Impressions:

Sorry for this rather late post, I’ll try to keep more up to date with this show in the future. With that said, I must say, I haven’t really seen much this season, so it’s likely that I won’t blog anything apart from this and Code Geass. There’s also Bleach, and some time in the future I hope to resume my D.Gray-man and Naruto blogging. One reason, aside from my busier schedule these days, for my lack of blogging, is my lack of interest in a number of the new shows this season. It’s quite sad but hardly anything is being subbed speedily as well, which puts me off trying to follow them as well.

Anyway, episode 2 of Macross Frontier certainly blew me away, moreso than Code Geass did. I mean, I had partially forgotten what the first episode is like until I watched this…and everything came rushing back. The CG is fairly well done, and the animation looks like it’s from a movie. I also love the micro inspection on the various characters, unlike a series like Gundam 00. It also gives a tremendously nice sci-fi feel to it, and I get Evangelion vibes from watching the show. I just hope that the quality and story remains at an excellent level. I think you’d be able to tell, but for me right now, Macross F > CG R2.

It’s nice to see that Alto isn’t presented as another mecha main character who easily winds up in a mecha, as evidently, he’s not allowed to. Not only that, he throws up after seeing the destruction of the city, signifying a more realistic character than the almighty never-scared-of-anything shounen protagonist. This is probably why I’m a Shinji-supporter, and not a Shinji-hater haha. I always liked him more than his father anyway. But in this case, hopefully I won’t have to hate on a character (Code Geass has Suzaku…). I’m also really interested in the idol/song element in this, partly because the songs are quite good in my opinion.
