Mamoru ;3

THIS IS TOTALLY INCOHERENT (and contradicts itself in places)

[eliyes]

Oh, god, there are like three versions. *facepalm* (Not counting Sera Myus.)

* Okay, first of all I feel that Mamoru got the most character development of his three versions in the original manga, even though it's technically shorter than the anime and (comparing how many episodes it took to cover the same story arc) PGSM. He's cuter in the manga, too, in how he acts and how he looks. He said he didn't have powers (like Sailor Moon's), but he did have some. He was just more useful, and more tragic, and still a bit of a trolling dick. XD Also I like his glasses. But when he's being a troll, especially when he's being a troll to cover confusion, amnesia, or strong emotion, I love him best. In the manga he's never as mean as he can be in the anime. Also his thing with the shitennou, in the manga and PGSM, makes me all teary, damn it. THE LOYALTY, IT GOES BOTH WAYS, AND EVEN AMNESIA AND BRAINWASHING NEVER TOTALLY SEVER IT. I LOVE THAT. That's not as strong in the anime

Hehehe ;3

Manga!Mamoru is and always will be my favorite version -- and yeh, much like Tamahome he basically gets gutted in the anime version in order to be made into the Bishonen Boyfriend, which is damned annoying.

He doesn't come out of things quite so badly in the manga (as opposed to the anime) as you think, though. He gets shipped off for the Stars arc but otherwise has a decent showing for the Supporting Male Character [tm]; remember, the manga is where we get all the stuff about the Golden Crystal and Elysion and all, and where there's some cute scenes in the Black Moon arc (I think it's the Black Moon arc) with the youngster at school who idolizes him and sees him heal himself. I know there's other bits but my recollection is kind of blegh atm ~

I'm cool with the Beryl brainwashing in the manga, because that was kind of the whole point of what started the whole mess ;3~

I need to get around to reading Stars. >.>

Utena and because I can't decide between the two, Graham and Feldt.

Utena

[eliyes]

* Utena could have been so much cooler if she didn't fall under the sway of the bad guy. Also she suffers from becoming, like Mamoru and Tamahome before, the Bishounen Boyfriend. Which was kind of what she was going for.

In all honestly, I liked her, thought she was funny and suppoted her for challenging gender stereotypes, and then she basically becomes a cardboard cutout hero for a while, no longer the focus of her own series. She was like the mecha being piloted for the fight scenes and that's kind of it.

Quoting forever movie!Utena's "IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT?!" though.

* Ugh. None, really? Maybe Dios, but it's more wanting to become him than wanting a romance with him.

* Well, Wakaba.

* Alas that my many unpopular opinions about this series are not really directly about Utena herself.

* Heh. I wish she'd killed Anthy and saved the Prince.

Feldt

[eliyes]

* She could have been SO MUCH MORE, and they wasted her in Season 2, much like they wasted a lot of people.

* CERTAINLY NOT SETSUNA. Ugh, where did that even come from --
Clearly she had a little crush on Neil, but I don't think it was reciprocated. I don't ship her.

* CHRIIIIIIIIIIIS. ;o;

* I have no idea what opinions about her there are out there, so I refrain from answering in this in ignorance.

* OMG, first of all I would like her to have punched Lyle, if he had to exist. She should have become a Gundam pilot! And we could have gotten either scenes in the various non-animated materials showing how when her parents died CHELL and/or THE VASHTIS raised her, or an appearance by Chell in Season 2 referencing Feldt's awesome parents. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME, GOD DAMN IT!

Graham

[eliyes]

* He was funny in the beginning, and he sorta redeemed himself in the movie of all places, but in between those points I didn't like him. He was obsessed and off his nut. Sometimes he would say things that were funny, but they were largely lost on Setsuna.

* ...Let's not even go there.

* He clearly bonds well with those under his command, sometimes. You could probably name them better than I could. He's not a bad commander, when he's in his right mind.

* Hm. See above?

* I wish he had never become Mr. Bushido. If he could have regained his -- not sanity, but lucidity -- in Season 2 instead of it being wasted in the movie, that would have made me happy. But Season 2 has a lot to answer for.

[lizblackdog]

Anetheron.

[eliyes]

Anetheron's name always makes me think of Antheum, the flying whale/city on the flying whale's back in Musashi: Samurai Legend.

*cough* Anyway...

* Mainly I felt bad for him at the end of the book. Pretty sure I cried.

* Nobody? Not enough info about his life pre-brainjacking.

* When not brainjacked, his loyalty to his leader, and probably working friendships/political rivalries with his fellow governors.

* There aren't enough of us in the fandom for there to be any popular or unpopular opnions.

* *sigh* I wish he'd been able to die, but I can see why he wasn't, and the country does need someone to put things back together.

[kiffie]

Bones. :3

[eliyes]

AAAAAAAAAAA! :D

Okay, give me a few minutes, I need to think and get in touch with my inner me and stop talking to my dad to write this.

[eliyes]

* I LOVE HIM. I love his bickering and his stubborness and his hypocrisy and his undying principles and his empathy and his brusqueness and his blue eyes and his slower'n'molasses drawl and his willingness to fight for his right to practice medicine and his biting sarcasm and his big happy smile and his sorrow and his sharp mind and the pitying way he treats Chapel for her crush on Spock and they way he occasionally rips parts of Jim's shirts to give him a shot and the way he rules his sickbay with an iron fist but a soft heart and just, basically, every damn thing about the man.

* I will read Bones/Kirk and Bones/Spock and Bones/Chapel and, if I could find it, I would also read Bones/Natira. But I don't ship him with anyone.

* BONES/KIRK/SPOCK BROT3 4EVA. I enjoy his relationships with each of them seperately, and also his friendship with Scotty and his working friendship/mentorship with Chapel, and the way he admires Uhura and and -- look. The TOS crew are a family . (But BROT3 4EVA

[kiffie]

I mean, there's stuff in some of the novels that are quasi-canon that say he lived long enough to see Scotty again.

I firmly believe that shit's canon. After all, he popped up on TNG! "Treat her like a lady and she'll always bring you home." ;o;

Thank you for your Bones squee. :3

[ja_bucc]

Areel Shaw :)

[eliyes]

* I don't feel like I'm particularly attached, but on the other hand, I have so much headcanon for her. So I guess she interested me.

* James T. Kirk, but it's over and they do both know it. She'll always have a soft spot for him, but she won't let it compromise her principles (much) and he likes that about her. I like to believe they remained friends.

* I don't have one, but I tell you what: I bet she hated Gary Mitchell in the Academy and only grudgingly got along with him when they served together on Kirk's ship before the Enterprise.

* XD That I like her at all? That I even noticed her, adn found her interesting and sympathetic?

* Hm. Well, I suppose they could have given her a cameo when everyone was being charged with disobeying orders. Even put her in the crowd. I get a kick out of noticing stuff like that. I kinda wish she hadn't kissed him on the bridge, but I laugh a little wondering what those who saw it who didn't know they'd been an item made of Kirk getting a kiss from the lawyer who'd been prosecuting him.
