Line 21:
** {{spoiler|Alto folding out with the Vajra Queen is similar to the ending of Macross Zero}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** Yuichi Nakamura, who voices Alto, is also the voice of Tomoya from ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]'' and Graham from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', and there's some places where you half expect Alto to sprout blond hair.
*** Alto really did feel like Tomoya in a mecha setting, specially since one of his love interests shared some similarities with Tomoya's main love interest in Clannad (Both adorably shy, and end up coming out of their shell almost entirely thanks to Tomoya/Alto; both are trying to get onto a stage; both have trouble remembering the past...).
*** Also, as this show ran between seasons of Gundam 00, fans of that show also noticed how visually Alto resembled Graham's best bud and mecha designer, Billy Katagiri. There was fanart that depicted Billy and Graham doing a fusion dance, and thus becoming Alto.
** Sheryl's Seiyu Aya Endo voiced Miyuki in ''[[Lucky Star]]'' and Kinue in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]''. Not quite as recognizable due to the range of roles (and talent of the actress) but there are moments of similarity between Kinue and Sheryl.
*** Naturally, during the release of figures where the Lucky Star cast cosplayed as Macross Frontier cast, Miyuki ended up becoming Sheryl.
*** Some of her [[Lucky Star]] castmates also appear in minor roles Fukahara Kaori and [[Hirano Aya]] play two of the three bridge bunnes and Hirano Aya also does double duty as Pixie Squadron pilot Nene Rora (aka the pink haired one).
** Mikhail's VA, Hiroshi Kamiya, is [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Tieria]] from the same, and generally sounds like what Tieria would sound like if he [[The Stoic|actually had a sense of humor]].
** You guys missed [[Kikuko Inoue]] as Grace? the "Goddess" of all Voice Actresses. (For those who don't get the pun, Belldandy-Ah My Goddess) {{spoiler|Though as of how things goes on for her, she's more like [[Guilty Gear|I-No]] reborn}}
** Katsuyuki Konishi, who voices Ozma Lee here, has voiced several prominent robot-show roles, including [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]] and [[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar|Volfogg]]. The latter is particularly notable in context of Mac F as a few times when Ozma has had to sound formal, he ends up sounding almost ''exactly'' like Volfogg.
** Jun Fukuyama voices Luca who is nearly a shota-type character....he hasn't played one in a long time.
** When Leon Mishima starts getting into his rousing speech: hey, isn't that [[Tomokazu Sugita|Kyon]]?
* [[Mythology Gag]]:
** The Macross Quarter does a technique followed by a big dramatic pose and a display of the name of the technique, similar to [[Genesis of Aquarion (Anime)|Genesis of Aquarion]]
** {{spoiler|Ranka singing to strengthen the Vajra while her image is projected into space is similar to how the Emulators worked from Macross II.}}
** The use of surfing, even with [[Humongous Mecha]], references [[Eureka Seven (Anime)|Eureka Seven]], another series with mechanical design by [[Shoji Kawamori]]
* [[No Export for You]]: Despite how incredible the show ended up being, so far it looks like the show will fall victim to the infamous legal snarls surrounding the Macross franchise; nobody has said a word about even considering bringing it over, even with the show DVDs, soundtracks, and related paraphernalia matching or even shattering decade-old sales records in Japan. There's still a chance that intense industry-wide pressure from everyone else (looking to strengthen the overall market with another prominent release) will once again make the various combatants in the Macross legal snarl play nice ala [[Macross Plus]] but as time grinds on this begins to look [[Screwed Byby the Network|less and less likely]].
** Well at least [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-08-17/jmanga-manga-site-launches-with-100-new-titles the manga versions will be available to the US].
