rubi Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) actually I was wondering the same thing. well maybe not a "love scene" but it did look like he went in for the kiss and or she maybe put her head up on his chest. There was definitely -a move- haha I had to back it up a few times since at first glance I was like did that just happen!? If it did, this is good for her....

shan Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 This episode ain't so bad. I like Sheryl's new song. I wonder which episode they're going to play it fully since we know we only have 25 episodes. Things I understood without the subs so help me God. Ozma and Cathy's investigation somehow led them to siding with the Vajra---maybe understanding why Ranka left---other than the fact that Leon isn't to be trusted. They informed every member of SMS that they'll be going after Ranka or something similar. Alto received the message, but was interrupted when Sheryl woke up. Alto was carried away by Sheryl's condition, I see it as a spur of the moment projected from what happened to his mom but don't let me ruin your own view, and told her that he'll stay by her side till the last moment. Cut to Ranka telling Ai-kun that she feels glad at the moment, but also in pain at the same time. I could only guess. Cut to Alto later on. He finally read the message and (my, is he afraid of Ranka now? what a face) chose to stick to what he decided nonetheless. As SMS Quarter made its departure, Klan (?), Luca, and Alto stayed behind acting as the opposition. Ozma and Alto had a showdown, and Ozma passive aggressively insulted Alto while they battle. He then confronted him and said, "To whom are your wings for?". He said Ranka chose her own path, he--himself--chose his own (which is to find Ranka), and brought back the question to Alto. "How about you? Where is your path?" Alto's frustration went max and all he could do was scream. The finale will absolutely be astounding with things being set-up like this. I can't wait. Great episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s-girl Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Nice infectology/virology tech talk there (I'm a medical doctor, so I understood everything, hehe)... But I think that in the end it will all depend on Kawamori's own personal choice, since he's the big cheese, not his writers... And don't underestimate metaphysical explanations, since "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"... I'm positive we are going to have serious "magical" stuff from now on until the end of the series... Yes, given Kawamori's tendencies, I am expecting a more mystical ending but with probably enough room for the nerds like us to suggest a mind-body connection (the potential mystical-scientific link). I figure there's enough literature to indicate that people have fought off cancer against all odds(and wi th chemo being of limited likelihood to succeed) simply based on a will to live. Sheryl's pretty strong-willed. And regarding the question about the risk to Alto, theoretically there is a risk... assuming there was exposure first and then on top of that, he'd have had to have enough of an infective dose. Disease is never that simple Just as there's a chance that Sheryl could fight this off on her own, there's probability that IF exchange of fluids is the main form of transmission, that anything from dose to Alto's own immunity could fight it off. Heh. Anyways... my download of the raw is done. bbl. must go watch and think nerdy thoughts. Edited September 4, 2008 by s-girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great episode. Don't think they directly sided with the Vajra. If you ask me it's because they now know Leon murdered President Glass, that's what causes the SMS to break off. The message that are sent to all SMS personell is probably for rallying them to this. Since Klan is seen saluting the Quarter, rather than trying to stop it I think we can assume she isn't opposing them... for now at least. I believe Ozma calls Alto something like a hothead, and that's why he didn't involve him. Also, he asks him if he isn't just riding along now, with the circumstances, with his feelings at this moment. (Like some acting princess perhaps? ). As opposed to have a reason for doing what he does. Ozma also says that his own course of action now is what is best for the sake of protecting his "precious women".

RF-26AAC Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 while everyone wants to use the most literal translation, I think Ozma is really asking Alto, who do you really fly for? and says something like "What I'm doing is best to protect the woman I love." The rough translations tend to overcomplicate matters and see another meaning that isn't there... I'm usually pretty good at getting the intended meaning/context when translating from literal translation to *real* translation... but take that for what it's worth, friends.

He's asking why Alto chooses to fly. It can be a person or a cause. He's just putting him to the edge, questioning wether he really has a reason. Also its definately plural when Ozma speaks of his own reasons. I assume he means Cathy and Ranka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinkirou Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I vote for that altoXsheryl kiss did really happen XD 1.) preparation: alto's right hand on sheryl's left check 2.) dialogue: sheryl saying the "give me courage so i could keep on singing forever" line 3.) head swivel: as the focus of the video is going up, we see that the angle of their heads align with each other. 4.) meeting: head of alto going down and sheryl's going up * you could pause it before the scene where the bamboo shade/curtain(?) is shown and it would be really funny if they only meet nosetips or forehead to forehead with each other hehe ergo, they kissed XD yay!

RedWolf Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The swirl formation on the ring of the tri-moon Earth-like planet looks like a combination of the Birdman spiral formation in Zero and the Protoculture symbol in DYRL.

I was wondering if she's taking on Michael's role and watching over his two teammembers who have chosen to stay with NUNS... or just staying neutroal I think Klan understands what Macross Quarter is trying to do unlike Alto and Luca. However, her hatred for the Vajra d/t Michael's death is probably the reason why she's going to aid Frontier in its crusade towards the Vajra. You probably don't want her to meet the Vajra Queen, or the little queen for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWolf Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Where during DYRL does the swirl formation show up ? When Hikaru activates the city computer a symbol is shown. The swirl is a combination of both the Protoculture spiral and the symbol shown in DYRL. This leads me to speculate that this is the Protoculture homeworld. Where it all began.
