Macross Frontier - Episode 21 Discussion / Poll

[LuMiZu]

Just curious what people think of the ending song =O

I thought it was pretty nice break from the cutesy themed Ranka songs. More on the emotional side, like DC. Though, I have to say, I'd still like DC more =O ( Especially after last epsiode).

[.Mero]

hmmz kinda a let down this ep. Could and should have been better
But since i could only understand half of it, might appreciate it more when i see the subs

[AlaAlba]

more and more "average" being voted ^^

[Haninozuka]

Spoiler for Ai-kun:

Is still alive, but he's growing pretty big and is still evolving.

idk what to say... well, kinda blank in the 2nd part of the eps.. so i'll wait for sub to give judgement.

[v1nx]

I have no words to describe my wish to see dead Ranka....
Every new episode is just made to hate her more and more

[Joachim]

lol... im getting kerrigan vibe with ranka.. well not exactly kerrigan but yea somewhat

[Key Board]

Ranka certainly dealt another super move

but I think she may have ran out of cards

speaking of which, Grace lost a precious card with the disappearance of Ranka Lee, unless she planned for this all along... which possible given how scary she has been so far...

Edit: I'm really warming up to Brera-nii-san, now. He might just overtake Ozma as my favorite male character

[FLCL]

get your firebats ready, its about to get heavy.

felt forced, im still rating it a 8/10, but tbh, almost anything pails compaired to last week. Kerrigan vibes indeed. maybe ranka will come out of a chrysalis and go become doom queen of the universe, oops she already is

Considering how close to SC Macross is becoming, my money is on garbobby pulling a tassadar with the macross quarter.

on a serious note, the Klan scene was great, that alone wouldve gotten a 9/10 from me, but the end was somewhat eh, so solid 8/10

Nah, Grace is just a master of adaptability, altering her plans on the fly as she goes along.

Doesn't Grace have a master override over Brera's cyborg body?
She can keep track of where and what they're up to, and force Brera to betray Ranka at a critical juncture if they start working against her plans.

I'd laugh at the irony if she has to beg/threaten Sheryl to return after writing her off as an expired failure in order to continue her project, but I suspect she already has what she wants from Ranka (and Leon).

What, no Ranka x Ai-kun shippers?

Spoiler for Ep. 21:

-Klan gets so scary :O
-Battle Frontier separation from the city
-Something that Luca says about Ranka and her song awakening the Vajra?
-Brother/Sister moment for Brera and Ranka
-They destroyed Island 3
-Aftermath where Leon he attended the funeral >:[
-Ranka says she won't sing anymore?(not so sure)
-Ai-kun got friggin big and kinda hatched
-Alto is about to shoot Ai-kun when suddenly Brera interfeared
-Looks like Ranka wants to get away from everything. (New song for the next Album maybe)
-Ozma and Cathy out camping in the ruined city

The ED song kinda feels like Ranka is out of the scene or something

Also not much Sheryl in this episode.

PS: The next episode title is: Northern Cross? seems they are getting the songs with the titles of the episodes this time.

[forgottendiary]

I hate myself for reading spoilers...but oh well. >_>

New here btw. Yoroshiku~

QUestion.

Now that Ranka's off to some remote place, are the Vajra going to continue attacking Frontier? Seems almost pointless at this point and Grace can't continue her research with this new development.

Which is why Grace will obviously want Frontier to follow Ranka...

I for one thought it was a good idea for Ranka to leave. This way she can do some soul searching and find her true self...

[D a m i e n]

Wow, crappy episode was really crappy.
I m not sure i ll be able to withstand the upcoming episode where Alto will be rushing to rescue ranka.
If ranka doesnt die soon, or worst if ranka ends up with Alto instead of Sheryl this will be the worst scenarised audioCD commercial i ll have ever seen.

Which probably looks like this:

Spoiler for Rankas final form:

[brainyscholar]

So my fear came true that Alto was chasing Ranka and not Sheryl. He forgot about his promise of coming back for her. I'm disappointed and subconsciously I knew all along that it's going to be Alto and Ranka, a pairing which I dislike. I feel sorry for Sheryl. Maybe she should go for Alto's brother; he seems to be a nice guy.

It doesn't bode well for a relationship if you bring a boyfriend home and the first thing he does is nuke your mom in the face with reaction weaponry, does it? Apparently, she survived. but still...

[brainyscholar]

Well, I'm going to quit watching this anime now and let ep 20 be the end of this anime for me. Unless there's a better ending to Alto x Sheryl, this anime is finished for me. I'm not even going to bother with the rest of the episodes. I feel sorry for Sheryl and that's all I can say.

Giving up so easily?

Just because she left doesn't mean anything. Sure she dealt another super move but it certainly doesn't have the same effect her earlier one had on people. That's in my case anyway, plus you're ruling out Sheryl completely!

As for me, this episode was all over the place. At some points it was good, at other points it was just awkward and rushed. Oh well... at least the ED song was decent, Klan rocked, and Ai-kun is still kinda cute.
