OP Sequence

OP: 「ライオン 」 (Lion) by May’n and 中島愛 (Nakajima Megumi)
Watch the OP!: Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Streaming

The new opening song’s not bad – I like the way it starts, but the actual vocal parts are still growing on me. What’s really attention grabbing is how busy and flashy the animation that goes with it is. Heck, all that triangle imagery reminded me more of Triangular than anything else. And unlike CODE GEASS R2’s most recent OP, this one doesn’t drop too many hints about the upcoming plot, so it felt like mostly just eye-candy (in more ways than one).

Summary:

In confronting Grace, Sheryl demands to know why she became Ranka’s manager and why Ranka’s song works against the Vajra. Seeing Sheryl question why it’s Ranka and not her, Grace finally comments on how Sheryl is a manufactured idol. Sheryl denies this and insists that she made it this far on her own, but Grace counters by pointing out that Sheryl would still be covered in garbage in a Galaxy slum if Grace hadn’t found her back then. Regardless, she feels that Sheryl Nome is going to die. Sheryl tries not to let that faze her and declares that she won’t lose even if Grace isn’t around. In response, Grace laughs and reminds Sheryl that she had been taken to the hospital soon after she had been found. Grace reveals that Sheryl hadn’t been cured though – the illness merely hasn’t developed in her yet. In short, when Grace was talking about Sheryl Nome dying, she meant both as a singer and literally. She finally suggests that if Sheryl thinks that she’s lying, then Sheryl should go see for herself. Meanwhile, the bridge crew of the Macross Quarter are discussing how the Macross Frontier Senate has passed a super-long-distance Fold bill. Mina thinks that they succeeded in accumulating enough surplus energy for it, but Ram and Cathy doubt this. Cathy explains that the supply of energy to all islands has been dropped instead, meaning that all commercial activity has been suspended and even a part of the transportation system has been stopped. Mina is depressed about this, but Bobby sees it as an opportunity to go to some clearance sales before the Fold.

Over at the hospital, Alto pays a visit to Ozma who reveals to him that the Vajra have a tendency to be drawn towards reactive engines and Fold waves. The problem is that the military plans to use Ranka as a decoy to repel the Vajra, and – speaking not as a superior officer but as an older brother – Ozma asks Alto to protect her. After Alto leaves, Ozma discusses with Canalia how Ranka’s memories will return and worries about the next situation that will trigger them. Thoughts of protecting Ranka weigh heavily on Alto’s mind as he walks away from the hospital, and he remembers how Ozma had once asked him what he wanted to do and why he was fighting. He notices that Ranka’s image is now plastered everywhere, and she’s what everyone seems to care about. Sheryl, on the other hand, has been relegated to the bargain bin. By this time, Kuran has gotten a response from her friend about the medicine that Mikhail was asking about. It turns out that it’s a receptor blocker medicine used for a certain illness, but it only relieves the symptoms instead of curing the disease. Hearing that its side effects are fever, vomiting, and chills reminds Mikhail of how Sheryl had experienced all of those, and Kuran explains that it’s a V-type infection which is acquired through blood or body fluids.

Kuran then does some research and finds an article from an issue of COSMO NATURE about the management and prevention of the V-type infection. The authors were from the 117th research fleet: Mao Nome, Ranshe Mei, and Grace O’Connor. If this weren’t surprising enough, Kuran also digs up a patient report that includes a picture of a child who bears a striking resemblance to Sheryl. As if on cue, the real Sheryl suddenly appears. After they tell her what they’ve learned, Sheryl begs them not to to let Alto know, and she insists that she’s fine before running off. Mikhail knows what’s at stake though and honors her request only to a degree: he still calls up and has Alto search for Sheryl, but he doesn’t tell Alto the reason why. Sheryl is at this moment stumbling around in the rain thinking about everything Grace had said to her when her attention gets drawn towards a television broadcast of Howard Glass holding a press conference about how Ranka’s voice will be used against the Vajra. The contrast of Ranka on the big screen and herself – as represented by a torn poster of her lying on the ground – causes Sheryl to start crying, and she doesn’t stop until a person that she thinks is Alto appears in front of her. It is actually Yasaburo, and he decides to take her with him. The real Alto manages to find them right as they get into a taxi, and Yasaburo tells Alto to come to the Saotome home if he’s worried. Alto tries to protest, but he’s distracted by emergency mobilization orders from the S.M.S.

They are mobilizing because the Vajra are attacking again, and with many of their weapons ineffective now, the Frontier forces have a hard time fighting. The turning point comes only after Ranka enters the battle aboard the König Monster and starts singing. Given this chance, Leon urges Howard to go ahead with their plan, so Howard orders the initiation of the super-long-distance Fold. As Ranka’s singing continues to keep the Vajra at bay, Brera protects her and vows to continue doing so. What eventually destroys all the Vajra is the firing of the main cannon of the Macross Frontier’s Battle Frontier, and the Frontier fleet then makes the Fold jump. This is successful, and there are no more Vajra to fight, yet Ranka decides to continue singing.

Preview

If I thought episode 16 was frustrating to watch, then this wasn’t much better. Ranka is still being used – in fact, she’s now volunteering herself for it – Sheryl is as depressed as ever, and Alto is still useless. On the plus side (kind of), we do know more now about Sheryl’s background (found on the street by Grace), her health problem (V-type infection), and the connection Grace has with Ranshe Mei and Mao Nome (worked together on V-type infection research). Because of that last one, Sheryl’s cure might lie in Ranka or the Vajra, or conversely, Sheryl herself may turn out to be the key to all this, whether it be instead of or alongside Ranka. The new OP certainly makes it seem like they’ll both be in the thick of things.

I have to say, however, that I had a hard time sympathizing for Sheryl this week. Yes, she’s getting the short end of the stick currently, but I think of her as a very strong character, so I just don’t see this lasting and fully expect her to recover, especially now that she’s already been through a series of depressing episodes. It’ll probably only take a little help from Alto, Mikhail, and/or Yasaburo. Speaking of which, I’m starting to wish that Alto would just make up his damn mind. One moment he’s all about protecting Ranka, the next it’s all about Sheryl, and then he’s back to Ranka again. Earlier in the series it made sense when he was swinging one way or the other, but now it’s gotten both too frequent and tiresome/frustrating because it doesn’t feel like he’s made any progress in either direction. And given Alto’s nature and the pacing of the story, I’m not expecting him to make up his mind anytime soon either. Then again, maybe the accelerating of destinies and desires hinted in the preview means something will finally happen next week.

