I absolutely agree...the major plot points are resolved; yeah, there are tons of little details and loose ends to engage the specialist, but most people aren't Frontier specialists. Every work of fiction ALWAYS has loose ends and unanswered questions.

(And hey...it's okay. I do have a stick up my ass about people who obsess over the love triangle to the exclusion of all else. So include me all you want!)

Yeah, my main point is still the damn romance was left unresolved (which is different from "inconclusive", btw ) and that was pathetic storytelling and needs to be corrected in the series continuity. But nobody can tell me that an OVA would just consist of "Sheryl and Alto embrace, Ranka wails "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!", The End". There are still lots of things which could be done for one or more episodes of an OVA. A second season would need more stuff, but as I said, I just put five minutes of quite pissed off thinking into it, I imagine more creative people like Shoji Kawamori could conceivably come up with something more to do with these hugely popular characters than little me.
Ummm...yeah. I didn't say there was nothing else to be said, ever...just that the story was resolved. An epilogue would've been nice, but it didn't happen. It didn't happen for any other Macross series, either. What happened to the three Zentradi spies from the original series? Was everyone on the Macross's bridge okay after Kamujin's final attack? What about Claudia? Did she ever find love again, or did she just drink herself to death? Was Isamu punished or rewarded? Did he and Myung end up together? Who did Mylene finally choose? Did Max and Milia ever get back together? Where are Shin and Sara?

It's par for the course. We can HOPE, of course, but I'm just trying to be realistic about it.
