I do not really care about this fan fiction each his own.
I just find it funny since it's extended to the movie and not only Sheryl but Alto too and involve some definites details about offspring and wedding.... But if you think I'm delusional with my Ranka shipping, you should go to the japanese boards to see how Ranka is favorised next to Sheryl. People here really think Sheryl is all and leaded Macross and think Ranka is just the little moe loli character who can't possibly be loved. Ranka is popular in japan too, Sheryl is popular too but Ranka also. You just have to see the magazines . Here people dare to say it's for teenagers. This is for a certain age of course but for teenagers ? It's funny . So all japanese anime lovers who buy all they can from the toys to figurines and collection magazines too are teenagers ? You have a influenced vision of Sheryl's popularity since all providers of informations here are Sheryl's fan who even invite you to vote for Sheryl in some polls.... Except 3 person, All, I said all people here thought Alto didn't have any feelings for the Ranka the green hair puppy and think still the same. This is what I call being in denial or delusional if I take your word. I know I'm not popular here, but I'm glad Kawamori will based his choice for the movie reading forums respecting fairness between Sheryl's fan and Ranka's ones. |

Heck, that little conversation back there doesn't even involve the movie since we know next to nothing about it. Really, does it bother you the some people are casually talking about their favorite character whom you happen to dislike? |

@ mechabao A lot of girls in japan are fan of Ranka without being otaku
@kujoe I said it already : I do not really care but I find it funny so tell you why . And I have the right to express my opinion ,no ? Or you will tell me I don't, since I step a foot in Sheryl's fan club proprety ? Go take a look in Ranka's thread and come back to read your own sentence : . Really, does it bother you the some people are casually talking about their favorite character whom you happen to dislike? At least I'm not bashing Sheryl in her own thread |

First of all, this is a Sheryl thread, and hence discussion about her is welcomed. And you participated. That's the point. Quote:

Ask any Ranka fan what they like about her and their answers will likely be "she's cute", "she's innocent and pure", "she's so moe". I'm willing to bet not one of them will be able to point out anything else they like about her since the writers fucked up when they were fleshing out her character and basically wrote themselves and her into a loli-moe blob corner. |

Ahh I saw your friends like this word too... this is surely a sign of distinction in your community @mechabao You can say the same thing to Sheryl's fan, the first answer will be she is hot . Look at her fan art , really this pretty telling.... |

Oh, and read my post again. I'll highlight the part you forgot to read: Quote:
Typical Ranka fan/shipper answers I saw on RC (granted I only got to read comments from the last few episode reviews): DOKUN DOKUN DOKUN ^___^ her love is pure she's so lovable she's so cute and last but not least, the vague "I like Ranka more than Sheryl" answer.

Yes Ranka's more popular over there than on English forums but considering how popular she is over here that's not exactly saying much. And should I even bother to mention how much more popular the AruSherri pairing is compared to AruRan? |

They love Ranka because she is all these three combination. When talking about personality, she got little to none variety of comments other than pure, childish, narrow-minded (For negative part). Quote:
I can agree she is still popular, however note that her popularity has wavered and a lot of Japanese were complaining about her character. Read her oh-so-ever-growing Hate Thread in 2ch, please. The thread has been growing rapidly since episode... 16+. So that you will really not be confused and mistranslate my post, the deal is that Ranka is loved but as well hated, and compared to Sheryl, she is a double-edged sword. Quote:
Newtype, I'm not sure. Anyone else can provide the information. Quote:
Hmm... But the poll I give is for the pairing... In which AltoxRanka did not exist in the poll due to circumstances. Try again, Dear. If you're talking about character poll that "Sheryl Fan" as you have labelled us with, give, I don't think Ranka is leading from the very start. I mean, hello? Ranka : 100+ vs Sheryl : 700+ votes? Talk about raping. I don't give links to blogs' poll because it is quite one-sided to be truthful. Go to Ranka-centered Blog, and she get a lot of votes (I'm not going to talk about who is winning and losing here. Truth is way too painful to you if you know). Go to Sheryl-centered blog, Sheryl get massive votes and Ranka tiny bits.

Then again, both recent issues of NewType and Animage put Sheryl at least 2 places above that of Ranka in terms of popularity. For a teen magazine, that is saying something. And Seifall, I sincerely hope you get some sense of Japanese culture before making assumptions. Older folks like myself simply shy away from purchasing anime magazines. You have any idea what kind of social stigma that implies? - Tak

you sure chose those well. I only dropped by two times there and I remember reading one of members here, supporter of Sheryl saying : " dokun dokun dokun kawai " Seriously I'm sure you yourself , even think she is cute and lovable , or maybe not, but we all know even if she didn't have a proper change , you know what I'm talking about ..., we know she wasn't just the loli girl VS the modern one, she got to show her importance in the story.She had plenty of qualities even if it's still unseeing for some Quote:
You can replace hot by cute, impulsive by reflective, ahem neurotic ? Ranka, surely not, maybe passionate a lot around Alto though and strong willed by girl of good will and you got Ranka's main qualities. Quote:
OK I got it, thanks Quote:
The men are the same, maybe a bit more passionnate : " Sheryl ? mmmh ~ " or " ... The other possibility is that we are a bit lazy sometimes.... Quote:
Quote:
It kind of remind me someone who said me that I didn't understand the episode during the airing. How can I respond here too... ..... It's not because you got to spend some years in a country that you automatically have the sense of the culture ? Even outside, this is the same , you have the typical black hair but not the eyes so people directly start with the " culture stuff"... And I'm not making assumptions since I know what I'm talking about Quote:
Social stigma ?! ...... You don't have to be bother by the anime magazines I think... Quote:

*Sigh* Get over it.
Fact is, concepts change all the time. Take Gundam SEED for example, the original was to have Kira die at the end trying to stop Flay, who had been forced to become a human bomb on a collusion course with the Arch Angel. Had that happened, yeah, it'd make KiraFlay fans cheer at the bittersweet ending, but it would have killed the show, Kira would not be in that dominant position as he is today, let alone any possibilities for a sequel. Thank goodness he hooked up with Lacus Clyne! Fans responded, Kawamori listened, and made changes accordingly. - Tak
