Yeah,sure Ranka and Alto…that is a joke,right…I mean suddenly she realized he likes him and just because she saw him first…that isn’t a real reason.I got to admit to a few points with you,Alto is far more beautiful than Ranka but not than Sheryl,she is the woman and the character for which I like the anime in the first place…they really had to start the love triangle and it is such a pity,they really shouldn’t have…I am tired of lame triangles,in my view it would be clear enough for any guy to pick Sheryl in all respects.
I don’t like how Ranka sings,Sheryl’s -What about my star is notable better,sorry for the voicing stars but it’s true,I prefer a more refined voice like Sheryl’s.

@Tmoo
As The Sojourner said, you can’t argue with the results.

@TheBigN
I am talking about the busty moe megane Nanase with her thigh highs that has also grabbed Luca’s gaze. Luca is enamored with Alto-hime, but he’s gunning for Nanase until Alto-hime gets retconned into a girl. Besides Alto-himexLuca? DO NOT WANT.

I think the only one who knows if Glass is a copy pasta would be Leon…

Sojourner: She never WAS a copy-paste Misa - she had some Minmay traits, along with the whole ‘idol’ thing going for her. She has SOME Misa traits (hard worker, fights with the main male character)… but so does Ranka with her self-doubts… something that Minmay rarely had to deal with, since she was rather… self-absorbed? Arrogant?

Either way, it should be an interesting ride. Even Lieutenant Glass isnt’ a copy-paste, despite looking a LOT like Misa…

@Haesslich
Thanks for the clarification on the VF-11. Well problem solved.

I guess with 25 episodes to go we shall see where Atlo-hime, and Sheryl, and Ranka will go in life. In any case I am sure that the Pixies will have their day soon enough. I hope they have a preflight check…

@The Sojourner
Yeah given that neither Sheryl nor Ranka is an exact copy pasta I am intrigued as to where this is headed, though I am sure it will be a fun journey.

It’s episodes like these that make me forget that the Valkyries and evil alien Vajras exist in the story.

That said, Sheryl’s image was one of austure initially so she gave me the vibes of a new Misa from the original Macross. I had the thought that if Macross F is to make tons of reference to the original, Sheryl is likely to be the one for Alto eventually. However, this episode has changed my impression of Sheryl in a way that she is not exactly a copypaste Misa so I guess anything goes.

Oh and I foresee a Broadway musical for Macross in the near future. Deculture nyan~

Thank you kindly. The VF-2SS has a wider intake below the wing, and a set above the wing, which appear to be missing in the above shot, plus it’s missing the canards that are clearly visible above. On top of the whole ‘not being canon’ thing due to lack of Kawamori and Studio Nue involvement…

Myssa Rei: That looks more like a VF-11 with a Super pack on it - the ailerons on the front, plus the bulging FAST pack are closer in design to the image above than to the VF-22SS. Plus the ‘bulge’ at the nosecone is VERY much like the VF-11B/C’s own… and given that they appeared in Macross Plus as being the ‘current line’ fighter which the VF-17 was supposed to replace, would fit with the appearance here as an older fighter which COULD be spared to go for help.

Kabitzin: Ozma only hits boys. Girls, he yells at or ignores.

To everyone talking about pairings: there’s flirting on Sheryl’s side, but I don’t quite see the relationship yet. Or, if you want to put it in original Macross terms, Sheryl’s playing Hikaru to Alto’s self-absorbed Minmay at the moment; he’s not looking (and neither was Minmay) at the moment. Give it time, and we’ll see how everyone develops as friends first before Alto, Ranka, or Sheryl find themselves crosisng a line somewhere.

Ranka’s childish… but she IS young, and she hasn’t had much of a chance to interact with others, which is what Alto’s giving her. Sheryl’s not exactly the MOST mature of the three, but she’s certainly above Alto-hime… but even she has her childish moments (look at how she was looking for the earring in Episode 2).

All-Meltran Klein with bra is quite stunning, though - it’s less frightening when she’s NOT bouncing all over the place with every breath. Plus that outfit works for her - a pity we didn’t get to see much of Nene, though.

Bah for you Alto-himexRanka = OVER 9000.

You are broken, sadly you are still in denial. You tune will change.

Wow, and I thought Alto-hime broke me. You’re far beyond repair. A trap is fine too, but a nyan nyan is superior!

@anne
Yeah Sheryl is more mature than Ranka at this point since Sheryl has achieved quite a lot at age 17. It also helps that she is both the same age as Alto-hime as well as share public performance as a an interest. Ranka is just about to step out into her late teens so I guess Ranka is going to have to grow up a bit. Right now she probably gives off a little sister vibe to Alto-hime.

@manga
Yeah next time Alto-hime will being going on a group dayto with his VF-25 to help out Klein-sama to the cheers and squeals of the bridge crew.

Still there might be some development in store as Sheryl and Alto-hime do meet. In any case it will be a good battle with lots of missiles and kabuki battle posing.

@Shin
Why not? It is after all a part of the history even if it looks a dated.

@otou-san
Macross II was very odd creature and was overshadowed by its more famous brethren.

@Myu
I don’t think Sheryl was being completely honest about mever meeting any one who didn’t care about her fame schtick. Rather I am confident that Sheryl is attracted to feminine qualties give how she was doting upon Ranka. I trust that given Alto-hime’s girlish looks that Sheryl’s icy exterior was melted by the fires of passion burning within her. Granted that almost every other girl gives due respect to Alto-hime’s beauty it was inevitable that Sheryl too would find Alto-hime to be pretty.

It will be interesting to see how Ranka is going to behave post kissu.

Indeed Vajra were meant only to kill…

@HiT0Mi
Ranka will probably get Alto-hime in the end, but having Sheryl around will force Ranka to ascend into womanhood that much sooner.
