| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- While this episode had no action scenes it's probably my fav of the series so far, the interaction between Sheryl and Alto is good fun to watch and it was nice to see their relationship grow over the course of this episode, I definitely prefer this pairing. Sheryl was pretty awesome this episode, she should win over a few people, this episode also looks like it foreshadows the double "turn" thats bound to happen. We hear the studio version of Sheryl's What About my Star as well as a Ranka version sung live. Find out more about the Varja, see some more between the secondary triangle in Ozma/Kathy/Leon and Sheryl's home fleet Macross Galaxy is under attack. |
| I really liked this episode but I like the dedication of Alto to Ranka. I hope they pair over Sheryl and Alto. Rank seems immature and young but I think her personality would good for the fallen Prince. |
 Life is a fruitbasket of miraculous oddities!!! |
| Great episode, even if there was no action at all. I'm impressed how much this episode changed my opinion about Sherly. When I started watching Macross F I didn't really like her but after this episode it changed completely. She is so much better if not in her bitchy mode and of course the locker scene made me ROFL. Also dunno if its just my imagination or the character animation quality is getting better. I really hated how characters looked in ep1 but in this episode it was really nice. |

| Good episode. I liked the scene where they Alto threw the paper plane, and mused that they were all meant to do what they did (flying, singing etc). |
| A good eps all around I also was impressed how good they changed my opinion of Sherly. I think she needs Alto more then Ranka... although, I don't see it going that way. |
| I still don't like Sheryl too much but I don't dislike her anymore. But I'm not sure what pairing I'd go for at this point. Back to the episode though, it was quite nice even though it didn't have much action. Waiting for next episode for that =P |

| Great episode. I like Sheryl a lot. Wow, Altoh was HOT in this episode! *_* And all his cute blushes! Wah... I love how the macross frontier city is San Francisco... but cleaner XD |

| Even though this episode didn't had any action scenes, it was great!! Really enjoyed Ranka's song :D Also enjoyed the Altoh X Sheryl moments ^^ |
| Awesome despite the fact there was no battle. |

| Great episode! I am positively hyper about getting my hands on the soundtrack/vocal collection! The music is some of the best for this season! |

| This show continues to impress. I was smiling through the whole episode and really enjoyed the insert song. There's amazing music in this series and I know Yoko Kanno is to thank for that. As far as the pairings, I like Alto x Sheryl, if only because Sheryl is too hot to be left alone. Will be interesting is we see the last of Sheryl for a few episodes in the next episode. |
 |
| Great ep! Looking forward to more! |
 |
| meh, this about was good. Ranka is a good singer, and she has the determination. And this confirms more about the connection between Ranka and the Vajra and yes, this episode confirms that Sheryl is still a clinging slut. I haven't changed my opinion. |
| That was a throw away episode, teenage love triangle drama, Sheryl fanservice, and crappy songs (good singing though, but those have to be the worst lyrics ever). The end was interesting, with the drone spazzing out and everything but other than that not very enjoyable. But hey, they can't all be winners. |
 |
| conclusion: IZ DAT SUM FOLD BOOSTER? |
| The episode was good, looking forward to the next one :] |
| We're all insane |
| Frontier is a love story set in space (Kawamori's words not mine) so how's this a throwaway episode? The 3 things Macross has been famous for the last 25 years is Mecha, Music and Romance. Escaflowne has the same formula and it's also by Kawamori. |
| Nice episode, great change of pace~ Poor Ranka =/ I hope she gets with Alto |
 |
| Won't know until the OST comes out. |
| OMG, did the Vajra awaken because of Ranka? This series is aiming at the top....top 100 by the end for sure. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Yes Wakka9ca he probably did. I want the OST SO DAMN HARD!. Excelent episode. |
| A great episode despite the absence of epic-mech-action. Sheryl gained a few points in my book after this episode. |
    |
| Heh, it seems we all have different impressions of Sheryl after this ep. -- for me, it was slightly negative. On the one hand, it was cute when she visited the Ventradi mall, but she was a bit too (unrealistically) tsundere. Also, for being an international idol, her songs are pretty Engrishy~ *non-serious jab ^^* Honestly, I'd just like to see more of the "I got where I am on my own and I'm not taking crap from anyone" Sheryl. Ranka was really cute though ^^ Also, I love how everyone's cell phones are so ... unique (I thought it was just Ranka, but her brother has a cool cell too). |

| I wonder how many other parallels this will have to the original Macross. I don't know who I'm rooting for, can't wait to see the next episode! |
  |
| This show needs to find it's direction. The plot is not tightly constructed at this point. This was a pointless episode as well. Get the plot actually developed before you put any episodes like this one in. |
 |
| great episode. i'm starting to like sheryl but i'm really hoping for ranka to go for alto. argh, sometimes love triangles can be evil. what a pity, that it is still one month until the soundtrack is released. |
| enjoyed the episode and also can't wait to get my hands on the soundtrack~ |
| One two three four, where the frick is the door.. |

| Poor Ranka... |
 |
| LOVE TRIANGLE.. haha but then i think Ranka is a lil young, i mean is she in highschool?? or middle school? haha the ending was nice ALTO what a PLAYA =] |
 |
| It's not really a love triangle. I don't see a Alto x Sheryl, she's more like a helping force heh. It might seem that way for Ranka but I'm sure she and the princess will get together. :D Episode was amazing. Details, good humor, plot. Loved it! |

| Pretty good episode, hawt locker scene is hawt. Ranka has a good voice but damn those lyrics were messy :P |
    |
| Well, seeing how original Macross went, I also see no space for Sheryl x Alto, though I would not be too happy about Alto x Ranka right now. It's just more cool to watch (for the viewer) with Sheryl. Episode was pretty good again. |

| Sheryl's more in line with Misa than Minmei in terms of what type of character she is, just ignore that she's an idol. Even the manga for this points this out. http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=page2tub1.jpg |

Westlo said: There's a reason why most Misa fans have flocked to Sheryl and most Minmei fans have gone to Ranka.... I was a Misa fan but I went to Ranka first. Although more recently I've been favoring Sheryl. |
| But you have to ask yourself, did you like Misa at first? She was a complete bitch to Hikaru at first.Ive been a day 1 Sheryl fan but Misa it took me awhile.. Bye Bye Mars was a good one and than gradual development of her character and relationship with Hikaru totally won me over. |

Bye Bye Mars was a good one and than gradual development of her character and relationship with Hikaru totally won me over. Thats a good point, although with Misa I didn't even realize she was a significant love interest until like 6 or 7 episodes in. Whereas with Frontier I knew right away that the love triangle was going to be Alto/Ranka/Sheryl. |
| I liked the episode even though there wasn't a battle. I really liked Ranka's song. |
| Nice episode, really peaceful and refreshing. |

| Great episode despite missing action. Locker scene was hot XP |
