Oh my god, you totally nailed that own down! I think the reason why I'm so emotionally invested in this series because of all the possibilities and how it could have been great. I liked the Argentine arc a whole lot (probably because the girls weren't around much and also because there was a lot of family backstory covered - i'm all for some family history hehe) and it raised a lot of interesting questions and could have paved the way for an even more spectacular arc but then the story just 'reset' and went back to the starting point as if nothing happen. Urgh, I hate that. Another issue I have with Yukiru-sensei is that, she doesn't seem to know her characters well? Not quite sure if that's the way to put it, but lemme try. It's like, right from the start she has her characters all planned out in the roles she gave them (Risa is a lovesick fool chasing after Dark, Krad is a manipulative douchebag, Satoshi is angsty etc etc, you get it) and even though there has been sufficient developments in the story to break them out of their secondary character mould, nothing ever happens because at the end of the day, the story goes back to square one! Sensei never lets her character do more than the role she has given them - and it sucks, because they could all have been so much more real and awesome. Sometimes I just go 'arrrrgh why do you want to do that for, you're ruining everything" and other times i'm just "....okay, fine, whatever. i'm too tired to argue with you" and other times it's just "hehhhhhhh...are you for real?"....seriously this series is nothing but heartbreak. One after another.
I am curious, is Ascribe any good? I haven't read it myself yet, partially out of resentment haha! But gosh, I WANT LAGOON ENGINE TO BE BACK SO BADLY, I MISSED ALL OF THEM SO MUCH ;___;
To finally reply to the fanmix...I keep listening to Thistles and Weeds over and over, and you chose one of my favorite Muse songs. And Yuki Kajiura...is that from .hack//SIGN and Madoka? My goodness...
The not-quite-character-development also pisses me off. Unfortunately, I feel as if the only one who REALLY got development is freaking Risa, and it's only in relation to Dark, really. And while Satoshi admitted that Daisuke meant a lot to him and has moments of trust...he still keeps his distance and doesn't really let himself be known...which really is just status quo. I liked the Argentine arc for the same reason; I thought shit was about to get real with all the character development for Satoshi, the emotional issues for Daisuke, and finally more info on the origin of the curse. It really did just "reset", didn't it? I have a real-life friend who agrees that the concept is AMAZING, but Sugisaki just doesn't do it much justice. Krad and Satoshi's relationship is the one I want more info on the most, though.
...ugh, class is starting. Gotta go, though I want to say more. D:
