Hi...
I couldn't resist. I have never watched any of the other Macross' because my boyfriend brought me down with Robotech...so I couldn't bring myself to watch them. But I spied a cute little green-haired(<--It was moving) girl and a sexy little girly- man! I was hooked!!! I really want Ranka to win. I think she is because it's she who's Alto is fighting for...but Cheryl can't be counted out yet and I am only up to episode 7. With Ranka he is different than he is with anyone else. He's the same with Cheryl as he is with everyone else. however Cheryl could take this and definitely have a chance (UNLIKE SOMEONE ELSE I KNOW) I just love Ranka Lee. She's just so cute how could anyone not lover her! |

Alto x Ranka is like a 38% to 62% for Alto x Sheryl mainly because the director/producer goes for the stronger women.

I'll say it's because Ranka treats Alto specially that Alto treats Ranka specially in return. Ranka awakens his brotherly instincts, but that line is blurred whenever you see her make Alto blush and gets teased by Mikhail and company. He gets too defensive about it making it the more suspicious. So if you ask me, with this kind of setup in their relationship, a romantic development in the future is highly possible. |

This links back to Alto as well; were Ranka not aware that Sheryl had fallen for Alto, she probably would have been content to spend the rest of her days texting him with the details of her day to day life. From what we've seen, her actions reflect more a desire to hold on to the status quo rather than a genuine desire for romance. What she doesn't realize, however, is that even should a romantic relationship develop between Sheryl and Alto, it in no way jeopardizes Ranka's friendship with Alto. Quote:

*Pops in...It's the fillers. They are making me look at other forums besides the Bleach forums*
EDIT @POSTER ABOVE ME...Looked like jealousy and plain ol realization of feelings to me.(On Ranka's part.) I believe she didn't understand the nature of her feelings before then. Also Alto lied. He already knows Ranka knows He knowsSheryl ...He didn't have to lie about who he was with. Seems as if he thought it would hurt her.(Why?) Brotherly? Doesn't sound like it to me. Also emphatic denials=Thou protest to much! Quote:
Tis not really a debate... That's just my opinion. I don't know enough of Macross to make a determination. But I can't help from saying.. Um..He started fighting because of Ranka. When given the choice to think of why he's fighting...He looks at Ranka and then says something like that's right. He primped when he was going to see her <--If a brother worries about his looks when he going to see his sister...That's incest He displayed jealousy towards Michel, He totally ignored Sheryl <--got it right... when he heard Ranka's song. Her voice soothes him. They message each other, he listens to her. Sheryl he thought about not at all. He could be attracted to her (She's dime so I am sure he is) He only showed concern over her safety (Which is understandable)...but He is still behaves with her the same way he does every one else. Ranka's voice (Along with Sheryl spurred him on) Sheryl kissed him...He didn't kiss her. But I do think he is attracted to her andhe feels sorry for Sheryl because of her childhood<--Works both ways. ^.^ But I really wanted to discuss Ranka...Not Ranka/Sheryl/Alto.(Or point me to the thread for pairings) By the by.... I said "I hope she wins" not "she will win ". I am not as confident since I don't have background and never saw the other series (Which I am going to finally watch em today) Sheryl may have a chance, I don't know. (It's not like this is Bleach and I can say "Not a SHOT in HELL") Another thing...Who says Ranka's weak? Oh yeah ...I don't know if you know it...But you sound like Sheryl/Alto to me. <--Which is fine by me... |

What I'm saying is she needed his permission, whether she liked it or not. Even after she got it, she still didn't have his approval though. Probably why they're not really on speaking terms at the moment.

