Oh please stop with the bittersweet ending = Kawamori being forced against his wishes argument I see being peddled around mainly by Ranka fans. Escaflowne and Macross Zero had bittersweet endings as well.. I guess Kawamori was forced against his wishes of having Allen and Mao endings  I haven't finished the series but from what I hear Aquarion's ending was also bittersweet.
I think there is a post of mine from around the time of the tv series where I said I wouldn't be surprised by a bittersweet ending since Kawamori has done them quite often. I cbf looking for it since I've probably done over a thousand posts in this forum alone easily but yeah... just drop this argument, it has no legs period based on Kawamori's past works.
TLDNR BleachOD and friends on that forum, he's done it before, deal with it. |
Wes, I am myself saying it, or at least hypothesizing a bit about it. And I am quite far from BleachOD.
Because I am feeling pretty bitter about the predictability of it all. It seems Macross shows have gotten progressively worse endings over the years in terms of ending their romances.
SDFM: Good ending ( with caveat in that the mains disappeared a few years later )
Macross Plus: Good ending
Macross 7: Non sequitor ending
Macross Zero: Bittersweet ending
Macross Frontier TV:
Mass facepalm ending ( although logical inference can get you beyond that )
Macross Frontier movie: Bittersweet ending
You'd think Kawamori would have gotten it out of his blood by now.
Eh, I am not so much bitter as simply disappointed, I guess. Although since I have long mentally separated the two continuities, even that is not as bad as I thought, I've cooled down considerably in the last hours. Still, disappointed in the predictability of it all.
