While it's true that we don't know how things would have panned out, I just get the feeling Ranka would have been the same for the most part.

In any case, Ijima was just a start. She did not achieve the kind of international fame as later Macross singers, probably due to the lack of globalization her successors enjoyed Take Mac 7 for example, we can bitch at the show however we like it, but the fact is, the singer behind Basara now has a successful career owe to no small amount of his efforts in Mac 7. May'n went even further. She not only has her songs up in the charts but probably the first Macross idol to launch a concert outside of Japan. Of course, her CDs are on sale all over East Asia. With the sole exception to Macross Zero, every other Macross idol made advances to their careers using Macross as a launching pad. If Gundam exist to sell kits, Macross exist to sell songs. - Tak

Your not the only one, raile. At least Lucy had a bit of character. Not like that short haired, good for nothing woman. She was most probably the worst female lead in Macross universe.

could we somehow agree to call the persons by name? I understand that we have some different opinions regarding the different characters but that does not mean to tend to reflect this in every single posting. You got your single threads to do that...

You know Urei was referring to Myung when he described said person as a "woman". Now, if it was Ranka that was being discussed, I'd expect something along the of:
"Not like that green haired, good for nothing moe-blob" or "Not like that green haired, good for nothing loli" or "Not like that green haired, good for nothing DFC" Not trying to be mean or anything, it's just what I would expect from a person that's attempting to bash Ranka. Same reason you probably won't find peeps calling Ranka a "bitch", "slut", etc. If anything you'd expect to see peeps bashing her as a selfish brat, whiner, helpless loli, moe-blob, infantile, etc. I guess it helps having to have read the previous 5-6 posts that were discussing Myung's popularity. |

it doesn't friggin matter if the person is green, purple, blue, brown, black or whatever hairs color. It starts getting odd to read complete pages where you have at least one post of shipping running through.
Spoiler for Nothin' to do with Macross :P:

On the contrary xD I read just about everyone's opinions but I tend to lurk more often now and only give my opinions where I feel that I have something worth mentioning I do agree though, maybe we should call the characters by their names, some people don't know some characters and are kind of lost on the topic of discussion so it kind of prevents others from putting their opinions in.

I agree with the first sentiment. It's preferable to use actual names than derogatory slurs. At least with names, it's possible to keep some civility.

I, for one, think some people's undies are way too tight, over here. Again.
As for poor Myung... I don't really mind her all that much. In fact, Macross Plus is probably the best short in the series (well, I'm not really a fan of Zero, other than the action scenes)...

I thought it pretty obvious Urei was referring to Myung. All the prior posts were concerning Myung and Urei's post was in response to raile's (which was about Lucy & Myung). But anyway....I suppose to make it easier for some people one can use names. As for me, I don't care about Myung. That's my opinion on her.

OVA = "Lol Isamu, I didn't tell you Myung called because you hit on me" Vs Movie = "lol Isamu I didn't tell you Myung called because you slept with me and I thought we might be serious. Also I don't think Guld raped Myung, I just can't conceive her sleeping with Guld if he did rape her back than. More like he ripped off her clothes and he stopped himself before he did it but than he twisted it in his mind to Isamu doing what he did but worse. And speaking of Myung, Voices is awesome, thank god Megumi isn't covering that on her next single! Akino Arai ftw. |
