Check out the awesome opening to Macross Frontier, Song is “Triangular” by Maaya Sakamoto:
The series celebrates the 25th anniversary of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross TV series (1982~1983), and is chronologically subsequent to Macross 7 (1994~1996). This third TV series features Earth’s latest main variable fighter, the VF-25 and a new spaceship called the Macross Frontier. Two separate manga adaptations have been running in ShÅnen Ace and Comp Ace, since February 2008 and April 2008 respectively.[2]
On the Macross timeline, the story is set on the year 2059. The series features the 25th colonial fleet, dubbed the Macross Frontier, en route near the galactic center.
During a mission to an unexplored asteroid belt, a reconnaissance New U.N. Spacy (N.U.N.S.) VF-171 is destroyed by extremely powerful & fast insectoid biomechanical alien mecha (called “Vajra”, ãƒã‚¸ãƒ¥ãƒ© in the official site) [1], which immediately begin their attack on the rest of the fleet. Not being able to stop the new enemy threat, the N.U.N.S. colonial defense forces authorize the deployment of a civilian military provider organization called S.M.S., which utilizes the new VF-25 variable fighter to destroy the alien menace.
