This is in terms of the war plot and pop music, yes, but not the love triangle. Yot-chan has said a few times that the ending was not Kawamori's brainchild (notice the shift of tone and atmosphere in episode 25) and was against it (in previous Q&A, it was stated Alto would realize his feelings and move in some big way). Yoshino (the scriptwriter) gave an ending where Alto didn't decide aloud, not because he loved both in the same way, but he lacked self-awareness (even if he admits that, to him, he tried to convey his feelings for Sheryl in episode 24).

Now light novels wise, this changes.
