NjOi!!

How would you rate it in comparision with Macross Zero or Macross Plus?

hmmmm, if your asking me its way to early in the series to say anything about the story but I can saftly say if you put Macross Plus and Macross Zero's Animation together you have Macross Frontier.
the Battel sceans are just a tiny bit to fast but thats the only thing i can complain about.

the new characters , Mecha and the new enemy ROCK!!

my 2 cents

I JUST CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!

i didnt get that feeling after Shadow Chronicles

Well Shadow Chronicles animation is really bad. Ask Nenad who knows about animating for an especialized opinion, he found on it dozens of flaws and he says it looks like early 90 CG. I mean, it's quite clear when you watch it the cg sucks, but they make a lot of propaganda to make people believe its eyes are teasing on them and as unbelieable as it sounds, some people believes them instead of what they see. I guess, It's like when children believe in Santa Claus, it isnt there but it is

Not really early 90's , but really amateurish instead. That is no " production " quality animation( not even broadcast, not to speak about OVA or MOVIE quality)

it is something a " SINGLE " high school level 3d intermediate skilled artist could create ... SOmeone who doeasnt even know what " production " is all about . Just dont compare it to any production what so ever . You will do it more justice by comparing it to Demo Reels of 3d artist beginers....


That was Shadow Chronicles. And now about Macross F . Well my comments are kinda divided.

The Character animation really is incredible They are dynamic (lot more dynamic then Gundam 00 characters). The voice acting also is very good .

However the mechanical animation is just not it . C'mon they could do that better (especialy the ships , and asteroids).

In terms of mechanical animation , and battle coreography that is .
And the lighting in space scenes is not particlarily good. Basicaly the shot ellements are good. But the overall composition , and the colors of the shots are not .


On the other hand atmospheric environments look very very good

And based on what i saw in this episode - Macross Zero has a better overall CGI quality . For the overall audio-visual impression - Gundam 00 tops it(inspite the character animation)


And a few personal side notes. The new vf is very well designed. But this...

Is just ridiculous... I wonder is Kawamori's brain now a size of a peanught?

I was blown away with the first episode. I had no issues with it at all. The colors of the background and all that were fine for me. On a side note, if they are going to stretch this out to 26 episodes, I don't think they're going to edit every frame and every aspect of it for the perfect color, the perfect background, and the perfect sequence. If that were the case, I don't think it'd come out for another year or so.

It did get me anxious for the next episode, so in my mind, that is success. It kinda makes you feel like a kid all over again, wanting to watch your favorite show at that specific time. Robotech used to do that for me back in the day.

Shadow Chronicles did none of that for me. It had a good base plot that died in the hands of the one directing it. I got bored watching it, and to be honest, it doesn't leave any longing for the next installment. That would spell a failure to me.

BTW, one of the best sequences I liked in the Frontier ep. was when the bug creature fires the gun on that smaller sized ship and the way it explodes. I was so mesmorized seeing the way the explosion was so damn detailed. I'm gonna watch it now after talking about it. I made a pretty clean copy on DVD from a Hi-def source. Subs are awesome, too.

Good to see you participating in other sections.
I noticed a latin guy posted these links in the UEG spanish boards.

if they are going to make 26 episodes in this quality, they are going to boost Macross popularity a lot.

Here you are, the rest of the New Macross frontier series:
