On a quasi-related note, I am guessing that the light novel author took his pen name from Ranma: Kodachi Ukyou... I was feeling generous. I had been sitting on that one for around seven months... But according to your methods, it's still not absolutely confirmed on screen, now, is it?

Aw, c'mon, I said that I extrapolate the most logical and likely outcome based on what we see on screen. ^^ It's pretty clear that Sheryl and Alto had at least that one night ( and many others I presume... although that's just wishful thinking and a bit of "what would two teenagers in love do with their free time" ).

As I rewatch the series with my girl friend I'm seeing more and more where they cut corners, where they gave themselves loose ends with no time to tie them up. That whole "25 episodes" thing just wasn't a good idea, methinks. |

WAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Though on a second thought... its not exactly a very common last name. Couple people showed up... a theater actor known for playing female roles (*Gasp*) and of course, Ranma... - Tak

But would it surprise you if I said that no one has to convince me that they slept together that night? Though what I feel this means about their relationship is very different from most people, or so it seems. Quote:

It isn't - the Japanese wiki lists only around 20 people (the rest being characters/stories etc), of which most are stage names. Though Saotome Taiichi was already gaining in popularity by the time Kawamori et al conceived of Frontier (2005) and made Alto a kabuki onnagata. But I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't any such connection either - the meaning of the name (早乙女=young female rice planter/young girl) is, in some ways, very fitting for a kabuki troupe.

Laying it on quite thickly there, ain't ya? Just be careful Magnus doesn't jump you at some dark corner...
And I'd like to know why Sheryl and Alto sleeping together would make him a jerk... Personally, I just don't see it.

And no, I don't quite agree with the 'pity' argument that PASH! writers decided to go with for the Frontier Animation File. But I know just about everyone who still cares about it will disagree with my reasoning anyway, so may I just concede here? Quote:

No, no, you misunderstood. I was trying to emphase that I think my opinion is my own, but I may be totally wrong, although I think I have a very good case. It wasn't meant as any sort of put-down or somesuch.

@karice67: the whole thing about Alto being based on Taichi Saotome may not be too far-fetched.
Taichi has immense popularity for a kabuki (onnagata) actor, and it may be attributed to his good looks. The guy made it onto Oricon 2010's Most Beautiful Celebrity (positioned at no 6) beating some of the more mainstream actors/singers in Japan. He's pretty much part of Japan's pop-culture and it makes sense that Kawamura would base Alto on an existing public persona. Well this is just my speculation after all and I don't think Kawamura has said anything about Alto being based on the Saotome family, so don't take it too seriously. |

Alto is definitely a much more complicated character than I initially thought. A far cry from being shallow and uninteresting, his relationship with Sheryl seems to have an infinite number of nuances, most of which I never considered until now. One thing is abundantly clear: I need to re-watch the series, especially after just watching both movies, before posting a serious character analysis.
