I'd give it a 10, but as Mecha Pilots go Alto has to be one of the more forgettable out there, sure he had a few hotblooded moments, but overall he spent the entire series hanging around, and not really resolving on everything. He didn't even evolve much either. He started as a dude with a love of flying, and ended as pretty much the same guy. When you compare that to how Sheryl changed over the series it's really quite poor, even Lucca and Mikhail got more evolution. A cool pilot is really what completes a series, and Macross F never quite got that element down right. They had Ozma Lee and Mikhail, but neither of them could ever approach the levels of coolness that is Maximilian Jenius, or even Roy Focker.
Everything else was pretty much perfect. The plot was good, though perhaps could have had been better paced at the end, but it had the best Mecha Pr0n ever. I mean there's never been anything at quite this level ever, not even Gurren Lagann, or Gundam 00(perish the thought) come close. They've really raised the bar on CGI Mecha battles. Gonzo take note.