  1. Thanks for the summary. I am in complete agreement with you regarding Alto. His indecisiveness is frustrating me already. Make your mind up already! There is only 25 episodes of this series, and we’re already at 18.
    I wouldn’t like it if the anime decides to make him choose towards the end of the series, like episode 23+. This will just frustrates the hell out of me.
    UGH . . . I can’t wait for next week.
    Saw the episode raw already, will not even bother watching the subbed version. It’s just one of those episodes that made me mad watching it. And no, I am not exaggerating. Looking forward to next week’s episode. ^_^

  2. now that I claimed my rightful place as first xD
    I can give a proper comment.

    *ahem* I like the new opening, but it’s kinda takes all the attention from Alto (*cough* the main character *cough*) and gives it to Sheryl and Ranka. >__>

  3. I thought the scenes with Sheryl were heart breaking. She’s really getting a beating these last few episodes with this ep. being the worst for her. Well in the beginning it was all Sheryl, with Ranka getting the beating and being the underdog. Now it’s the reverse, Sheryl is the complete underdog and Ranka is the one getting the attention. Interesting since many said Sheryl would never be an underdog.

    I really feel for Sheryl (Klan does too). Of course, she will make a comeback. She is Sheryl Nome afterall. 🙂 But that doesn’t mean one can’t sympathize with her and the pain she is going through currently.

    She will probably remain down the next few episodes, but I expect her super move somewhere around episode 22. Should be amazing.

    zalem
  4. I don’t get it, because someone will overcome their issues it’s okay not to feel badly they go through them in the first place? I think in the end it’s going to take a lot to get over the whole dying and being betrayed by Grace thing.

    As for Alto protecting Ranka, he’s always wanted to protect her mostly because Brera was beating him. It was less about Ranka and more about his ego imo. Here he is being asked to protect her because Ozma asked him to.

  5. About Alto, he indeed isn’t a character that is developed properly at all. He is just beating about the bush, going between sheryl and ranka. in fact i dun think he has changed much seen the beginning of the series.

    ALthough ranka’s songs are certainly above average, it feels lacking to me as it is too simplistic. I prefer sheryl as her songs just have more emotion in it. I seriously hope Sheryl makes a good comeback.

    With Alto’s brother taking sheryl, then what does it mean, she will do kabuki? I really want to hear her songs again. The lack of her songs are depressing. of course, there is the op and ed are suppose…

    Saggitarius
  6. Klein… so… cute….

    … and so it’s true that Sheryl has a Vajra-connection too. Guess Roy Mustang’ll have to take his shipping war elsewhere. 😉

    But for those who are feeling that Sheryl’s going to ‘win’ in the end, may I point out that Alto’s still in his ‘can’t decide’ mode, so it’s anyone’s game at this point. Plus, up until Episode 12 we saw Ranka in Sheryl’s position (ze underdog), so it could change at a moment’s notice. However, Sheryl IS now going to be the one pulling the comeback just as Ranka did in Episode 12.

  7. The new OP is alright. I would have liked a little more action injected into it. As for Alto. He is probably my least favorite main out of all the Macross series/OVAs.

    50% OFF, you’re toast, lady. AltoxMirror forever.

    Steve Keys
  8. So that is why you said that particular episode number.

    I read it too … that is why I am refraining from posting Ranka spoilers.

    Also some people are talking about Alto and character development but Alto is what he is, someone that is running away if you do not figured out by know he is trying to escape his “fate”.

    Alto will develop the moment he deals with that but I am not against characters being what they are, “development” just for development sake a idiotic notion.

  9. @Saggitarius
    About Alto, he indeed isn’t a character that is developed properly at all. He is just beating about the bush, going between sheryl and ranka. in fact i dun think he has changed much seen the beginning of the series.

    I don’t really get this complaint since most love triangles aren’t solved until the end anyway, as in the final episode. Alto has changed, he’s actually regressed the last few episodes, becoming more frantic and annoyed at how things are going. I think he needs to have a breakthrough moment where he figures out exactly why and for who he is fighting for. Right now he’s running away from his family, being beaten by Brera, and doesn’t know what his future should be.

However, Sheryl IS now going to be the one pulling the comeback just as Ranka did in Episode 12.

    Obviously. But underdog talk to annoying, but I don’t think you can compare Ranka’s bitter cookie eating to finding out that your whole life is a lie and that you are dying. As of right now, I don’t see Ranka x Alto happening becuase Ranka already did her ‘comeback’ as you called it and it didn’t lead to anything. Sheryl and Alto still haven’t had that moment when they are honest with each other. Once Alto figures out who he likes, I think it’s pretty much going to be over.

    I also gotta love Klan in this episode, and I think we can kill the notion that Michel is a Ranka x Alto shipper. 😀

    nelly
  10. Good OP, but a tad many re-used bits. luv the song tho. also like Kuran’s part when she asks if it is wise to keep things from Alto. Sheryl’s showdown with Grace was enlightening, and then we have Alto’s brother, forcibly making Alto to return to the Saotome Residence if he is concerned about Sheryl…

    Grace, Mao and Ranshe… all those years back.

    Sales !!! and Cathy wins !!! finally we get to see Battle Frontier, too.

    hmm only 25 episodes? ….

    tonbo
  11. Yeah, so much for Michel being the RankaxAlto shipper and disliking SherylxAlto.

    “I can’t tell you the reason, just go. Or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

    I’m not saying Michel doesn’t support Ranka. I think he likes Ranka and Sheryl and probably wants Alto to just make up his damn mind (like all of us do).

    zalem
  12. This is getting good. ^_^ I have a feeling Ranka and Alto will not be able to connect for a while again for the next several episodes, that is until the latter finally figures out how to properly answer Ozma. To think they’ll pull the death card on Sheryl’s side. I still have no idea how they’ll get the cure in the end, but I don’t think Sheryl will die. We’ll get a happy ending. As for Alto being indecisive, I think it’s just a ploy by the writers to create some good drama since last episode seems too concrete. I can never hate Alto for being such a two-timer as much as I can never hate Brera for acting like Kaifun lol It makes the romance part interesting, but I do get why people are getting tired of it.

