Macross Frontier ep 7
*SPOILERS!*
Oh my god, Sheryl is… is… a magical girl! AARGH!! *brain explodes*
Thoughts
Okay, this episode was so over the top I had to get this down on (electronic) paper right away. The battle was outrageous, Alto went Newtype all of a sudden, formerly invulnerable Vajra are now rather handily disposed of, Sheryl had recycled footage and absolutely no one to help her change and touch up makeup during her encore, and apparently earrings allow song to travel millions of miles… but it was all right, it was all right.
Normally I would deride the whackness of such an episode. But damn, I just have to give the writers credit for their sheer enthusiasm. No holds barred, this is what the anime genre stood for, and this is what Macross Frontier has once again reminded us of. Damn that Destroid was too freakin’ awesome!
Yeah yeah, I know the Macross finally transformed, and totally kicked ass. Then there was some soul-bonding between Sheryl and Ranka. And we get introduced to some mysterious new character who knows Ranka’s song (*dun dun dun*). But I tell ya, nothing beats that Destroid scene!
Extra points for the new ending.
Oh, and if they sell MacF goods, I so totally want Sheryl’s earrings. Speaking of which, is the one with Alto now floating somewhere in space?! That’s gonna be hell to find, for sure.
