See, I’m one of those Macross fans who’s really only in it for the music; I could care less about the mecha and the love triangles. (I love Klan Klan, though. Poor Klan Klan. ;_;) The latest slew of tracks released to go with Macross Frontier: The Movie ~Itsuwari no Utahime~ are compiled in albums [...]

Sheryl Nome rises high above the crowd and welcomes them to her fan club's night.  In part 3, we'll take a look at May'n's return to the stage. After a costume change, she comes back in Sheryl Nome-like fashion with a dominating presence care of the big screen. While the crowd gets excited about her performance of "Welcome to My FanClub's Night!", it's not until the start of "Northern Cross" did they get really fired up. For that performance, they even had the air blowers going to give May'n's hair and fluffy clothes that extra angelic touch. Surprisingly, Megumi returns to the stage right after (costume change and all) in a never before seen Aimo acappella performance. May'n also adds in her Aimo acappella bit, before Megumi takes us into a full-blown Aimo. It was amazing to see the captivated crowd of 14,000+ go completely silent for the acappella performances. ...More after the jump, including videos of course!

Many thanks to Gubaba for the lead! A new Sheryl Nome has appeared in the Macross F CD Drama Nyan Dra 3. This to me now is the most Britney-ish song of hers, rivaling What ‘Bout My Star. This is definitely a song that came before her beating down, and the type that you’ll hate if [...]

Rating: 7.8/10 Impressions: Again, another nicely paced, well animated action episode. However, this series is seriously lacking some substance now. However, the semi-cliffhanger ending certain does a good job of eliminating that problem. I still haven’t seen the following few episodes, but I’ll be sure to get to them soon. One surprise for me was seeing the [...]

The (in)famous episode 3. The episode title is "On Your Marks", but I'm wondering maybe they should have reused the Macross episode 1 title, "Booby Trap". Or "Boobie Trapped"? LOL

Macross Frontier reminds me so much of…something. I don’t mean that I think it’s a rip off (although it apparently is), but it’s the almost giddy storytelling style. Every scene in this episode is infused with something that makes it significant in some way, whether it’s cheesy fanservice jokes or beautiful singing or [...]

Rating: 7/10 Impressions: Well this episode is rather…uneventful. OK, that’s the wrong word to use, but honestly, it feels that way despite the progression of the story. I guess it just feels rather bland in comparison to the previous two episodes. Right now, Code Geass is better, but still, the high tech, epic feel of Macross F [...]