    New OP- Best. OP. Ever. It has Brera slash! Alto, RankaxAlto, RankaxAltoxSheryl, SherylxBrera? (I could’ve sworn I saw Brera’s cybernetic arm there) The gothic feel of Ranka’s mirror at the beginning also reminds me of VK. The whole OP seems to tell a story. I love it. 🙂 It looks like BreraxRanka, SherylxAlto again next week. Oh the irony.

    ani_d
  13. I stopped watching this series when they focused too damn much on the romantic bullshit instead of the actual story. I’m not watching a drama, it’s a mecca Anime for fuck sake. Get over the relationship bull-crap and move the fuck on.

    Patapon
  14. I love Lion!! Awesome animation great song!
    Very cute Ranka mirror scene with Sheryl.
    After listening to it 5-6 times “Strawberry Panic” popped into my head though. Some images of Nagisa even popped up during Ranka’s parts.

    I’m also addicted to the full version of Northern Cross.. both songs match really well. Can’t wait for full version of Lion!

    I’m starting to regard Alto as a supporting character and only Sheryl and Ranka as the mains now.
    I’m also very sure Sheryl will stand up and sing again so I’m not really worried about her, while I am *very happy* that she’s now as important to the plot as Ranka. ^__^ Very very happy with this episode! Possibly one of my favorite episodes yet with lots of plot, great songs and a good battle scene topped off with Frontier folding.

    More random thoughts:
    -That Grace is SO EVIL!!! So heartless! WTFf is she planning? Now she’s someone who must DIE for making tools out of both heroines!
    -Klan wa chou-kawaii yo! XD
    -Michael was really nice too, all hail Michael x Klan!
    -Lots of Geass commercials during Frontier ^^
    -Leon hmm.. mushroom head.
    -Butt scene in the OP = WTF =_=
    -Sheryl is LOVE! <3
    -Sheryl version of Aimo = Do want! <3

    Yukiruchan
  15. I forgot…

    “What was that shown at the very end of the episode? A Vajra infestation of some sort on the Frontier?”

    That’s my speculation. It seems like an evolved form of Vajra too. I wonder if it’s being nurtured by Ranka’s voice. When the whole fleet of Vajra was wiped out, Ranka felt it though the vajra crystals in her. =/ I think Grace even betrayed the research fleet to support Galaxy’s ideals. I can’t wait for Ranka to regain her memory. Now that’ll be something. I want answers.

    ani_d
  16. i am praying that there’ll be a sub for this episode by tomorrow!

    and yeah, i wish alto would make up his mind. he’s playing safe too much! i mean he already knows that both ranka and sheryl likes him!

    btw, i like the new opening in terms of eye-candiness. 😀

    Eri
  17. The new OP is just awesome, keep re-watching it.
    It has to be one of the very very few OP’s that I don’t feel like skipping just to get to the anime, I really cannot wait to get the full song!

    *Still hoping for a Sheryl ending…*

    akitzuki
  18. “What was that shown at the very end of the episode? A Vajra infestation of some sort on the Frontier?”

    I think it is. But even if it’s not, we still have baby vajra Ai-kun.

    harby
  19. It won’t be decided till the last episode probably. I remember wanting to knock Hikaru upside the head when you got to like episode 30 or so in SDFMacross. Whatever the XMas episode was. But what makes MacrossF so good is because you have two singer, so you can’t say “oh, it’ll be like SDFM and he’ll be the non-idol.” But Sheryl getting saved NOT by Alto at the end was interesting. Alto development for sure next episode cuz’ he goes back home. He has to face his dad, face Sheryl, and face Ozma’s plee for him to protect Ranka, and most of all-what HE wants. But Macross is more about “what you are able to do” more than “what you want to do”, isn’t it? So what will happen I dun know.
    I think that either Sheryl WILL die (we haven’t had a death yet, and Ozma who was the #1 candidate avoided it) or she’ll turn into an enka singer!

    Naru
  20. Haven’t seen the episode quite yet, but I did stumble across some major spoilers on the ‘List of Macross Frontier episodes’ entry in Wikipedia. Hopefully future eps will hold some delightful surprises for Sheryl fans. Personally, I’d love to see Sheryl sing again – not to mention kick Grace’s butt while she’s at it.

    Spacehamster
  21. @sia- Sheryl’s DYING and she doesn’t want to tell Alto. Who in their right mind would not want to make it better for her? I should be laughing at Sheryl’s impending doom right now, but nothing’s coming out. Even for anime character, death is heavy.

    This episode is so dramatic compared to last episode. Alto’s too dumb to realize why he’d climb a building for Ranka, always has a soft spot for her, why he suddenly wanted to join SMS after her Aimo, couldn’t stop thinking about her in 14, why he’s pissed with Brera etc etc! If this is some plot device it’s vexing. Ozma should tear him to pieces if Alto chooses to stay by the dying Sheryl and let Ranka leave with the Vajra after all they’ve been through. *ehem* Go Ranka! 😀

    diva
  22. I personally loved the OP, I know they steered focus away from most of the other characters, but looking at the episodes coming up, it’s definitely going to revolve mostly around these two.

    And wow, Sheryl, cleavage man. If you look closely at the OP sequences, her boobs were almost, if not completely, hanging out.

    Lastly…I sense SherylxAlto ending flag.

    mochi
  23. @mochi:Sure if you pretend the last 17 episodes didnt exist. The hanging boobs are for the pervy fanboys. I’m also getting tired of Alto’s sudden change of heart. He’s more like a tool than a main character. Serve me my Brera next episode please!

    kikyokagome
  24. People, the Sheryl X Alto ending should be obvious by now. In the last episodes the only reason why it hasn´t happened already was by “interrupted by plot contrivance”.

