Sheryl a shit

>>279673126 (OP)
All FFM love triangles should end up in a threesome!

>>279673126 (OP)
Lol

>>279673126 (OP)
When did male MCs become so generic and ugly looking? This guy actually looks good.

>>279673126 (OP)
As the years have gone on I've come to terms with the fact that Frontier is the best Macross.

Frontier TV was a bad matchup though
>Ranka is the younger sister of Alto's commanding officer and treated her as a little sister
>Alto fucked Sheryl while she was wearing his mother's kimono
Yeah, that was game, set and match for Sheryl.

>>279673126 (OP)
In both cases, the love triangle and music. WA2 takes the cake

>>279674376
little sister > mother

Frontier's love triangle is any good only because of Sheryl. Alto and Ranka are horrible people
That aside bromance >>> love triangles

>>279673126 (OP)
Sheryl, my beloved.

>>279673126 (OP)

The original Macross, newfag.

>>279676276
There's nothing good about Minmei, newfag

>>279676766
Nothing good about Ranka either.

Sheryl won both in the series and the movie.

Is everything after the OG Macross as shit as it looks?

>>279678513
No. Thinking that to begin with is a huge red flag.

>>279678527
Because?

Haganai manga did it better
The journey and growth each of the characters went through can't compare

>>279673126 (OP)
canonically Sheryl is a fake and AIDS-riddled whore

>>279673126 (OP)
The one in the other Macross.

>>279673126 (OP)
Ranka a shit and lost

if you know, you know

>>279674391
>>279673835
This is the correct answer, especially since there was nothing else taking away from the focus of the triangle the entire time.

>>279676766
It was at least an actual love triangle. Go back and watch Frontier. Ranka was NEVER an option.

I rewatched Frontier a couple months ago for the first time since I first watched it in 2009. All I remembered was that I liked Ranka more than Sheryl. In my rewatch, Ranka never stood a chance. It's hardly a love triangle. Alto is so dismissive of Ranka. He treats her as just an acquaintance. He only cares about her at a surface level. Sheryl gets way more intimate moments with Alto. Sheryl also has lots more in common with Alto than Ranka. The two have actual chemistry and get along with similar experiences. Ranka has none of that. She's just a girl Alto knows.

>>279674216
Easily the best since the original, yeah. Plus took a while to be dethroned for second place. I know people like 7 but those people are clearly psychopaths.

>>279673835
>>279674391
Not a good love triangle if one girl is so much better suited than the other.

>>279678513
No. Plus is really good and becoming oddly prophetic. 7 is... it sure is. Zero was weird and mostly a setup for things you see in Frontier. Frontier was legit good. Delta I have not seen yet but WHOA UU WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOAAAA....

I never stuck with this to the end but I heard the girls basically got sick of the MC's wish washy "I just wanna be friends" BS and the maid girl who wasn't actually a boy won by default at the end. Is that true?

>>279681522
This is 100% true, even as someone who likes Ranka, and it's exactly the reason why Alto just straight up rejects Ranka and chooses Sheryl in the movie before fucking off with the Vajra Queen.

I've have listened to music from Macross Frontier since 2008 but I've never once had an interest in seeing what it's actually about.

>>279681679
I still like Ranka, but I feel bad for how little she actually does. Everyone around her is controlling her life. She has no agency and is just being used by everyone. Even her decision to run away was ultimately planned by Grace. The movie does fix this by letting Ranka actually make her own decisions and drive the plot.

>>279681625
Zero is a shitty tech demo for CGI and one big fat character assassination of my nigga Roy.

>>279681522
Fucking bullshit.
Alto enlisted only to protect Ranka because he fell for her at first sight.
sheryl has no connection to alto and she's in fact a traitor.

in summary: Ranka >>> pinkshit

I'm a big Rankafag and I'm perfectly fine with Ranka losing. I don't think it's canon that she did though because the moves were bad and only the tv series counts.

>>279673126 (OP)
WA2
Sheryl is the best btw

>>279681667
Yes, but then they broke up because of muh reunion promise and then he went to college with Sena.
But that last bit was made because of all the backlash the author received, so take it as you will.

>>279683594
How do you Rankafags feel about Brera dicking her down in the manga?

>>279683594
>the moves were bad
Movies were great though
That one sniper survived and ended up with his Zentradi loli wife there.
TV series was a snoozefest

Delta anime is much worse than Frontier, but it compensates with really fun music. The anime is just advertisement for the music and it shows

>>279684920
>compensates with really fun music
imo the music in delta is an objective downgrade over frontier. then again its hard to beat yoko kanno paired with amazing vocalists like may'n. that's not to say JUNNA + others arent good tho
