I have to disagree here, Ranka and Sheryl are *FAR* more sexualized than Misa and Minmay ever were, and at least Minmay *looked* and *acted* like a 16 or 17 year old girl, which is more okay than a girl that looks and acts 12. The eroticism was fine, but the oversexualization of Ranka was icky.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the sexualization of Ranka was a little on the pedo side. I guess that's one reason I preferred Alto + Sheryl than Alto + Ranka. Sheryl looks older than 17 while Ranka definate does not look or act like she was 16.
As for the sexualization comparison of Minmay and Misa to Rank and Sheryl, it is true that Macross F had a lot more. But I attribute to the different era when the animes were created. Back when Macross started, the generation wasn't close to being as sexualized as today's teens. They didn't have Britney Speares, the epitomy of a whore, back then as a teen icon. Sadly, it's like the norm now for our younger generation.