    Two episodes ago it was Michael and that mission interrupting them in the Macross Quarter, this episode it´s Alto arriving a minute late. It´s coming, the writers just want to stretch it out until as much the end of the series as possible, to keep the love triangle a bit more alive.

    Next week could be it, although I think Sheryl is still charging up for her supermove. But I am sure we´ll get some good romantic interaction between the two.

    Magnus
  25. 1. I loved this episode. Rich with incident and implication.
    2. The new OP and ED songs bore me. I prefer the simple beauty of Nakajima Megumi’s less professional voice to flashy orchestration and fakey forced emoting. If I were a Vajra, I’d be done for, hearing my queen sing. The OP animation was enjoyable, though.
    3. Yes, Alto hasn’t made much progress, and hasn’t been developed much. I don’t mind him not being able to choose, but he seems so static in all ways. I still like him, however.
    4. If there were less romance and more mecha in this show, I wouldn’t be watching, myself.

  26. I find megumi’s voice lacking. It’s cute and certainly not bad, but it seems only suited to teenage pop idol songs. There is something rather flat about her voice. But she is really young and with time she will get better.

    Maaya and even May’n do a better job with Aimo though.

    zalem
  27. I don’t mind Alto’s apparent indecisiveness, probably because I don’t see everything in terms of romance. 😛 If Alto was really a girl and viewed Sheryl as a good but abrasive friend and Ranka as a little sister, his actions makes good sense. While there have been moments that hint at romance, I don’t think they’ve been developed enough for Alto to make a decision yet.

    Besides, for all we know it might be Alto who gets excluded from a relationship between Ranka and Sheryl. 😀

    Yoo
  28. WEll, there goes the Sheryl “clone” idea. Really now, where did people get this clone idea from? I always said I never saw any indication that that might be the case. Now we know that she was picked because of her virus infection basically.

    Now with things going more or less how I’ve thought I still believe that Ranka was a test tube creation and doesn’t have real parents or a brother. So that means I’m not 100% sold on Brera being her brother either.

    As for Alto picking, and why does he care about both. What’s wrong with caring about both? Really, you can worry about two girls (or more) and not have it be tied romantically to both. He could like/love one and care about the other one like a friend.

    This will all be worked out by episode 23 imo. That will leave the plot to be worked out in the final 2 episodes, so the triangle should come first, unless they want to tie in Altos choice with the final fight somehow.

    GP
  29. diva @ Sheryl’s DYING and she doesn’t want to tell Alto. Who in their right mind would not want to make it better for her?

    Didn’t you get what Mikhail said? Mikhail n klan agrees to keep it a secret but if they cant say it, they’ll SHOW it. The duo is trying to tell Alto something thru their actions.

    Don’t forget Sheryl’s Northern corss to Alto. It’s a song where she weeps. Sheryl will get Alto. The more she push him away, the more he’ll come back to her.

    sia
  30. I haven’t seen it yet but yay if sheryl is mao’s daugther! It is starting to look like ranka’s mum may have been the previous queen and who knows if grace back then was still a cyborg…

    But still how did Ozma know Mao? and wow that other macross class ship is huge….

    Violett
  31. Can i check if i am getting this right-
    in the photo – short purple hair woman = moa nome
    long green hair woman = ranshe

    but ranshe looks lika a spliting image of sheryl……….
    sheryl looks way more like the daugther of ranshe than mao nome………

    yukisami
  32. @sia-Yea that Sheryl is about to DIE and she doesn’t want to tell the one she likes. It’s the most human thing they can do for the dying without overstepping their bounds. Heh, I’ll even do the same thing even if I’m a big Ranka fan. Why are we debating about this? If you can see how fast that jerk Alto can change his feelings then you’d better hope the story doesn’t go back to Ranka’s troubles once episode 23 arrives. I have a suspicion that I’m going to rewatch ep 5-8(19-22) after the solid RankaxAlto in the very first 4 episodes 3 months ago very much like ep 17. Next episode looks like Bye Bye Sheryl all over again. Oh lawd. I’ll just stay tuned to more RankaxAlto hints in this Sheryl arc till the finale arrives.

    @yukisami-No Sheryl is not the daughter of Ranshe mei. She was just a pauper Grace picked up from the slums.

    diva
  33. Half the fun of reading these comments is the Ranka and Sheryl fans going at it like this. Me I think they both have their points. Alto is in full “We need to keep this story going as long as possible so make the main char as indecisive as we can” mode.

    SageGaiGar
  34. For me, a lot of the bickering between Ranka vs. Sheryl fans halves the fun (although some are truly entertaining). It sometimes makes me wish that Alto hook up with someone else entirely, like his big brother Yasaburo, who has been trying to lure Alto into a private setting where they can pursue a lovey-dovey homosexual relationship. 😛

    Yoo
  35. lol @ Diva, if this is 25 episodes *lights victory cigar*

    In 11 Alto had a flashback of him as a child with a paper plane and his mum before he choose to go with Sheryl to Gallia IV, now it seems his back story and development is tied to Sheryl. Ranka has zero interest in asking Alto about his past, Sheryl has asked ans looked around for info and is now at Alto’s home.

    Also your Alto joined SMS because of Aimo line is bullshit, he wanted to join before he talked to Ranka.

    Westlo
  36. @sealouse Hoho yeah man, that’s hot! I don’t mind Alto hooking up with Ranka, looks like this is how the story’s gon’ go anyway. Sheryl = Kabuki, Ranka = Pilot, choose your destiny! MORTAL COMBAAAAAAT

    Idlin
  37. @Westlo

    This show imo shows how male and female viewers see things different. Macross has always been geared towards a male audience so any new female viewers (and we both know who they are) just read things different.

    I don’t want to bang the Sheryl victory drum yet, but I do like her better.

    GP
  38. Uhmmm Omni I differ, there are some spoiler in the op (like a foreboding that Ranka possibly dies [when she’s tied by red laces and drowns]; that shot about Ranka’s mother [the girl with long green hair behind a mecha], the hinting that Sheryl will end up with Alto [when he’s butt Naked there are two triangles hers pink and alto’s blue triangle]) I admit it was catchy and all but there are hints XD

    … I just hope Sheryl stops being the ‘moe-me’ Girl soon she needs to stand up once again

    Ru
  39. @Ru- The lady tied by red laces with the burning triangles (creepy) is Sheryl. And don’t worry, I don’t think she’ll die. Ozma pulled through and he has bajillion deathflags. No main character is going to die, but I don’t know for the ones with really minor roles. Lots of Frontier people will die though, they’re irrelevant, that’s for sure.

