@OD: tl;dr
And, honestly, you do seem to rehash the same points over and over, while ignoring the bits that don't help your reasoning. I mean, who told Alto to visit Sheryl in episode 24, or earlier at the hospital? I sure as heck didn't see anyone. As for their "hiding" their relationship, I can think of several reasons, but I don't think there would be much of a point to it. After all, the show ends tomorrow, so... why bother arguing, when one camp or the other will probably be victorious beyond a shadow of a doubt then? <-- And, c'mon, do those eyes really look sad to you?

I might be misinterpretating the meaning of the above sentence. Are you agreeeing that "straight" males use "Ore" "boku" or that they don't? If you read it again, it sounds to me like you are saying that they wouldn't. you might want to place a comma after the "and not". Last edited by golthin; 2008-09-24 at 11:53. |

What I mean is that EVEN not straight male uses "ore", "boku" and all the manly interpretation of I. Yes, straight one uses "ore" and "boku" too. I'm not disagreeing with your post, just to make sure it would be clearer, hun.

Okay with pictures now.
>>>>>>I LOVE RANKA!!>>>>>>> Yeah, that's logical. Tomorrow will be fun. One way or the other. And for the last time, Bleach and Macross are not the same thing. Bleach is obvious, unless you are dumb or just don't like Ichigo x Rukia (which I didn't really when I read it years ago). Your view of Sheryl is warped. The chances of everything working out next episode for Ranka x Alto is slim to none. They have show a fundamental lack of understanding for each other, an inability to actually move forward even though there were obvious feelings there and a long separation where both have changed . If they couldn't work things out when they saw each other everyday and had feelings for each other what's the hope now? Their lives are different now and their small knowledge of each other is even smaller now. Then factor in Sheryl and their relationship. Not many are saying they didn't like each other, but it's over and done with. When she left and he didn't follow, she removed herself from the triangle. Blaming Sheryl's illness for him not leaving doesn't work. There might be a surprise Ranka x Alto ending, but it's highly unlikely given what we have been shown. The past is important, but you only think half of it (the Ranka half that is) is worthy of mentioning. The Alto x Sheryl past is about Ranka, too I guess. If Alto loved Ranka so much, had such blatant jealous, and can't stop thinking about her even when he has Sheryl's tongue down his throat, why aren't they together now? You either must think Alto is a total idiot, or a jerk. Take your pick. |

Love is not a charity, it never has been. I don't think that's the message Kawamori is trying to convey. That's why the LT didn't end in ep 21. That's why it's all the more important for Ranka to be saved and Sheryl to be curred. So Alto can properly give Sheryl an answer without Ranka being the enemy and her dying. Alto already answered Sheryl, but she wants these factors removed and hear his answer once again. (It's in Northern Cross lyrics too.) |

