You gotta love HUGE scans from the latest Newtype Magazine. B))

Dude, there's a porn advert at the top of the page when I click on your images :)

Now granted, I selected the links to see some anime skin, but some guy's fist up another girl's backside is more than I bargained for :)

Does that mean this thread is gonna be closed? :huh:

ep 14 - Mothers lullaby

Mother's lullaby keeps the secret in the memory of Ranca

What is the truth that the memory points to?

And, what's the relation between Vajra and Brera and Ranka?

People with better grasp of the languages please correct me if i'm wrong :p

Wow... Finally we will know what's the story behind "Aimo" and why only Brera and Ranka know it...

Thanks... Will edit the Macross Frontier Wiki page A.S.A.P.... ^_^

I decided to drop the Episode 11 summary from the official site (http://www.macrossf.com/story/story_list.html) into Babelfish to see what came up -

Original Japanese version -

映画出演により、注目され始めたランカは、忙しい毎日が続いていた。

一方、アルトの前に兄弟子である矢三郎が突然現れる。

アルトの父・嵐蔵が倒れたので、家に帰るようにとアルトを諭す矢三郎。

そんなこととは知らず、ランカとシェリルは、それぞれアルトの誕生日を

祝おうと計画する。

After being mangled by Babelfish -

By movie performance, as for [ranka] which starts being observed, busy every day was continued. On the one hand, arrow Saburo who is the sibling child before the alto appears suddenly. Because the father stormy warehouse of alto collapsed, in order to return to the house, arrow Saburo who cautions alto. Such a thing you do not know, that you probably will celebrate the birthday of the respective alto, you plan [ranka] and [shieriru].

So it looks like

we're going to meet Alto's brother(?), Saburo, in episode 11. I'm guessing he's the guy in the middle picture on the episode 11 page.

Some corrections:

By movie performance, as for [ranka] which starts being observed, busy every day was continued. On the one hand, Shisaburo who is Alto's formal fellow disciple appears suddenly. Shisaburo urges Alto to return home because Alto's father, Ranzou, fell ill. Not knowing this situation, Ranka and Sheryl each plans her own birthday party for Alto

It's true and it looks like they copy and pasted my post from AnimeSuki... oh well not like I don't do the same :lol:

Old news too, Mike has it on his GR website awhile ago and it was posted on these forums before that

It's official guys, May'n said so.

http://mayn.horipro.jp/blog/2008/06/index.html

Look for the post with the image of a lion.

EDIT: Actually, I first saw it in COMA, but they didn't have the tracklist. I frantically Googled for this just to find a more official source. Then I went to YKFan to do more research, and they (un)surprisingly had it. And then I found out it's May'n who posted about it :p

Is there any significance in this being May'n instead of Sheryl Nome starring May'n or are they just trying to save space on the name lol?

Well I wish there is a significance, I like the "May'n voice" more than the "Sheryl Nome starring May'n voice". But the chances are slim, this is a Macross CD we're looking at and she should sing the Sheryl way to be consistent. Or else, people might ask, who is that singing with Ranka eh?!

EDIT: grammar

Episode 10 Rating = 1.5%

Japanese blog

*1.5%(*1.0%) 06/06 26:10-26:40 TBS マクロスFRONTIER

http://happyuki-blog.at.webry.info/200806/article_30.html

Looks like it aired later than it usually does, I wouldn't be too worried about the ratings anyway.. Code Geass and Haruhi were both rating 1-2% and went on to sell massively on dvd. (only shows to avg more than those 2 on dvd are Eva, MSG, SEED Destiny, SEED & Zeta Gundam).

Also these are TBS ratings... MBS broadcasts it the day before.. and you know if if I were in the Tokyo region.. I'm downloading the show (or watching it on NicoNico) and watching in Friday afternoon.. not staying up to 2 am to watch it..

I guess it is space... would be a handful to say "Lion by Sheryl Nome starring May'n and Megumi Nakajima = Ranka Lee"

Yeah, I pretty much expected that ep10 was going to be in that range being a character-centric episode and all ather than an action or humor-based one. The fact that TBS gets the show a full day after MBS also does help explain the number it gets, just take Library Wars for instance. It's only shown on one channel, Fuji TV and that is only avaliable in the Tokyo area. That show just about is in the top 5 rated shows every week with 3.0 as an average.

You're also right about the sales of the DVDs for Frontier. If the singles and OST sales is anything to go by, it is very popular over there at the moment and we can expect the DVD will sell like crazy next month.

That said we here probably like to rake over the ratings anyway since it's kinda fun and being fans would like to see it do well. If for nothing else but to celebrate everytime it beats CC.

But the DVDs don't have subtitles, so the non-Japanese speaking community will not be buying full-force, unlike the CDs which are not very language-dependent.

I don't know about that. You're talking about the overall sales including the online stores. The OST sales in Akihabara alone was tremendous with stores running out of stock by the end of the release day date. Granted Akihabara stores tend to release their stuff for sale one day early of the set release date but you get the idea. You basically can't find a copy anywhere there by the end of the day.

Now unless there was an invasion of western otaku tourists that day at Akihabara(Oh alright, so when is it not? But bear with me on this one...), that pretty much gives us an idea of the popularity of the show there at the moment. And I think the DVD sales will reflect that.

I dunno, I think the amount of cosplay costumes on sale on YHJ as well at cons is another indicator. Costumers won't go to all the trouble of making original costumes if there isn't a market or desire to wear it...

As for the BD discs, we still don't know if there is an English sub track. It could be something they are keeping quiet during the pre-order period. If word got out that there was an English track (assuming there is) then the pre-orders would get a boost but the profit margins would be poor since pre-orders tend to sell for less than release date orders.

Yeah I saw that.

The SRP is a bit high for a 1/72 kit though, 4200 Yen?
