Yeah I know but it was rewarding to see how far Cathy has come from the first time she stepped onto Quarter. Admittedly she’ also grown more than Ranka.

It’s Macross so I am sure Kawamori is not about to change things up too much by having Alto-hime go at it alone. Given how at least Alto listens to Klein and Sheryl maybe he will cool his jets sooner. I would not say hime is dependent but rather he listens to what they have to say heck Alto was almost quoting Sheryl verbatim when he told Ozma that he would be master of his own fate. To date not once has Alto ever not listend to what Klein has to say, it’s probably a Meltran thing.

Conversely while hime might not want to hurt again at least it prompted an answer for Sheryl. All this time i suspect hime thought that he had all the time in the world to be tsun tsun with Sheryl. When faced with losing something or someone he really cares about hime made a stand. I am sure that he will not go back on his choice, one because that would mean Ranka is getting together with a jerk and would be inconsistent with the Alto we know, and second because for once hime chose to leave his VF-25 for Sheryl. Guess Ranka just wasn’t that important. Still I’d like to know what message Cathy sent out to everyone.

Cathy makes Ozma happy, which makes Bobby happy. Plus, she’s a member of the Quarter’s family now, which makes her his family. Of course he’ll hug her (and Ozma) after finding them alive.

Actually, I’d be happy if Alto decides to go it alone in the end and not depend or go for either girl… or for Klein, who was my early pick. He seems a bit too thick, or reluctant, to pick a girl right now. Or to really depend on one for anything at all – much less for emotional support. He’s willing to provide it… but seems to see it as a one-way street after his mother’s death. He really doesn’t want to get hurt again.

Even if Klein some how dies I think that since she and Sheryl share the same out look on life that Alto will eventually have to deal with the grief. It seems Klein is still in mourning after what happened while Alto and Luca are still in rage mode. Since Alto-hime is the titular protagonist I doubt that Alto will make the wrong choice in the end, if only because Kawamori has never rolled that way. Since Ranka and Sheryl got second chances I am sure Alto-hime will get his to do things right.

I hope Luca is the last to defect since he has probably the biggest issue with Ranka right now given how Nanase was abandoned by her so called best friend.

VF-27 Pilot Grace will be flying in the dreams of Macross fans for years to come. I am sure you will get your doujin.

I just hope Klein survives to see the end it would be a shame if she died, maybe in that regard she’s the Claudia of this series. Still love how Bobby gave poor Cathy a hug.

If she gets killed by Vajra (Klein), or Alto discovers that the V-type disease is gotten from Vajra, I suspect he’ll be more than ready to drop the dimension eater on Ranka’s planet, which means that either Brera’ll have to try to kill Alto, or else Alto’ll be dropping a bomb on Ranka’s head and Ozma and company have to fight him, like in VF-X2 where the hero has to choose betewen defecting to the ‘anti-UN Spacy’ (which wasn’t), or staying with the UN Spacy (whose commander was actually a member of the anti-UN Spacy forces). Alto’s made the choice that Aegis didn’t… and I’m wondering if he’ll get a second chance to defect or if he’ll create a great tragedy and wonder where he went wrong. Hell, I’d be happy if Grace shot Alto down so he had to switch planes… or to see Grace stroll into the Frontier and aim the particle cannon at Alto’s office and wave before she shot him.

Besides, if Alto doesn’t try to kill Ranka, I’m sure Leon’s ready to do so now with what happened to Nanase and how he’s blaming Ranka for running off and leaving a friend who adored her in a coma without so much as a good-bye.

Grace fondling herself isn’t moe – just sexy. It could’ve been sexier, but they had limits to work with. I’m half-expecting a doujin of Grace in that suit and a VF-27.

At most I can see Alto unloading all his ammo and missing Ranka in a fit of rage and telling her to leave. In all probability hime will eventually forgive since Kawamori isn’t the kind of guy to make two disparate races mortal enemies, still holding out for a conclusive rejection though, that would make Ranka pay the piper so Ranka would not have out run the “no” hime was about to give her.

I agree Grace must give Leon a good kick in the balls before she leaves, he did try to kill her so he must not go unpunished…Grace is her own woman I won’t have it any other way. Having Kikouku Inoue around as Grace at least makes up for her lack to time on Code Geass, that or being Grace was more fun than being Cecile.

Grace fondling herself brings “so moe I died” and “Yes Your Highness!” Still Grace is a top contender for Villain of the Year.

Problem there is that Ranka’s travelling with Brera, so… well, I don’t see her suddenly being ejected into space without significant trauma, should Brera decide to ditch her for whatever reason. Especially if Alto or Luca are trying to kill him.

And for some reason, I -still- think of Grace as being a hench-woman of Kain… peace… through POWER. Especially with that last scene and what she was doing. Hell, I’m hoping she kills Leon or betrays him. I wouldn’t begrudge her escaping after tossing Leon to the sharks. That, and crazy smart villains usually deserve a second chance to come back in a sequel for round two.

Or maybe I’m just fond of how she’s fondling her breasts in that pilot suit. Kikoku Inoue as an evil bitch is just sheer delight.

Maybe my raw is shitty but it could still be one of those brown ones Brera was dragging along. Gold would be fabulous though, even more so if Grace can kick some real ass with it. As evil as Grace is being I just love her, she far superior to that Harry Ord clone, Leon. Grace, making the impossible possible, good gawd I can’t believe the milquetoast manager turned out to be one of my favorite villains this year. Great job Ranka you just gave the big bad everything she wanted…

My current theory is that both Luca and Alto stayed for their loves since snatching Sheryl and Nanase in their current state might end up doing more harm than help. Since Klan has stayed behind too, probably to look after Mikhail’s buddies that Alto won’t go Shinn. Hime might just snatch Sheryl and go back to Quarter, besides I am sure Richard Bilrer has a few plans for his kabuki employee, so does Klein. I have faith in Klein and Kawamori’s troll-fu I bet the crazy old coot is going to troll Fukuda.

I am more than certain that Kawamori isn’t going to pull a fucking Canvas 2, though I am preparing for the Ranka fan rage. Alto-hime made the right choice though, hopefully Alto-hime will kill both Brera and Ai-kun. Ranka can’t die for since she’s no Guld.

Valkyrie-pilot Grace is sexy-evil, especially when she fondles her breasts in that tight, tight pilot suit. And she has a GOLD VF-27, as well. Yes, the lady travels in style. Besides, this series already had Bobby dragging Cathy and the girls out shopping during that pre-fold sale.

Sheryl’s breasts bring hope and dreams; Grace’s augmented cyborg bust brings peace… through POWER!

I still want to see if Leon orders Alto to shoot Ranka down or not – just to see if Alto struggles with his Vajra hate, or goes the Shinn route and says ’screw you, bitch, you’re going down’. Or if he’ll shoot at Brera and/or the Vajra with the MDE.

Valkyrie pilot Grace is smexy. :3

That alone makes it better than GSD. Also because they didn’t go shopping.
