I can see how Macross Frontier fails to provide the same emotional value that the original gave its fans the same way you see the inability of Diebuster to rise above being a plain sequel. Macross Frontier did something really well though: the nostalgia fanservice was epic. The references to the 25 years worth of shows were beautifully and grandly done. I don't see how nostalgia fanservice can be done better... ...save for a moment in Diebuster. You both know what it is. Lal'c staring to the sky watching the two lights enter the atmosphere, giving us the <i>privilege</i> of being in the midst of 10,000 years of human gratitude lighting up the surface of the Earth... I cried like the fool I was for Gainax shows. And I'm a happy fool. Thank you for this post, for making me remember love.
