We seen Ranka on the phone with Alto we knows she talks openly with him. They don't yet have a relationship where they are completely open with each other. Alto has lied to Ranka on a few occasions about him being with Sheryl. We have yet to see the opposite. So I don't know if he actually treats them equally. Quote:

I always hate hearing people tell Alto lying to Ranka and poor Ranka-chan is hurt. Does Ranka force him to lie? Does Ranka lie to him first? Let me repeat my infamous opinion one more time, Ranka deserves being lied. If she wants an answer, asking it honestly. After all, Mikhail gets all the truth when he wants a similar answer from Alto. If you want to say someone in fault in this case, it's the one who use asymmetric information to her advantage. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask. Where is your real-friend-ask-direct-question theory now? Quote:
If Sheryl kisses Alto only for the sake of stealing a kiss, it's a negative character development for her. Is it worthy to be a question? Even with the new title of Super-Sheryl-Biased(a homage to Westlo), I don't deny a fact.

The Happening was pretty crappy :\ Oh well I got shouted anyway..
Anyway ickem covered it nicely which saved me typing stuff up. Also ani_d you're going to get a lot of Sheryl and Alto development in the late teens so prepare your "INCONSISTENT" posts. What a waste of a love triangle if both girls aren't developed and given good reasons to be with Alto Glad you're not writing this... because we'll have to suffer jealous Ranka for ten more episodes. I have faith in Kawamori that he won't do that... it will be like Mao in Kimikiss all over again with Mao fans going "hurry and up do something" and just pissing off everyone else. Quote:

My suggestion was based on what is appropriate for moderate behaviour, but your reasoning is directed towards what should be done in extreme cases. Alto is neither depressed nor suicidal. Observe, and act based on those observations. There are times when an issue should be brought up, and there are times when it shouldn't. Quote:

I think the distinction may lie in the fact that "giving something your best shot" isn't the same as simply 'trying'. The former implies that you didn't hold anything back. Quote:
Scripted kisses are done to the satisfaction of the director, not the satisfaction of the actors. Ranka had a job to do, and she did it. If her goal was specifically to kiss Alto, she would have done it on her own terms, off the big screen. Quote:
I don't remember the story saying that Ranka inspired Alto to join SMS. I think you're underestimating the importance of Alto's own personal conflicts in the matter. Quote:
Conversations between friends aren't always about getting advice and unloading your problems. It's more about sharing your interests and your ideas. That's part of the reason why Alto is such a black box to Ranka. Quote:

Really? You mean even if he successfully pairs up Alto with Klan Klein in a very consistant fashion? Haesslich would be thrilled to hear that. |

We can look at the time with Michael and Alto when he shot his VF by mistake. Michael didn't come out with his issues and Alto just assumed he did it on purpose without asking him straight up if there was a reason. Klan telling Alto what the issues was that actually helped the two resolve the issue. Klan was straightforward even though she knew Michael wouldn't thank her for it. And it took Alto putting himself in a position where Michael could make amends/ get over it for the issue to finally be resolved. Quote:
It the same as in school where they're students who give it their all in exams but come out scoring less than another who never even opened his book. Some people are more naturally gifted as some things or more experienced. The end result shouldn't be the only thing you judge "giving you all" on but also the individual who's involved. Quote:

Sheryl's latest blog entry is her wondering about how emotions seem to collect at the fingertips, hair, and lips. She writes "Quite troublesome places, don't you think? But, maybe that's why we want them touched. Want them to be touched. Do you understand this feeling?" I guess this confirms the speculations that some people have had about her reaction to the kiss.

Come to think of it, the earring was another partially unfulfilled promise from Alto, this time to Sheryl. But it seems the girls are ok with it, as long as he's still there and he has some excuse for the shortcoming. |

Also, I'm going to go ahead and mention his participation in the movie after Mikhail and Ranka's manager talked to him. He didn't cross-dress, but he watched out for an opening role just so he can participate. I thought that was really sweet of him to do that. All for Ranka-chan lol Quote:

Of course, Ranka isn't 11 like Mao was, so that leaves things a bit more open in the grand scheme of things... |

And I agree....the Sheryl that we see when she interacts with most people (or all) seems to wear a mask and that facade hides her true self which is vulnerable. This blog entry obviously shows that. But whenever she spends more time with Alto, I could clearly see that her mask slowly cracking even more. These blog posts of hers are quite interesting anyway as it fills me in on her inner being. It makes her more 3-dimensional. --Lone Wolf 一匹狼 |

I'd love to see translations of these blogs. They sound really interesting to understanding the characters who are doing them.
As for the whole romance thing. I'm in the Alto x Sheryl camp. To me they just fit together so well. I just don't see that kind of connection with Alto x Ranka. Yes he relaxes round her when they're alone together. But those times have generally only been chance encounters at a point when they needed each other. But Alto's indifference that he's shown round her sometimes also shows to me that Ranka only affects him when he's in a certain mood. In normal situations he doesn't particularly care for her or anyone else. But Sheryl seems to get through to him no matter what. Plus I don't see Alto as the type to take just anyone kissing him. He's shown to be confrontational about things he doesn't like. Yet he's never reacted confrontational about her kissing him.

Yes, they really do help with understanding the characters better. I was hoping for an Alto blog but I don't see that one appearing anytime soon. I've also been keeping up with some of Ranka's blog post (actually the more recent ones) but in all honesty, they are a bit petty and shallow. Of course, it's still too early to see if this will be consistent or not but so far some of Sheryl's blog posts are a bit deeper and more heartfelt....well...from what I've read so far. I still need to back track for the earlier entries but once I get around to do that maybe I can post some summaries of each blog....or maybe Ickem and I can take turns? *shrugs*....I guess whoever gets to them first I suppose. --Lone Wolf 一匹狼 |
