That possibly their mom who he calls old lady. Guess what reaction Millia would have if two of her daughters fight over one guy.

Cheese's analysis of that scene in Ep 22 is I think fairly accurate. I also believe that Alto really doesn't have a clue as to how to comprehend women's feelings towards him. After all the signs and hints and everything he's as dense a rock. Sad really. Great analysis. Looking forward to the fansubs to catch what I missed.

Did you guys notice that Macross F introduces the cutest little critters? First Ai-kun the baby Vajra and now baby whatever cat like thing from Ep 10.

You know, I'd actually buy one of them if they ever came out on the market.

Asking for one's age is a sign of your own immaturity.

That was uncalled for. Of course, you claim to state that you meant no offense. But what if I was to ask you if you were a witless fucking idiot? Then state I meant no offense at the end. I am sure you will most certainly take that as a personal attack, and if you don't, I suspect there might be something wrong with you.

You've based all your prior arguments about AxR based on pretty much one episode of the entire series. While Sheryl and Alto had been on a marathon, Ranka and Alto have yet to even begin a stroll in the park!

I think you are not only misunderstanding Sheryl's intention for withholding her illness but you are also completely missing the point.

Sheryl pushed Alto away previously because she had a disease which the best of human technology could not cure. She did not want him to be burdened with her. That was her love for him, her own selfless love for Alto.

When Alto knew about Sheryl's illness, everything clicked for him. He may be dense, but not that dense. Learning of Sheryl's illness allowed Alto to finally realize what Sheryl had actually done, emotionally, for him.

In contrast, what was Ranka's sign of affection? Calling Alto at 3am in the morning to fold airplanes, then suddenly summoned her Vajra and Cyborg bodyguards to threaten Alto's life while confusing the crap out of him at the same time. You call that love? Seriously, if you think that is love, then I begin to wonder about your concept of hate.

Giving us a AxR ending would be the most inconsistent conclusion in Macross, if not anime history. By forcing an AxR ending, the series would have completely destroyed any support (from Klan and Mike) that had been placed upon Alto's understanding of Sheryl and their eventual companionship.

Never mind that you'd destroy the fandom that way.

This is like Digimon all over again for me o.0 Even though it wasn't a romance anime, there were LOTS of hints to Sorato (Sora x Yamato/Matt) but the Taiora fans (Tai x Sora) kept saying there was nothing between them and just because it looks like Sora was more gentle with Tai that she would end up with him. (c'mon... Matt's crest was Friendship and Sora's was love, put 2 and 2 together...)

Then in season 2 came along and who ended up with whom? Yamato and Sora ended up together and to throw salt on the wound, they had 2 kids at the end of Digimon Season 2.

So this is why I am rooting for Sheryl x Alto, beat the cliches man!

[BetoJR]

I'm actually thinking "tragic ending" now, after seeing the episode (seeing, alright, as I can't understand almost any of the words, anyway). You know, kinda like those korean dramas?

[Key Board]

next episode preview confirms that Alto makes his "saigou no ketsudan"

final determination

judging by how he looks at the sky makes me think that he really wants to go with Frontier because their path embodies the "true sky"namely, freedom that he was yearning for all along

if this happens I think Sheryl will understand and let him go

Sky End +1

That's it's also possible that he will solidify his result to stay by Sheryl

It's the dreams vs reality angle all over again! Boy, every love triangle has one of these, lately.

[Ja-Y-Ce]

is next episode the "cooking porridge" episode? if so, maybe he will tell Sheryl his decision while cooking?

Ah! I am hungry.

[AlaAlba]

I ve just watched the eps, and it s a perfect 10 from me
but still, I ll wait until the very end of it to see if this really will be a sheryl ending

I think if that happens and he does go, maybe that is where Sheryl's illness will take a turn for the worse and by the time he gets back..... Sheryl where art thou?

[arkxkra]

good episode, i wonder why Klan didnt follow the big team, and few of them leave behind also, I want to know what Alto want to do from now on, he seem like lost.

Now we have to see if they kill Sheryl or not. There has to be more casualties in this show.

You really can't say x and x is predictable and x and x isn't with 3 episodes to go, it's like saying Buster Douglas is the obvious eventual winner of the fight in round 10 of the Tyson Vs Douglas fight when no one gave him a chance at the start of it. Also a Ranka ending is just throwing down the drain the parallels that Alto and Sheryl share with Alto and his mother and Klan and Michael. Not to mention that this couple has been far more developed (especially in 16-22) in the pretty much the entire show, episodes 12-14 aside.

I'll bet my peanut butter sandwich that there won't be a Sheryl ending. Before the Sheryl-fans launch a coordinated attack on me and my sandwich, I'll say the same thing to the Ranka-fans. Seriously, we lucked out on the pairing issue as soon as Ranka declared Alto-hime is the prettiest "Man" she has ever come across at the beginning of the series.

So you shipping for an Alto + Yasu ending or an Alto + Garby ending?

[SoldierOfDarkness]

Well someone's gotta stay behind to watch things. They can't just all ditch Frontier and leave them to hang and dry.

[kira-sama]

Spoiler for questions:

because i haven't watched the raw just want to ask questions
does Sheryl let Alto go to do what he want?

Nope! It's the fifth one: Alto and his mirror.

"mirror mirror on the wall.... " and so on.
