Interesting, its not that Alto can't understand its that he doesn't want to understand, episode 24 kinda gave me that impression. I really want to read the novels now, you don't know how jealous I am of you. |

Oh, the ones of the obvious kind I agree with, like him getting angry initially at getting called "Princess" or that street seller calling him a lady. But I personally don't see it as going all that deeper from what was presented in the TV series. What goes on in the novels is a separate issue, of course.

All that being said, would you be willing to provide some details about what the book said about what this meant for Alto? Or did it actually say anything about the effects it had on him? Are we left to form our own conclusions completely or did it spell some things out? Your own bit of speculation is interesting although I'm not sure I buy into it completely at this point. Even if it would be a good counter to use against the people who keep accusing Alto of being stupid or dense. :lol: |

Based on some of their 'flagposts', one thing that became clear to me during the rewatch is that the characterisation IS there in the series, but it's not obvious, and most people ignore it because they're more interested in certain aspects of the show (e.g. the love triangle, or perhaps the mecha/battles. I know I've gone nuts about valkyries since I saw the "All that VF" clips a couple of months back...). Quote:
But if you want to try reconsidering the series, the following comment by Swampstorm is a good starting point: Spoiler for in case there are ppl who don't want to see it, and besides, this is the novel thread, not the series thread:
If I might say one last thing, I was pretty ambivalent about Alto until about 2-3 months ago. Now that his character actually makes sense to me, he's overtaken Michel as my fav male character in Macross F. Pity I can't change my selections in the character poll...

It looks suspiciously like a Feios Valkyrie. Also the YF-27-5 has Neo Glaugs with it?! Figures as Galaxy Anonymous unmanned fighters. Last edited by ReddyRedWolf; 2011-11-12 at 14:37. |

I disagree with some troller's earlier assertion (here and MWF) that the light novels do not complement or supplement the movies. If anything, based on my experience with the Marimite franchise, these books helps provide at least more than one way and angle of looking at a saga.

IMHO, that topic may be more suitable for the thread on Macross 'Canon', even though it technically can go in this thread too...