Note: screams of failure without saying why. Circular arguments about the way I phrased a sentence. or complaints about post length, instead of attacking my argument gives me a win by default
This is just a few of the many examples I have. I could show all day, but I won't. You will appreciate my genius when 25 airs Those pictures are to keep you from denying the truth Not that it will help much.Since DENIAL IS BIG IN MACROSSI don't like to post without evidence of my pairing. It's why I am legend in the Bleach forums. And I actually have a real reason to hate Orihime. I don't hate characters that are not a threat to my OTP. In this case it would be Sheryl Let's play game called...; Ask Alto... Okay let's play a game of "Ask Alto?" This came about because of two reasons. One I realized you aren't really paying him any attention. Alto is a straightforward guy he doesn't pull any punches. Two because of your responses when I said this Quote:
1. What was Alto doing at the time that prompted Michel to ask him that question? Aside from the Psychobabble . Let's just examine what Alto really meant when he said. "I have a promise to keep. It’s an obligation…More like my duty” Here is a guy who is beautiful. Cursed by that beauty, because he gets treated like a ...for lack of a better word "Bitch". He's primping in the mirror. Trying to look his best for the Ms. Macross Competition. Because a certain little green-haired loli told him "I know I can do it if you are there" (Or something to the effect) So Michel says this... "All dressed up...Date?" Alto's reply ..."I have a promise to keep. It’s an obligation…More like my duty” "I have a promise to keep..." But that wasn't quite right. So he said..."It’s an obligation…" But he doesn't feel obligated to her. So that was not quite right either. So he said "More like my duty”. What you guys are failing to realize is what Alto really meant by that statement. What he was saying was for him it IS NOT that trivial. Not a mere date. It's more than than that. He decided for himself that he'd be responsible for her happiness, for her protection, because he wants to! Seriously, All she has to do is call him and he comes running. Unless he cannot. Do you know how many examples I have of them on the phone?! *With Sheryl. Twice but on doesn't count because he didn't hear her.* Did you guys ever notice that both Ranka and Sheryl asked Alto a similar question but got different answers? Right then and there if he wanted to be free from the "Pressure of Ranka" he could have. Yet Sheryl gets a flat out..."You don't want to be with me? "NO it's a pain" On the other hand Ranka gets " Alto-kun I wanted to you to be the first to know *Thinks about seeing him with Sheryl* But I thought I shouldn't bother you... Alto: "Why are you still so hesitant?" What the hell?! You can't see a difference yet? No? ALTO'S BEHAVIOR Isn't this a picture perfect sight? Romantic and don't they look beautiful? Did you get past the looks and pay attention to ALTO? For one thing he's not happy to be with her. Look at him To add the icing on MY cake was this.. "oh Alto this is how we first met..." Alto's reply... " Let's GO BACK Are you happy now?" Damn that was cold he totally dismissed her. Look how unhappy he is because she says not yet? Click the thumbnails and watch his grimace. This looks like the beginning of a beautiful love story. NOT! Did you noticed that in all their moments it's usually shown from Sheryl's perspective or, Ranka, or Alto's mother plays third wheel? Alto's Sexual Awareness of Ranka Did you notice Sheryl didn't have on panties (above)Alto didn't bat an eye? However is Ranka's not wearing any panties he acts like this . We call this "Playing your position" "She tells him she will send him tickets to her farwell concert. He promises to come. She kisses him. He's shocked but as she walks away he gives her a tender look. She just played her position right there. She said "I'll be waiting" Looks like they are getting somewhere right? But what does Alto do? He ask Ranka out to said concert. Where Sheryl is waiting for him. Had he not had to go out on duty. He would have been there with Ranka. When asked about Ranka he does the reverse... *Episode 6*Again here...he looks uncomfortable and then lies about being with Sheryl. Why? And why did he lie? Why did he feel the need to lie to Ranka? How come he couldn't admit he was with Sheryl the day before? He could have just told her truth. . That's another thing he came to island with Sheryl but what does he do? "Where's Ranka?" <--looks for Ranka. After he finds her ...Ranka is on the Beach and where is Alto? ...right behind her worrying over her. The whole time he talks to Sheryl he only takes his eyes off of her once. CAUGHT WITH HIS HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR. Ever notice that when it comes to Sheryl, Alto always acts as if he's caught doing wrong? He is also quick to explain his actions. UNLIKE WITH RANKA...He turns his head and clams up and asks "Why do you bring Ranka up"... Except that one time with Sheryl, however his actions belied his words.<--lying to her as if he was a guilty boyfriend Here he does it on the Island. *episode 10* he looks uncomfortable and then looks at Ranka when She asks "Why are you here?" He immediately start explaining"It was an Order" *Episode 19* the triangler ...Sheryl falls on Alto<--For the umpteenth time (Like how many times is that going to happen?!) Ranka sees it. Look at his face. He does it again in *Episode 15* Here Quote:
After Ranka's rescue by Brera. When episode begins Alto sees Ranka FIRST. Coincidence? Why did he visit her first? "You're as beautiful as ever...;" He takes her to see Sheryl and then as they talk in the hallway. If you pay close attention to Alto from this point on... You can clearly see. Alto hardly ever. took his eyes off Ranka. Even when addressing Sheryl. He seemed to be trying to placate Ranka's feelings and not so much with Sheryl. His back was turned to her; most of the time he stared at Ranka or the screen which was playing Ranka singing When Sheryl' couldn't stand the attention Ranka was getting. She started singing (Trying to steal the girl's shine) Listen to the way Alto says Ranka. Every time Sheryl impressed him briefly Ranka outdid her... Do you realize in that moment Ranka was just as beautiful to him as Sheryl was? Alto guiltily looks at Ranka (Again) Not only this time but he does that quite frequently... *THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME ONE THE PHONE* [IMG=http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/5374/altowantstoseehertoo3kq9.th.jpg] Ranka and Alto are on the phone (They seem to do this a lot ) Ranka apologizes for not being able to visit him in the hospital. (When he saved Luca) Alto teases her and says "No one said you had to" Sounds cold right? However he adds "But as a newcomer aren't you being to cocky pretending that you're too busy?" Translation..."I want to see you too.". What do you get out of that? Check this out... [ Alto just agreed that he would like to fly forever with Ranka. Looked damn happy as he said it too! Forever=Eternity...Hmmm? Look at his choice of words here. Don't you find it peculiar he used "Adulterer" and not "Thief" or something of that nature? Is it because he sees Ranka as a romantic interest? Does he himself as hers, hence the feeling he's sneaking in to see his own "Girl"? *Note: This is yet another time Ranka called Alto for support and HE CAME. Scaled a WALL to do so* Alto was asked twice about his reasons for becoming a SMS Pilot (He didn't have to join the military to achieve his dream.) Michel questioned his commitment and Ozma gives him 24 hours to think about it. What happens to help him make the most important decision? He hears a song... He runs and finds who; Ranka. That meeting on "That Hill" <--Their Hill That forever changes his life. Meeting her, Saving her This time Ozma begs him to protect Ranka.(Like he's her lover or husband <--Nod as in yes? While Alto is is pondering this. He remembers the above scenes. . He says "Protect ...Huh" Then remembers "Think about it carefully. About what You want to do. What you want to fight for and what are you willing to risk." He doesn't say it this time...however he sees Ranka What happens again? When Alto answers... When Ranka is attacked by the Vajira. He makes the decision to TAKE OVER the role as her # 1 protector (pardon the pun :P) At that point Brera made him look like he wasn't needed to protect her anyway. --><--real reason he resents Brera. Alto cried because he saw Ranka cry. Not because she was suffering a terminal illness; just because she cried. The thing that baffles me is how you guys could fail to notice or just disregard entirely. I could sit here and show you all day. We call this Spoiler for Clicky:

