Yes. But I just beg you to extend your observative range a little bit. We don't see his face when he is lying but I can accept your assumption that he looks away. However, he doesn't look at Ranka's eyes even before he lies. That is why I say he must be a prophet to look away from Ranka because of guilt: he knows he would lie before he is put a situation he needs lie.

What people connect to in a song is not the singer themselves, but the elements in the song that relate to their own lives. Nor is that connection unconditional; Sheryl's fans love her because she entertains them, not simply because she is who she is. No amount of popularity can ever be a substitute for close interpersonal relationships. I never said that Ranka is a spoiled brat. Is this the reason why you're suddenly going out of your way to slander Sheryl? Quote:
Sheryl doesn't say anything about doing only that one autograph. Her point is that she takes these requests very seriously, and pours her emotions into each one. That's what makes it personal. By not frivolously giving out autographs, she ensures that she does each individual fan justice. Just the Alto tag will suffice. After all, this thread is about the Princess and his Queen.

Kidding aside. I always like how you reason things. You know how to think what I can feel but don't know how to think, and you know how to word what I can think but don't know how to word. This time, I especially like how you take the autograph entry. Back to the time I read this entry, I was touched but didn't know why. You pointed out a way so now I can get a better understanding of the event and Sheryl as a person.

I just don't think Alto deserves the kind of descriptions ani_d has been providing as of late. C'mon mate, you are willing give him so much credit for his caring, for his meticulous management of people's emotions and other 'sophisticated' characteristics, when in reality, these characteristics are pretty much non-existent. Not that Alto being excessively easy to read helps any. You kept on citing examples from the 'ticket' incident to the 'greeting' gesture respectively from episode 6 and 10 as somewhat of a testament to Alto's awareness of Ranka's jealousy. Yet, the way I see it, he treats his friends pretty much the same way. Thats just who Alto is, he is not overly sophisticated, period.
And at the same time, it would seem Sheryl somewhat 'lacks' your careful analysis even though she has proven to sport a deeper personality that you are willing to acknowledge. Then again, you are Ranka-biased, what can I say Quote:

Having a friend is nice and all, but love from your true fans, all those real feelings, does Not fall short to it. This is something Sheryl should realize if ever she starts going 'woe is me I don't have friends'. Doubt she'll end up like this. Quote:

I have to ask you ani_d, have you tried to think things through from Alto's point of view? We know you like Ranka. I'm fairly certain if you were the main character, you would go for her. But consider Alto's past, his personality, the reactions he gives off to everyone and everything, and try to see how he himself might go. There is NO romantic undertones in his scenes with Ranka 1v1. There are NO flirting, from either of them towards each other. There is no instances where he takes Ranka somewhere out of a whim. Look at the earring scene with Sheryl the middle of Episode 6. He's leaving for battle, with the possibility of never returning(his first true battle). Does he go visit Ranka? Does he even tell her he's leaving? Does he do ANYTHING for her? Even Ranka admits to herself, that she had no idea her brother and Alto were leaving somewhere. She also realized that Sheryl knew. Even with the realization that she knows NOTHING about Alto, she hasn't done one thing to change that so far. She's really going to have to change if she's going to have ANY chance at grabbing Alto before Sheryl gets him. Unless Nanase comes up from behind and takes him away. |

Ani_d's a chick guys, it must be hard for her to relate to Alto j/k
When they start flying around for Sheryl's performance Michael says don't fall in love with her while she singing. Alto immediately goes only you would do that.. 2 panels later.. "But... he isn't actually wrong... well me to". Combine that with him thinking "She handles the unexpected well" and than telling her "you're pretty incredible". ("Of course just who do you think I am" she replies) and his first impressions of Sheryl are great compared to the anime. Quote:

Reread what you didn't quote from me and realize the difference, I mean you gotta love what happens when he gets the alert message from SMS straight after they announce Galaxy is under attack. A few of us were talking about this in #Gattai after episode 5... even us Sheryl fans thought that was harsh on Ranka.. Not even a bye and off he runs to Sheryl, no press conference he just runs straight to her. 2 pages later he's "stunned" when Sheryl is "glowing" when talking about how the earring was from her mother. 2 pages after that he has the most content look I've seen on his face in the entire series after Sheryl lends it to him. And than after he leaves as Grace asks if they should cancel the concert Sheryl does the "I can't give into my depression while a certain idiot is risking his life. If a pilot's job is to fight than my job is to sing!!" line. |

^ I did not realize that ani_d was a chick. That makes complete sense then why she can't understand Alto(or us guys in general) then.
My apologies for sounding harsh if I ever did ani_d. I didn't mean it. Please understand though, that men think vastly different than women do. Hormones, thought processes, physical traits, everything is different with us. Some men might have feminine features or emotions, but as a general rule, we are very different. VERY different. On a different note, I most definitely have to get the manga now. I'm really liking some of the changes vs the anime. |

Of course, being a Ranka fan, this means ani_d is willing to forcefully make connections between Ranka and nearly everything that Alto does, while the rest of us simply see basic hormone at the works. - Tak |

I'm a woman and my opinion for Alto pairings = Sheryl > Ranka.
Some of you interpret Alto as changing/being different whenever he's with Ranka, I see him holding a big part of himself back whenever he's with her. If Ranka stuffs up something along the way, the tsundere side of Alto will always flare up but he'll quickly back down and apologize. Someone as sensitive as Ranka deserves someone who can take care of her, and Alto has about as much sensitivity as a block of wood. It's different for Sheryl if Alto and Sheryl were together (if she wins his heart). If Sheryl stuffs up something along the way, Alto won't back down from his insults and bitch at her. Fortunately for Sheryl, there's 99.9999% chance she'll bitch right back at him and slap him around like how you would a spoiled Hime and together, they'd bitch at each other to hell and back, which is good you see, because it just means great, steamy make-up sex. There, another reason why I like Alto x Sheryl = coz it's damn hot. Those are my reasons for shipping Alto x Sheryl. Carry on. |

To touch further on this, in order to have a romantic relationship, you have to have some sexual tension(not necessarily have sex itself, but sexual attraction). Especially if you are a male. Any Ranka fan think that Alto right now can see Ranka in that way? |

There was an article that I saw yesterday on Google News that said gay men and straight women had similar brains, while straight men and lesbians had similar brains... I dunno, I don't really think that men and women really think that differently at all; but other intangibles cloud the issues just the same. |

If you truly believe that men and women don't think that differently, you haven't looked into very many marriages and relationships. Not only are the hobbies different, but the personalities, even the roles are generally different. Yet they are consistent with the way men and women think. There are always exceptions, but this is a topic where the liberal way of thinking that men and women are the same, is a complete lie. We're equal, but very, very different. |

"Him looking for her in the crowd in episode 1" Give me a break, its only normal to wish someone well even if you met that person for the first time. Certainly Alto did not dwell on that feeling very long. How romantic is that?! "Volunteering to take part in the movie to get Ranka more screen time" He initially refused because the director also wanted him to dress up like a woman! Seeing how the production was halted because a certain actor did not want to go underwater, getting Alto to substitute was the fastest and most efficient choice. Unless you have a better idea to get the production going without using Alto, the only male on the set to resemble the actor playing Shinn. "Carrying her down the mountain" What was he supposed to do? Leave her up there? Quote:
