She didn't bond as much with the people of Frontier because of the circumstances as she did in the TV series, but once the chips were down, she chose to save Ranka's life over her own in that heroic sacrifice. Essentially, she was unchanged, the plot simply took her into another direction, yet she remained driven, courageous, with a crippling loneliness and a tsundere personality.
There was never a possibility for her to be cure in the TV series to know how she'll react, you know? And she felt so guilty about her thoughts that seemed pretty happy when they arrested her.

Just saw this, sorry.
You are wrong, though. The very fact that she seriously entertained the heineous thought of harvesting Rankas organs for her survival makes her, to me, a different, lesser version of herself. Yeah, she was still pretty awesome, but come on. Contemplating murder is really not an admirable trait.
And you cannot claim that Sheryl from the series would have done the same. Sure, she wasn't in the situation where such a solution would have presented itself to her, but that doesn't mean that you get to say that she would have had the same reaction as movie Sheryl. If we acknowledge that movie Ranka was a different and better character than series Ranka, then we have to acknowledge that series Sheryl was a different person than movie Sheryl, too.

But really, if the triangle is between a woman and two guys in anime/manga, the girl usually ends up picking the initial 'bad boy' aka Brera as endgame. Hell, if you change his brother relationship as LMK wants, he's basically a forgotten childhood friend, then! And the reason why Ranka is drawn to Alto in the first place (i.e. the flashback she thought about how warm Alto's hand is and has a flashback to mystery blond boy). |
"Usually" is a loaded word with the Macross franchise, you surely realize? Minmay would have been the "traditional" choice for Hikaru, too.