okay OD... i know how you feel, when you are talking to a shipper from another ship, everything you view as an A you will find out that they were thinking about B, and so is the people from another ship that view your A as a B, we are reaching stalemate because no one is giving out in this argument
The scene where you view alto was sad when kissed by sheryl.. well i view nothing that sort of sad emotion coming from him (well you can't exactly convince me and i can't convince you either) and your comment about sheryl kissing alto "when you kissed a guy and he lets you that doesn't mean he loved you", oh ok but that also doesn't mean he didn't love you either. get my point? And oh.. sheryl was thinking about alto's feeling for ranka..and sheryl always affirms of alto's feeling to ranka? oh well ranka is undoubtedly also feel jealousy over alto and sheryl... even say goodbye and said "i loved you" when she didn't even know alto could possibly have feeling for her too. Long short story, both girls are confused and they don't know whether alto will choose them or not, the thing is sheryl isn't giving up on him yet will ranka did (oh and you will say , sheryl did give up on alto on eps 24.. if you say that, give me proofs, nothing in sheryl's word there express her giving up as clear as ranka's one) soo well duh, different perspective is common between different shipper, but don't worry this show will end soon, and we will see whose perspective was right or wrong, cheers |

ah damn you post another one and i didn't reply to that one, but all is the same, whatever your view of A, i think of B, nonetheless.
i'll just pick one ok? because further argument will be pointless it will be me shouting "B" and you shouting "A" "This time Ozma begs him to protect Ranka.(Like he's her lover or husband" i'll counter using your argument last time.. when a boy protect a girl, that doesn't always mean he loved her.. and of course you can say , but that doesn't mean he didn't love her, once again different perspective |

Ranka still has a chance if Sheryl's not around. Even then, I'd believe it to be a very slim chance.
But I totally agree with MaiHikari on another point: love is not a charity. It's not bestowed upon who needs it the most. At least, not in the eyes of everyone that matters, even more when more than two people are involved.

OD, you probably would have been better spending your time posting this a long time ago when we had no Ranka shippers here to argue with. Less then 24 hours away and we have all our answers.