    @SageGarGar
    “Alto is in full “We need to keep this story going as long as possible so make the main char as indecisive as we can” mode.”

    Exactly lol I think you can say this is the point where they confuse everyone. In fairness, if they really are going to push this death and this problem about Saotome household on Sheryl, then I can finally say that the SherylxAlto ending might be possible. Dying charries are always loved (even if I think Sheryl will be fine).

    However, I still have good faith that my little Ranka and her princess charming will get together at the end of the day. All those drama and development in Galia 4 won’t be for nothing. Something will come up. Plus, I have a feeling Alto will realize what Ozma really means later on. It doesn’t make sense how he’s telling Alto to protect Ranka, when her hot brother, I mean, Brera’s already doing it ala Kaifun. But besides that, I’m looking forward to another BreraxRanka scene next episode. ^_^

    ani_d
  40. With that history, it seems that Sheryl was not related to the Nomes at all… she was just given the surname probably by Dr. Mao. Now we know why Mao became a “doctor.” It might connect to the Zero storyline.

    Chino F
  41. lol… Ozma’s words will have no bearing on Alto’s decision. Kawamori himself on the love triangle…

    “Q2: Alto x Ranka X Sheryl, which way is the love triangle going?

    [Side comment translation reserved] Once Alto figures out how he really feels, expect it to move in a big way.”

    You should know what happens in 22, if not go read… the key scene should happen at the end of 22.. and if it’s 25 eps…. even 28…. Alto’s past development atm is tied to Sheryl and not Ranka.. atm the only worry is if they pull a Nia :p

    Thankfully AniMedia is getting a clue

    No matter how you twist it they have done next to nothing with RankaxAlto from 15-18, ignore the screen time, think of what they have actually done for that pairing. A few of us called the events of 12-14 out of place and just weird, the past 4 episodes are proving that right.

    No, I don’t know what ep22 is called, fill me in. I don’t actually go looking for mag spoilers etc 😛

    But that’s not really what I was trying to say to you. I’m just saying how guys and girls view the same scene or events in the same show different, for whatever reason.

    Cool scans. Well, aren’t we supposed to be getting the October issue for the last one this September? So basically, we have one more Macross F galores coming for the last 3 episodes, right? ^_^ Why are you so sure that SherylxAlto is a sure thing already just because of these new images when last month, it’s all about AltoxRankaxBrera <3. What are the odds that they’re misleading us for the finale? Aren’t you the one who’s so big on the LT winner looking like a loser till the very last minute? SherylxAlto ending miiight be possible now with her being stranded in Alto’s home and dying, I’ll say that much, but there’s no way that this will confirm the separation of AltoxRanka esp. if you look at the story from the very beginning to here, couple that with Ozma’s words about Ranka’s memory and protecting her.

    You call 12-14 out of place and weird just because there are ‘no’ development? lol Were you really expecting for a lovey dovey AltoxRanka moment when they’re together to prove that they’re getting somewhere? Their scenes are cute. They’re not pushing RankaxAlto’s romance to our faces, but when the time comes, they will. Episodes 12-14 are NOT weird and out of place, if you think it is, then you’re clearly missing the whole picture. 🙂

  44. 22 spoilers, translated by MaiHikari, I’ll remove the other stuff since it would spoil other events from the extended spoilers that just got released.

    Show Spoiler ▼

    18-21 is building up to 22… they won’t flush that down the drain in the last 3 episodes. And unlike Interstellar Flight, NC won’t be temporary 😉

    Westlo
  45. ani_d what separation of alto and ranka? They aren’t together… and please don’t say I’m missing the whole picture when you’re started to pin your hopes on BreraxSheryl…. lmao. Also I must say you hit that “no more sheryl focused episodes prediction” out of the ball park… this episode… next episode… and you look at the future titles…

    Oh by the way have you read the lyrics to NC yet? Still think Sheryl should sing DC instead ? 😉 And yes 12-14 was out of place, they rushed the development and make it look weak and at the rate they are going to get a rank ending they would have to do another 12-14 in the last 3 episodes… even if i was shipping for them I wouldn’t be happy with that…

    And no scans don’t matter, I’m just saying Animedia are finally getting a clue, and their scan last month was a trio pic.

    Westlo
  46. Of course the development between RankaxAlto will not be for nothing. If it wasn’t there then there would pretty much be no triangle. So it was necessary.

    I have to say ep. 18 has improved my outlook on SherylxAlto. I don’t think it’s a sure thing by any means, but the chances have improved. Especially with Alto going back home for Sheryl’s sake in the next episode. Plus Sheryl still has her super move around ep. 22. It still could go RankaxAlto or be unresolved though. One never knows…

    zalem
  47. @Westlo
    =_= BreraxSheryl? I’m pinning my hopes on them now? Okaaay….Why are you so proud of NC lyrics? It’s a very sad, emo song. “I wanted to end your planet, I wanted to slash apart your space” lol! “I scratched you out and made you a blur, but still I once loved how you laughed sweetly” It sounds more like a ‘getting over you’ song. Cool, she’ll sing this to him? That’s great since I want Sheryl to pick up a mic than be a pilot anyway.

    Anyway, let’s not do another shipping war here. I’m just saying that this new “Sheryl arc” much like last May doesn’t equate to your Sheryl ending for so many reasons. I have faith princess charming will figure out how he really feels near the end and things will move in a big way.;)

  48. new op is awesome, great animation and great song. Pity the full version won’t be out for another 12 days.
    although i love Ranka, i think in the end Alto will end up with Sheryll. I kind of see Ranka becoming the Vajra’s keeper or something of that sort, leading them to a peacefull coexistence with mankind.
    As the story progresses i see the Vajra no longer as the bad guys but just as much of a pawn in Grace’s game as everyone on Frontier. They are somehow being manipulated to attack the humans. Although, as someone suggested in a earlier post, why not a threesome?? LOL.
    And finaly seing the Frontier taking a more active role was great. I mean, the series is named after it and besides a couple of shots of it flying along it has hardly had a role in the story… other than, of course, being the place wher most of the action happens. But you get what i mean. Wonderfull 3D animation as usual in this series.
    I wish that this wouldn’t end in episode 25 but keep going for a second season. I don’t like Macross 7 as much and that one went on for 50 episodes. Frontier is way better in all aspects and should go on for a while, not to mention that i’m seing too many loose ends to solve properly in the 7 episodes that are left.
    And does anyone else think the Vajra at the end might be Ai-kun???

    and remember, pineapple cake saves lives. Say no to salad.

