Sheryl is indeed awesome. ♥ Ranka has some great moments later on too.

They actually change the ED quite a few times through the series, depending on the situation. :D I recall there was one entirely Ranka-centric OP too...when I was watching, I remember being impressed how they kept constantly throwing out new music. "Holy crap, another new song?!"

I've read some spoilers, so yeah, I know that Ranka does some cool stuff later on. I just hope it's not too late. Right now she doesn't seem to have much personality beyond "cute" and "determined." Not that I really mind that--I refuse to hate her just on principle, poor girl gets bashed enough in the ship wars--but I find Sheryl a lot more interesting so far.

Yeah, all the music is one of the reasons I decided to start watching it. It's pretty impressive.

Personally, I thought the character development for both girls were good enough in the end that they made Alto look bland in comparison. Which, considering Alto is the protagonist, is kinda amusing and frustrating at the same time. ^^; But yeah, better not say anymore for now...

Well, as much as I prefer that everyone get satisfyingly developed, I'll take a show where they develop the girls to the exclusion of the guy(s) over one that's the opposite way around. :)

I like to call what Ranka has 'puppyhair' because it acts very much like the ears of a puppy.

Also, in episode 5, note very carefully what Alto is doing while Sheryl writes lyrics on a giant pair of panties.

He's making a paper airplane. Out of the paper he's not offering to her to write on.

It is puppy-like adorable.

I'm not sure we can be certain that he's making the paper airplane out of regular paper. I mean, he makes paper airplanes out of everything, including random napkins. But still, it's probably better for writing than a giant pair of panties.

Yes, exactly. I can understand people preferring Alto/Sheryl over Alto/Ranka. This is fine.
What I can't understand is people actively hating Ranka. Hating Ranka is like hating puppies.
