Macross Frontier – 14: Oh no, not another Bee Movie

Posted by blissmo 12 July 2008 11 Comments

Snapshots from Omni since I didn’t want subtitles in my images (damn .avi files).

Superb. This episode was really awesome, although at the beginning I couldn’t stop wondering when Alto-hime would finally rescue Ranka. I like the new side of Luca — ’twas very manly indeed. I still can’t tell what exactly Leon and Grace are planning, but I’m theorizing that they want to know how to control the Vajra (in order to take over the entire universe and destroy all mankind). Brera’s allegiance obviously does not lie within the Macross dudes, I don’t think, since Leon smirked at the declaration. I suppose Ranka was crying at the end in the bubble because her “children” were destroyed (or she really needed to pee ‘cos I know I would). Sheryl’s reaction to Alto-hime’s constant concern for Ranka was just priceless, but I couldn’t tell if it was from jealousy, surprise, or simply both.

Now we know where Ranka gets her green-hair from, and Brera’s presumably got his from the father. I’m guessing that the purpose of the lullaby is to call upon the Vajra, and, perhaps when those other non-Vajra aliens came to attack Ranka right after her song, it’s all just a coincidence and they just sensed enemy invasion, and their approach has absolutely nothing to do with the lullaby. It was also nice to see that Ranka is gradually maturing, which means that in no time she will be able to have Alto-hime all to herself, so long as she knows how to play her cards right. I loved seeing Alto-hime’s determination to wipe out all those monsters and save Ranka, but unfortunately Brera beat him to it. Already I can see that in the future Brera and Alto-hime will compete against each other for Ranka’s love, or so my love-triangle obsessed brain says so. Next week it looks like one of those relationship-building, filllerifc chaos with a tad of minor/major information about Grace and Leon’s plan. I’m definitely looking forward to it after seeing the preview of more Alto-hime blushing.

Inspired by bakaneko’s post. Ranka’s kids are embracing Alto-hime, their panda father, while Sheryl is tied up.

Eh, I’m a fan of Alto x Sheryl, since Ranka seems like a very boring girl (no sense of spontaneity whatsoever). Space opera lulz – reminds me of Vandread, except light-years ahead plot-wise. Also, I think Macross F would be much better without cutting back to the slice of life scenes immediately after some decent action.

RIP Michel’s VF. The memory of (a very brief) rainbow colored song energy lives on.

It almost looks like the pig snout is actually a ball gag! That comic is super cute though =D.

The kids should be screaming the Nyan Nyan song into Alto’s ears. That would be great ya?

Where is the epic suicide that was promised?

The comic was a very pleasant surprise. Can’t wait to see more in the future.

I lol’d at how Sheryl looked when Alto said he would DEFINITELY come back…with Ranka. It looked like disappointment; you’d think that that would be the thing she would be the LEAST worried about at the moment.

Oh poor Alto-hime, Brera got the jump on hime once again. If this continues Brera is going to take away Ranka. So Ranka is into S&M should have seen that one coming…
