No, that's the problem. It IS the main plot now. They've spent far, far more time on this than any other aspect of the show the entire time it's run.
Even before the show aired the news coming out was that the anime would focus more on the romantic story than the war story, so to be honest, it was at that point that many of us should have (or did) realized, "Oh crap."
