Macross Frontier
Ah, guilty pleasures. Macross Frontier is probably one of those shows that I shouldn't like. I just can't help myself. It's so layered in self references and cliche I don't think it'd be able to stand on it's own. Without giving too much away, they make references to the entire history of the Macross fiction, including the "Minmei Attack". I had forgotten that it was called that. That definitely got a laugh out of me.
The animation is wonderful, complete with nice blending of 2D and 3D images. For some reason with Anime, the recent improvements in quality go a long way in getting my attention. I find it difficult to get in to shows that predate computer assisted animation.
Anyway, with all the teenage love triangles, uncomfortable social situations, and reluctant heroes, I still enjoy the show. I've managed to get all the way to episode 15 and I can't wait to watch some more.
The space battles are awesome. Maybe I'm just a sucker for an awesome veritech fighter.

So I have to ask, are you a Ranka man or a Sheryl man? Or are you just a Valkyrie man?

Hahahaha. I’d have to say Sheryl straddling a Valkyrie.
