I don't mean to raise pitchforks. This is the only source I found to support all this notion that Ohnogi worked on the second half and nowhere else. I looked more into it and I found that it also came from Macrossworld.

^ That was the famitsu interview complete with episode commentaries from Kawamori. Would this mean the cited famitsu article was different from the one I just posted? There was no confirmation that the content was similar. Might shaloom be mistaking Ohnogi for someone like Yoshino?
I can atleast confirm and perhaps the others too that there was a cited magazine interview last year stating that Sheryl was supposed to have a small role as opposed to Ranka if it weren't for the fans. That is why they made the story into a battle between two rival singers. Minmeis so to say. That might be the reason why Ranka was shafted in the end to spare limelight on Sheryl. Two little queens ending. Personally, I didn't like the two Minmeis thing because Alto's character was shafted the MOST. I agree with Final Vegeta on that. How long did it take you to type all that rant? Good going on hating the writer. We don't hate the characters drawn on paper, we hate the human controlling them from behind.
