Macross Frontier	comment	The third full series entry in the popular Macross franchise, which aired in Japan from April 3, 2008 to September 24, 2008. The series began airing during Macross' 25th anniversary.The story is set in 2059 aboard (and in the space surrounding) the titular Macross Frontier, one of the many colonization fleets heading from Earth towards the centre of the galaxy in search of a new home to settle. However, Frontier's mission is suddenly disrupted when it comes under attack from a bug-like alien race known as the "Vajra".There are three main characters: Alto Saotome, an ex-kabuki actor turned pilot who feels oppressed by the domed skies of Macross Frontier but also an obligation to protect them; Ranka Lee, a spunky young girl with a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder and a dream of becoming an Idol Singer; and Sheryl Nome, a popular and headstrong Idol Singer from the neighbouring Macross Galaxy fleet who is known as "The Galactic Fairy".The stories of these three intertwine amist the Vajra attacks on the Macross Frontier, slowly revealing dark conspiracies that seem destined to determine which direction mankind will move forward into the stars.Frontier proved enormously popular on release — its Blu-ray release was the single best selling HD release in the entire Japanese marketplace in 2008, and one of its soundtracks sold as many copies in its first week as the first Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtrack, breaking a decade-old record. It was quite handily the most successful entry in the franchise since the original show, and this enormous popularity would spawn a huge amount of ancillary merch as time went on, including...A movie version, which was announced at the airing of the last episode of the series. It was initially expected that it would largely be a clip show of the series with some new scenes, similar to Macross Plus, but as the project developed it eventually became more of an Alternate Continuity retelling that was split into two movies. The first, The False Songstress, was released in November 2009 and covers the range of episodes 1-7 in the series, including numerous new and altered scenes as well as several new songs. Some scenes were altered quite drastically — for instance, Sheryl Nome's fall during her first concert in episode one was caused by Alto accidentally knocking her off during a stunt, while in The Movie she jumps off the stage by her own free will. The second movie, The Wings of Farewell, was released on February 26, 2011 which resolves the Love Triangle that has hounded the show since the first episode.Oh, and they also made the battles even more awesome.The two movies also finally shattered Macross's infamous No Export for You status for anything that was not the original series, Macross II or Macross Plus when they were screened in United States theaters in June of 2022 (False Songstress on June 16th, and Wings of Farewell on the 30th).With the release of the TV series, several PSP and PS3 games were released consisting of Ace, Ultimate and Triangle Frontier. Trial and Last Frontier were bundled with the two movies when they released to the public, and a PS3 crossover game (done in the style of the PSP games), Macross 30: The Voice that Connects the Galaxy was released in February 2013. A few mangas/light novels/drama CDs were also released, contributing to the storyline of the show.The Macross 7 crossover movie, Macross FB7: Listen to My Song!, premiered October 20, 2012 and is set in the middle of the TV series.A theatrical short, Macross Frontier Short Film: The Labyrinth of Time, premiered on October 8, 2021 alongside the second Macross Delta movie, Macross Δ: Absolute Live!!!!!!Please contribute to the Character Sheet!Note: Refrain from calling Word of God in this article unless you can provide confirmation, as a number of "interviews" were actually fakes orchestrated by a formerly respected person in the Macross Community. More information can be found here and here For a general overview of the fake interviews go on the Trivia page.

Macross Frontier / int_294ed981	type	Bilingual Bonus
Macross Frontier / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: Nearly everything written down in the show is written in English (despite the fact that the franchise is eternally locked in No Export for You past Macross Plus), though it's, of course, Japanese in dialog. Sheryl's mirror message to Grace in Episode 2 is written in French. One or two lines are actually in English. Looking closely at the many English-language computer readouts shows them to be bulk text copied and pasted from random sources such as Adobe End User License Agreements and other such equally 'interesting' sources. This is all to uphold the Macross tradition that the characters actually are primarily speaking English, and that it's only performed in Japanese for the convenience of the audience. Language in Macross is dependent on location. Frontier spoke a mix of English and Chinese. Sheryl & Grace spoke French. Member races within the NUN, such as the Zolan have their own language. The lingua-franca of Macross however, is actually Zentran. Why? Because by the end of Space War I, 'cultured' Zentran remained the numerically dominant group (8 million Zentradi to 900,000 humans, with the latter speaking different languages and spread all over). Interactions with other, sometimes 'non-cultured' Zentradi groups occur more frequently. Moreover, as a simpler language to learn, it is suitable for quick & efficient communication between different races. Not to mention its relevance to protoculture aids in study of the latter's legacies & artifacts.

