Actually, gg comes out about 2 days after the episode airs... but I also watch the Kei subs first, as I am an impatient Macross bitch, what can I say?

Here's an odd thought. It's been establish that Galaxy has Meltran designed escort ships. Well, remember Sheryl said that she never saw any Zentradi on Galaxy and the ones she has met in different fleets have been miclones.

So the question is, with so many escort ships why did Sheryl never met any/said there's no zentrans in the Galaxy fleet?

My only thought here is that some how Galaxy was able to acquire the automated plant that produces the Meltran ships but didn't have any Meltrans/Zentradi to crew them.

I really wish the crew of that ship they saved had been given more exposure.

It has? Where and in which episode was that stated? I missed that.

Not really in the Mech and Tech thread when ep six aired we tried to identify the Galaxy machines.

From the fighter to the escorts to Galaxy itself.

I was the one who stated the similarity to split hull design of the Dulfim to a Meltran gunboat.

While the Kaitos to a line art of a Meltran destroyer.

Krepshy on Macross World just posted the episode titles for 19-21 as well as a short spoiler.

Spoiler:

19 (Triangler) 2008.08.14
"For who do I sing for?"Ranka becomes confused.
Sheryl tells Alto, that she no longer sings.

20 (Diamond Crevasse) 2008.08.21
At Ranka's concert, three people's thoughts are crossed.

21 (Blue Ether) 2008.08.28
Ranka makes the decision, rejects to be "the singing tool".

I'm still wondering where that yahoo Japan article got that Frontier was finishing on the 17th of October... was this a mistake? Has it been confirmed? Does this mean 3 more episodes bringing it to a total of 28? Is this why 15 was a half recap?

Spoiler for ep 19:

Especially considering episode 20 airs the day after the single comes out which going by past single release dates means they will have to showcase something from it... hmm

Spoiler for 19/20:

Going by the focus of episode 20 being Ranka's concert I'm guessing that Sheryl will join her on stage.. so they both sing the full version of Lion. Guess that means NC will get used later on in the show... of course Ranka might let her sing a song of her choice since it would be weird of them to quickly know the lyrics to a new song like that *snaps fingers* so that might be NC in 20.

Though of course she tells Alto she won't sing anymore.. maybe this will be her final song.

I saw it coming a mile away. <walks into a tree>

Spoiler:

So, what is happening? Did she lose her voice, get the news she was created as a songstress and is a failed experiment for Galaxy? Will she be a pilot now?

Aaaaaaah! The possibilities! <joygasm>

[Westlo]

Yeah it's by "May'n and Megumi N" not "Sheryl Nome starring May'n and Megumi N = Ranka Lee", but they might've shortened the names lol... but Darial's translation of the song mentions Sheryl and Ranka singing about surviving.

Oh, I see. I suppose they look kinda Meltrandi-ish. I'm trying to imagine them in magenta Are there any really good screen shots of the Dulfim? I seem to remember a really goo static shot of the ship docked along side Island 1, sometime after the big battle in episode 7. I think it's in episode 8.

[ReddyRedWolf]

You mean this?

[March]

That's it. And thanks for the one on MW too.

I'll have to wait for the translation but I'm beginning to see the motivations behind Grace et al and Bilrer.

Bilrer said his dream is to make the galaxy a smaller place using Fold Quartz. Like the new LAI booster and instant communication.
Bringing the children of the Protoculture together.

Now what did the Protoculture could not achive in their 500,000 years of history?

Unity and Peace.

In Macross Plus and VFX-2 there are still colony disputes, rogue Zentradi, worst a coup attempt.

Humanity is mearely taking the same footsteps as the failed Stellar Republic.

As Linderman in the show Heroes said to Nathan. People need hope but it is fear they trust fear. This tragedy will rally the people in a united sense of hope under united sense of fear.

Macross Galaxy is using the Vajra to create fear and establish themselves to guide civilization.

[Darial]

Episode 17 synopsis and pics are out on the official website.

Very interesting pic:

Spoiler:

Maybe we can get Sheryl a replacement earring?

[magnuskn]

I will be very interested to see what Sheryl is up to in that episode... so far the synopsis doesn´t give her too much to do.

I like this. I like this idea a lot.
