episode review: Macross Frontier 2-4
Well, needless to say the nasty cliffhanger situation from the opening episode gets resolved, but not without a good handful of minutes full of suspension, action and tight spots. And just when everything seems safe again, some of the enemy forces have decided to remain behind to renew their attack, by hiding inside the space colony…
Various storylines are set out and explored in these opening episodes, and eventually they become entwined with the main story arc: there’s the academy pilot Saotome Alto, who ends up joining a group of civilian military fighters after circumstances force him to pilot a Variable Fighter; music also plays a big part in every Macross series, and in Frontier this is done by pop idol Sheryl Nome, who more or less crashes into Alto’s life (or rather, the other way around). Then there is Ranka Lee, a young girl with a traumatized past, linking her to the alien attackers; at the same time she catches Sheryl’s attention as a promising talent, and tries to look her best in the colony’s annual idol-contest.
So far so good, and I’m still curious to see where this goes…