    “=_= BreraxSheryl? I’m pinning my hopes on them now? Okaaay….”

    Who said this…

    “New OP- Best. OP. Ever. SherylxBrera? (I could’ve sworn I saw Brera’s cybernetic arm there) It looks like BreraxRanka, SherylxAlto again next week. Oh the irony.”

    “Why are you so proud of NC lyrics?”

    Have you read them?

    “It’s a very sad, emo song. “I wanted to end your planet, I wanted to slash apart your space” lol! “I scratched you out and made you a blur, but still I once loved how you laughed sweetly””

    Of course it’s sad… she’s um you know… dying…

    “It sounds more like a ‘getting over you’ song. ”

    How does “I want your answer again” and “I’ll love you until I exhaust myself” sound like a getting over song?

    “Cool, she’ll sing this to him? That’s great since I want Sheryl to pick up a mic than be a pilot anyway”

    Check the title for 22….

    “I’m just saying that this new “Sheryl arc” much like last May doesn’t equate to your Sheryl ending for so many reasons. I have faith princess charming will figure out how he really feels near the end and things will move in a big way.;)”

    Being linked to Alto’s family back story > getting told to “protect” Ranka by Ozma… and I stress the protect… Also your #2 RankaxAlto shipper Michael betrayed you this episode 🙁

    Westlo
  50. @westlo
    -I’m too low tech to do IRC.
    -This is just what I notice, why is everyone suddenly dismissing that Michael doesn’t support RankaxAlto anymore just because he told Alto to go find Sheryl this time. If you’re thinking I meant this when I said Michael has been more of a Ranka supporter than Sheryl, then you seriously have twisted version of what I said–yet again. This is a life and death situation. Sheryl’s gonna die and he will just stand there and be all quiet? 😐 That’d be just wrong.
    -Alto’s back story is more like him getting back to Kabuki. I don’t want to throw speculations about this since it’s too early, but in terms of another reality check Brera seems to be doing the same thing on Ranka’s side:) So it’s even for Ranka and Alto.

    ani_d
  51. -lol irc is easy, take you 30 secs once you download mirc.
    -No they are making fun of you and other ranka fans saying that michael was displeased with the sherylxalto pairing when it’s obvious he wasn’t even before this ep.
    -no alto’s backstory is linked to his mum, his love for flying and resolving his issues with his family. You know the only time we have seen his mum in the series? It was before he decided to go to gallia iv with sheryl.

    Westlo
  52. Westlo has it. If you notice no one said that Michel no longer supports Ranka. I know I specifically said he likes both girls and wants Alto to resolve things. But we are pointing out that Michel is obviously not so “displeased” about SherylxAlto as some once believed. Though I questioned this so-called displeasure from the beginning, but this ep. just solidifies things.

  54. I really like this series and where it is going. Why, is it that the one series this season that I want more of is the only one that will only be one season. *cry* I would love a 2nd Season of this or a spinoff. Why do they make more, imho, crap like Gundam 00 & Code Geass. Sorry to those who like them but the stories for both have gone very much down hill and are of the ‘been there, done that’ kind. I really love the big picture take done in MF. It’s important without being overbearing like in other mecha shows. Oh, I’m a RankaXAltoXSheryl person myself. I would fund the OVA if they did this 😀

    Tadao
  55. Bobo-q. That’s becuz she is, doh!
    Who really thinks Sheryl will have her pineapple salad?? lmao this is pure joke thas why I can’t sympathize wit her. It was pure gangsta when Ranka entered the battlefield in Koenig and Galaxy posse to save the day. She’s a pawn right now. If she doesn’t stop this, she’ll be nothing more like Minmei the one dimensional brat of SDF that Hikaru dumped for Misa. I hate that. Ganbare Ranka-! Find yourself soon. This Macross romance is crazee. Vajra is disgusting. They’re infesting the fold reactor. Ewwwww…

    Kissu
  56. It’s 25 episodes. Stop dreaming. Sheryl will eat pineapple salad? Anyone who thinks so is dreaming too hee

    How strong really are Sheryl’s chances of nabbing Alto even if she fixes Alto’s issues with his dad. He still won’t do a Kabuki and will still be a pilot….This really doesn’t make Ranka more unworthy of Alto since the girl was proven to go as far as doing the unthinkable when it comes him and her feelings for Alto are real. This is something the story won’t just forget after making a big deal out of it. What’s fishy is that, after episode 14, their chemistry was back to normal. Total friends that asks for advices. Whatever happened to the sparkly eyes??
    Hmm….I’m not falling for this one, Kawamori. This reversal on Sheryl’s camp may be more to stir drama so that you can pull another episode 12 on us. After the pinecake too, I’m more paranoid about the twists and turns. Canalia said something about the next thing that will happen once Ranka regains her memory. Foreshadow foreshadow.

    Raven
  57. Sheryl is going to be tied to Alto’s family and his issues with his family either way, which is something Ranka can’t say. Those issues are something that is holding Alto back as well. I don’t see how anyone can say Sheryl going to his home isn’t significant.

    nelly
  58. @ kissu “Who really thinks Sheryl will have her pineapple salad?? lmao this is pure joke thas why I can’t sympathize wit her”

    Not only she isn’t going to die but she also will not stop singing… we will not be tricked twice!

