gugaga, Maybe you should rename your NANASE MATSUURA FAN CLUB to NANASE MATSUURA SUPPORT TEAM. It looks like she might need it in a couple of years.

;):p

Nah, anime boobs don't sag, they defy gravity FO'EVAH!!!! :D

Awesome show. No dogfight scenes but we get to see more of the three lead roles, some character development esp Ranka's singing.

What I gathered from the raw:

- Just as was often hypothesized, the Vajra are attracted by music.

- Sheryl is clearly no stranger to, uh, a certain class of devices related to massage machines.

- Alto is into girls who are extremely hyperactive. Apparently, size doesn't matter for him, countering my previous theory of his preferences.

- The war between Ranka and Sheryl has officially begun, and we can expect to see blood in the future.

- There was a big Dynamite 7 feel to the singing scene in this episode.

That SMS carrier is definitely the Macross Quarter aka Macross 25 mentioned in the manga and other published material.

The Zentradi mall is named "Folmo". Ring a bell?

Wow! More fan service in the form of vib...I mean cellphones. :p

The red lobster is definitely "musically" attracted. The description makes it sounds like a valkyrie except it is biological instead of mechanical. Leon mentioned it could be a bio weapon of some sort.

I definitely like Ranka's rendition of "What about My Star?".

Cat fights between Ranka and Sheryl in the future? Definite good stuff!

Zentradi lingerie! Can't beat that!

The Zentradi Enka Singer! Deculture!

Seems like the anime has caught up with the manga. From the preview, the SMS is scrambling to M-Galaxy.

I hereby name the farm animals "Hippocows"! Scenes from the mall suggests to me that they supply milk as well. The soft cream Michel and Ranka is having could be from them.

M-Frontier should be named M-San Francisco! It's too similar!

The Farewell Concert next week should be great stuff. More mecha pr0n please!

Sheryl seems impressed with the forests and oceans. Doesn't M-Galaxy has the same thing? From what I get from her, it seems there are no full sized Zentradi on board. I hope when the subs are out I'll get a clear picture.

Now I've seen everything...Zentradi Farmers!

That damaged M-Galaxy fighter looks like a souped-up VF-4.

I F

RI

CKIN' LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

SHERYL

QUOTES

MINMAY!

『あたしと一緒じゃ、いや？』And the voice actress said it EXACTLY the way Mari said it in DYRL.

Exsedol has a mall named after him!

Sheryl's actually FUN! (but was she orgasming against his cell phone...? Weeeeiiiird...)

WE FINALLY SEE MISTER HABILLER/VILLER/BILRA/HAPPYRULER!!!

And, yeah...I think it's no longer a stretch to say that the Vajra are attracted to Ranka's voice. Was that why Ozma was angry at her for joining the Miss Macross Contest?

They say the Vajra are "living weapons" and everybody's shocked...? Dude, we figured that out MONTHS ago! And if they can vaporize a Vajra in captivity that quickly and easily, why can't they do that same out in space?

Um...hippos? Cows? Whatever they are, you can milk 'em...

Sheryl said that everyone on Macross Galaxy is a miclone...not that it looks like that matters anymore, judging from the ending..."Bye Bye Sheryl"...? Looks more like "Bye Bye Macross Galaxy."

There was more, but I forgot...except that I want to live on Island 1...not only is it very lovely and hip, it's got San Francisco's oldest smoke shop!

Whew! I'm a-gonna go watch it agin. Yee-haw, pardners.

Attracted may be the wrong word. It may control them, it may drive them mad. Something along the lines of the emulators in MacII. And its not just Ranka, its Sheryl, too.

And I didn't catch anything about them vaporizing the Varja. And even if they did, I don't see any issue with it. Its shooting fish in a barrel, it had no place to maneuver in that tube.

1. True, it may not be "attracted," but I think it's definitely something to do with singing. I'm not sure it has anything to do with Sheryl, though...how do you figure?

2. I'll watch it again, but it seemed to me that Leon sent the walls down around the tube, and then the Vajra vanished. I thought they vaporized it, but I may just be stupid...

It looks to me though that the music/singing energizes or some how revitalizes them. The dead vajra could even get resurrected...

and yeah, it looked to me like Leon vaporized the vajra. That's one kill for Leon :blink:

and Zentradi stuff are much more expensive huh? more materials needed... :p

that's why they need to farm those huge zent hippo-cows = more milk to pay for their expenses... :p

Ranka's song RULED!!

:lol: This show is NOT a disappointment, in the least bit. I'm eagerly awaiting a full OST/song CD for Frontier. The moment the shoppers started clapping to the song, was a really powerful scene which added a lot. It's a great thing Ranka (may) go more into the "rock-pop" genre, as opposed to Sheryl who is more pop-electronic.

Also.. What's with the recon ship? Something is telling me we might hear something about the Megaroad-1, but I know all about SK not wanting to go there, so there goes my hopes.

:p

I agree with the idea of Ozma not wanting Ranka to sing, as it seems to have a strong positive effect on the Vajra. Her voice seems to be the only one to cause this, not Sheryl's.

The animation is great in this episode. Maybe it profited from lack of action, although I think chara animation in episode 4 was done by two teams, the more fluid but unpolished one in charge of Ranka's contest.

