Anyone thinks the kiss in Zero movie may be CGed?
By this standard, #2 is unsaid as well because it has been rephased in show. However I doubt Sheryl will make a similiar line in future (who will she tells to?) so I think #6 should marked as already-said as well.

Actually what would make me more flabbergasted is a SherylxRanka ending.....Sheryl seems more interested in Ranka anyway LOL....my gaydar went off a few times haha! And my wishful thinking says Sheryl should have her way with the Rookie. But whatever...as long as Sheryl is happy with someone. Although I admit...aesthetically she does look good with Hime-sama. ....I'm almost inclined to pair Sheryl up with Nanase...in my world of course.

Great episode overall and better than the last one. Alto's past comes back to haunt him and he still has troubles with his father. What the heck is up with Leon? It looks like he set up with that Matrix like agent with Kikuo Inoue's voice about the Hydra and Ranka. Makes me wonder who is the mastermind. I'll just hold off on the pairings till we get some real development.

Oh for your Macross Fans that love detail...
In this scene: You can find more information on it "word for word" from that scene on the monitor at this website. As far as I can tell it's a literal copy and paste. |

I feel that this was yet another fantastic episode. What impressed me the most is that they basically took a bunch of Macross Zero animation and recycled it. A few scenes were shot-for-shot and line-for-line from the original. However, it was done with so much creativity and imagination that the end result is quite awesome; and it fit the story to boot. I also thought that the director is a direct reference to Kawamori, and that the self-insert was a long time coming.

As for a comparison with Madoka, I think that Sheryl is a much deeper character - she's certainly more fun. Quote:

By way of contrast, Sheryl knows about Alto's acting background, and she's empathetic enough to realize that he's not ready to talk about it, so she doesn't bring it up until he was ready to do so. Quote:

Still, a lot of people seem interested in this kind of discussion, so all I can suggest is that you ignore the portion of the discussion that doesn't interest you. Quote:

Still, in terms of romance, Ranka is the closest to recognizing her own feelings. Quote:

Absolutely. They'd use CG to replace Alto's face with that of Shin's actor .

Man Ranka really hit it big. And the scene where the director tells her "your legend begins now!" was quite powerful. By why? of all scenes was the fighting animation out sourced again? It looked like the 90's during that scene. |

Almost makes me think that Frontier is posing as a Macross series, rather than actually being one. Quote:

So long as she makes whimiscal exceptions to who she treats like crap and who she does not, there will always be room for doubt about whether or not she's for real about anything. |

Don't know if someone mentioned this before but the OP lyrics just crack me up. Especially after this episode. A peek into future relationship complications, perhaps? Then from who's point of view is it singing from... This is pure speculation or over-analyzing anyway but to hell with it I think sounds like what Ranka would be thinking. Though I must say, I am not participating in any shipping stuff. Be it with Ranka or Sheryl I think both girls have their merits and faults. The interaction is interesting, however. Also, is it just me who thinks that maybe Nanase also has a thing for hime-sama? She seems to take some particular notice of him. Maybe I'm just delusional after Sheryl's casual tease in ep 8, but regardless it's obvious she has no chance, not being a major character and all. I don't know if I want to see complications between Nanase and Ranka over romantic issues anyway. So I'm going to think I'm just over-analyzing.
To tell the truth, I was quite put off by the preview episode of Macross F. I just absolutely LOATH damsel-in-distress crap. The scene with Ranka just sitting there being vulnerable to attack just made me want to punch her into normal survival instincts. Good thing that I reconsidered and decided to watch the series three-days ago and realized her inability to react properly to danger had to do with a past trauma. I also didn't quite like Sheryl at first but after a while she proved herself to be a very interesting character. I like her strength of character and all, very independent and definitely not clingy. It's also hilarious to see her interact with hime-sama. In the end, a Queen is a few ranks higher up than a Princess, no? Anyhow, I haven't watched Macross Zero (or any other Macross stuff, for the matter--mainly because I have a distaste for...unpleasant out-of-style art) before so I'm sort of lost whenever there is some reference, and judging from the comments posted here I think there are some huge references...like...the entire movie stuff. I shall proceed to clear out my confusion. |

The weakest element for me is the cloak and dagger stuff; it's never been a strong suit of the Macross shows, and so far it's a bit superfluous (admittedly, I'm not all that fond of that kind of storytelling to begin with). Quote:
Hah! Just because a generalization is mostly true doesn't rule out all exceptions. While the panty bit has more to do with other genres, the frenetic energy and fish-out-of-water comedy dates back to SDF Macross. Quote:

I don't know if I can exactly recommend Macross Zero on the quality of the story, but the artwork is still some of the very best out there. It came out in 2005, so it isn't even close to being outdated.
