There was once a war between mankind and a race of giants called the Zentradi.
Mankind, threatened with extinction during their first battle with extraterrestrial life,
sought out their future by advancing into the great Outer Space,
and departed for the farthest reaches of the galaxy in search of a new frontier.
In the year 2059 A.D., the 25th Giant Immigration Fleet,
also known as Macross Frontier, continued its great voyage toward the center of the galaxy.
Nanase! Wanna go to the Cranberry Mall?
Sorry, I have to work today!
Wind, north-northwest. Four meters per second!
Hey, Princess!
Launcher Catapult connected.
Engines, check. Flaps, check!
Taking off!
He's riding on the wind!
Geez, and to think he used to be a kabuki actor.
The sky is too low...
Wow! You really got tickets for Sheryl?
There's nothing I can't do if it's for you, Ranka!
Thanks a lot, Nii-chan! I love you!
Yippee! Deculture! This is great!
Sheryl... do I really get to meet you?
You are now entering an artificial gravity area.
Please watch your step.
You seem rather tired.
The jet lag and the Fold sickness are just awful.
Would you like to cancel the press conference?
Grace, have you forgotten who I am?
I am Sheryl. Sheryl Nome.
Miss Sheryl Nome, the artist of Macross Galaxy, otherwise known as the Fairy of the Galaxy,
who has topped the charts for 17 straight weeks on the Universal Board,
is on the last day of her three-month-long intergalactic tour.
So pretty...
Miss Sheryl?
Oh? I'm not her, you know!
My apologies. It was because you looked so beautiful...
Oh, dear!
Even here, Michael-senpai's still flirting with the girls.
I wonder what his heart's made out of.
Alto-senpai, you seem really calm too.
I guess you're used to this kind of atmosphere with your family's business!
Luca, if you say that one more time, I'll…!
Good morning!
Good morning.
It's Sheryl!
The Fairy of the Galaxy!
What are those kids doing here?
I told you to keep fans out of the backstage area!
T-Those were students hired for the opening aerial acrobatics...
Students? You hired amateur staff for one of my live performances?
They're from our fleet's top school...
Tell them to back off on the flying so they don't get in my way!
Although, the fans won't be looking at anyone apart from me!
"Fairy of the Galaxy," my ass. She's just a bitch!
Tenkumon Station. Tenkumon Station.
Would you like coffee or juice?
I'm gonna be late! I'm gonna be late!
This is horrible!
Not only did they not give us a dressing room, but they also changed our program!
It can't be helped. That's what the client wants.
"No dangerous, extravagant performances!"
But still! That doesn't give them the right to take out Alto-senpai's Corkscrew.
Don't get so worked up over it, Luca.
It's only a small job, anyway.
Anyway, this is my decision as the leader. I won't hear any complaints.
Huh? Where am I? Now, I'm lost.
Keep making that expression and your beautiful face will be ruined.
If you have any complaints, come in first next time.
Princess Alto, always in second place!
Michael!
I really wanted to see your Corkscrew.
It doesn't matter. The sky ends at 2000, anyway.
One can only fly so high.
I don't want to stay here.
Not here, where I feel like I'm suffocating!
RE/8! Please respond, RE/8!
Commander!
I have to hurry! I have to hurry!
Ouch!
Now I've done it...
I'm all soaked now...
She's beautiful.
Who are you?
Thank you so much. I thought I wouldn't be able to see the concert anymore.
But I was so surprised! You were so pretty that I thought you were a naked girl changing—
Who're you calling a girl?!
Oh... never mind.
I got lost, and I thought I'd find my way better if I climbed a tree.
Geez, so airheads do rise to higher places.
Hey! That's mean!
Huh? Um...
Thank you for showing me the way back!
You just followed me.
I know! I'll make it up to you!
I work part-time at Nyan-Nyan's, so stop by sometime!
Nyan, nyan...?
Nyan, nyan, nyan, nyan, nihao, nyan.
Gorgeous, delicious deculture!
Have you seen that commercial?
Oh my God! Look at the time!
Come to the restaurant, all right? I'll be waiting!
What a weird girl.
Here goes nothing!
A message from the Command Center.
An unmanned interceptor squadron was also shot down while following RE/8.
The nature of our target is unknown due to powerful EM interference.
Entering project level 7.
Listen to my song!
Backwards Air Bloom!
You're lagging, Frankie!
Just keep going!
Cut it out, Alto!
The audience is loving it!
Here comes the Main Fault Corkscrew!
Alto!
Woo hoo!
Don't chicken out, Fairy-san!
That idiot!
Shit!
I'm sorry, I'll take you back.
Just keep flying!
Hurry!
All right!
Geez, that idiot!
All units, back him up!
You're amazing!
Bravo 1 and 3 were shot down!
Golf 7, damaged! It's returning to the ship!
Hold them back at all costs!
We'll do something as well.
Order all ships to evacuate!
Understood, Sir.
So the military alone couldn't hold them back.
Most likely.
It's me, Mr. Birler. They're finally here.
Ranka?!
So this is the show that Michael and the guys were hired to fly for.
Huh? Y-Yeah...
The President's Office requests the S.M.S. to participate in a sortie.
All squadrons, scramble!
Mission Code: Victor 3!
I repeat: A Victor 3 has been issued!
Victor? You've gotta be kidding me...
All of you!
Unfortunately, this is not a drill.
All units are to use Super Packs.
Use of Armor Packs is approved for Squadron Leaders!
Gilliam! Call up Michael and the others!
All of you! We're launching!
Ranka... it's finally time!
What's going on?
Notice from the Macross Frontier Central Government.
An evacuation order has been issued for all ships.
Please hurry!
All civilians should evacuate to the nearest shelter.
What are you talking about? I'm still...
Quickly!
Wait!
I repeat. An evacuation order has been issued for all ships.
Huh? No way!
Roger. We'll return immediately.
Luca, we're going.
All civilians should evacuate to the nearest shelter.
Understood.
Hey! Michael! Luca!
What the hell is going on?
This is Ozma Lee, Leader of the S.M.S. Skull Squadron.
We are taking control of this area.
R-Roger!
These aren't opponents you cowards can take on.
Code Victor... is this what you were talking about, Captain?
Let's go!
Cover fire?!
Damn, is that the leader?
Where is he?
There!
I can't catch up!
Just what the hell are these guys?
Gilliam! We're defending as well!
I'm already on it!
What the hell?!
Something's flashing up there!
Teams Purple and Vermillion have been wiped out!
They've breached our final line of defense!
You bastards!
Hey!
What's the meaning of this?
Wait!
There are still people inside!
Are you just going to sneak off on your own?!
Let the professionals take care of it. Amateurs need not worry.
What?!
All of them came here to see you!
And you're just going to run away by yourself?!
You call yourself a professional?!
Hey, come back here!
Foolish boy...
What the hell is that?
A monster!
Is that... a weapon?
A VF-25?
They were already approved for battle?
Hurry up and get outta here, kid!
You're in the way!
Damn!
I'm not going down here!
You goddamn monster!
Stop it!
No... No...
Don't come any closer!
I can move it!
No!
Ranka and Sheryl.
Alto's encounter with those two girls led him to an unexpected future.
Next Episode: Hard Chase.
Song of the chase, ring out across the Galaxy!
