Ask him if he needs a spaceship, obviously.

That ending would completely and utterly suck and sour me on the series and franchise forever.

Beg pardon? When did Kaifun create a rip-off of Fire Bomber? Some console game?

And the kiss was acted. Because he is, in case anybody forgot it, a professional actor. Since childhood.

It seems that in the new Macross Zero Blue-Ray, they inserted Sheryls earrings in a scene where Sarahs and Maos family connection is pointed out. That should make a family connection between Mao and Sheryl a lot more likely. Seems that the same surname wasn´t just a coincidence.

Did you ever watch what they have as a lead-in for Macross? I imagine a 30 minute comercial of Sheryl reading the phonebook would bring more ratings than that. ^^

Again...didn´t Westlo say that the concert was to be concurrent with the end of Frontier?

Didn´t Westlo say a few weeks ago that the concert will coincide with the final episode?

Well, if Leon acts as he should, his next step is to kill Ozma and Cathy. Which probably means that a.) Both of them will go underground and b.) Alto will be the new Skull Leader.

Wow, an arranged marriage which totally leaves out any freedom or desire. I can, like, totally see how Alto won´t be able to resist! <sarcasm>

Thanks for the acclaration! I took the liberty of cross-posting those spoilers to Animesuki, credited to you, of course.

Wait, Ranka and Brera "escape" to or from Galaxy? And Nanase is only injured? I guess that means that Michael will survive, if they will only injure Nanase. ^^ And no big surprise that Ranka needs to be rescued again... besides singing and mooning over Alto, it seems to be her third favourite pasttime. ^^

If they´d get over themselves and publish better resolution quality than 848x480, then I´d agree. Their subs are good quality.

Whoever made that "pineapple salad" reference the stock phrase for a possible character death should be shot through the nuts. And, no, I don´t mean Kawamori. I´m betting against a Michael death, because his arc isn´t finished yet and because it is too obvious. Again. It´s not as if some people made a certain mistake prior to episode 17, isn´t it?

I don´t think so. I tend to go with Swampstorms interpretation, that Alto wanted Sheryl to see how much her words from back then had inspired him. But, as I said a few posts above, he really did choose a lousy venue to do so. It´s not impossible. Some things that Michael said were major death flags, but I still hold out hope that it won´t be him. As for Klan, if things move fastly, i.e. the Vajra attack and Leon makes his move, then she is in the unenviable position to be caught in the trouble while micronized. It stands to reason that Michael would want to protect her. As long as she´d need to set herself or a puppet up to take over from him. But then again, why do so, if Leon already so willingly obliges?

I think he was trying to show Sheryl how skillful he is at flying, tying back into their conversation about how her past words of encouragement for him and Ranka have helped them. But, yeah, a lot of facepalming going on at my home, about how mixed a signal that was. Trying to show one girl how much her words meant to you, by flying an arrow through a heart at the *other* girls concert. Geeze, blockhead. Good that Michael finally hit him with the clue-by-four and gave him the cluephone. Let´s see what comes of it next week ( prediction: Not much, Vajra attack and Leons coup delay anything substantial ). About Sheryls and Altos embrace, either she confessed ( eh, not so likely ) or she told him about her condition ( more likely ). We will probably get a short flashback to it at the beginning of next episode, before the poo hits the fan.

Seeing that the preview shows her sitting on the stair she just ran up, I´d say he doesn´t have to go far to find her. ^^

What of it? Right, take one quote and forget the rest of your opinion, which was overwhelmingly "Sheryl is just a street girl, more would be needlessly confusing". I think not. Ah, screw it. I got better stuff to do this evening. Watching Sheryl, reading the Pathfinder RPG beta, going to see Clone Wars... it´s a good evening. This sweet victory just makes it better.

I´ll leave it at that. <Numfar: Do the dance of joy!>

Ahem... I distinctly remember you saying that Sheryl being only a child on the street which Grace picked up was so much better and likely...

Wut? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Oh, well. The Pathfinder RPG beta should be downloadable by the time I get back home, anyway.

Oh, so your defense now is "I don´t care if you were right, my opinion is just better!"?

True, true. But there is some very good stuff, too, like Swampstorms posts. And haha! Vindication on Sheryls origin is mine! <points to the News thread>

YES! Vindication! <happy dance> Take that, Togo! "Uh-oh" to that. I´d rather have an organic ending, rather than a "surprise" one.

QFT on all of this. Sheryl ganbatte!
