Macross Frontier is an action/romance/mecha/musical anime, the story revolving around 3 characters, Alto, Sheryl and Ranka. Each of them has really different background. Alto is a pretty boy who came from from a famous Kabuki performing family and himself was quite a famous one too. However he did not like it and his dream was to fly in the sky. Sheryl is a super famous singer across the galaxy, she is a strong willed girl who never gives up. Ranka is an ordinary girl who simply loves Sheryl and enjoys singing also.
(wtf at the pizza hut logo lol)
Humanity is constantly under attack from these alien insects called Vajra. Humans defend themselves by piloting jets which can transform into robots. In order to prove he will not act, Alto becomes a pilot. He saves Ranka or Sheryl at various times and this creates feelings between them.
From the introduction given above, you can see how this anime falls into the genres I mentioned. The first thing you know when watching this is that a lot of songs has been used during the anime, well I mean 2 of the main characters are singers. Various songs sung by Ranka and Sheryl were used during fighting scenes or performance scenes. The thing I like the most is that they would have different endings most of the time. They varied it to suit the story, like a sad song when the episode ends in sadness or an exciting song when the episode was an epic battle. Since this anime was only came out 2 years ago, the drawings are awesome, it's very clean and stylish.
The story is kinda confusing at the start but the general idea is shown clearly. The romance, comedy has been laid out and its enjoyable to watch. There are some real funny wtf moments and the songs are always nice to listen to. The entire plot is pretty good I reckon, better than Eureka 7's. But like Eureka 7, although it is a mecha anime, it is more focused on story besides the robots. In Macross Frontier, it shows the robots action scenes but they're not the important part of the story, the romance is. However this does not mean it is a girl's romantic anime, I recommend this anime because there is plenty of action, nice drawings and music and a good story.
