Because they promised a movie after Ep.25 aired. In the commentary and on the site, as I recall. It gave people a future to look forward to. Now that it's stated that Frontier is officially over, people are just forgetting that character exists, as they moved on to other anime now.

But, regardless, when Macross F ended, there WERE talks of a movie being produced. There were rumors that Kawamori admitted were true. He had talked in an interview that Alto, Sheryl, and Ranka would be returning. At the time, he didn't say how, then the commentary in the 25th episode talked of a movie and that came to Nakajima saying "you'll attach him to someone, right?" And in 2009, a year after Macross F had come on Blu-Ray, the first movie came out. And right before the 2nd comes out, the first one makes it to Blu-Ray. People didn't really have time to fall out of love with the characters. Plus, some animes DO continually grab peoples hearts. Shugo Chara is a good example, since it was aired in 2007 and ended in 2009. The entire time, people were obsessed with the two possible couples (though Ikuto and Amu more) and you'd see like 20 videos on YouTube pop up daily. Then, when it was done airing (or right before Party, I should say), videos stopped appearing. Now you can hardly find good art or videos of them together that are new. It depends on how memorable the characters are or if they made a lasting impression. It also depends on whether the people truly liked them at all. Sometimes, they just decide to like a character because of how they act on the show and mirror it to their lives. Most often, once the show is over and they find another show, they'll find it nostalgic to look back at the past show they'd seen before and they'll say "why did I like him/her again?" And also, I think that 90% of those in Japan are obsessed with current airing anime. As I understand, the movie is out of theaters now. It's probable that they just want to move on, just like Kawamori. See what happens when the DVD/Blu-Ray comes out. Maybe she'll make the ranks again. If not, then maybe the majority of the Macross F fans have absorbed the shock of the ending and don't want to really view it. I hope you realize that a majority of Sheryl fans are mostly bent on seeing Sheryl get a happy ending, and this doesn't count as that kind of an ending. They might not want to really think about SnT's ending.

That's what I said in the previous post before the one you quoted. They basically SAID there would be a movie right after Macross F TV finished airing. Even before the series went to Blu-Ray, they had started work on the movie. And then, in 2009, the first movie came out.

Oh. I watched the series after it aired. But I guess you would know. But still, characters eventually are forgotten. Like Minmei, she was very loved, but you don't see her mentioned much anymore. And like I said, people were obsessed with Shugo Chara, and it's only been around four years since the series ended, and no one seems to care about the series or characters anymore. Remember that a LOT of people have to vote to bring Sheryl back up... and if a majority of people vote for someone else, then you have to know Sheryl will fall out.

As for Sheryl, once the movie comes out in BD form, she will be right back up. - Tak

To you, perhaps, but I guess you're not very aware of how anime works if you can dare to say that. There are lots of other characters that deserved the top ten more than her altogether. So, like I said, you might think it, but it's the majority that counts in polls.

Remember you are talking to people who have most likely been watching anime far longer than you, don't assume that they don't know how the anime industry works. The fact that Sheryl was not a Moe blob and was able to stay on the top ten for so long is nothing short of amazing. |

And of course I know what you are thinking. Your idea of other characters that deserve the top ten, oh wait, not characters, just character, singular. We all know who that is. As for what constitutes the majority? Trust us, you aren't part of it. - Tak

Why is Charles out of the poll when an Infinite Stratos OVA is coming this November? Why is Ika Musume not in the polls when her second season is about to start? Why did Ranka drop out after the tv series ended and only shows up again during the movies? Yet Sheryl has only missed two months since Macross Frontier aired. |

The majority kept her almost constantly in the top ten in the last three years ( while your pwecious Ranka dropped out constantly ), the majority will get her back there.
