Oh gosh, leave my nine year old cousin alone -_- lol! More so than a 9 year old judging Alto's reaction, I'm merely pointing out that it's evident that Alto's reaction just looked bland in that scene. If we saw the same thing, then I'm pretty sure we both saw Alto go like this---> "=/"

I think what crisis is saying is you are grasping at straws and you have the ability to give a better argument then the silly one you are giving now. There is no need to be condescending and implying that if even a child can see it, why can't you? By looking at the picture of animation you can't tell what the scene was actually try to convey. And even if it your cousin did watch it and totally agreed with you, it doesn't mean anything more then you having someone who agrees with you and that you and your cousin share the same Ranka loving blood.
The nit picking arguments about who blushes more, laughs louder, has more ~eye flickering~ , or what our 9 year old cousins think is just frankly too stupid to even argue about. I mean, we could post lots of screenshots of Alto looking disinterested and interested, blushing and not blushing at both Sheryl and Ranka if you want to go down that path. Then we could count them and see who the winner is! Now I fear someone might do that. |

I'm open to any twist in your perspective on Sheryl.

Before we get too ahead of ourselves, I'm merely replying on this assumption.
Quote:
Just because Alto's seriously figuring out what she's thinking doesn't mean that he's starting to get attracted to Sheryl Nome's "charms". It goes either way. It's either he's not interested, or he is. This is also the same girl who grabbed her chest in front of Alto and got another bland reaction the next episode. Again. What makes it so absolute that Alto will suddenly realize his dormant feelings (if there's any) for Sheryl once she starts going for Alto? You're 100% convinced that the "romantic side" of the story will play out this way with no stronger evidences to back it up but subjective histories. I see you stopped doing Kawamori history, but now you're just back to Osana-najimi (sp) anime history. Besides, like it or not, that SherylxAlto kiss was used as a plot device for Ranka. The focus the story gave to that kiss was so Ranka could realize her own feelings FOR Alto and do her job properly. If the romantic side of the story is supposed to build on this said plot device, then why did the story feel the need to showcase Ranka and Alto's kiss more? ^_^ If all of us here agrees that romance is a big part of Macross Frontier, then surely, the story will look AT the romance of its intended couple. This goes for either Ranka or Sheryl----I'm just glad the story is looking at Ranka's love life. Quote:

Okay, referee time. No one knows for sure where this will go, we only have strong hunches, but that doesn't make it reality. Our hunches may turn out to be real, but a strong hunch does not MAKE things happen.
I have a strong feeling that it will sway to Sheryl's side strongly though, at least once, before the series ends. Whether or not it will end there, well, that's the scriptwriter's choice. |

Well, Sheryl has to have a comeback somehow or the LT in the show won't be a LT lol
Anyway....more than the Sheryl super move, I'm more worried about Ranka dying or leaving in the end, but let's not talk about Ranka here.

Ranka won't die, I'm sure of it now after 14, she still has a very high chance of a Varja end but she won't die, though I guess some Varja endings for her she might as well be dead...

ani_d did provide a funny idea. I am going to take the screen shot and display it in my psychology class, I wonder what they would say about that

ani_d has this strange thought in her head, that Macross Frontier is really, Macross Ranka! That's why everything is slanted in her thinking. This comes up again in another thread, where she criticizes Sheryl fans, for trying to turn this into Macross Sheryl.
In truth, Ranka, Alto, and Sheryl are the main characters of this show, and are shown in different ways. While we see more into Ranka's mind and thoughts, we're also shown more complex emotions and thoughts between Alto and Sheryl(not necessarily towards each other just as a general case). This show isn't about only one character, it's about all three of them. This explains why ani_d only sees the kiss in episode 10, as growth for Ranka, and not growth for both Ranka AND Sheryl. The whole point of that scene was to show the viewers, Sheryl's growing attraction and feelings towards Alto, as well as making Ranka figure out as well, her feelings for him. It was very well played IMO. The only downer is, some people either aren't sharp enough, or are too narrow-minded, to realize the significance of that scene for BOTH GIRLS. Okay I'm late for work, looking forward to seeing new posts tonight. magnuskn: You give me far too much credit. My posts aren't that great or significant to the equation. I am humbly thankful though for your praise.

That was the most masterful appeal to authority that I've seen in some time.
Spoiler for 4koma:
@stray: There's a difference between trying to elicit a response and trying to gauge a response. You can't be tricksey and giddy at the same time. Strength of character depends on how you act in spite of adversity, not in the absence of it. Everyone has problems, but most people sit around waiting for someone to rescue them. But when you have the guts to grab hold of the controls even in the face of fear, that's the mark of true strength. You can only have courage when you're afraid. Everyone faces fear of loss at some point or the other. But as we saw rather clearly in the past two episodes, Sheryl chose to throw her support completely behind Alto, even in the face of her fears for his safety. That's what makes all the difference. |
