d3v Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 EP.10 I wonder if episode ten will reveal anything about Sheryl's relationship (if any) to the Nome sisters from Zero.
Westlo Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I wonder if episode ten will reveal anything about Sheryl's relationship (if any) to the Nome sisters from Zero. I'm curious about that.. I mean why is she even at the movie? While at first people thought she was going to be playing Sara Nome recent talk has had the Miss Macross winner playing Sara Nome. With Ranka playing an extra but moving to the role of Mao Nome after the original actress gets injured. Maybe Sheryl was meant to sing the theme song for the movie and gives it to Ranka after she gets the Mao roll as a help to her career? Or is she at the movie because she has a connection to the Nome sisters... Find out shortly anyway...

Zinjo Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 She'll do Planet Dance all right, along with the rest Skull Squadron while riding a pink custom VF-25 "Sheryl Special". Oh no, hers is the purple one we saw before the series started...

Kronnang Dunn Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Oh no, hers is the purple one we saw before the series started... All that joking/mockering of Macross 7 will invoke the Macross 7 spirit to spread all over this series... (You have been warned, hehe...)
Legend of TSXer Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Happy 19th Birthday to Megumi Nakajima! Check out her birthday cake. Uhhh pardon me for being slow but, but who is that girl in the yellow dress next to Ranka in the cake? Why does she look like Reika Mishima?
Beltane70 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Uhhh pardon me for being slow but, but who is that girl in the yellow dress next to Ranka in the cake? Why does she look like Reika Mishima? I'm going to guess it's supposed to be Megumi Nakajima herself.
papabear Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 NINJIN LOVES YOU YEAH! Cute. Any more photos or links?
Gubaba Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I have to say I really like the way the singers are billed..."Sheryl Nome starring May'n," "Ranka Lee = Nakajima Megumi"...they fit the characters.

Morpheus Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Wow thanks Kresphy, interesting notes about VF-27 there. Now someone need to clean this one up and send it to Mr.March.
Major Focker Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 that is one BFG didn't realize it was that big from watching the episodes. but here it's shown to equal or even exceed the length of the VF (reminds me of the Bebop SwordfishII). presumably that explains its anti-capship capabilities
Sulendil Ang Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) WHAT THE FREAK DOES JAPAN WANT THEN? What, I thought that since episode 8, we should have a clear idea of what Japanese people really want? Edited June 6, 2008 by Sulendil Ang
Mr March Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I knew that blade in the VF-27's shield would extend forward The ratings make total sense. Episode 7 was wall to wall action and generated a surge of popularity via word of mouth. Episode 8 now benefits from a huge audience that heard all the great things about episde 7 and decided to tune in. Episode 9 drops off because Episode 8 wasn't the big bombastic battle show that people were lead to believe. And yes, television viewers are just that fickle
Kelsain Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) Looks like it does transform just like the 25 - the arms are even the same shape. I can't figure out where those big shoulders are coming from, though... Edited June 6, 2008 by Kelsain
azrael Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 WHAT THE FREAK DOES JAPAN WANT THEN? Obviously they don't want what was on last week by those ratings. This kinda says something: *4.8% (*7.4%) 06/01 (Sun) *8:30am-*9:00am TV Asahi Yes! Pretty Cure 5 Go Go! A 2.6% drop? On a Sunday show. In the morning slots. I don't think Japan was watching too much TV last week. 15.2% (16.3%) 06/01 (Sun) *6:30pm-*7:00pm Fuji TV Sazae-san Sazae-san took a 1.1% slap to the face last week as well. So I think the numbers are consistent. People just didn't want to watch TV last week It would be nice to get some full page scans of Newtype to update the Compendium with.
biggooftoybox Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Upon looking at those pictures, it sure looks like the VF-27 transforms almost identical to the VF-25. But with such a big gun, it can't possibly be good for short-middle range combat unlike the VF-25's rifle. Doesn't the VF-27 remind you of the SR-71 Blackbird?

I tend to believe the VF-27 is an interceptor and anti-capship fighter. Not a meat and potatoes fighter the VF-25 is.
Master Dex Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I tend to believe the VF-27 is an interceptor and anti-capship fighter. Not a meat and potatoes fighter the VF-25 is. I agree. On another note I was sure the transformation was the same, seems to be true. I like that big gun, but definitely not good if Brera is going to be dogfighting Alto, make he'll get another gun? I really like that wrist/shield blade thing the VF-27 has, I was originally hoping for something like that on the VF-25, but hey got a tradition handle knife instead.
darkrealmbahamut Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I tend to believe the VF-27 is an interceptor and anti-capship fighter. Not a meat and potatoes fighter the VF-25 is. That makes sense considering its speed and the fact that it seemed to have a rough time in hand to hand. Plus that BFG it sports seems over kill to use on a fighter.
UN Spacy Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 What, I thought that since episode 8, we should have a clear idea of what Japanese people really want? It seems that gg is dropping Macross Frontier. [19:13] *** now talking in #gg [19:13] *** topic is STATUS: R2 dropped due to TL /ragequit and gb2 World of Warcrack. (P.S. - koda left cause Jaka pissed her off) | dropping macross f as well fart you world | notsol will translate hentai for gg | CURRENTLY UNDER REORGANIZATION(NEW MANAGEMENT) | (@notsol) if anyone has hentai suggestions they want subbed lemme know || Quitting capping, gl hf.

Episode 9 drops off because Episode 8 wasn't the big bombastic battle show that people were lead to believe. And yes, television viewers are just that fickle The thing is with Gundam SEED the big battle episodes got high ratings and the ones after dropped, I think most people watching these shows so late at night know what's going to be in the episode too... I mean if I'm going to stay up to 2am to watch something I'll definitely look up what's going to be in it. Also going by this theory than episode 4 caused a rating drop that took until episode 8 to recover and episode 4 was a great mix of everything.
Kelsain Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 From here... I meant in the transformation, not stylistically... I'll have to wait for clearer pictures, but I don't see the white shoulder markings on the dorsal or ventral surfaces. Of course, if the intakes stay on the chest instead of the legs, then there may be some more areas in there for shoulder armor. On another note... Am I the only one who thinks about Gatchaman when I see the VF-19S?