There's Alto and his "Princess" callsign/nickname, and there's also a conversation between Klan and Mikhail in which Mikhail points out "If we ever became romantically involved, I'd probably be arrested for pedophilia.", which netted him a slap, as Klan slapped the head of his Battroid so hard he got bashed around in the cockpit. Even later on, Ozma nearly gets killed in the exact same way as Roy Focker once did, and the camera then cuts to the hospital with Michael mentioning that it'd be tragic if Ozma had actually died. Later on, Alto one of Alto's wingman gives him some light-hearted grief over Sheryl being his girlfriend. His other wingman reminds him of the Valkyrie Pilots' Curse: trashtalking about your bro's girlfriend gets you killed. Sure enough, it happens.

A hilarious example is when Leon looks over some background papers, one of a random nobody, and one of Ranka Lee. Ranka's is brutally engrished as if someone had written it in Japanese and then used Google Translate for expediency and cost, while the other guy's is a copy and pasted perfect English Shout-Out to jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie. There's one in the start where the pilot of the starliner that Sheryl is riding in and Frontier control are talking in heavily accented enlish. Counts as Shown Their Work since air control chatter is in English in real life.

Macross Frontier / int_2f50c5bf	comment	Theme Music Power-Up: Omnipresent. Whenever someone starts singing, expect Awesomeness. Works for both sides by the end, thanks to Ranka's link to the Vajra hive network. Then she joins up with Sheryl to power Alto by singing a medly of pretty much every major song sung by either Rankan or Sheryl in the series called, amusingly enough, Nyan-Nyan Service Medley. Deculture indeed! Mercilessly subverted in episode 14: Sheryl tries to fight the Vajra in a Variable Fighter, and her theme music (Sagittarius 9 PM) kicks in... only to fade out as Sheryl is hit and forced to eject literally five seconds later. Basically this is a sort of expected Deconstruction: since here music really can power up your side, a an off-show power-up just won't cut it.

Oh, and the Love Triangle omnipresent in the series is never resolved. Serial Escalation: The Movies. Oh Sweet Buddha, the movies take every thing from the series and make it more epic.

Macross Frontier / int_522811b8	comment	Falling into the Cockpit: Deconstructed; here it's a bit more like a willing leap, and it's because Alto was in the area that the VF-25's pilot got killed in the first place. Also, he's hardly inexperienced; he's been training to fly for a couple of years and is second in his class after Michel, so he did have a pretty good idea of what he was doing; Ozma and Michel even note that he's pretty good for somebody who just jumped into the cockpit. Afterwards, when he was brought to the SMS base to explain what happened that led to Gilliam's death and he demanded to be given a Valkyrie when a scramble order was issued, Ozma socked him in the face and had him thrown out; it's only afterwards that Ozma offers him a chance to prove himself, and that involves Training from Hell and having to go toe-to-toe with one of SMS' best pilots before he is considered for pilot duty. It's also shown that the EX-Gear and the VF-25 have identical controls, to the point where the military EX-Gear actually unfolds and becomes the pilot seat, pedals, and control sticks of the Valkyrie. This is shown when Alto jumps into the cockpit and his civilian EX-Gear slots right into place. Utterly mocked when Sheryl tries the same thing.

It actually still ends up being a badass plane objectively, but even Alto complains that it's a jalopy. But from the perspective of the NUNS pilots...played straight, as the basic VF-171 had become useless against the Vajra. Alto gets a more traditional one in The Wings of Goodbye when he trades up from the VF-25 to the new YF-29, which outperforms even the VF-27(which is stated to be so high-spec that it requires a cyborg pilot).

All at once her career is forgotten, Grace (who for all intents and purposes raised her) gleefully betrays her, rips into her, and then tells her she's going to die (because Grace intentionally infected her with the V-type virus years ago). Sheryl later in the episode has it confirmed: Grace wasn't making it up, she really is going to die. The character is never quite the same afterward, but she was made a better person for it in later episodes, after she recovers from the wham.

