Good night sweet prince ;_; The post Sherylfags have been waiting for, it’s time for some Ranka bashing! Prior to this episode I hadn’t put much effort into picking apart Ranka, not nearly as much as I put into picking apart Sheryl, and as such have come across as quite the Ranka supporter (don’t think I don’t [...]

For those familiar with Macross Plus, you're probably aware that the ever-so-talented composer, Kanno Youko, has always been one of the reasons why its music has been so memorable. For Macross fans such as myself, I was extremely happy when I heard that she would be doing the music for Macross Frontier as well. Reading this, you might be wondering what any of this has to do with Sakamoto Maaya, who performs the first opening song to the series. Well, this actually dates back to Maaya's debut as a seiyuu back in 1996, when she starred as Kanzaki Hitomi in Tenkuu no Escalfowne, better known in English as The Vision of Escaflowne, which lead to her working together with Youko on "Yakusoku wa Iranai" 「約束はいらない」 (No Need for Promises), the opening theme for the series. After working together with Youko to release numerous singles and albums featuring songs for series such as Record of Lodoss War (TV series), Cardcaptor Sakura, RahXephon, and Wolf's Rain, the two parted ways on Maaya's fifth single release, Loop, the first ending theme to Tsubasa Chronicle. It's been three years since then, and the two have reunited to work on Macross Frontier with this song---Triangular.

I read Yen Plus volume 2 and generally enjoyed it. I was slightly disappointed that Alex is the main character and Sara is just a supporting character in Nightschool but I still hold out hopes for my dreams. Pig Bride is still my favorite work in the anthology especially now that I am 90% sure [...]

Short Synopsis: Most of the episode sees Ranka, as she tries to sort out her own feelings. Highlights: Well, at least the love-triangle progressed a lot. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 Well, this had to happen, I guess. Ranka’s still my least favourite character in this series, so an episode that focuses nearly entirely on her obviously isn’t as [...]

Hohoho, if I’m reading this right, the lyrics are by Maaya Sakamoto: By the way… the full version of this has leaked, but in a quality much worse than what we hear in the episode, so it’s practically useless Diamond Crevasse 50/50 is also floating around, but it’s not much more than what we’ve already [...]
