As for the personality disparity, yeah, it's there. So? Not every female has to be insecure. Sheryl is the type that just goes forward, and worry about the consequences later. Quote:

Macross Frontier Episode 08 is up for what it's worth.
I haven't been disappointed in an episode of a series I've been following in a long time and it feels like a sucker punch even more since I've been enjoying the series despite some of it's shortcoming up till now. This episode just takes the cake though and I come away from it feeling empty and worried about the path it lays out for rest of the series. At this point it seems like Macross Frontier's civilian side is wobbling dangerously on the edge between Space Opera and Cliched High School Harem Comedy. I hope that if the latter is to be a part of the series that it's a really small one (Like 1 minute per 5 episodes in the future) as I don't want to see the character relationship between Alto, Ranka and Sheryl that has been built on a solid foundation of three seperate lives coming together by chance in a somewhat more realistic (for anime) romance triangle regress to the level of To Love-Ru (Which while a favourite of mine isn't exactly deep). Seriously this episode seems like a step back from everything that has been established before it with one simple gesture of putting both Ranka and Sheryl in the same school as Alto. Why anyone thought this was a good idea is beyond me. |

Really, look at the situation right now: Sheryl is already at her prime. Ranka's stock can only go up. Quote:
I guess that is sort of ironic coming from me since I thought Sheryl was an empty shell of a superstar. All the subsequent episodes basically proved me wrong. |

There's fewer than a million people on Frontier, Sheryl's face is plastered everywhere, and the colony has welcomed her indefinently with open arms. I'm loathed to think of Ranka doing what it'd take to win the same level of recognition Sheryl's managed, and that's the expectation; beat Sheryl at her own game. The moment Ranka is compared to Sheryl in the minds of Frontier's colonists, it's over for Ranka forever. |

cerrian: No, that was meant to reinforce the point, not counter. We've seen her obviously playing people, and we've seen her when she's sincere.. and while she may have exaggerated things during the concert, those bits of breakdown may have been genuine, although like a showman she carried on and worked it into the concert in the process.
As for Ranka's stardom... Leon's probably doing his best to kill it before it really starts, lest people start keeping closer tabs on Ranka for being a Big Idol rather than just some schoolgirl who can vanish without being missed. |