Macross Frontier / int_89a17726	comment	Spell My Name with an S: Klan Klein? Klein Klan? Klan Klan, Klein Klein? Kuran Kuran, DURAN DURAN? While official sources eventually came down conclusively with Klan Klan, it was a sore spot with quite a number of fans during the show's long period out in the Anglophone wilderness, especially when originally airing (and when one official magazine rendered it as Clan Clang). As does "Mike", whose name has been spelled (and pronounced in-series) at least three different ways on this page alone: Mikhail (Russian), Michel (French), Michael (English spelling in-universe). It's usually pronounced closest to the first (to Anglophone ears), but the official spelling in the movie releases is Michael. Sheryl Nome suffers a different version of this. While the fandom knows what her name is, official sources are known for misspelling it. The "Lion" opening title sequence erroneously writes her name as "Sheryl Noam". Some early artwork also had a habit of writing her first name as Cheryl, taking the trope to its direct equivalent. Her last name in that opening sequence was eventually fixed in the Blu-Ray release, although the album art shown very briefly in episode 18 is still misspelled. The name of the insect-alike aliens is inconsistent between works; "Vajra" in the TV anime, "Vajura" in the later two games of the trilogy, and "Bajura" in Macross Ace Frontier and The Wings of Goodbye. The official subtitles for the movies came down very conclusively with "Vajra".

Macross Frontier / int_8e20979	type	Wham Episode
Macross Frontier / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Episode 13 is perhaps the first major wham of the series, being mostly notable because it definitively reveals the Big Bad. In addition, the episode ends with Grace (aforementioned Big Bad, though we had some inklings before) destroying a planet with a bomb branded by LAI, which she stays behind to detonate, letting herself be consumed in the blast (this was before we realized that she could download into a new body). Furthermore, Ranka has been kidnapped by the Vajra, who turn out to have a huge fleet including several of the type of carrier that gave them huge trouble in episode 7, and Alto is about to be swallowed up by the death blast of the previously mentioned planet. Episode 18 represents a more personal wham episode for Sheryl. All at once her career is forgotten, Grace (who for all intents and purposes raised her) gleefully betrays her, rips into her, and then tells her she's going to die (because Grace intentionally infected her with the V-type virus years ago). Sheryl later in the episode has it confirmed: Grace wasn't making it up, she really is going to die. The character is never quite the same afterward, but she was made a better person for it in later episodes, after she recovers from the wham. Episode 20 broke the needle because the HSQ hasn't invented numbers for that kind of episode yet. Sweet loving Jesus Christ. Episode 20 could also count as Mood Whiplash given how incredibly grim the situation is now. Practically everyone is bereaved of a loved one at this point and it seems impossible for the show to have any of its old lighthearted, optimistic tone anymore.

Macross Frontier / int_90965cc7	comment	Hive Mind: Each Vajra hive is effectively a single being composed of uncounted thousands or millions of drones and a Hive Queen. Grace O'Connor's eventual plan is to turn humanity into one of these, by taking them over using the Vajra as soldiers, then instituting mandatory cybernetics implantation, with herself at the top. The Galaxy conspiracy she is a member of appears to be one already. Also, unlike most Hive Minds, they are more akin to true insects in that they actually do have individual minds, but are in constant communication with each other and the Queen. As a result, they don't really get individuality.

Ohgotwai, the Zentradi commander in ep. 12, looks nearly identical to Breetai Kridanik and stands on a bridge with the same design with a shorter, slightly deformed advisor. Tehmzin, the rebel leader, is also suspiciously similar to Kwamzin Kravshera. This might be justified by the free use of cloning among Zentradi, who could just use the same genetic pattern, though. Frontier also continues the running gag of all Zentraedi being raging otaku, most notably the owner of the SMS, an otaku obsessed with model trains and lost pop star Lynn Minmei Ozma is a devout fan of Fire Bomber. In episode 2, while driving Alto to the SMS hangar, "Totsugeki Love Heart" can be heard playing on his stereo. In episode 7, Ozma tells the others to use the formation "Planet Dance." In the finale, he orders them to use formation "Totsugeki Love Heart!" Episode 17 has "My Soul For You" playing in the background as Ozma recollects his first year living with Ranka. Sheryl likes to quote Basara's Catchphrase "Listen to my song!" when she gets into serious Idol Singer mode. She modifies it using the more appropriate "atashi" than Basara's "ore," though. It doesn't end there in the manga it is explained that Alto's father knew Isamu in the past. When Luca unleashes his Ghost AIF-7S's against Grace's Ghost V-9's, he calls them something along the lines of "the terror of Macross City." In episode 5, Ranka tosses a number of items at Ozma during an argument; one of those happens to be a Minmay doll. The series aired on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Let's see now... Frontier is the 25th colonization fleet Earth sent out, Ranka is one-quarter Zentradi (1/4 = 25%), we have Macross Quarter (same as before), the series has 25 episodes, it aired at 1:25 AM on Friday (25:25 Thursday, according to how the Japanese write their TV guides), the main Mecha in the series is the VF-25 Messiah... the writers really went to town with the anniversary Shout Outs. The Macross Attack is the Daedalus Attack/Maneuver with less dakka. Blink and you'll miss this one: when Leon is talking to an unknown informant in the 'Macross Zero movie shooting episode, the Hydra is said to have come from a certain planet called Eden. Speaking of Macross Zero, Sheryl Nome. She is in fact Mao's Granddaughter According to Kawamori, the VF-25's reporting name, "Messiah", comes from Lynn Minmay's theme song for the "Shao Pai Long" movie. In the first movie, Klan and Mikhail use the "MM Jenius" formation. The whole "Love Bomber" sequence in the second movie consists of Klan, Canaria, and Michael dressing up as Fire Bomber for Ranka's concert on Alcatraz. The hand gestures used to remote-control the VFs are based on the ones Isamu used to visualize his flight in Macross Plus. Speaking of Macross Plus, in the Wings of Goodbye film, there is a brief cameo of a VF-19 joining the final battle, with its pilot heavily implied to be none other than the infamous Isamu Dyson himself. Ranka works for the "Nyan-Nyan" noodle shop. The original, of course, was owned by Lynn Minmay's aunt and uncle, and was a frequent hangout of the cast of the original series..