    ” This Macross romance is crazee. Vajra is disgusting. They’re infesting the fold reactor. Ewwwww…” :)Don’t worry, sheryl could have a chance with Alto if she was really going to die but she will not. They will not end up together for sure, why ? : ” Our desperate meetings were always painful,I dreamed as if I could reach you, I reached out my hands recklessly,I wanted to open up to your heart, I wanted to build a rainbow bridge with you”…
    Why is she singing exclusively at the imperfect? she dreamed, she wanted,as if what she waned didn’t happen….. looks like she is singing a sad song which reflects Alto’s decision towards the love triangle.
    I already heard Sheryl’s fan claiming I’m saying nonsense and sia the first but,the
    “So I want the answer once more” is kind of disturbing. And you can notice that this sentence is in present. O^o This likely implies a negative answer from Alto or an amnesic Sheryl 🙂
    So before telling everywhere the ED is great because of the rythm… listen to the songs first it’s not that great for your pairing.

    @ Raven “What’s fishy is that, after episode 14, their chemistry was back to normal. Total friends that asks for advices. Whatever happened to the sparkly eyes??..This reversal on Sheryl’s camp may be more to stir drama so that you can pull another episode 12 on us”
    I think the same. They didn’t even end their growing relationship that suddenly Shery is making her move and she shares more time whith Alto ???… 🙂 honestly :This is putting me at rest.
    Looks like sheryl’s hope and dreams weighs a lot 🙂

    Kei
  59. During the commercial break, where Sheryl sings Aimo. Pretty nice. I think that with Alto’s brother, Sheryl will learn to actually perfect her craft of singing/performing versus the the hot chick idol thing she’s doing now. Learn to sign for yourself before you sing for others, or so the saying goes.

    Michael Bay
  60. “So before telling everywhere the ED is great because of the rythm… listen to the songs first it’s not that great for your pairing.”

    Actually it’s a rather good sign for the pairing since it’s Sheryl basically pouring out her heart to Alto with all the issues she’s going through and what they have been through. At the time she writes the song she probably is still under the impression that she’s dying. Even with Alto being as clueless as he is he should be able to figure out who the song is aimed at… and Sheryl might throw in an extra 4 words at the end of the song just in case 😉

    “It’s 25 episodes. Stop dreaming. Sheryl will eat pineapple salad? Anyone who thinks so is dreaming too hee”

    You think they would’ve learnt their lesson from Ozma.

    “How strong really are Sheryl’s chances of nabbing Alto even if she fixes Alto’s issues with his dad. He still won’t do a Kabuki and will still be a pilot….”

    He won’t go back into Kabuki… but he can patch his relationship up and at the same time we can get some back story on him about his passion to fly and his mother. Sheryl is linked to this, not Ranka.

    As for the other stuff it would be horrible writing if they pulled an episode 12-14 on us for 23-25 especially considering how 22 should end.

    Westlo
  61. Ohhhmygod! What is wrong with Alto?! He was making a big fuss screaming “RANKA RANKA RANKA” everytime and getting angry at Brera for stealing his job, but when he was finally asked to protect Ranka he suddenly felt RELUCTANCE? He looked at the fake sky again. Planet Galia and its genuine atmosphere was wiped out and he didn’t even mourn that the the beatiful sky is a goner, all he thought about was Ranka this Ranka that. What’s with this shyznit reluctance?
    “Dear Alto,
    Poor Ranka went to Galia 4 for you, wouldn’t be in this mess with Galaxy, wouldn’t be haunted by her past if she stayed on Frontier and played idol with Elmo. She would’ve lived a normal happy life if she gave up on you. BUT SHE DIDN’T CoZ SHE LOVES YOU. Ozma’s even entrusting her to you, if you completely forget all about Ranka just because Sheryl appears to be dying now. I’ll slander and libel you forever! Vow to protect her, you jerk.”

    *breathes heavily* Alto reminds me too much of someone. Sorry for the rant. I hate Alto’s “amnesia”. Whatever Alto’s past is, Ranka loves him for who he is. Sheryl has to be stripped away of everything before she can finally realize that she only needs Alto. Ranka has been appreciating Alto since day one. Noone can ever criticize Ranka for her shortcomings to Alto. More power to her. >( That Alto…his last shot in this episode, he even looked disturbed by Aimo. Argh.

    Cari
  62. Yay,I love the new OP. I’m one of those who thinks that Sheryl’s gonna survive to the end of the series and goes back to singing. Also, S&A ending is looking so much brighter now than ever.:D

    Browniekat
  63. i feel bad for sheryl but i really do not like her character.
    she’s an attention grabbing cry baby.
    she wants alto all the attention to herself.
    ranka is the one who had a past that was so traumatizing she can’t even remember
    and she was the one who put in the effort to become famous
    and didnt have graces help from the beggining.

    im sorry to any sheryl fans.
    i just hope she dies soon

    lelouchislife
  64. @lelouchislife – Sheryl is okay-ish to me, but she doesn’t look like she’s going to die.
    @Ru – The 2nd OP had more visibly blatant Ranka and Alto elements in it more than Sheryl. Finally we know why Ranka has a large projection of herself in Triangular guiding Alto’s VF upwards. It was episode 14. Did someone translate Lion’s OP in English yet?

    Yese_e
  65. Cari @ “Dear Alto,

    …..Ozma’s even entrusting her to you, if you completely forget all about Ranka just because Sheryl appears to be dying now. I’ll slander and libel you forever! Vow to protect her, you jerk.”

    in other words, u want Alto to spend his whole life repaying Ranka for one event in Episode 12, even if he may love another woman.

    How about no.

    sia
  66. Ranshe Mei is Ranka’s biological mom. She got green hair from her mom. Ranshe and Ranka have the same condition. The Queen Vajra in Galia 4 WAS Ranshe and she was stuck in that research fleet until Ranka arrived. She wanted to pass the Vajra song to her daughter. That Vajra was Ranshe Mei–It was in the credits even. It all makes sense don’t it? Damnnn, Ranshe was so hot too…

  67. I didn’t read all the comments but I missed something…

    @stray ” we’re mostly from AS forums thought so it *might* be a bit Sheryl centric… although relatively open minded”

    I dropped by and though… is it a joke ? This can’t even be called Macross forum but Sheryl’s Macross forum.
    All Ranka’s fan got kicked out over there…it must be pretty boring to even post there knowing you all have the same opinion. Some websites even point out your so called open minded forum… I know now why some post here are so subjective, I’m not speaking of you but of your community…

    @ Westlo “Actually it’s a rather good sign for the pairing…what they have been through”
    Ok it works until she says “So I want the answer once more” as if she isn’t speaking of the past anymore, as if she already know the answer now.

