The Alto x Sheryl pairing sure is shaping up fast. This is probably just me being paranoid, but I'm really hoping this early relationship progression isn't just setting us up for a heart-wrenching tragedy later in the series.

I'm almost sure that if that happens, Alto x Sheryl shippers will crusade straight down to the studio and demand retribution. Hah!

In any case, there's what? 15 episodes to go (correct me if I'm wrong)? So there's a lot that can happen in that time. Plus, using Macross Zero this episode fit perfectly. Unfortunately I'm starting to remember the sadness from disappointment in Zero. Ah well, I do hope the "heart-wrenching tragedy" is avoided.

It seems like the next episode is going to feature Ranka more than Sheryl. IMO with how things are shaping up so far. I think Ranka is going to play a bigger role than Sheryl in terms of the overall Macross story, but Sheryl will ultimately play the bigger role in the romance factor.

Ermm. Love and peace.

I prefer the fightings take place in other forums than in a stable, sane, multi-flag co-existing forum as this one.

So many Sheryl x Alto fan here! Count me in! I think the reason why people like this pair is because they're fun to watch! Seriously, Ranka x Alto scenes are a little boring. I like Ranka but I don't want her to end up with Alto. Brera is there for Ranka.

It thought carrottop was a scrumptious ninjin. I knew dressing up in that costume was an accident waiting to happen!

(and her still being the galactic fairy is not my idea of a good ending since it just means she's where she was at the start of the show).

For all we know Ranka can "win" and yet it ends with a bittersweet ending.....

Given that this is Macross, we've seen the relationship switch-a-roo before. It could very easily go to Ranka eventually and then quickly and finally back to Sheryl. It's really hard to say at this moment since they could do a "time passes" point between episodes and age the characters multiple years. You don't know what Ranka may look like when she is the same age as the current Sheryl which I think is about 16. She might be a knock out and sweep Alto off his feet. Also until we know the final fate of the Galaxy we don't know if Sheryl will leave Frontier to go back home if it should happen to reappear.

Yes I noticed that and I don't think it's her earring. I think Alto still has that earring and she has the other one. This might mean that there are more than just two sets of those purple crystals. They may have some special properties about them we are not aware of yet. Which might also lead to Sheryl having more to do with the story than she does currently.

Yes I would be extremely interested in English translations of these blogs. Or even where they are at this point.

Great episode. Awesome creativity throughout and especially in the ending. A perfect 10 for Episode 10.

"Step back! step back! I expect a clean fight"



I quite enjoyed this episode and it is bringing about an interesting twist with the relationships. Sheryl threw the first punch by kissing Alto which allowed Ranka to "find" her feelings within the movie plot. Jealousy is the word...pure jealousy

But this is getting interesting. As Ranka rises into stardom could she actually begin to rival Sheryl? Will fame get to her turning her into some kind of monster? Jealousy is a dangerous thing but even more so when you have the power.

But I thought the final scene of the movie was beautifully done...makes me want to watch the full thing

Alto's fame is also revealed to be quite "lolol" ~ hime indeed ^^

Well there hasn't been any announcement regarding how long Macross Frontier will be, anyway I hope it will be a long ride, like 52 episode or so. There is the danger of it becoming too long and boring, but I think there is enough meet to have a nice meal 52 episodes long. The only requirement is a good director, like any other artistic work anyway.

I don't think it's so sure Brera is there as a pair for Ranka: I mean he could have any role, he's just too undefined at the moment.
I don't dislike Ranka, she's quite a nice girl for the moment: anyway she's on my watch list because she could take the Minmay route anytime and if that will happen I hope she gets eaten by some random Vajra!

I have a feeling: Galaxy's fate won't be so nice to know... anyway I think the side Brera is with doesn't care about Ranka's life, otherwise they wouldn't criticize Brera for making an unnecessary action. I'm very worried about the dialogue Leon had with the matrix look-alike secret agent: when Leon asked what they wanted in exchange for the Vajra's information the secret agent threw a Sheryl's look-alike ring to Leon. This could mean they want more of the material the ear-ring is made of or it could mean they want Sheryl's herself. If this side is the same Brera works for then it would make sense he got criticized for saving Ranka: they only care about Sheryl.

We know FOR SURE that purple crystal can be used as a medium to comunicate through long distances without suffering of folding dislocation. It could open a way to surpass all of the folding limits we've been taught about some episodes ago: cheep istant travel through the universe. It isn't a small thing and if Sheryl and/or Ranka are connected to it somehow they are in big trouble.

Alto's fame is on par with Sheryl it seems, at least on Frontier. Ranka and Sheryl had troubles appearing in the movie, in their own way, while Alto got PLEADED to appear in the movie. He even took the luxury to chose what role accepting... it's quite a rare possibility for an actor, even for a major one.

A Yahoo Japan article on Frontier (Adults can watch anime too) mentions October 17 as the ending date for Macross Frontier. We have a break next week and after episode 11 we have another break in between. So if still 25 episodes we have an extra 2 weeks... we have Olympics coming up... so that might be the additional 2 weeks break that makes it end on October 17th.

So Frontier will be 25 episodes long, of course their could be a second season (like Geass, Gundam 00 and Clannad) that continues it or it might even go the Macross 7 route and have OVAs.

Lets hope for two solid seasons of 50 episodes and then a couple or more of OAVs (4 episodes each) in between the gap from Frontier to wherever the dynasty leads us to next time.

I think evreything will depend on how much the publisher will earn from Macross Frontier. If it reveals to be a good money cow they will do a second season, otherwise not.

Yes the Hydra looked very detailed in some moments while in others it appeared like a crappy pokemon. This incostat art quality is a feature well present in this series it seems: it's not a problem of designers, because they have godly designers, but of budget I guess. And this is quite retarded because Frontier, if the legal problems will be risolved one day, will be the latest big Macross series around the world.

That is quite possible. Another question is what had she been doing with her Anima Spiritia powers all those times?

Oh wait...

That explains why Macross City got restored real fast after every Zentradi incursion!

Grace is reminding me more and more of Motoko Kusanagi, starting with wireless comm, uber hacking skillz and now she seems to be able to use a matrix-like agent proxy body to exchange info with Leon. Why this conclusion? If you watch carefully while Leon was talking to his subordinate and watching the VF-27 video, he receives a Confidential Message from "G" right before the scene ends. Also Inoue Kikuko, Grace O'Connor's seiyuu is credited in this episode despite the character not appearing at all. Finally we could also conclude the voice commanding Brera is her too, since Brera has a cyborg body and might come from Galaxy and infiltrated Frontier at the same time Sheryl and her arrived. As for their agenda, we'll have to wait till they reveal more.

As for this episode opinion, I was really surprised that most of the Macross Zero scenes were almost frame by frame copies of the original OVAs, just changing the original characters animation with the Frontier ones, yet I didn't feel like I was watching old material. It was refreshing and felt like watching Zero again.
