Macross Frontier - Episode 14 Discussion / Poll

[Tsuchiro]

bye bye raramia....

[ickem]

Well Sheryl got her blue VF-25 this episode , although she needs some more practice it seems. Also she gets a few more blows on the Alto front. Yeah, she only has to take a few more hits before her Super Move meter is full.

[glyph]

Spoiler:

Ranka's mother is the Vajra queen? So the reason the Vajra freak out when hearing her voice is not because it has magical Spiritia powers, but they could be people she knew?

Grrrr...still downloading the raw. Anyhow, that's exciting to hear. Gives me future ideas for art LOL.

Spoiler for 14:

- Raramia bit it ( the redhead pixie with no lines). Direct hit by red Vajra to her Queadluun.

- Lucas VF got shot down, fate unknown. That´s what you get for kinda-sorta-lika confessing before a big battle, kid! Also, he´s absolutely worthless as far as dogfighting goes, it falls to Alto to bail Sheryl, Michael and him out, when they get attacked by some yellow Vajra.

- Sheryl isn´t so hot in the pilot seat, alas. Well, maybe she´ll get better in the future. ^^ But I admire her spirit in at least trying.

- Michael seems to have suffered a concussion in the fold, but is safe on Quarter. And his craft went boom. He's not going to be happy when he wakes up.

- Ranka is probably part Vajra. At least a very strong Vajra connection has been established, with the Vajra queen showing her a vision of her mother.

- Brera has "joined" the Frontier forces. Hmmm, I sense a set-up.

- Leon still seems to be going along with Grace.

- Grace wakes up in a clone body.

- Preview shows some more AltoXRanka. Puaegh.

- Eeeeeevil looking Grace in the preview. Also, some Sharon Apple like imagery going on with Sheryls very not-being-her face on a giant screen looking not-very-nicely down on a cheering crowd.

- Also, Grace waving eeeevily good-bye to a bed-ridden hospitalized Sheryl.

- Lots of fighty-fighting this week besides all of this. Frontier went hull-down, the hull got hit by the Vajra mothership, with extensive damage to the city and people spilling into the vacuum.

Can anybody translate what Sheryl and Alto talked about before he headed out towards the mothership?

[Ottocycle]

Love all the new BGM, especially when Alto heads out to the mothership. This really makes me look forward to OST 2.

@magnuskn: Nothing much, just the usual "Promise me you don't die out there" stuff, with which Alto replies with "I'll come back bringing Ranka for sure"

Argh, more spirit-crushing for Sheryl. Oh, well. Super-move meter charging up...

[nanatsusaya]

Naked Ranka... hmn.... Nah, not interested. (There's nothing to hide anyway)

Get to hear Maaya sing Aimo 2 or 3 lines only, but DEFINITELY MUCH MUCH BETTER than Megumi's.

I really hope OST2 will have this Maaya's version of Aimo

[bakamono]

Spoiler for Vajira Role:

So it seems that the vajira really want to communicate with people? That is what the Vajira Queen told to Ranka. I guess people did start the war again like the First Space War. I bett Grace and that Leon are just moving the strings towards making war but for what reason?

I agree on all points.

I'm curious as well. I really don't think that the Vajra are violent by nature.

Spoiler for just some thoughts about 14:

Fleet to fleet battle... and finally, we get to see Grunts that don't bite the dust within 5 secs of being shown. A winner with those alone.

I laughed at the VF super punch!

Frontier has some pretty damn cool defenses... didn't realize how large it was until this today.

Geez, Sheryl just keeps getting it. The save plus the hanger scene were just cold. At least we got to see her pilot a VF.

Vajra fleet suffered pretty heavy losses this Episode, makes me wonder how they're going to pose a threat after this.

If anyone had doubts, Ranka has some Vajra in her.

Brera appears in the open.

I get more Sharon Apple vibes from Grace.

[Ottocycle]

Hurray for awesome grunt! Appearing twice!

[cheesie]

Maaya's Aimo is... way better than Megumi's. Well it's MAAYA.

- More mecha porn.
- Sheryl pilots a Valkyrie. Foreshadowing for future role?
- Definite connection between Ranka and Vajra : they want to communicate?
- It looks like Sheryl is confident on everything else, but when constantly confronted with Alto's Ranka resolve, she doesn't know what to say or how to react.
- Anyone knows what is up with the constant 'Brera swooping in to save Ranka before Alto'?
- Preview shows a fake Sheryl on screen? (Both earring intact.) An old imagery? Sheryl's career will be tarnished in the eyes of the audience? Not sure.
- Preview shows more Alto x Ranka playful interaction, looks like they're in hospital as well as Sheryl. Since they're gonna pay a visit to Sheryl... let's hope it won't be too painful for her.

[Key Board]

it's 99 percent confirmed that she is pregnant with the Vajra Queen.

Or as Grace puts it, the beetle queen

I think it's more likely she is partially infected/achieved symbiosis with the Vajra virus/parasite.Is Ranka, too, a Bird Human?

[-Nyu-]

Nice battle again this episode.
Besides that I wonder what exactly Grace's role is, however I have a really bad feeling - there's something really bad going on in the background. Also I wonder if Sheryl knows, that Grace is poisoning her, at least Michael does.

Ah and Raramia's death - it felt kinda pointless to me which is a bit sad, as it'd be interesting to know more about her past etc. Guess side charas are the first being killed off. Wonder if they'll show at least Klan's reaction.

HEY! That'd work! Sheryl after all is called the "Galactic Fairy." Fairy, Pixie anyone? I guess Raramia's death wasn't that pointless after all... sad but not pointless.

[Tabris]

Shame that Raramia died. Then again, Thank God it wasn't Nene instead.

I haven't quite figured out the Sheryl fitting into a Quealdun Rau part... but she can just have a Valkyrie instead...

[Mgz]
