Macross Frontier won the Seiun awards at Nihon SciFi Taishou (Japan SciFi Convention, in English) in its 48th annual convention last Saturday. The award was given to such well-deserved anime artists for best sci-fi anime in TV . There were about 8 categories of sci fi listed for the awards presented that evening.

Director and mecha designer, Shoji Kawamori, the man who’s achieved massive success with his masterpiece classic Macross 25 years ago, once again proved he’s got the ‘magic’ touch to retell a wonderful story as it was in the orginal, with today’s modern CGI technology, the infamous love-triangle element (that everybody got hooked up to guess who will Hikaru fall for eventually in the original Macross) and fast-paced thrills of planet-robot action in space war between the humans/Zentraedi forces and the Vajra. Nothing short of expectations coming out from him.
I really loved the whole series whilst watching at Youtube. (I know. I shouldn’t be watching fansubs anime as I promised I wouldn’t. They’re doing a complete disservice to the anime industry as a whole. So rest assured, I’m not planning to watch them anymore in the future.) I think I’m going to buy myself DVD copy of the series and keep it as one of mecha DVD collection. Totally loved it! Highly recommended to all fans of Macross series or people who just wanna watch their favourite variable fighter jets transform/fight!
