Can anyone confirm if Aquarion and Arjuna had bittersweet endings btw?

Wait wait wait...I dislike this conflating of Macross with Escaflowne that's been going on here (not mentioned in your post, but which is something your post grew out of). When I pointed out that Kawamori didn't WRITE a single episode of Frontier, I was roundly criticized for that position, since (the argument went) as chief director, he had control over everything, and thus should take the blame.
But then, when I pointed out that he didn't direct Escaflowne, I was roundly criticized for that position, since (the argument went) the scriptwriter has great sway over what finally ends up on screen.
You can't have it both ways. If Kawamori is going to take the credit or blame for Escaflowne's ending, he shouldn't for Frontier, and vice-versa.
