* NoExportForYou: 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 MacrossPlus but as time grinds on this begins to look [[ScrewedByTheNetwork less and less likely]].

Not to mention, that any licensor would also have to shell out as much or possibly more for the music licensing rights to the show (which, in fairness to Harmony Gold, runs a close second as a reason ''MacrossSeven'' has not been released in the US -- it would be obscenely expensive for anyone whose name is not Disney or Viacom to license completely), making it unattractive to most of the anime distributors in America.

* If it seems as though Kawamori doesn't really have much to say on the last episode its because it wasn't his idea, in fact he has very little to do with it. The last episode came from the mind of the series Composition, and Script writer, Hiroyuki Yoshino, who believed [[spoiler: that Alto was far [[ObliviousToLove too Clueless to]] [[CanNotSpitItOut say it out loud]]. However unlike Kawamori he skips dropping hints and just says it out right who Alto favors.]]
** In line with this tidbit of information the events last episode were not the ones originally planned. This is the reason why the events don't lead up the conclusion, because it was completely redone as last minute change. In fact the ending was originally planned for the series was radically different.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Yuichi Nakamura, who voices Alto, is also the voice of Tomoya from ''{{Clannad}}'' and Graham from ''{{Gundam00}}'', 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 ''LuckyStar'' and Kinue in ''{{Gundam00}}''. 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 [[{{Gundam00}} Tieria]] from the same, and generally sounds like what Tieria would sound like if he [[TheStoic actually had a sense of humor]].
** You guys missed KikukoInoue 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 [[GuiltyGear I-No]] reborn]]
** Katsuyuki Konishi, who voices Ozma Lee here, has voiced several prominent robot-show roles, including [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] and [[GaoGaiGar 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 [[TomokazuSugita Kyon]]?
