The first episode of the Macross Frontier premiered last week in Japan! Macross Frontier is the third TV series in the Macross saga, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross series. This new show features the U.N Spacy's newest variable fighter VF-25, as well as the exploratory fleet dubbed the Macross Frontier en-route to the galactic center. The story will revolve around the pilot trainee Alto Saotome, a schoolgirl named Ranka Lee and the galaxy's premiere pop idol, Sheryl Nome. The first episode was great, with some tributes to the first series such as Alto piloting an abandoned VF-25 in "gerwalk" form, as well as setting up the eventual love triangle between the main characters. Also of note is the opening song "Triangular", which features Maaya Sakamoto and composer Yoko Kanno's reunion. Here's the OP from Youtube:

So far Macross Frontier series seems to be as enjoyable as the past Macross anime. I can't wait to see the second episode!
