yeah, the anime was mostly from the perspective of other characters, like Ranka and Sheryl. You never got to get an idea of what Alto was thinking, which is kind of LOL that Alto attributes liking Ranka to being a Lolicon.

Hmmm, I to would like to know if this is canon. What's bugging me though is that we all know what Kawamori thinks of canon so would this light novel still be considered to have happened in the actual TV series?

He said Space War 1 is somewhere between Macross TV and DYRL. Also in an interview he treats Macross as a metafiction. A story within a story. Thus we get several versions of Macross Plus and Macross Frontier events. Only Macross 7 canon is firmly intact and unchangeable. Macross Chronicle does confirm Earth events of MF Novel volume four happens as far as Kim Kabirov in command of the Macross 13 fleet. http://www.macrossroleplay.org/forum...35350#msg35350 |

To paraphrase, the novels exist to provide additional information and weightier material to the canon storyline, or at least touch on more scenes that were absent in the anime adaptation, if memory serves me right. There has been quite a few who were interested in the novels and is looking to get them translated because of this factor alone, but that was a year ago, and there hasn't been any news of the novels ever since then, at least until now.
Unless there are other novels in existence, then this collection should be the one I'm referring to. (And if someone would like to correct me in this aspect, please do. ) It looks like Tak called it after all. It seems he's got some gloating sessions to look forward to considering how no one took his enraged pleas about Alto and Sheryl's smexy time seriously after the episode had aired. With that said, I-I don't think I've managed to recover yet from the sheer fangirliness of that vol 4 scene. It's certainly a treat and I think I just fell a little in love with them all over again. The aftermath and how they just couldn't keep up the subtle mood without breaking into a catfight, it's just so them and it's exactly how I've figured it to play out if they ever did the deed. That was hilarious and adorable. ~cheesie in the wilderness |

Thanks for translating!
I love the fact that the first thing that came to Alto's mind after the deed was: 'I'm glad it's kimono'. He must have been utterly freaked out/nervous during the whole time... what a typical virg-- I mean, unexperienced guy |

Something bugs me though -- did the staff conveniently hand-waved the V-type virus infection away or something? Because in episode 23, the issue was lightly touched upon when Sheryl cut her finger and didn't want Alto to come near, in case he gets infected. But then this contradicts with the whole sex thing from the previous episode.
Until I get a reasonable explanation, I'll just say they used a condom. It's logical... |

Also, I'd really like to know how they resolved the series in the end.

Right, its my turn. So here it is:
I TOLD YOU SO! *gloat* *gloat* Hmm... *gloat* *gloat**gloat* So, here is the million dollar question: Did they use protection? Wait, don't answer that. Here is the second million dollar question: Is Sheryl pregnant? - Tak
