“Are you friend or foe?”

“I am the Guide of the Wind. Now that you’ve awaken, return from whence you came.”

“Ridiculous! There should have been someone else with me!”

“You were alone, nyaa!”

“Mao!”

“Shin, I know you love my sister, but please look at me. I….actually…”

“I can hear it Sara….”

“You….and the Mayan’s song.”

“Shin, so you were indeed after all….”

“A bird human.”

Instead of cheesy noir comic, this week it’s cheesy mute black and white romance movie. In space! I shouldn’t have watched this, but I caved in anyway. Disregarding the QUALITY which reared its ugly head once again, especially during that over the top fight scene between Brera and that DigimonHydra, everything else in this episode was brilliant. Even for someone who’s not watched Macross Zero, I was thoroughly impressed by how they drew parallels from both stories and woven it into the plot, which invoked a somewhat poignant feel, reinforced by that beautiful Aimo insert song that almost reduced me to girly tears. Since I was told a little on the love triangle in the actual OVA, watching it unfold here made those movie sequences much more meaningful, even though it wasn’t Sheryl who played Sara’s role wwwww

As such, being one of the many the Ranka fans, I was delighted with the amount of progress she had gone through. Even if it was all part of the script, that kiss she had with Princess “Alto” Sakura made my inner fangirl squealing with joy, never mind that itazura na kiss Sheryl gave him earlier, though I cannot unsee the Little Mermaid reference now, thanks to someone. Another point for the Ranka camp, now that she’s being taken notice of, so that means much less interaction time between her and Alto. Well, that was what I would’ve said, if it wasn’t for the fact I was already informedspoiled on future plot developments regarding the two, which involves crash landing on a remote planet together. Even if their relationship remains stagnant, I don’t really mind that much, since there’s that alternative in Brera. Speaking of which, it looks like they’re hinting at the sexy cyborg bishie to be Ranka’s relative or something, with her calling to out to her supposedly deceased brother coupled with Brera’s instinctive desire to protect Ranka, who, conveniently enough, suffers from amnesia. Dun dun dun, is that some possible WINcest I smell?

Also, Ozma made a comment on whether it was fate that led Ranka to play as Mao’s role. What’s up with that? Does this mean she’s got some sort of connection to the latter? Or is he simply noting the similarities between Ranka and the character whom she plays? What’s with Leon’s secret meeting with some dude in a black suit, whom I suspect being a dyke from the way he/she sounds? So many unanswered questions and the wait is made longer as Macross Frontier will be pre-emptied with football next week. I should probably RAGE, but I’m actually watching Euro 2008 myself, so yeah. Für Deutschland. Back to hitting those books…_〆(・∀・＠)

PS I also have something else to tide things over for next week:

Wheee~ ヽ(゜∀゜)メ(゜∀゜)メ(゜∀゜)ノ
