If you think of the other characters in this series, and you try to alternatively change their hair and eye colors... I don't think anyone will look as similar as this. I'm not sure that this means anything though, I'll just sit back and watch.

Please, do the following service to me: copy paste sheryl's hair, put it on hime, change hime's skin to match the fairy, and you'd have hime changing into a fairy too! It's part of how they make the women! same with copy pasting sheryl's hair on grace Seriously |

Seriously The mere fact that you think I copied and pasted it on her means that it's so convincingly similar (but AGAIN, not that it means ANYTHING). EDIT: Original photo for your reference: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...ranshe_mei.png

Even the name "Frontier" is ironic, since I wouldn't consider the people on board all that pioneering, industrious, or "Boldy going, where no man has gone before". It's like the Original Macross is the greatest generation, and Frontier are the baby-boomers. |

The fleets are (or should be) completely self sustaining. So they could float around for generations. |

Well i'd say its a bad strategy look what the fck they got them selfs into x.x Vajra coming to blow me up, they even knew bout the vajra for the most part and cant runaway from em somehow....But even if they do find a planet like I said it'll probably have more Vajra because they will come out from inside of Frontier and lay eggs there and kill em all

The whole point of the colonization fleets is to spread around humanity as fast as possible. Considering that humanity was almost completely wiped out by the Zentraedi 50 years ago and, according to Excedore, there are more than 1000 fleets of Zentraedi the size of Boldolzas fleet around, IŽd say it is a good idea to send out their colonization ships.
There are also lots of sociological and political reasons why it is better to send out a whole infrastructure on such a long mission, instead of a purely military exploration fleet. |

Hey all, I've been lurking here for a very long time and am only JUST throwing in on this discussion...
1st... Mac Frontier is the BOMB! AMAZING action and the relationships are just all over the map. Fascinating series. I really pray that Big West and all get their stuff figgerd' out and release in Region 1 as subs at LEAST! A great dub with women who sing as well as these original seiyuu is probably too much to ask... On this Ranshe/Ranka/Sheryl thing. I'm probably all wet, but I can't help but thinking the following: Ranka is stated as being 1/4 Zentradi. I'm going to make a little jump here that this bloodline came from her mother, Ranshe. In the picture Ranka and her mother both have green hair while her brother and father are blonde. I KNOW that that's proof of nothing, but in Anime, often the hair color is a shorthand for being related. Not ALWAYS, but in SDFM, Komiriya has the same haircolor as Miriya, pointing to strong Zentradi genes. And who knows, maybe Max a Human, marrying Miriya, a Zentradi, started a trend for Human males and Zentradi females marrying... Anime logic is often based on less... OK, enough of that. Ranshe is working on this "project" with Grace & Mao. Since she has the stronger genes of the group, a clone of Ranshe is cultured (possibly covertly, but likely with her knowledge & consent. Who knows. The Zentradi are used to the idea of cloning themselves.) This clone becomes Sheryl Nome (named after BOTH the DNA donor & the doctor who is doing the research (Ran)SHEryl Nome...) Sheryl the clone is purposely infected as an experiment on culturing the V-Tipe (hee hee) virus in a controlled environment. Shortly after, Ranshe becomes pregnant with Ranka and during the pregnancy gets infected with the V-Tipe virus. The virus crosses the blood barrier and infects Ranka, who is BORN, (not cultured) with the Vajra sequence as a part of her blood. Between the two, Sheryl needs to have the virus under constant control and so Grace is assigned to monitor her progress. Ranka in the meanwhile is born and raised normally by Ranshe and her husband. Then during the attack on the 117th fleet, Ozma rescues Ranka during the confusion. Grace arrives on the scene and assumes Ranka has been killed with her family. She scoops up what's left of Brera and takes him back to Galaxy, having him cyborgized. (Possibly as a backup donor of Ranshe's DNA). The Ranshe clone, Sheryl is taken back to Galaxy by evac units before Grace can retrieve her, and eventually finds her scavenging on the streets of Galaxy. Grace, now operating without either of her colleagues, and assuming that Ranka is dead, proceeds to resurrect her research by raising Sheryl and giving her a false past with earrings from her "mother", which are actually tuning instruments for resonating with Sheryls singing voice and converting them into fold waves. While Sheryl becomes an idol in the public eye, Grace begins to use her as a tool to attract the Vajra for experiments on how to control them during their attacks. During the first attack on Frontier, Ranka is "found" and brought to Grace's attention through the blood tests of "those exposed to the aliens". And so we see how things have unfolded. These are just my personal observations and speculations and are worth exactly the cost of admission to come read them, but I'd love to hear feedback... For me though, this theory would tie up a lot of crazy stuf we're seeing... I'm lovin' this series... In Kawamori we trust! PS: the block copies Adobe After Effects online manuals as body copy for medical research articles is cracking me up! Great inside joke. Better than greeking! |
