As usual, we have different opinions since I totally found RankaxAlto moment here adorable. I posted a similar response in the Alto thread so I'll just repost
Spoiler for Alto Saotome thread discussion:
I don't see anything inconsistent between Alto's attitude in 13 due to reasons stated above. Before Sheryl got in the picture in 5, the first four episodes served as a ground to establish Ranka and Alto's friendship. Ranka and Alto are shown to be mutually close with the texting/talking to each other most of the time. Brotherly feelings or not, he has a soft spot for her. Alto is also shown to be most content when he's with Ranka and vice versa. Also I don't think Alto and Ranka are in the "lovers mode" though. Whatever happened to them in that little moment of silence earlier on, it certainly doesn't equate to them being lovers. They just got a little closer than before. I prefer it better this way. Based on the vibe I got from SherylxAlto in this episode, Alto considers Sheryl as a good friend along with Michael and trusts them enough to rely on them. Sheryl, on the other hand, respects his feelings and bears no jealousy or whatsoever. Maybe she expected this already? Since she knows Ranka has a thing for Alto too. It's also nice to note that she didn't think anything of him leaving Galia 4 with Ranka--just pure concern when she found out that something might've happened to them. I never saw Sheryl being emo, always talking about Alto during her search with Michael anyway. This behavior of hers definitely is giving her character some justice. From what I see, there are no pitiful "underdog" in this episode. Quote:

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same part, but Michael's question was "Is this the strength of a woman?" seems to specifically be directed with respect to Sheryl's concern for Alto (not to say that the strength of a woman need be limited to the context of her romantic interests, but his next implications seem to follow those lines). That's why when she replies by insisting that she's just doing what needs to be done, Michael tells her that she isn't honest. That's the lead in to Michael's musings on the girls around Alto and about how stubborn they are.
Hopefully that should clear it up for you. |

I have to admit I found our minds work totally. It seems you need characters boardcast their thoughts so you can understand what they think. You don't read the one second hesistation before Sheryl answer Alto's request? It doesn't like she feels nothing, it's she knows what is more important. Also, Alto sees Ranka is the one must be saved, but it doesn't matter by whom. He doesn't ask Mikhail and Sheryl to hold Brera so he can save Ranka with his own hand. What this implies? I think, YES, he thinks Sheryl a friend, he thinks Ranka also a friend. He isn't biased towards Ranka. If he really thinks Ranka any more special than a friend, he would subconsiously choose to save Ranka by himself. Isn't it just an evidence how easy to get Sheryl embrassed whenever Alto is in question? I'm not sure if you're intentional or not, it sounds like you imply Sheryl may have a thing for Mikhail? Perhaps because I can't remember you have said anything alike when Alto makes Sheryl flush? Sorry to bring up older things, do you think they are at least equally cute when Sheryl blushes in ep5, 6, 8 and 10?

Anyway I don't feel like justifying my correlation, but I'm still shipping MichaelXSheryl. He's better for Sheryl than that bum Alto. Well, until Michael eats some pineapple salad, anyway. edit: better wording |

Who said Alto doesn't have a hero complex? This guy only wants girls (even his mommy) who can make him feel like a hero. Quote:
By the way, I am a LeonXRanka shipper. Because Ranka has thought she could't do anything, and Leon has done his best to make sure Ranka was correct. But when Ranka thinks she can do something, Leon steps aside to allow Ranka does whatever she wants to do. What a fantastic couple. RankaXLeon ftw. I'm kidding.

Why exactly does it have to be Alto/Sheryl/Ranka until the climax for the remaining 12-13 episodes? And what would be so bad about Sheryl ending up with Michael anyway, aside from the fact that she wants to be with Alto right now? Quote:

It's fine, but only so long as it gets developed, first. Why root for a pairing before the characters themselves want it? Lulz aside, of course. |

To suggest them as a possible pairing by you, is really silly. Do you remember episode 8, when Sheryl told Michael she didn't like easy men? She shot him down faster than Ranka could cry for help from Alto.

But in all seriousness, I do really kind of relate to Michael's personality, which is why I think there may be a spark of real feeling towards Sheryl there, as well as decided to start shipping it. I never said Sheryl reciprocated... all I'm saying, is to entertain the possibility. btw, Alto's death wishes for his father aside, I'm sure you get the gist of what I was implying when I said oedipal... |

I could see Micheal x Sheryl working. Yes when it comes to who Alto should end up with out of Sheryl/Ranka, I'm all for Sheryl. But I could see Micheal and Sheryl working together so long as he dropped the flirt act (and I do see it as an act. No way I'd like his character so much if that's what he really was. I find it amusing that I consider Micheal more of an actor round everyone else than Alto).

Will Ranka join the Guld club? If so lets hope Alto does a Myung and at least admits that it's Sheryl he loves more first...

To paraphrase Michael - Alto must have been hit by the pulse and is down somewhere Sheryl - I'm not sick anymore and I'm going to look for them, I don't need you since I can fly by myself Michael - Aren't you a good women (in regards to Alto) Sheryl - *blush* I mean geez he even mentions Alto and his difficult women right after that...

Just rewatched the last few episodes of Macross.
I find it amusing with Misa's way of expressing jealousy when she found out the photo album, leaving Hikaru's home with Minmay's life size posture turned upside down. Not long after, she 'forcefully' gives Hikaru an envelope full of her own photos to counter her jealousy towards Minmay. Of course, as usual Hikaru is confused with the photo gesture by Misa :P For some reason, these two scenes itself gives me an impression that Sheryl has the same temper as Misa's; exactly along the lines of what Sheryl may had done to express herself in similar circumstances. ^^; |