He's really got it easy. All he has to do with Sheryl is slave away for her while looking cute as he complains, while with Ranka he just has to give her half an ear and nod a bit and he's got her eating out of his hand. |

And he would have joined the SMS with or without, knowing or without knowing Ranka. Joining the SMS was him making a practical choice. If he didn't, the military would have arrested him anyway. Quote:
Ranka is not weak, but she has this one thing different from both Alto and Sheryl. Both A & S have goals in life. Alto wanted to be a pilot while Sheryl wanted to be the galaxy's most (in)famous diva. Both of them actively sought after whatever prerequisites they might need to achieve their objectives, even if their methods were different. Alto is more straightforward, while Sheryl is more on-the-go. Ranka on the other hand, often requires some sort of a catalyst. She certainly displayed a lot of weakness in the early episodes and it was not until episode 10 when she thought she should play the role of Mao or all hopes are lost. Nonetheless, she chose to star in the role because once again, Alto and Sheryl kissing acted as a catalyst. Alto and Sheryl more often just 'go at it', while Rank is more passive in that regard.

- Tak (although I don't rule out the possibility of taking Ranka as a concubine) |

I will just answer this one quick one and and edit later.
Touche... (However... then that's also a point for the Alto-Ranka camp. So I really don't mind you being right) OT: Commonly asked question: "Where do you get your smileys?" I steal them...from forums, posts, Photobucket and random google searches. I have some I haven't found the occasion to use |

Probably Blanka again. But the comparison is a little unfair, given the difference in their statures. Ranka hasn't learned to electrocute anyone yet, either. Quote:
Alto definitely looked like he enjoyed the thought of having Ranka in the same class. Now they get to chat even more! Quote:
That might have something to do with the fact that Ranka is still a legal minor and Alto isn't. Even Michael is acutely aware of the potential dangers of pulling off such a stunt, as he pointed out rather rudely to Klein. |

Oh well in Japan, an idoru Ranka's age is already considered old. They usually start at 11 and 12, reach their peak at 16, and then wither away at 20. Ranka x Alto is perfectly fine... age similarly... Ranka has a thing for feminine pretty (niang) boys, and Alto like to protect weak girls to in order to act overtly masculine so he hide his true passion, acting as hot woman in Kabuki plays. They are made for each other...
Ranka must have a music-related power which will be the key to either saving the fleet or defeating the Vajra-thingies. Alto will be the key which draw it out. Brera must be related to Ranka in per past; they both knows the Aimo song etc. They must either be blood relatives or survivor of the same accident. Love Triangle/Rectangles will break out en-mass, But at the End it's Alto x Ranka, Sheryl x Brera, and Michael x Luca (KIDDING!). At the end Vajras and Human/Zentradi will all be friends and enjoying wonderful dimsum at Niang Niang's. |

Do you know why he says it? I believe he vaguely gets something from Ranka, but its effect is just temporary. That is Sheryl solves this problem for him at ep 5.
Let's look into context. Alto wants to join SMS, but Mikhail says the princess wants to escape again. Despite of his instincts telling him to fly, but he doubts if he is really escaping and if he is right to fly SMS. He comes to observation park and meets Ranka there. Ranka tells him she wants to be heard and her fears of failure. Alto tells her that she can only succeed if she tries first or she never knows if she really can do. What he tells Ranka is what convinces himself. Ranka's song only adds impact to the scene. Ranka doesn't help him, she is only a cause for Alto thinks out of box. However, his problem is still unsolved. He only gets it when Sheryl tells him that he wants to fly because he is meant to fly. Then he realizes his passion of flying is pure, what makes he want to fly is his instincts not the urge of escapade. Alto's doubt are relieved in the scene not because of Ranka per se. Anyone comes to Alto with a similar question can do the same and that kind of questions isn't rare. But the understanding Sheryl has is not shared by many. Alto is fortunate to meet Ranka there, but he is not fortunate enough to meet Sheryl or his doubts can be solved immediately. I say. She is definitely weaker than Sheryl, do you agree? I hope you don't argue that Ranka is still new, she is still growing, or she will be whatever and blah blah. Because those are just evidence of how weak Ranka is now. If she is strong, she doesn't need of growth to be comparable to Sheryl. WILL-BE is not equivalent to ALREADY-BE.
