VF-25 Messiah Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Thanks again! Uhh! Alto is dead? Noone's stopping you from thinking so. Just don't get shocked next episode Edited September 18, 2008 by VF-25 Messiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whispo Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Ok just finished watching ....... OMG!!! That was one awsome episode. Amazingly nice looking, as in well animated. Wow the "Alto scene" was kind off really cool. I haven't given up my hopes for a SherylxAlto ending yet Edited September 18, 2008 by whispo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBot Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Pretty simple, the woman in the picture was not Mao's daughter, but daughter-in-law. Just a guess, I could be wrong here. Works for me. Not like we'll probably get a definite answer, anyway; there's surely not enough running time left to cover minor plot points like this. Heck, I'm gratified they got to it at all.

Not like we'll probably get a definite answer, anyway; there's surely not enough running time left to cover minor plot points like this. Heck, I'm gratified they got to it at all. It'll be clarified in some publication at some point, I assume. Alot of what we know of the Macross universe came to us that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isamu Starkiller Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 can someone do a side by side of the grand daughter pic and Alto's flashback of his mom? I just had a very disturbing thought...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Unlikely, Isamu. Sad to say Sarah's mom is prettier, and drawn by Mikimoto too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWolf Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Given Bilrer saying that he'll finally meet up with somebody. Shery'll being Mao's grandaugther and Alto inside the fold network when he was fried I think Bilrer could very well be Ranka's and perhaps Sheryl's grandpa. Grandma being Mao. But Sheryl is the granddaughter of Mao. Simple really Mao had two daughters. Ranshe taking after her Aunt Sara's looks more while the other taking Mao. Sheryl looking like her Aunt Ranshe while Ranka inherited the looks of her aunt and Grandma Mao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garou Kuroryuu Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) WAIT!... Why would Ranka sing "Ai Oboeteimasuka?" and WHY would it work at all? Isn't it supposed to be just a song which is part of a soundtrack for a fictional in-universe movie?????? I mean, considering this, even "Ai wa nagareru" should work as well. Or is there something I don't know that tells us that there was indeed an original & ancient Protoculture song that was "updated" for the movie?

Garou Kuroryuu Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) I think they just used that song because they like it so much. Plus, its pretty famous in their universe. I agree and concede that's the easiest answer to it. But still... kinda bugs me and throws the plot a little out for me. Hell, if Aimo is supposed to be a Vajra song, even the birdman version would have fit better, in my opinion. Still, an awesome episode. Enjoyed it a lot, was fricking screaming since the action began. I really wish the last episode gets extended air time, like... dunno, 45-50 mins? We really need that extended time to get a fully-fleshed ending with no loose ends. I think somebody said that Ai Oboeteimasuka was the last song of Minmay before Megaroad 1 disappeared. Any reference of it? Kinda remember something along that, but could a mess of my memory. Edited September 18, 2008 by Garou Kuroryuu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's becoming all the rage for shows to have a 25 episode broadcast and a bonus 26th episode on DVD, I wouldn't be surprised if Frontier does it. Not to say I'm expecting them to, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Vegeta Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Well, of course Alto was shot down. How else is he gonna get the VF-25 back? The original queen of Vajra looks dead to me. Did it ever move? From the way things are, I wouldn't be surprised if it was connected to the AFOS. FV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-25 Messiah Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Just realized... we actually do get to see the Battle 25 transform, if just a little... no focus on it at all and seems it only goes to half-point... and hard to make out on a non HD-raw, need HD raw now! ... anyway I'm such a slowpoke.

isa_o Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Dunno, sounds like Alto's the woman . I guess that might be better than being a girl . "I'm not an adult, I'm a WOMAN" ? Looked more ancient and faded to me. I knew it, another macross zero style ending. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmystyle Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 lol terminator Grace. Killed by her own hubris and because we all love crazy, off the wall predictions, Alto and Micheal roll in with style in VF-19s, proving once and for all that the character shield is the hardest known substance in the universe.

Duke Togo Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if it was connected to the AFOS. I would. After months of speculation and convoluted plot theories, in the end it didn't end up being that mysterious or complicated. The story itself is pretty simple.
