and that, my friend, is where our difference lays XD
Obviously I think it involves with romantic element while you think that is not the case (or maybe you say they have mutual romantic feeling but not as much as Sheryl and Alto...that's your opinion and I fully respect your say)
Oh well, I guess the most important thing is we both enjoy the show...I know I do coz I have many of my favorite scenes in episode 25..and I am fine with the ending...and since I am fine with the ending, I guess I can say I feel satisfied with the whole series...
now if I somehow receive the animated avatar from the scene Ranka got saved by Alto in his jet suit in ep 25, it would be even better than perfect XD
