And, yes, maybe Alto would have hated her music. I mean, so far, he's been mostly supportive of her singing, but hey. But don't you think he'd have been more hurt if she'd offerend tickets to everyone but him? Quote:

I'm not saying Ranka's blameless, or trying to make light of Sheryl's qualities. Ranka is, as I said, shy. She lacks self-confidence. She's also much more likely to talk than to listen. Especially if the guy is, well, taciturn. Partly out of a belief that everyone in the world but her has his life together. She'd listen if he'd talk, but she wouldn't pry. And Sheryl is, well, the Sheryl Nome. Driven, self-confident, and so on. She's also much more mature than either Ranka or Alto, and more perceptive. So, yes, it's no wonder she knows Alto better. But that doesn't make Ranka a bad person. Quote:

That would have failed to convey how special to her Alto had become. Look, obviously, you don't agree with how they've presented things. But I don't get the feeling Ranka's the sort of person who doesn't care about anyone but herself and Alto. |

In fact, I think I was a bit upset that DYRL Minmei had to suffer the heartbreak that time around even though I still liked Misa. Come to think of it, Sheryl has some elements of DYRL Minmei. Quote:
I admit, the debate is getting a bit out of hand.

As for who's more Alto-centric, realistically it's Sheryl. He's the only person she's remotely close to, and aside from being a stooge for the government, Sheryl's only invested in Galaxy's fate which involves her past and the future of the series, both of which haven't been explored yet. Ranka on the other hand has her career, and lots of people around her that she's aquainted with, even if they're not exactly close to them. Quote:

Wesley your comment comes across like this "I've watched 45 episodes of Bleach, why do Bleach fans think Aizen's an awesome bad guy, he's not even a badguy!!??".

There's a difference in what those tickets were used for. Ranka is using them as the main part of her present for Alto's birthday. Sheryl's were a thank you for the day out the had together. A day that at the time probably would have been either the last or second to last time they potentially ever saw each other. It was the only thing at the time she could offer. Unlike Ranka who lives on the same fleet as Alto and has friends who are also his friends and could help her with her decisions. Using the Sheryl gave hm tickets response doesn't work snce it's totally different circumstances. Now if the had been presented in the same way, then yes it could. But they weren't.

@ani_d May'n flopped back in 2005/2006 and Maaya Sakamoto is much more well known yet May'n did over 11k more in her opening week, May'n sales have come from Frontier, go look up the figures for past May'n singles... Also who's been singing the most in Frontier May'n or Megumi? May'n Don't Be Late 01, 07 What bout my star 01, 05 Diamond Crevasse 06 Infinity 07 ED for 2-6 & 8-9 Megumi Aimo 03, 08, 12 My Boyfriend is a pilot 04 What bout my star 05 Infinity 07 Ninjiin Loves you Yeah 08 Nekko Nikki 09, 12 Interstellar Flight 12 ED for Deculture, 1, 7, 10-12 So both artists are using Frontier as their platform... Megumi actually voices a character unlike May'n and she's had more more of a push in the show as far as signing goes and yet she's down 8000 compared to May'n. Oh it must all be because of May'n fans who never existed when she tried to breakout in 2005! Last edited by Westlo; 2008-07-03 at 05:13. |

And that Sheryl was leaving makes all the difference? What kind of reasoning is that? |

I myself admit I was hard pressed to watch past a certain point in the original Macross, but when I got past that point I realized it was a treat. But really, before you start bashing stuff try to get grip on the information first. Now go and watch, come back when you're finished. Maybe then you'll be able to put up a decent comeback.

^ You're dealing with the guy who disagreed that Minmei was the inspiration for Lacus Clyne even though the director of SEED said so... and he hadn't even watched an episode of Macross at the point.

I'm starting to see the warning signs for Ranka... thankfully she has no Kaifun. Quote:

Not the dubs, the original jap track with subs. Well its your loss. But even if you can't bear to watch the original for whatever reasons, at least give DYRL a chance. You might be surprised. In any case, making harsh remarks after a half-assed attempt to watch what you're remarking about is pretty, irresponsible?

As for there not being a Kaifun in Frontier, I too lament at how the absence of such a wonderful character makes the show less appealing. But be not depressed for I see that the Kaifun's baton is slowly being taken up by the purple-haired uddergirl! It's only a matter of time until she starts downing the booze and yells for Sheryl to go home! |

I hardly make a half-assed attempt when I watch anything. I'm notorious for picking episodes apart afterall. Sometimes I do over extend myself, but it's usually out of boredom or spite. Spite of fanboys and fangirls and hypsters. Not to mention personal detractors.
