wow, they are really fast in subbing...

Hence the term "speed sub." :rolleyes:

Holy plot twist Batman, you're right! Damn, I can't believe I only realized that Kikuko Inoue was the Boss' VA in Snake Eater.

Miss Inoue is capable of many voices other than the sweet, innocent, goddess, melt-your-soul type.

Chihiro are a true speed sub group.. their founder said something like this on Suki.. the reason she made this group was because she got sick of seeing speed subbing groups going, "translation done just waiting on karaoke!".

Also, since my Japanese is kind of rusty, did Luca say that they were using VF-20s in the movie, posing as VF-0s through the use of CG? Edit: Never mind. He said VF-25; missed the "go" at the end there. It's just that the plane without markings looked like a different Valkyrie.

yay more color variations to sell. :ph34r:

Who voiced the Mr. Director?

just mentioned a few posts back.

the 'director' role's VA is 坂口 候一

I didn't care for the Chichiro sub of ep.9 but I may get this just so I know sooner what all was going on, but I might wait until there is more seeds. However I will definitely replace it with AiA once out, they are the best non-Shinsen sub group now that Gattai is gone (and they were getting very good with Frontier when they stopped). Still waiting ever so patiently for Shinsen sub of ep.7.

You mean really fast in "subbing"....

just wait for the good one, folks.

But a lot of people here like myself watch the raw with no knowledge of Japanese, so these people really shouldn't mind a speed sub group. heck I watch every Frontier episode about 2-3 times anyway so I don't mind a half assed sub.

Robocop was more machine than man, but he was a good guy!

However, since this is Macross, Brera's probably somewhere in between. As in, he's just an ass. A well-meaning one (re: saves Ranka's life), but an ass all the same.

When Brera appeared Ranka said "Onichan" shortly afterwards... Could he be what remains of her real brother? :huh:

And again... a Super Dimension Resonance Crystal was shown... Grace in disguise gave it to Leon... ^_^

I'm even more intrigued by the absence of the UN Spacy Kite after hearing of it's return in this episode.

I've always looked at the "They're not using the kite because they want to market the show in the U.S." as pure speculation that started to get accepted as fact.

Maybe Big West just decided it was time for a change? Or maybe it's due to return in some suitably dramatic fashion.

Wasn't that Sheryl's earring...?

I noticed that the SMS logo kind of looks like a honeycomb.

I don't know why that's significant. :blink:

noticed when brera saved Ranka from that Hydra attack (why'd they call it a hydra? -.-), Ranka remembers her past, and she was talking to herself about her brother (dying) in that vajra attack?

there's a very good chance someone's found their relative. :ph34r: and a good chance brera was rescued had to become a cyborg to survive.

Maybe Ranka is a cyborg like brera??

I agree, but don't you think it would have been easier for someone with as much cyberware as her to just change hair color, instead of hacking off her mane, then having to grow it back?

And isn't the new "guy" tallers then Grace?

Seeing as she's got a gunshipload of implants, I wouldn't be surprised is getting the hair back isn't a big deal for her.

I thought it was Grace in disguise. Leon was disguised as a Belushi.

I know that, it's just that, well I never really cared to check the credits of MGS3 having played it in English.

Is it me or Nanase only wears her school outfit to everything? She's at movie premiere but still in it!

Well she has had 3 outfits so far, her school uniform, her Nyan Nyan outfit, and that towel in episode 8. Maybe they have been too busy designing clothes for Sheryl to bother with her.

Sounds a bit Ghost in the Shell-ish, I like it!

Luca secretly steals her other clothes, and gives them names. :ph34r:

So why was Bobby acting as Ranka's escort at the movie screening, and not Ozma? I find that to be an odd omission. It should have been her brother sitting next to her... And Ozma only had one brief scene during the episode. I hope Alto didn't have to turn down an invitation from Ranka to be her date...

I also noticed the similarity in the shape and size of the crystal with Sheryl's earring. But Sheryl is wearing hers throughout the episode. So unless the one Alto had survived the destruction of the Vajra mothership and someone picked it up...

(not likely, but we don't know what exactly they are so there is a very very very very very small chance...)

Any mention of why Sheryl was wearing Ex-Gear when we first see her in the episode?

Nice scene between Sheryl and Alto when Sheryl kissed him. Though I suspect that if Mikhail had seen it he would have muttered another "Baka!" :p

Though I couldn't understand a word of the dialogue, for some reason I got the impression that Brera was in trouble for acting to save Ranka. I've a sneaking suspicion that Ranka isn't part of Brera's official mission onboard Frontier, but is instead something that he's stumbled across on his own - probably as part of the background that people here are guessing about. And since then, keeping an eye on her has become his "hobby", so to speak.

Possible flaw in the "Grace is Brera's boss" argument, though a minor one. The individual that Leon meets with (who is presumeably Brera's boss) uses a cellphone to pass information to Leon... but Grace hasn't been seen with one to date. Instead, she appears to use an implant that works as her cellphone. That's not a major objection (it wouldn't be hard to get a cellphone), but it is an interesting thing to note imo.

Ozma only ever goes to Fire Bomber concerts and movies starring Basara and/or Mylene. :lol:

It might simply be part of her cover, you can never be too careful you know.

yeah! that explains her protrusion. :ph34r:

definitely was Grace. Confidential email sender is from 'G', ending credits show her name when she "didn't appear" in the whole episode. U dont see Klan Klan in the credits this week. Sorry KK fans... we had enuff of KK last ep :ph34r:

j/k i like KK too :p

Well she has had 3 outfits so far, her school uniform, her Nyan Nyan outfit, and that towel in episode 8. Maybe they have been too busy designing clothes for Sheryl to bother with her.

If that's the case, i'd like to see her in her towel outfits at the movies. :ph34r:

next ep, she gets her 4th outfit - swimwear :o:D too bad we have to wait 2 weeks... duh... :angry:

Sounds a bit Ghost in the Shell-ish, I like it!

Luca secretly steals her other clothes, and gives them names. :ph34r:

yea, Grace could be something like Ghost in the Shell. but she likes blue hair :huh:

i bet Luca wants that swimwear next ep... ^_^

Sheryl and clothes? Hmm, I'd swear she wears barely any! I like it that way though ^_^

junior: Bobby work as Ranka's make-up artist, that's probably why he went.

This ep was a lot more straightforward to me than the others (not as easy as ep 9 though) with the exception of the advice Alto says to Ranka early on. I hate evil lines like that >=O

Oh, and I'm going with Brela Sterne in my translation. It's way easier to say and read than Brera and it's likely that one of those Rs is an L.

Oh and Aimo lyrics, finally! Well, "lyrics."
