I can only speak with the voice of fans who had access to opinions from various countries who were all sure that Sheryl was far more popular than Ranka for most of the series. Not to mention that I distinctly remember polls from Japan which showed that Sheryl was far more popular there.

Again, you call yourself a fan? This is the poorest showing by a self-proclaimed "Sheryl fan" since Justinstrife said he didn't like "Universal Bunny."

I simply dont have time to find every manga exist. I only read them online on 2 website.. one dedicated to none licensed series and one replaced OneManga - basically a place where I read my Naruto and Claymore.
And I prefer my manga to be light heart these day, with a healthy dose of ecchi, simply because, I think I have enough heavy reading when doing my own job and I prefer ecchi stuff, or simply things that dont require my brain to work. Sorry if I fail to conformed to your typical fan stereotype who would gorged at everything a title have to offer... but that just me. Does that makes me less fan then you are, maybe, heck I dont even bought a single thing related to Macross F yet.. was planning to buy the DVD/BD but the conclusion to the series just annoys me to much. But I can tell you this, I'm really captivated to Sheryl, as a character, and it isnt simply because she's beautiful. I really respect her for what she has been through.

There's really no other word to describe this. Universal Bunny is made of awesome and win, all that is cute and all that is sexy, all that is good and all that is evil, and, most importantly, it is made of Sheryl Nome. This is a travesty. Universal Bunny practically oozes Sheryl Nome appeal. Make him listen to it again. The indoctrination does not always take hold the first time. Its power can initially be overwhelming to some mortals. He will see the light. And the dark. The white and the black. Bunnies that is. Follow the white one. Choose between the red pill or the- Wait, I lost myself there. Where was I? Oh yeah. On the subject of Sheryl, what's been going on with that Sheryl manga? Last I heard Sheryl was making a girl rock band. |

I don't really have an answer to that...certainly, I like Star Wars (to take but one example), but I care nothing about the "expanded universe." I'd definitely say that makes me less interested than the guy who has read all the books and played all the games. But on the other hand, you've got to prioritize, since most of us don't have unlimited time and funds to pursue every fandom we'd like. So yeah, I dunno. But it's an interesting question.

Sheryl was vastly more popular in China from what I've been told.. many chinese forums made AS look tame.. in Korea Sheryl made top 16 or 32 for Korean Best Moe.. (which gets far more votes than Saimoe and each voter is registered) and she's not exactly a "moe" character.. Ranka didn't even make it out of prelimaries IIRC. For a "moe" character she certainly failed hard in those moe contests... and being in such a popular show should be an advantage... |

And again...based on the first book, I was really hoping that the Sheryl comic would get away from the zany high-school antics of the other Macross comics, and tell a more serious story...but yeah, looks like I was hoping in vain. Oh well, at least the art's nice. Kariko Koyama draws a damn fine Sheryl. (Parenthetically, I'd like to point out that nearly ALL the Macross F manga artists draw damn fine Sheryls, which ALMOST makes the stories bearable.)

And not just that I found the "Western likes Sheryl cuz of boobs!" argument pretty dumb.. especailly considering some of the most popular characters of recent times were as flat as Ranka. Like Taiga, Shana, Yuki, Konata, Yui, Kanade, Mikoto etc that excuse was just that, an excuse and a poor one.
