1) It seems to be one of the most popular pairings in what little of the fandom I've seen, but I really don't care for Riku/Sora.
2) The game itself does have a certain button-masher quality to it--i.e. all you need are opposable thumbs as opposed to possessing a great deal of skill.
3) I would have rather played Roxas straight through KH2 instead of getting Sora back. My friends and I cried when we had to go back to playing Sora because we liked Roxas so much.
I don't really like Riku/Sora either, or Axel/Roxas. XD; They're both so overdone. For once, I'd like to see friendships be friendships! ^^; **has such a hard time finding friendship fics in general.**
That was the other one I was trying to think of--Axel/Roxas. Don't care too much for that either. And I agree--finding decent friendship fics can be hard in almost any fandom. That's one of the reasons why I thought 30_friends was so awesome. It's all about friendship fics ♥♥♥
1) I initially did not care too much for Kaito when I started reading the manga. I thought he was mean to Aoko.
2) I'm not terribly sure if the general "fanon" characterization is right. But this is really debatable, given how little canon there actually is to work from.
3) Totally uke ^_~ (Okay, I miiiiiight be joking on this one...)
1. As we near episode five hundred and manga volume sixty, I find myself somewhat disappointed at the total lack of character development. For example, I like to write Conan/Shinichi like he's really changed for his ordeal, but sometimes the canon doesn't seem to support it. The only development he's shown is a heightened awareness of his feelings for Ran...which he has consistently failed to share with her when given any sort of opportunity.
2. While I respect Gosho Aoyama for finding a formula that works and sticking with it, in some ways I do find Satou/Takagi to be the most refreshing pairing in the series because *gasp* THEY WEREN'T CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS WHO GREW UP TO FIND TWU WUV WITH EACH OTHER. Not to say I don't ship the pairings, but the same ol' gets a little...well, ol' after a while.
3. I'm a die-hard Heiji/Kazuha shipper, and I'm sure they'll end up together. But honestly? The way Heiji acts could very well be interpreted as having zero romantic feelings towards Kazuha. It's quite possible that he does see her just as a sister.
1. Yeah, I've noticed that, too. It is rather annoying. The only real characterization is from the adults: Eri, Kogoro, Takagi, Sato.
2. Hee, yeah. But I like that at least they're all in different situations? Like Heiji/Kazuha is brought out by the "distance" of Shinichi/Ran's. But agreed that it's overused.
3. I would agree if there weren't so many obvious blushes and obvious movie sevens. xDD
1. Ironically, they're also the only ones with unique relationships. I know Eri and Kogoro were childhood best friends, but theirs isn't an automatic happily ever after ^^;;
2. I guess it can't be helped. And it won't stop me from cheering when they all get their ending make-out scenes 8D
3. Except for the part where most people think "We're going to die! I'd better confess!" AND NOBODY DOES!! They've dangled off a cliff, he's had a gun to his head, she's nearly hanged...and he seems completely self-unaware (*points to the case with the magician*) A lot of things seem to point towards "sister" rather than "woman."
Though that could go into a flurry when/if Kazuha just grabs him and kisses the hell out of him. That would be cool!
I LOVE YOU! NO REALLY! YOU CAN HAVE ALL MY UNBORN BABIES FOR YOUR UNPOPULAR OPINIONS BECAUSE I SUDDENLY REALIZED I'M NOT ALONE!!!11oneonehundredeleven *____*
WOW. I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS VOICING THE MASSES--OR VOICING ANYONE ELSE, FOR THAT MATTER! BUT YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!! AND YES, ALL YOUR BABEEZ ARE BELONG TO MEEEEEE!!
1. I hated Sasame for a good chunk of the anime series. It infuriated me. I appreciated that he had some of the best character development in the show, and he did redeem himself...but if you love someone, you do NOT help them to destroy themselves like he did with Takako. That wasn't the way to save her, and it pissed me off.
2. A lot of people seem to like Goh. I don't get it--I thought he was fairly one-dimensional in terms of development. Maybe that's a manga thing? Because the anime barely gave him any development. And I'm rather big on character development, in case it wasn't obvious ^^;;
3. I liked Mayune. She was a bitch to Himeno, and I liked her because of it. It made her unique.
Heh. I didn't care for Sasame but I didn't hate him either. I felt sorry for him and, on occasion, angry at him. Go is an all right character. He had more depth in the manga. For some reason, he reminds me a bit of Heiji. Mayune is... Mayune. She makes me laugh. Curious how everyone focuses on Mawata when Mayune could be considered a bit of a tragic character, too. She focuses all her attention on making other miserable when she isn't happy with herself.
I liked him at first. I liked him a LOT. In fact, when I first got into the series I was a Himeno/Sasame shipper. And then...he pulled that under the guise of wanting to help Takako, and it just blew me away. He did redeem himself and regain a little bit of my like, but it still bothers me.
Okay, so it must have been a manga thing. I'm a fan of the anime, where he didn't get nearly as much depth. That's fair.
I know! Man, I need to write a Pretear fic for 100fandomhell...maybe I should write a Mayune-centric fic. I'd just need to nail the plunnie down. I want to write more for Pretear--that's why I picked Hayate/Himeno up for 30_kisses in the first place ^^
1. NOT EVERY GUY WHO WANDERS ONTO THE PAGE HAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WITH THOSE DAMN SPARKLIES AROUND THEM. SERIOUSLY, LET'S HAVE SOME HUMAN-LOOKING MALES!!
2. In Cardcaptor Sakura, Daidouji Tomoyo is a Mary Sue. She's rich, beautiful, talented, etc. She's wonderful and everyone seems to adore her. Ladies and gentlemen, she is a canon Mary Sue.
3. The second season of the Magic Knight Rayearth anime? I HATE IT. I completely despise it. And since it popped up in the second season of the MKR anime and was one of the sources of my complete and total disdain for what they did with the second arc of that series, I'll add that I do NOT LIKE CLEF/UMI.
Someone else agrees with my feelings on the second season of MKR! *hearts* I didn't like it. It bugs me. Umi/Ascot! Maybe I feel that way because Ascot is cute in a puppy dog sort of way.
1) This is an incredibly sexist series. I know there are some massive cultural differences between the States and Japan, but that doesn't stop my inner feminist from getting her hackles up.
2) I was impressed by how much character they actually managed to give Eclair, despite the fact that she was barely in the series. And I liked her, in spite of her being there to come between Haruhi and Tamaki and their twu wuv.
3) I don't really have a ship for this series. If I had to pick, I'd got Haruhi/Tamaki. But overall, I don't have an OTP.
