Yeah...again, it's kind of a shame, I think. The art in the Sheryl comic is REALLY DAMN GOOD, I think...if only the story were better...
It's definitely got me interested to check out the artist's other works, though. Same with Kikuya Megane, whose Nyan Dra comics are also quite lovely. |

IIRC, Yot-chan said a couple of times that the TV series ending was Yoshino's idea and not Kawamori's idea. While there was no outspoken resolution (due to Alto's fail self-awareness), wasn't Yoshino the one who said episode 24 scene was about Alto's feelings for Sheryl?
If we take the TV series as his vision... the balance tips at one side. I have to wonder what kind of ending did Kawamori want: Spoiler for movie spoilers:

I think the manga it is different ..., the manga is some sweet romance ending for people who want that kind of happy ending...
If we don't like the movie ending... We should forget it and consider the manga as the true ending... Kawamori want everyone to be happy with their own choice of ending In movie, novel, and manga (tv is not count) Execept he will make an OVA... Maybe all ending will be same after all |

Wouldn't make a difference for the continuity either, as at the end of the TV-series the main characters have completed their roles in the events of Frontier. Who ends up with who is trivial assuming future Macross shows will star a new cast anyway. |

Frontiers last episodes set up a brilliant inversion of the DYRL finale. I find it quite grating that shippers often ignore that, so they can complain about Kawamori not letting their girl win Alto's heart. As if it's a random harem comedy. Ah well, rant mode off... Anyway Macross has always been about three things: Valkyries, romance, and conflict resolution through music/songs. All three are needed to make it a true Macross show. |

Resolution IS part of any good storytelling. Would it be good storytelling if the plot was about the war and the series depicted what started it, how it executed it and then we see the ending credits before we know the outcome? No. Of course not. That's shoddy storytelling. It's obvious of why Kawamori wasn't pleased with Yoshino for leaving the triangle like that, when for him, Macross is a love story first. The problem in the TV series was that there was NOT a resolution, not even OT3 as the phrase Alto said (you are both my wings) were not meant in a romantic sense. It's like it ended with Frontier and the Vajyra staring at each others, still no certainty if there's ceasefire or they are at war. Had the focus be the battles (but it's not), would you think that's a proper ending?
