Macross Frontier Review

Overall Rating 4.1 out of 10 - Show for fans of spoiled women.

I do not recommend watching.

It begun rather nice. Ranka was cute, space jets were awesome and much more advanced graphics (compared the original) made me think that it would be an awesome show. Many cameo references to the original Macross only made it this clearer.

Then it went downhill and kept going lower and lower until I ran out of patience.

Supporting cast was rather nasty. Michael even admitted he thinks hazing of male MC is his duty. The rest of the crew of the PMC called SMS, are mostly goofy and chaotic. They throw shit and run after each other for not particular reason. It is frustrating to see Alto put up with them. Even Ranka stopped being her cute cuddly self and became more hostile and unfriendly.

However, the worst character in this show had to be Sheryl. 

Min May from the original eventually got spoiled by her fame and stardom, but you could still sympathize with her because you remember how she was because she became famous and even by the end of the show, she still had enough redeeming qualities. 

In contrast Sheryl is spoiled and acts like she can get away with anything. She is both willful and stupid at the same time. She would have died many times over if not for Alto. I do not know if people who are into femdom like these kinds of women or not, but to me she is revolting.

Regardless Sheryl is clear favorite of the creative team. A much better Ranka gets constantly blocked out by her on every corner and does not gat a fair chance at anything. 

This show suffers from issues that make other shows of 2010s so bad and unlikable. I do not recommend watching.
