Let see if I have enough pizza to stay with this episode....

Ozma in VF-171 in Ranka flashback

So it's definite that Sheryl's Mao Nome's daughter?

LOL, Alto's wearing Sheryl's earring...I guess it suits him though.

Whoa.... :o

Grace burning aboard the 117th fleet... was she already a cyborg at this point, or was she just mad enough not to feel pain and this being what forced her to undergo cyborgization?

Grace manipulating Ranka, using the mind-controlled Brera.

Huge etheral Ranka singing ai oboeteimasu ka.

Mind controlled Brera calling Frontier forces invaders and shooting down Alto.

My prediction is right

- Song battles (reminds me of macross II)

- Dulfim carried Galaxy forces to land on the Vajra main hive.

- Alto is shotdown by Brera.

- SDF:M ending (album book) is used for the epi.25 preview, SK is teasing us damn it

More Macross II love from Kawamori.

Sheryl is NOT Mao's daughter, haven't we gone over the age thing 50 million already? Sheryl is her grand daughter, and who her mother was doesn't seem to be important. And no, Alto isn't dead. DUH

The "Next Episode Preview" is a riot if you're an old-school SDF-M fan... Intentional or not.

Not to mention a product plug!

Geez, are all the people here this unfriendly? Sorry for being a noob, but if you feel this irritated by my question, you don't have to answer you know. I'd probably find out some other way.

I hope Alto stays dead, that was what made the episode good for me. Hope they don't pull a Code Geass R2 and bring everyone back to life.

They wouldn't dare make the "twist" ending what they did. That's just unspeakable!

That was also the longest wait for next week's preview. And when that flashed across the screen, I ROFLMAO.

Deculture strikes again!

PSt: the text that flashed across the screen was talking about the real life concert tour. No mention about next week's episode being longer than usual, or in a different time slot. Just the ultimate of ultimate refrences to the first series.

EPIC EPISODE.....and SMS hasn't even joined the fray yet!

-Spotted Kakizaki!! LOL!! Might be others there but didn't notice.

-Didn't catch what Sheryl said to Alto but she said something like "lets let it end here" before Alto tries to grab her but Sheryl steals a kiss! I was like....uh oh....death flag

- Alto's dad is still an enigma....wth is he doing on the bridge of Battle 25....was he on the bridge?

- Wow VF-171EX action....Graham is sure to change ALL his pants :lol:

Do you seriously believe he is? I think most of us don't, that's why the question is treated like a non-issue.

Hint:

If the earing was for anything, it was deus ex machina way to make him survive somehow.

1.) He got folded somewhere else (Quarter?)

2.) His body died but his conciousness got transfered to Grace and Ranka and that's where the real battle is fought.

Damn first episode since we opened the "live toppic" that i missed watching live ... can anyone spoile me a little:

Anything SherylxAlto? Please tell me everything!

Posted

Not much of a Sheryl fan (or a Ranka fan for that matter), but my heart did break for her a little after watching Alto's fighter go up in flames. Figured it was gonna be either Luca (stealing that good-bye unrequited love kiss) or Klan (finally joining her one-true love in Valhalla) to bite it. Did not expect Alto to get shot down in the second-last episode! Well-done Kawomori-san.

Posted

Global actually survived a MDE??? WOW

They really built those things, didn't they?

I had trouble making it out during the live stream, can't wait for an HD raw.

LOL, Alto's wearing Sheryl's earring...I guess it suits him though.

I was thinking that would be kinda painful, but then I realized he must have had his ears pierced a long time ago.

- SDF:M ending (album book) is used for the epi.25 preview, SK is teasing us damn it

He's certainly keeping the ending close to his chest. But that's only natural at this point; not much point in making a final episode if you give it all away in the preview.

:)

Wouldn't it be awful if episode 25 pulled a Gunbuster, though, and was just Kawamori flipping through album pages while narrating the ending? :lol:

Sheryl is NOT Mao's daughter, haven't we gone over the age thing 50 million already? Sheryl is her grand daughter, and who her mother was doesn't seem to be important. And no, Alto isn't dead. DUH

I couldn't really make it out in the live stream, but even being Mao's granddaughter would be a pretty big upgrade from "just another orphan" status.

As for Alto being dead... yeah, it seems pretty unlikely that he's really dead. Naturally, we didn't see a body being lovingly disintegrated. Although it'd be really ballsy if he was. And even if all the viewers are assuming he's not really dead, it was still a big dramatic moment. After all, the people in-universe have to deal with the fact that he probably just bit it; I have no idea how Sheryl's going to react after the initial shock. Angry? Suicidal? Hopeless?

I could see a way where Alto might really be dead, tying into Sheryl's earrings (which are apparently prone to being blown up in combat when accompanying Alto). He might end up as a fold spirit, carried off by the earring. That would be less cheap than the more common fake death, but I don't know if I really think it's going to happen. No body or close-ups seems to point pretty strongly to him having survived.

Definitely want to pour over this episode with a magnifying glass once the HD raws are out.

Geez, are all the people here this unfriendly? Sorry for being a noob, but if you feel this irritated by my question, you don't have to answer you know. I'd probably find out some other way.

Nah, Togo's always like that. Just gotta develop a thick skin around him. :)

Anyway, my favorite part of this episode:

When the NUNS forces get caught in a Vajra beam barrage and shot down en masse. For some reason, I just love it, drama-wise, when a battle goes poorly for the "good guys." Plus Leon must be crapping his pants.

SMS is untouched right now. It looks like they're going to play a huge role in the finale, but that's not really a surprise, is it?

Brera didn't manage to kill Klan again, think she'll live through episode 25?

Question about the singing of "Ai Oboete Imasu ka": Do you think it's a song the Vajra know, or one that Ranka picked, or maybe Grace? If they already know it, might be the clearest hint we get about the ultimate fate of Megaroad-01...

Interesting how the Galaxy ship can just pass through the Vajra without hostility. I wonder how Grace manages to stir them up against Frontier, and yet leave her own side untouched. That's some real deft control there.

(What if Alto IS dead and his mind has joined the fold network, and he is the ghostly appearance on battle frontiers bridge next episode O.o)

Sheryl will probably commit suicide to be with him, then.
