Yeah Sheryl sucks and is destroying Ranka's career even though Ranka got signed covering a Sheryl song and refused Sheryl's offer for help. I still bet Sheryl will be the catalyst for Ranka to brake out into a stardom even with Ranka's refusal this episode.

It's 25 going by the dvd release. 9 Volumes Vol 1 = 1st episode (Final 32 min version of episode 1 + original Deculture version) Vol 2-9 = 3 episodes 3x8 = 24 + 1= 25

Find me an anime art director who calls a hand drawn scene cg. Good thing I won't be holding my breath for a reply

They seem a lot more suited to each other than Minmei and Hikaru ever were and with Sheryl being a star already they won't have any issues about stardom like those 2 did. Heck the main problem with Minmei and Hikaru was the time spent apart and with Sheryl signing up for a piloting class that's not going to be an issue here. Also Sheryl understands why Alto wants to fly (episode 5 conversation, episode 7 statement (If a pilot has to" etc and signing up to pilot herself) which is something Minmei never did.

Yeah I really like that one, was better used in episode 8 than 6. Fav bgm is what seems to be Ozma's theme, the one the starts up after he joins the battle in episode 2, was the same one that started playing when he transformed in the Deculutre version (I don't like how it this bgm was started earlier in the broadcast version.. lost some impact imo, wasn't timed as well)

I thought someone had stolen his account :lol:

Well yeah I agree pretty much with what you think so far, as for the catalyst...

Common sense and using the correct terms = western lexicon bubble? You know it's a misused term so why continue using it? Does Macross World look like a forum where CG sets from bishoujo/eroge games are the in thing? This is Macross World not hongfire. Stop spreading incorrect terms ffs... Let me guess you call Alucard.... Arucard because that's how the japanese do it yeah?

No that's called digital painting, you don't call hand drawn and animated stuff cg, get a clue please.

Will probably get multiple games focusing on different stuff.

A lot of recaps are made due to production falling behind, though if we do get a recap episode I hope it's like the recaps for RahXephon and Code Geass and isn't included in the official episode count. Of course another thing I hope we avoid if we get a recap is the Code Geass episode 24 and 25 situation... You're the next Nostradamus, the first info for the series had it set in a high school!

Goes to edit Don't Be Late to Don't Be Early on wiki.

Did she explain why in a monologue later?

Fun episode though I think I'll wait to the subs before giving it a rating since I want to know what was said in a few scenes.

crappy quality flv torrent is out.

Gundam 00 is quality, this scene kills anything in Frontier. http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vlcsnap28292hz9.png

Don't Be Late Diamond Crevesse What bout my star @ folmo (Ranka) Infinity What bout my star Aimo Triangler Intersteller Flight (only heard 1 minute preview, not that impressed atm, I'll rather this be the new ED than a new OP even though it's nowhere near as good as Diamond Crevesse... because this would make a lacklustre OP to say the least...)

I can't really hear Megumi's voice in the tv version but that's probably more because of the voices and sfx drowning it out more than her not being there. I'll give it another listen before while I download the raw for 8 tomorrow. And going by the updated ost tracklist you posted on your site the ost is May'n only.

Sheryl has more costumes than the majority of anime casts combined.

Definitely an uploader mistake since it's the concert Sheryl version as well as the Sheryl version we hear during the city date part of Sheryl and Alto's date. Also why do people call Infinity a duet? All ranka does is sing along with the crowd and I can barely hear her most of the time and Sheryl/May'n dominates that track... just doesn't fit what I consider to be a duet... more like backing vocals!

True. Code Geass and Haruhi had horrible ratings around the 1.5%-2.5% mark like most late night shows do. But they sold around 45k/41k per dvd volume each which placed them as 5th and 6th highest selling shows respectively. There was a youtube vid with this figures floating around.. every show from 2002 & up is the same as the oricon figures posted on AnimeSuki. #25 Gitsac 2nd Gig 19641 units #24 Card Captor Sakura 20192 units #23 Azumanga Daioh 23725 units #22 Air 23905 units #21 Love Hina 24013 units #20 Gundam ZZ 26028 units #19 Fate/Stay Night 26047 units #18 Gundam Wing 28469 units #17 Patlabor 28514 units #16 Initial D Fourth State 29508 units #15 Future Boy Conan 31158 units #14 Dragon Ball GT 31696 units (After 4 volumes Gundam 00 is at 32,805, massive drop from the 2 SEED series let alone Code Geass...) #13 Lupin The Third 1st Series 35331 units #12 Fullmetal Alchemist 36519 units #11 Nadia The Secret Of Blue Water 36821 units #10 Martian Successor Nadesico 37897 units #9 Dragon Ball Z 40065 units #8 Cowboy Bebop 40212 units #7 Suzumiya Haruhi 41307 units #6 Code Geass 44657 units #5 Zeta Gundam 54994 units #4 Gundam Seed 58563 units #3 Gundam Seed Destiny 69247 units #2 Mobile Suit Gundam 80928 units #1 Neon Genesis Evangelion 173458
