Macross Frontier is a popular entry in the Macross franchise, which is known for its combination of mecha, music, and drama. It originally aired in 2008 and is the 25th anniversary celebration of the Macross series, which started in 1982. The series mixes space battles, transforming fighter jets, and love triangles with a lot of focus on music as a key theme.

Set in the year 2059, Macross Frontier follows the story of a fleet of colonists searching for a new home in deep space. The fleet's main ship, the Macross Frontier, becomes embroiled in a conflict with the mysterious alien race known as the Vajra. At the heart of the story is the love triangle between two pilots, Alto Saotome, and two women: the famous pop singer Sheryl Nome and the more introverted but also talented singer Ranka Lee.

One of the series' standout features is its music, with songs like "Lion," "What 'bout my star?" and "Seikan Hikou" becoming iconic in anime history. The soundtrack was composed by Yoko Kanno, who is known for her incredible versatility and ability to blend genres.