Supplemental materials reveal that humanity made liberal use of Protoculture cloning technology to restore their numbers/populate their colony fleets. The practice was discontinued when it was discovered that the children of two clones had a higher risk of birth defects, but by that time the population had recovered enough that most characters can be assumed to be 100% human unless otherwise noted by physical cues or dialogue.

The Ghost V-9s especially, as they don't even look like they have mass let alone suffer from atmospheric friction, leading to some interesting theories as to why that is. Weirdly enough, Episode 13 appears to actually invert the trope. Brera's VF-27 dodges Alto's gun burst sideways in an atmosphere.

It's known as "V-Type" because it originated from the Vajra (who are symbiotes with the bacterium). Sheryl has this disease. Later it is revealed that Ranka also has the disease, but since the disease was present when she was born it isn't fatal... indeed, she's attained symbiosis with it.

In at least one instance in The Wings of Goodbye, it has both - Sheryl is painted on one side, Ranka on the other. Ozma's VF-25 has the traditional skull of Skull Squadron painted on his Valkyrie (and his car). Alto's Mauve Shirt wingman he acquires in Episode 23 is a huge Sheryl Nome fanboy, and has her painted on his VF-171EX. The VF Air Show has a full dose of Type 3, with two Valkyries featuring full body paint jobs, one of Ranka and one of Sheryl (merchandising does this in several other versions as well for the inevitable scale model Vakyries).

Macross Frontier / int_fc7c4f92	comment	Canon Immigrant: The VB-6 König Monster first appeared in the Playstation game Macross Digital Mision VF-X2. Macross Frontier is the first animated Macross series in which it has appeared - see above link for it in action. Fan theory holds that it got in due to its awesome, gigantic toy. Macross VF-X2 PS1 Game protagonist Aegis Focker appears in the Macross Frontier Light Novel as a Colonel. Also Macross 13 Earth defense fleet commanded by Lt. Gen. Kim Kabirov in the Macross Frontier novelization's depiction of the battle over Earth. Macross 11, only mentioned in Macross Dynamite 7 and Macross English Anticipation manga, also appears.

Macross Frontier / int_fdeed2aa	type	Old-School Dogfight
Macross Frontier / int_fdeed2aa	comment	Old-School Dogfight: While clearly very aware of space and its properties in a lot of the technical specifications (such as Super Packs, designed for space and generally useless in an atmosphere due to all the drag it adds). The only fighters that ever behave as if they're really in space are the Ghost V-9s and occasionally Brera's VF-27 Lucifer, both of which generally kicks everyone else's ass. The increased maneuvering is explained as being able to tolerate higher G-Forces. The Ghost V-9s especially, as they don't even look like they have mass let alone suffer from atmospheric friction, leading to some interesting theories as to why that is. Weirdly enough, Episode 13 appears to actually invert the trope. Brera's VF-27 dodges Alto's gun burst sideways in an atmosphere.

Macross Frontier / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: Ranka, Sheryl, and to some degree Michel. Alto also has a bit of one with his father and his former Kabuki career. Its more apparent in the movies when he talks about it with Ranka, where it's a borderline Nightmare Fuel story of a Loss of Identity that verged on Critical Existence Failure.
