Don't forget that Macross Frontier is Kawamori/Big West's big celebration of Macross' 25th Anniversary. You watch the show and there are so many "echoes" between it an the original Macross, such as...
MACROSS FRONTIER SPOILERS AHEAD!
+ The main protagonist also starts off as a civilian stunt pilot - although this time he flies power armour instead of a plane. Judging from the fact that we've seen pics of a VF-25 with his name attached, we can assume that he'll become conscripted or enlisted into the UN Spacy as a Valkyrie pilot.
+ The elite Valkyrie squad is still the Skull Squadron with the same black and yellow stripes!
+ the capital ships have captains wearing a typical naval uniform much like Captain Global's and they're all manned (or womanned) by female "bridge bunnies."
+ Lynn Minmei is divided into two characters - there's the schoolgirl who works part time at a Chinese restaurant and then there's Sheryl, the pop idol - who like Minmei also has some questionable morals (although arguably more remorseless - but I wouldn't say she's evil like Sharon Apple - just very self-centred, which again is like Minmei)
+ A lot of the capital ships look like they were made from a hybrid of human and Zentraedi technology.
+ The ending theme is a really nice new version of the "Do You Remember Love?" song. I love it!
"Do You Remember Love?" from original Macross (Iijima Mari)
"Do You Remember Love?" from Macross Frontier (performed by Kannou Youko, who also did music for Macross Plus)
