Ranka last episode.

Interesting. My perspective is biased by knowledge of the US music industry, and not much knowledge of the Japanese music industry, and I saw that
a different way. I thought Sheryl was depressed because she had to cancel her gig due to illness--something that musicians really hate to do under any
circumstances, let alone when the consequences are so dire.

Really, this is the best love triangle I've seen in a Macross series.

It kind of gives me the creeps. Ranka is maybe 12 years old! Okay, I realize she's probably supposed to be older, but she sure acts like
she's 12. At most. I realize that this is one of the cultural differences between me and the intended Japanese male audience, but still... ick. Sheryl is
at least an adult!

Incidentally, Sheryl is also kind of believable as a musician, which is rarely a big priority for story writers! She even reminds me a little of certain
real singer/songwriters I know. ;-)
