The story starts after Macross Dynamite 7, an OVA of Macross 7 as a sequel, and tells us the story of Saotome Alto, a young guy with no dreams and Ranka Lee, a little girl who’s affected by amnesia; they meet randomly as they were going to the same event : the Sheryl Nome’s live. Who’s Sheryl Nome? A rising singer who’s famous all around the galaxy and she’s indeed the third main protagonist of this anime. It’s a pretty interesting plot so far : one guy with no dream, a girl who’s living her dream and an another girl who cannot have a dream for the moment; but is the dream real or just a “real dream”? I’ll let you find out because I don’t want to spoil anything. Going back to the story, in this anime humanity now is all around the universe as they are looking for a new home and they are all divided in various fleets and our main protagonist of today is the colony of the Battle Frontier which is comprised of six ships: two stealth medium space carriers (which function as the arms in attack mode), one Combat Command Carrier (“central block”), two medium assault battleships (functioning as the leg “engine blocks””) and one heavy bombardment warship (“Gunship”). When separated, each ship is fold capable, combat capable and otherwise possesses all capabilities of a battleship.
This colony is actually trying to escape and avoid an alien form of existence called “Vajra”, a weird type of alien which is attacking every ship causing deaths and destruction, and yeah they gave me nightmares no joking. Vajras have a quite interesting and unique look since it's not your average alien but a "thing" similar to insects more or less and if the goal was to be scary, yes it was a success.
As the danger shows up the military do it too and the “Skull Team” shows what it’s capable of. Alto is amazed by them and by their jets, the VF-25, and how they fight and so his very first desire is born :
I want to fly
The first attack from the Vajras is during Sheryl’s live and there was Ranka there and by watching her and listening to her beautiful songs her very first dream is here :
I want to sing
Two dreams are born but one is in danger, Sheryl’s dream is in danger now thanks to the enemy.
The story keeps a pacing which is almost perfect : there are very few boring or cringey moments and few few plot holes, the suspense is always at the peak and the cliffhangers at the end of important episodes are crazy (especially the penultimate one); I cannot forget about the ending of the show because it's actually my all time favourite ending ever, completely full of action and surprises.
Macross is kinda known for producing monsters of the music industry, in Delta we literally have JUNNA, but here in frontier we have May'n and Megumi Nakajima; can these two sound well together despite the fact Megumi has a light and sunny voice while May'n has a fucking insane voice full of any vocal range? Y E S.
Seikan Hikou from Megumi Nakajima
Diamond Crevasse by May’nTheir voices are absolutely outstanding in this show and even better when they are together, Macross Frontier is truly one of those few anime where you can see the artist reaching the absolute peak.

Smooth movements, not too many poor animations and drawings, the ambient often looks awesome and yes it's incredibly nice to look at.
Also the character design of every character is really sweet.
