i really feel for sheryl after that....i'm on her side now.
and don't bash me here: i think Ranka singing at the cockpit is the most uncool thing ive ever seen

.....and mao? is that you??WTF!!!!

Is it me or do you all think that the ending will be something like this: Ranka and Sheryl die, Alto left alone to reconcile with his family.
After all, that guy doesn't deserve any of them, maybe loosing both people he loves can change over his annoying character.
Michel + Klan = OTP

And sheryl in Alto's house! whoa here! *gotta stop thinking about perverted things*

sorry for my lack-of-deep-thought rant here.

I was quite surprised at the cameo of Mao there from Zero. Too bad Brera saved Alto's ass again.

The OP was pretty damn good. Sheryl looked pretty hot in it.

I AM REALLY PISSED AT GRACE! I want this character dead by the end of the anime or before. I am sorry people but REALITY CHECK: you do not take a person under you care from the streets just to experiment, use them, discard them and leave them to die. SCREW YOU GRACE O'CONNOR! Sheryl will be back if anyone is smart it's Alto and he will know what to do with her to beat all the bad guys. I really don't like this idea of long-range fold transport cause it may have a effect on the Vajras or eggs inside the space ship. No one noticed that they started to react right after the transportation!? Someone please invent new weapons for YF-25s cause they suck now in battle unless they all get the quantum beam cannon. You know if all think here they can at this stage duplicate the fold cannon and miniaturize it into one for the Valkyries. I really feel bad for Sheryl and also WTH is wrong with everyone, no one seemed to care that she was suffering on the street. That's really bad and even happens in our society. Being selfish makes one no better than scum! Anyone know about "OPERATION FAIRY HORN" and its implication? Yeah Ranka looked definitely like Lynn Min Mai in this sequence. Isn't that Mao doctor dead? If she is from Macross Zero than she would be really old now and is Grace human in this time when she was with Mao? I don't like the way Luca is being treated. Would be cool if he betrayed those ass*****! LOL yeah that would be good! I wonder if all this is to destroy the colony from the inside, I mean we can assume that is what caused the Galaxy to be killed off. I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE DARK PLOT GOING ON! Sounds like all humans are to be hosts for Vajras, Ranka also exhibited some weird internal reaction just like before plus it looks like a Fold Quartz crystal...WTH and WTF????

There is no freaking way. Alto is going to help her. Who's fault do you think it is anyways? Grace's since she is the one who planned all the BS on the planet where the 33th Marines of the Zeltadi got killed and also where that creature with type V infection was. If anything Grace should die ASAP!

was that a towel? I thought it was a piece of clothing bobby was fighting over.

if grace dies the only antagonist left is the guy with the lame haircut, chill out fanboy.
id rather have a cute girl villain, otherwise it'd degrade into some ozma/leon/kathy triangle .

Haha, same. I was under the impression it was a shirt or something. It figures Bobby would be fighting over something like that with someone though.

All-in-all this episode was pretty damn good. The new OP is absolutely fantastic, the animation is something else. Sheryl is essentially being set up to die, which could likely lead to the death of Ranka and her never ending selflessness. However, when you toss Mao, Grace and Ranshe into the roles people who initially prevented the virus, who the hell knows what'll happen.

I'm not sold on the idea of both Ranka and Sheryl dying either, while I can see Alto reconciling with his family in one form or another, I'd still prefer to convince myself that they can't both die. Anyway, I can't wait for next week, this is only getting better, easily one of my favorite episodes to date.

Oh, and Angel please use paragraphs. Walls of text are not fun at all to read.

Implants? I saw her being treated in a machine that is used for cyborgs but why would they implant her with devices when she was given receptor blocking medicine? The only reason would be to experiment on her but then it goes back to what I said earlier: using a human as means to an end is = to you being trash in my book.

sheryl is really pitiful now...that's what I call tragic end...

this episode was really epic.

I am wondering, Zerg vs. Vajra, who will win? (my guess is the Zerg, as they will assimilate the Vajra to make them serve the Queen)

As for the episode, it was good. I'm a Sheryl fan so it was kind of a "well damn" type of episode, but I think the series is setting Ranka up for a major fall.

So that was the gimmick. Are you all saying that her breast implants might be somewhat the cause of her illness? Personally I don't think Sheryl needs any of those, I mean natural is better in the end. There is one point though, implants no matter how they are looked always can have complication even through another disease.

I watched this a second time and cannot still find or even suppose how is it that Sheryl caught that infection other than during the episode of Ranka and Alto filming Macross Zero movie when that beast came but I think the critical thing was when Grace replaced that single blood sample with another. The implants just may have complicated things.

Sheryl may have caught the virus when she was in the slums...think of the virus as a clear reference and figurative metaphor of HIV virus. It seemed the infection was never really cured, despite the implication of Mao Nome in the research....

No, all we're doing is commenting on how her tits became massive. This has nothing to do with the story, her tits are just huge now. Especially in the OP. Forget plot, forget any of that. Sheryl's tits are huge~.

If Sheryl didn't receive the infection from the ghetto/slums like Wakka stated, my theory is she was explicitly given the infection by Grace, due to the fact she had knowledge of the virus. At no point was it stated when the virus was given to her, so it's possible after the research ended or somesuch, Grace went off and started her own plans for world domination. Plan: Make a girl from the ghetto into a ticking time bomb of her own death, cause her to gain fame, then shatter all her dreams. Or she actually could be a living test subject for it. Who knows.

I agree but I do thing as for Grace's true intention...they are most certainly yet to be revealed at the very least in more details.

I really liked the new OP. a tad too flashy, but without being spoilerific. Though its still nowhere near as good as Triangler.

<--------Maaya Sakamoto Fanboy =P

as for the episode itself, I thought it was very good, considering that some of the previous ones were subpar. More Klan X Michael is always good since I always find myself laughing (sometimes laughing way too loud) when they're in the same room.

Next episode should be a damn good one just because Sheryl will be wearing a kimono. :D

The new OP is really good but I'm still amazed at this second ED, it's SO fantastic. One of the best I've ever seen honestly.

The episode itself was really good too, Sheryll made a big impact on the show in the first part, with her past and emotions revealed, and then we have yet another battle in space and then a giant fold. I wish the fold part would have been described better, with the loss of identity and place that the inhabitants of Frontier must feel etc... but I guess this theme is too SF for Macross which is more or less an entertaining action/romance show with a plot that is far more developped than its characters' feelings and thoughts. Which is not bad actually as the show works very well like that !

Tragedy. Grace is a complete jerk and I really want to know what's going on (isn't the pretty purple haired lady just some used body?). There are lots of things I can't remember.

I'm a bit torn about liking Ranka. She's nice, but being exploited, while Sheryl just got thrown out. Her safety can't be assured either.

The Vajra are getting annoying too.

and just for the record. klan is the best character in this show. the end.

they didn't become huge at all. They are the same. Just because she wore a tight corset style dress doesn't mean they are bigger. You people should learn the difference of perspective. Have you people never seen how real women's breast seem bigger or smaller depending on the pose and what they wear?

Anyway i find the new a major improvement from the last one. Btw if those are Sheryl's and Ranka's voice actors in the op then Ranka's voice actor got her ass beat.

Anyway the world is crumpling on poor Sheryl's head it seems. Deadly sickness and career going downhill. Let's see if there is a way for a cure to be found. Maybe threw the Varjas.
So Sheryl was an abandoned kid in the streets? Hmm...What happened to her parents and what exactly was Grace trying to do by initially helping her and now throwing her away to die?
I just don't get what exactly was it that she got out of using her for so long? Was she just testing that medicine?