Even though the joy of someone who doesn't understand the language is reduced, this episode still feel better than former ones. My gripes are only maybe an excess of overall slightly sexual situations (I am counting here even things like the accidental breast-grabbing in ep. 02).

(By the way, I like Klein Klan, only Luca bothers me because he looks too young: I originally thought he was only Michel's RIO)

Although I bet there will be references in all episodes (ie all titles are in English like in the original TV series), in this episode all the situations were new (or so my memory tells me). This shows how Frontier can be good even on its own.

Also, I am enjoying the character of Sheryl. She is both kind and defiant, feels very real. And because of this I can't help but feeling sorry for Ranka :( I hope they will be both happy by the end of Frontier and that only Leon will get the shaft ;)

They attacked during her concert in episode 1. Yeah, I know they showed up just before it started, but she had to warm up her voice before hand. Hell, its not just Ranka or Sheryl. They attacked the Galaxy fleet with neither of them there. From the sound of things, they've attacked other fleets as well (and not just the 117th Research fleet).

Having the Varja attack just because of Ranka just doesn't make any sense. It doesn't explain any of the other attacks.

That's not a recon ship. Its a fighter that escaped the Varja assault on the Galaxy fleet. He folded to the Frontier to try and get help.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Leon ordered some Lobster Thermidore and got 2,000 Kg of it... now all he needs is some Zentraedi-sized lemons and butter.

What I'd give to be Alto's celfone in that locker scene.

Who'd have thought an episode without any mecha-porn would be so fun and interesting.

Imagine all the upskirt-shots you'd get if you were a Microne walking in the Zentraedi sector, It would be too easy it would stop being fun.

Did Sheryl suddenly come up with a song and want to write it down? A giant-sized panty being the best thing to write it on.

If they keep this up, M:F may have the best Macross series soundtrack even surpassing the original *gasp!* That new Sheryl song was cool too.

I suddenly have the urge to paint my celphone black and have that skull squadron insignia, Ozma's is frikin cool.

I suddenly want to visit San Fran... brilliant! Took until this episode to figure it out when all the hints were there from the start what with the cable-cars, suspension bridge, observatory and rolling hills.

Michael and Ranka hanging out... awesome

Alto can't take a spicy chili-dog.

The prospective Ranka-promoter reminds me of that Roving Toy-store owner from the original series.

Yeah, i don't think its ONLY Ranka's singing. My guess is that Sheryl and other singers (if any) could've similar effects too.

Which makes me think that the Vajra must've attacked the 117th Research fleet for similar reason - either Ranka singing (at age 4?) or her mum singing the Aimo song (to explain Ranka's memory of the song) just before the attack?

That's not a recon ship. Its a fighter that escaped the Varja assault on the Galaxy fleet. He folded to the Frontier to try and get help.

Ya. but why couldnt M-Galaxy contact M-Frontier directly? Too sudden?

:wacko:

The only excuse i can think of is that the fighter was coincidently scouting when the M-Galaxy was destroyed, but its quite unbelievable for it to carry a fold-drive on normal scouting missions...

EDIT: oops forgot to spoiler tag it sorry :p

In reality, San Francisco is 10% sunny, 40% very cloudy, 40% in the shadows of the tall buildings, and 10% tourist district. I wouldn't reccomend spending more than three days, tops, on an SF trip, unless you also want to check out the tomb-like bank buildings and hit up every bar, cafe and club.

Just watched it, some comments:

- Dressing locker scene, what the hell are they thinking (the producers) definitely R18.

- It appears Cathy still want Ozma back.

- A real Zentraedi settlement, I wonder if they make kids in " a cultured" way.

- Is that guy running toward Ranka in the end is from Vector company?

- SMS Battleship, looks like a bastard child between Macross Cannon and New Macross Class.

- New class of fighter yay, kinda like VF-2SS for me, a homage to Mac II?.

Watched the ep a 2nd time... it seems that Sheryl was pulling a quick one on Alto, She noticed first Alto's dog-tag and needed something to extort him to go along with her for the day so she feinted that arousal scene with the celphone to snatch Alto's necklace. Ah women, so conniving yet so brilliant.

Really liking Sheryl's character development, She's a Diva and yet she's still down to earth when away from the public eye and yet she's still a strong take charge person when the sh!t hits the fan.

Oh and Mr. Habiler is Aeola Shehenberg! Celestial Being ftw! :D

1. Yeah...watched it again...He DID vaporize the Vajra, didn't he?

2. Technically, it's not a "new" Sheryl song...it's the one she was singing when they shut down the concert in episode 1 (I think Ranka sings it better than Sheryl does, however...and suddenly, the track on O.S.T. 1 called "What 'Bout My Star @Folmo" makes a LOT more sense...

2. Well...it's not ALL San Fran...there's a lot of the hipper parts of Tokyo thrown in as well.

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. They were living a "cultured" way in every other aspect, so my guess is, yes, they probably make kids the old fashioned way.

I loved this episode. I always enjoy seeing good character development. Plus, it was great seeing full-sized Zentraedi living normal lives for the first time. I really liked they way that the Zentraedi settlement also had facilities for humans. The whole setting nicely showed humans and Zentraedi co-existing in a peaceful setting.
