shadow has probably been busy with life. Patience all. Maybe if we're lucky, we will see the UN by the end of the year.

Ahhh anybody get any word on what happens? It's 11:30am in Tokyo isn't it?

All right then...bring on the gekijouban!

And for everyone who thinks that the movie will resolve the love triangle, I have two words and a number for you: Macross Dynamite 7.

I'm still on a super high from this episode...

Dude. You cannot be serious. Worst ending ever...?

Unsuccessful Sheryl-shipper is unsuccessful.

Can you guys not get it? Hello? Read what I'm freaking typing if you're capable of it. My complaints about this episode had NOTHING to do with the triangle, and everything to do with the execution, and the sloppy way they tied all the sub-plots up in 20 minutes, when they should have just extended the story for a 2nd season. God you guys are clueless.

This episode was a trainwreck. After three watches of it, I feel like I should be hitting some serious drugs to finish me off.

Once again. It wasn't about the lack of resolve on the love triangle. Get it? Mecha pron to the max, but slashing up a story, does not make for a good ending.

To a T? You can see that it was obviously a kiss to a T in a badly animated series with anime magic and animation bloopers?

If it happened, it would've been obvious and in your face to squash the opposing idea of them not kissing. But too bad it wasn't and the end proves that Alto can't give two fishes about Sheryl and Ranka at this point. He likes flying in a real sky above all.

Says who? Not every kiss is in your face in anime my friend. The kiss doesn't detract from his love for a real sky. No one ever said he had to choose one over the other. I love cars(got a good little collection started), yet I still have space for a relationship.

Oh yeah, and perma bans for all those who voted negative.

You just got no taste dudes

It was a great episode if you were on acid. The re-mixed songs clashing against each other, the pace that was ALL over the place, the resolution of multiple sub-plots, the finishing off of 3+ villians in half the episode... This deserved everybit of my negative vote. Leaving the romance angle aside, the rest of the episode was a complete mess.

Unless you were only in it for the Mecha porn and didn't care about anything else. Then this was a wet dream for you.

Worst ending episode for a Macross story ever.

Never happened. He was just comforting her.

And even if he did he was just being nice.

To deny it happened... I'd have to wonder if you've ever kissed anybody before. It's the exact motions involved to a T.

hehe am surprised that ppl can have a debate over this all you guys must going thru hell with the indecision on the love triangle

As I said, the lack of finish of the love triangle wasn't my biggest beef or even my 2nd biggest beef with 25. The music, and the plot endings really were a mess. Galaxy deserved a 2nd season.

Thank you VF-25!!! I knew I saw it that way too, just rewatched it to be certain!!!

If he's directly inbetween Frontier and Quarter, how exactly does he salute both girls again?

Yeah now.

I'd have not killed off Galaxy at the very least. Save up for a Season 2 and really take your time finishing the story. Don't half-ass it like they did. It's not like they'd be hurting for money with how successful this show is being merchandise wise. I don't mind another season or OVA's to get it done properly.

It was rushed too fast and they tried to tie everything up in one shot. It just didn't work.

Right...

The lack of resolution to the love triangle didn't bother me as much as the overall rushed feel of the episode. So much was resolved so fast you never could catch your breath. Ranka was saved in 20 seconds, Grace was defeated in 90 seconds, Galaxy was defeated in 60 seconds, everything was just wam bam thank you ma'am and done. The remix music was crap too. There was no flow at all, and the songs just clashed with each other.

Plenty of mecha-pron, but everything else was just crap.

His VF stopped between both Bridges. He saluted both.

He was facing Sheryl's bridge or did you not notice? And if he was saluting both girls, why didn't Ranka acknowledge it?

20 seconds in look at where the VF is facing. Even though he's inbetween both bridges, he's facing Frontier, not Quarter. Then look at when it flashes to Ranka's bridge and Sheryl is on the screen. Sheryl salutes, Ranka's just bobbing her head to her little dance routine.

Alto's VF-25 salute to Ranka & Sheryl was awesome, total homage to Hikaru Ichijo in DYRL!!

Alto Saluted Sheryl. She responded back with her own salute in the next immediate cut(notice Ranka didn't change her dance motion and follow suit like Sheryl did on Ranka's screen).

I cracked up as Alto pulled Ranka out.. right at that moment, they threw in Sheryl singing a couple lines from "My Boyfriend is a Pilot" Also the salute Alto threw the two as he headed off was pure DYRL.

Alto was Saluting Sheryl, then she saluted him back in the next scene through the screen. Ranka didn't get the salute, hence why she didn't return the salute...

Then what was the giant vajra that crushed the space station that Ranka escaped from? I thought that was the queen but apparently not. It looks like a giant version of the red vajra.

Alto x Ranka is the only way, Alto x Ranka is the only way, Alto x Ranka is the only way, Alto x Ranka is the only way

Frankly i don't think it will EVER get resolved. Oh and the kisses were ALL initiated by Sheryl....and Alto never ever savours the moment each time she does it. He's just doing it in pity of her.

You forgot episode 22 where Alto kissed Sheryl... -coughs-

Hang on, didn't somebody here predict Alto's death. Wait a second..... it was ME!!!!!

Taksraven

If you seriously think that Alto is dead after that scene, you haven't been around the anime world very long. Let alone the Macross world.

Hopefully after Ozma falcon punches him again... the idiot deserves it.

What did Alto do to deserve a falcon punch?

Looks as though Ranka crushed Alto. Wish it were true LOL...

Loved the irony where Ranka sings the same song that protected mankind from extinction!

Bless the little Queen!!!

Notice the explosion looks like an Arrow pointed back towards the human fleet.

Sheryl looked the best she's ever looked this episode.

Ep 24 was another surprise mouth2mouth kiss. Sheryl likes stealing kisses. What made it more strange was Alto didn't seem like he enjoyed any of them as much as he should. (at least close your !@*&(! eyes?)

The Alto

wanting to interrupt sheryl when she said "We should stop playing lovers"

now can be interpreted as "But Sheryl I want us to be real lovers" or "Sheryl, i'm sorry but I love Ranka". The ominous scene where Sheryl cries in ep 23 saying "mou sukoshii dake" still is poking me towards Alto x Ranka. But maybe that's cause she thinks she's gonna die so will give Alto up to Ranka but will not if she lives?

Not bloody likely at all, if you knew anything about Alto.

You seem to imply that VF-25 is inferior to both YF-19/21?

Yes

I gonna have to agree with this one here. Hikaru blew off Misa for Minmay and then he let her hang around. Alto hasn't even come close to doing something like that.

Agreed. I had to pick Hikaru for this poll too.

And something tells me you'd take Bobby over Ranka...or do you not hate her quite THAT much?

I'd choose death over either of those two if we're talking relationship statuses here.

Are you implying that Nanase is less than Ranka or Sheryl, or even Bobby?

If so, you clearly have no taste.

I'd take Nanase over Ranka or Bobby anyday. One eyed and all. If that makes you feel better.
