Spoiler for SDF Macross:

As for secondary characters, you really didn't need a hint to realize that Roy n' Claudia were active in that particular field. Then there is the obvious couple, like Max and Milia. Although none of them were involved in any triangle.

It's more than just that. In just about all Macross works, there's a certain amount of sexual activity, and it's almost never portrayed in a negative light. It's treated much more like a normal outgrowth of a relationship.

There's three main reasons why Leon gets a bad rap: he's sinister, he's got a hidden agenda, and he seems to push Kathy around. I think that people complain about his relationship to Kathy because it's more convenient to do so than attacking his other points.

Leon is often seen as the "final villain" because that's the kind of role one would expect his character archetype to play in most anime. I don't think that this'll be the case at all.

Yup, now go and watch Macross Plus. It won't add all that much to the Macross Frontier experience, but it's a darn good anime.

That's completely true; and it's rather a shame that most anime suggest otherwise. I consider it a credit to the Macross franchise that sex between consenting adults is shown in a positive and healthy light.
