Accepting the challenge means seeing Ranka as a worthy rival, not a worthy threesome candidate.
Edit: Or does it? I remember something similar happening in a doujin, where Sheryl accepts Ranka's "challenge"

Yes she did. To quote it(from the gg subs):Originally Posted by Besu
Ranka: Um...Sheryl. I wont loose. In song, or in love!
Sheryl: I accept your challenge!
Buffalo is on point with this one though, basically you have the trappings of a romantic comedy in the making imo.
Two different points of view. Sheryl and Ranka want to win out over the other one, but Alto doesn't really seem to care, and seems to prefer to have both of them at once.
Hence, "If Sheryl and Ranka can learn to share Alto..."
I quoted Alto to begin with.
Besides the upcoming movie that will be a theatrical adaptation of the TV series, a second movie has been announced that will have a new story and fresh music

I'm looking forward to it.

I think that this merits some discussion, but not in the thread it was in.
I don't think it was ever clear that the V-type infection of Vajra parasites was actually contagious. If you're born with them in your blood, as Ranka was since her mother was infected, they settle in your abdomen. If you get infected due to some exposure, then flow throughout the blood and slowly kill you as they collect in the brain.
But they don't really leave the host body.
Nor was it clear how Sheryl was infected in the first place. She was simply found by Grace in a back alley living in squalor aboard the Galaxy Fleet, already infected. She was adopted by Dr. Nome and some of the damage done was slowed/reversed.
She never infected anyone else though (nor did Ranka), leading me to believe it is more like respiratory diseases, created by the conditions one is in rather than a specific vector. They seemed to be only passed by mother to child.

According to AniDB it's nothing but a cut and paste work of the original series. I'll pass.
This is definitely not true.
While it had most of the original elements intact, it changed a lot of things. All new scenes lead to better character development despite the short screen time, and overall it felt like a more compact and efficient version of the series. You don't need to have watched the series to appreciate and enjoy this movie, much different from A Certain Time (Un)limited Movie.
The action is eye candy, the fanservice is plain awesome, and the changes are very welcome. Watch this.
EDIT: I hated Ranka in the original, but I'm fine with her on this one. Sheryl was, well, delicious. Gochisou sama deshita.
Peace.

thats not true, I havn't watched the movie but I watched an AMV lately which featured a lot of new scenes too
http://vimeo.com/29552962
and I'm pretty certain that it tells a "different" story... or from different perspectives, or something like that
well to sum it up, new scenes.
These movies are an excellent supplement to the Frontier tv series. A must watch for any Macross Frontier fan...or any Macross fan. If you think you don't need to watch them because you watched the series...reconsider. They're very different.
This was a really dense movie. A lot goes on, and then I realized it had only been 25 minutes!
----------------------
Just like I always liked Ranka's squishy frog phone, I equally love that Sheryl's is a taiyaki. It just seems so out of place when compared to the way she prefers to act in front of the public or at performances. Of course, it perfectly fits with the way she acts in front of Alto, which is how she really is.
The shot of Sheryl's room with her staring longingly at a picture of Alto in Kabuki onnagata getup. :3 Then Alto's Kabuki flashback...with a young Sheryl happily watching, entranced (So cute~). It also served as a good explanation for why Sheryl got into singing, aside from the previously nebulous reason of being adopted into the Nome family.
One of the best parts was that Alto got to play a much more active role in the final battle, rather than just rescuing a songstress and making the final shot. He was a vital part of the battle's success.
Also very interesting that Grace and others offer to cure Sheryl by having her undergo cybernization. I liked the reference to Sheryl and Alto's conversation in the tv series that her being fully human as a point of pride (and marketing) despite the trend toward cybernetic enhancement aboard Galaxy.
I'm a little bit disappointed they still went with making Grace and her cohorts evil. I was starting to like the twist in the previous movie where the leaders of Frontier were using the vajra as a political weapon against Galaxy, and Grace seemed like one of the good people. Someone who (on some level) legitimately cared for Sheryl's wellbeing and the wellbeing of those aboard Galaxy. In the tv series, Grace had become an evil caricature by the end. Then again, I really liked the way they made Grace come off as much more manipulative here. She showed concern for Sheryl while slowly, slowly achieving her own ends. They didn't have much build up before in the series, Grace just suddenly announced her evilness. The movie version is done so much better. Even more interesting is how the takeover of Frontier went for her. We got to finally see what Grace's compatriots now look like. It makes a lot of sense really. They'd do anything to see their idea through.
Even when she's beaten down, Grace is still Grace though. Her ambition is what makes her great. I was glad for the final turnaround though, even if it was a little cheesy.
Ranka's concert definitely got some influence from Sheryl's style, but the little fairies breaking off everywhere reminded me a lot of Sharon Apple's style. A nice touch, the same way Sheryl's concert in the tv series pulled influence from there.
The movie further emphasized the comparison of the VF-27 Lucifer as the successor to the YF-21 (with its brain-link control system) and the VF-25 Messiah as the successor to the YF-19. Loved the VB-6 König Monster having Sheryl and Ranka painted on. The YF-29 is kinda bullshit though. Macross 7 kind of bullshit.
Cute visual reference to the tv series Opening song and romantic theme of the series on the rooftop of the hospital. Triangular indeed. Too bad Leon had to ruin it by actually pointing it out.
Overall, this movie is extremely brutal politically. I love it.
The Valkyrie sleeps while she guides her warrior back across the rainbow bridge...
I'll always like Ranka...I just like Sheryl way more.
Random tidbits:
- Goth loli Alto...
- The Alcatraz concert is without a doubt a Fire Bomber reference (Macross 7). Still looks ridiculous.
- There wasn't enough Klan, but Klan and Mikhail both survived this time!
- Ozma Lee,totalUltimate badass.
- The Quarter surfing...not badass.
- I'm still not sure why Vajra explode.
I will watch this.
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
SHERYL WINS, NUFF SAID.
Peace.
I got goosebumps every time they started singing.
This movie was outstanding.
Edited for my stupid fucking grammar.

It was super dimensional badass

I'm just glad it had a happy ending. I was terrified at the thought of tragedy while watching the credits roll.
Peace.
When I was writing that post up, I originally had in the quote from the tv series about, "I'll show you why as ship this size carries the name 'Macross'!" (paraphrasing). Then they started surfing on the debris rather than just plunging into the atmosphere like a champ (maybe with its arms crossed too...).
'Twas no Daedalus Attack moment, that's for sure.
I thought it was pretty cool, but not something I would proudly recommend to non-fans.
Peace.
I would have liked it better if they used a little surfing to dodge a few beams, but the entire time it looked like they could even gain altitude with that piece of rock - that I disliked.
Ozma coughed up blood after taking a shitload of bullets from Brera head-on, but looking fine when he rescues Sheryl was perhaps the most jarring inconsistency for me in this movie..but
We finally got an answer from Alto: Sheryl one. Cool movie.
(yah.. finally getting my backlog moving again!)
