Macross Frontier 12: The Voice That Launched A Thousand Spaceships
Posted by Shin in Macross Frontier, tags: big robots, Just As Planned, Lulz, rabu, so moe i died
The verdict is in, Ranka has already won Saimoe 2008.
With all three central characters out of the picture, ronery Nanase is moping over Ranka’s absence, until everyone’s greenhead decided to drop by at school to say hi. Those aren’t hands in her pockets.
As if Alto wasn’t enough, Nanase must now face another competitor to win Ranka over, and you just know she’d do just about anything to secure victory as seen in the following confrontation:
Fortunately for Nanase, Ranka intervenes and informs the latter that the green creature has been keeping her company;
In more ways than one.
Elsewhere, Sheryl’s entourage arrive at Gallia 4 for the performance and is greeted by the Green Giant.
Sadly for our superstar, she collapses midway due to an unforeseen fever:
I couldn’t help it:
Having probably paid for their tickets and unable to obtain a refund, the hostile Zentradi forces declare war.
I’m guessing that means something along the lines of EN TARO ZENTRAN. Of course, while I’d like to put the blame on a certain someone, this was a premeditated uprising, to which Sheryl’s sudden stroke ailment had nothing to do with.
Not one to wait for reinforcements, Alto decide to sneak his way out and take on the enemy as though he was some one man army.
A Hind D?
Colonel, what’s a Russian gunship doing here?
Alas, Alto’s career as a field agent is but a short lived one. Sorry Princess, you may have the actor’s blood, but it ain’t no blood of Big Boss.
With that botched attempt at escaping, the situation escalates into a full fledged battle between the opposing Zentradian forces. Succeeding where the Princess has failed, Ranka swoops in style with a customized VF that has THX certified speakers, to belt out a tune from her character album to appease the angry aliens.
So Moe The War Stopped? Now I know why music has always been an integral part of Macross.
Peace returns to Gallia 4, and with her Princess in Shining Mecha Armor, Ranka sets off into the sunset re-enacting the classic tale of Superdimensional Cinderella.
I almost felt bad for Sheryl having to stay grounded and her limelight taken away from her by a rookie. This would probably the the impetus that would spark a much awaited all out love triangle.
To add insult to injury, the pair engage in some hot pilot-wing(wo)man action.
Because he should have watched where the VF was going instead, Alto crash lands in an undisclosed sector of the planet, chancing upon an ancient relic.
I liked it better when it was called Fortress Maximus.
Having Ranka sing all the songs save for the Watashi no Kare wa Pilot was a feeling akin to auditory masturbation, especially that mesmerizing jig that had me giggling like a horny schoolboy. It did make up for the shafting Ranka received in the previous episode, though at this point, I no longer care if she ends up with Alto, so long as my green haired bundle of joy and moe is happy :P . Either way, she’s set to have Alto all to herself in the following week and whatever happens from then onwards is anybody’s guess, with Sheryl evidently upset she could not be there to fulfill Alto’s dream. I’m going to gloat over this while I still can.
Much like Helen of Troy, Ranka of Frontier possesses the cuteness and voice that transcends galaxies that will eventually spark an all out interplanetary war between civilizations, seeing as how it’s powerful enough to either quell blood-lusts or awaken ancient evils. Alto, son of Saotome, destined to be one Ranka’s suitors will find himself leading the campaign to rescue her after being abducted by Brera. Believe it.
Man, Alto should have snuck out under a cardboard box!
I find it strange that furry little vajrababies grow up to become giant laser insects, but the future is a frightening place.

I believe Allison and Lillia taught us that a sheet is a perfectly reasonable escape method. Too bad he used them all to make a rope.

No no, Alto-hime needed a rusty fuel drum and a Rex II interface for Luca.
Let’s hope both Sheryl and Ranka remain humble and away from Minmay-class behavior. I hope this is the first Macross TV series where the idol is not insufferable.
Auditory masturbation indeed I still have it as the mainstay of my playlist for exercising.

The screen shots of the judges are from Ah! My Goddess. So do I get a prize for that?
Although I like Ranka, I am a firm believer that Alto will end up with Sheryl. It has to be that way…

I don’t know what you’re gloating about, but don’t you know that the needy girl at the end always get the guy? Right now, Sheryl is that needy girl of the week. You should be shaking now. HAHA.

Enjoy your temporary victory Shin… wait and see who will be laughing at the end when the right woman is picked…
Here’s a toast to Alto Saotome making the same correct choice that Shinichiro set a precedent to…
Ranka’s voice is like sex on my ears. Awesome post as usual.
SIEG RANKA!!!!

@Kabitzin
He should have dialed 140.96 first!
@otou
He thought he could bewitch the aliens with his pretty boy looks when the time came.
@Crusader
Funny you should say that, Alto’s parked VF reminded me more of Metal Gear Ray more than anything else but I totally forgot how that scene went.
@blissmo
@C.I
Ranka will take her cuteness and pierce the heavens!
@wolfx
Man, I thought M7 was supposed to suck? That looks incredible; what I would give for giant alien chicks to crave my penis.
@53RG10
I reorganize the avatar pool a little, so whatever before has been jumbled. If you’d like you could always select your own by registering your own avatar at the bottom of the comment form.
@Fariz
If Kabitzin is right, then we’re going to see something like that eventually.
@James
True story; I was jumping up and down screaming.
@Sojourner, bakaneko, EX-Keine
Dear Sheryl supporters…..UP YOURS!
In all honesty, I’m celebrating Ranka’s personal victory rather than her small advancement with the Princess.
@Setsuna
Oh lawd, and I was saving those Alto avvies for the girls. Oh well.
THIS MEANS WAR but wait. I am on the Ranka side but strangely enough I prefer a Sheryl ending.

Not sure if want.
Either way, I call a truce for now. Oh btw, thanks for saucing that judges image; I had no idea where it was from when I sh00ped it. 
instead of wasting money in WMD, we should harness the power of MOE and use it against our enemies!!!
But do we have someone who has that kind of MOE POWAAAA walking in our midst?
I’m the only one disgusted by Sheryl? Since she been introduced to the show, she been sort of a slutty, too flirty person, I understand her appeal to men but since I’m a girl I rather root for the person that seems to have an actual personality and dream. Ranka seems more like the down to Earth girl that can care for Alto, and in turn Alto can protect her and love her. Sheryl on the other hand hasn’t changed at all, she still a manipulative Bit**! Excuse my language, but she seems morel like she is using Alto because he’s fairly innocent and beautiful. Alto already lost someone he loved, he doesn’t need some dying slut to make his life worse. In the long run, Sheryl is the the one always coming on to Alto while I never see Alto flirting with her. She’s far too pushy, Ranka on the other hand is really shy and I feel that if Ranka confessed her feelings to Alto, he would go with her. Have courage Ranka and take your man from the slut! :3