    “As for the other stuff it would be horrible writing if they pulled an episode 12-14 on us for 23-25 especially considering how 22 should end”
    If the serie keeps with the 28 episode the altoxsheryl developpement 18-22 here is a clue for a rankaxalto one from episode 24-28 .

    @ cari @lelouchislife Well,sheryl will not die . They want to keep us in the dark with this plot but it becomes more and more obvious 🙂

    Kei
  68. I think that it is interesting that I’ve heard people talk about how indecisive Alto is regarding Sheryl and Ranka, but I can’t help remembering what a bumbling twit Hikaru was concerning Misa and Minmay. I think the Hamlet-esque hero is keeping with Kawamori-san’s reflection of the original Macross in Frontier.

    Crusher Joe
  69. @Rjik
    I hope you’re wrong, but the more I think about this, the more I think you’re right. =_= Besides, what’s that thing doing inside the 117th research fleet, projecting the same image of Ranshe to Ranka? Some random Vajra? How did that Vajra find them anyway? It would be just too good to be true if the crystals inside Ranka has no after effect on Ranka’s body. There has to be a catch here. I think the more she exposes herself to the Vajra, the more she’ll become like a Vajra, and exposing Ranka to the Vajra is what exactly is Grace doing. She’s like activating those crystals inside her. This is all speculation though. But ugh, it’s so unsettling cuz it fits.

    Ranshe might have mutated or something. She even left a will to her daughter in 14. If the queen Vajra really is Ranshe, Alto just killed Ranka’s mom lol! He should end up with her now as retribution j/k

    @sia
    Of course not. Ranka said she came to Galia 4 on her own whim. Alto should not feel guilty about it. ^_^

    @Cari
    You crack me up…

  70. Cari your post was unintentionally hilarious, thanks 🙂

    Actually I’ve been saying this on IRC for the last few days that it’s now boring as fuck.

    “Ok it works until she says “So I want the answer once more” as if she isn’t speaking of the past anymore, as if she already know the answer now.”

    Well lets see how they get to the first time anyway, possibly next episode 😉

    “If the serie keeps with the 28 episode the altoxsheryl developpement 18-22 here is a clue for a rankaxalto one from episode 24-28”

    Even with 28.. the plot’s going to get in the way of that…. and if they start to push the ranka side than it will only be for what I call the “fake out” to jeep fans guessing. Original Macross did it, ef did it, True Tears did it, lots of romance shows do it.

    Westlo
  71. Let’s see here…..using M-Fontier’s timeline from ep.18, my theories say this !

    So in 2047, 3 doctors (Mao, Ranshe, and Grace) investigated Vajras and V-virus in 117 fleet.

    In 2048/2049 (according to Ozma), Vajras went berserk. Many survivors from 117
    fleet went to Galaxy’s fleet, including Grace and Brera. They who were inffected by V-Virus spread to all Galaxy’s fleet. That why, Sherly got that V-Virus.
    Meanwhile, Ranka went to Frontier because Ozma saved her. He knew about Ranka’s family.

    In 2053, Grace found Sherly to be a Fairly9 project. Sherly’s body looked like 6 or 7 years old. Year in Fontier 2059, Sherly looks mature although she is 12 or 13?
    She….. looks like “Dolly” (you know the sheep)? Instant not nature? Fast to grow up? WOW…amazing!!!!

    llie
  72. Sheryl’s cure might pop up once Ranka regains her memories or Luca does something. When, episode 22 is my bet. Alto’s inuyasha traits, contrary from ep 14 to last episode, just goes to further prove that he’s going to fully protect Ranka in the very end. He and Sheryl might get little closer, but it’s pushing it if we’re to expect that Sheryl is going to replace Ranka’s importance to Alto. She means a lot to Alto according to ep 14 and even before that.

    @Rjik If Ranka is going to turn into something she’s not i.e. a Vajra, this’ll even strengthen the RankaxAlto end. Alto will not just sit there and let everything transpire absolutely. I like your assumption however. The Vajra Queen might have been Ranshe.

    daemon
  73. I thought it was really sad seeing Sheryl in this episode but it was pretty cool that it was a Sheryl episode since you get to see some of her past which is pretty surprising what she went through, Good Luck Sheryl =D

    AzNStyle
  74. How exactly would Alto stop Ranka from turning into a Varja queen if that was her fate? Alto’s a regular human being who’s just a pilot and a former kabiku actor… he doesn’t have any special powers…

    And I think people are confusing Alto’s desire to protect with love when it comes to Ranka, and being “given” the task of protecting someone (who shouldn’t need that anymore) kinda conflicts with him searching for what “he” wants to do with his life.

    Westlo
  75. Wow, I bet Sheryl wished she wouldn’t have helped Ranka gain confidences now doesn’t she. I can see, Alto’s brother finding the cure for Sheryl in return for Alto’s returning home or even making him act more.

    I am just currently waiting for the near death scene of Alto, because we all know it’s going to happen.

    Silentveil
  76. Boohoo like Shrley will die. :)) What difference will it make if Alto chose to protect Shryel instead of Renka? Like his VF will make the V-virus go away. Who is he going ta protect Sheryl from? Galaxy doesn’t care about her anymore. :DDD Renka needs more protectin. Viva la Renka!

  78. It said that V-disease is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. Bodily fluids can be water, urine, tears, saliva! How about kiss?

    In episode 10…Alto…what happened with you *Cry*. I hope Ranka can cure you!

    llie
  79. I was thinking the same thing when I watched this episode. So does that mean Alto will die in the end? If so, I hope he doesn’t infect Ranka. That will be the only way I would say no to altoxranka. 🙂

    Morhea
  80. Uh, bodily fluids transmitted disease is not passed through kissing. Think of Sheryl as someone who has AIDS. That’s her situation hahah Now let’s see how many Sheryl fanboys will still want to sleep with her after learning this.
