Digimon 30-day meme, day 114
Day 29: Favourite quote.
The entire episode this comes from is beautiful, of course, but I like this scene because you could totally take it out of context if your shipper goggles were on too tight!
"Katou-saaaan!"
"Whaaaat?"
"Have you ever fallen in loooove?"
That's the best I have... The thing about the dub is, for better or worse, it's a lot more quotable. :| YOU'VE GOT MAAAA- whoops, I mentioned that in the last post already, didn't I?
Day 30: An unpopular opinion.
How about ALL the unpopular opinions? I had unpopular opinions before they were popular! The main reason these opinions aren't shared by many other people is because nobody else cares, but... I'll just talk about one right now, though, since in the wake of a certain finale it's especially appropriate:
I like Tagiru.
Honestly. There are a lot of complaints you could legitimately level at him, although I'm having trouble coming up with one that couldn't apply to some earlier season as well - he's flat except for a couple of quirks that get brought up and quickly forgotten? Hello, half of 02! Disproportionate amount of screen time? The Takuya and Kouji Show! Entirely too generic among goggleheads, especially compared to the one immediately before him? Well... he has hot-bloodedness that will pierce the heavens and Takuya is a Power Ranger, I'd say they're about even.
When I think about Tagiru, I see... maybe not an interesting character as presented, but a sizeable pile of suggestions and random tidbits that could easily make him into one. So he wants to be a superstar - okay, why? And where'd he get the fixation on Taiki in particular apart from it being a physical law of the XW 'verse that everybody wants Taiki? He's possibly the friendliest kid in the world and he seems to know everyone by name, but he hardly hangs out with anybody not named Gumdramon unless there's a "business" reason - could that be a hint at some background? When he jumps so readily into the Hunt despite the obvious danger, is that just hot-bloodedness too or does he have something more to prove?
Am I grasping at straws? Obviously! But I do like him. I can't help it. And not just his theme song.
