Magical Jesus Ranka would have been replaced by more realistic blood transfusion (and not cringe-some slap to an agonizing woman).

Well, many fans have noted a visible disconnect between the drama of episode 24 and the happy-go-lucky ending of episode 25.
I will say, though, that I vastly prefer Alto being alive and the ending of the romance left to infer to the viewer ( which, as I always say, ain't that difficult if one cares to do some analysis of where the characters are emotionally at the end ) than Alto dead/millions of lightyears away, Sheryl in a coma and Ranka left alone. Even if there was a resolution.
Then again, maybe Alto and Sheryl are connected to each other through the earring. That still leaves Ranka somewhat unfairly screwed over.
Well, I wonder if people in Japan will still want to have a proper conclusion to the series and will nag Kawamori for an OVA. ^^
