MAS Update
It took until episode 5 but Macross Frontier is finally becoming a decent show. Tonight's episodes were the first ones that weren't paralleling events from the original Macross series. I could finally start caring about the characters. Those first four episodes didn't feel very original and I was worried the entire series was just going to be a badly done, yet pretty, rehash of the original. Fortunately it has now moved on to a more orignal storyline.
