I've been reading these posts about Touka-san, and aside from the usual character with a cold hard exterior, nice looking character design, and knows how to hit people really hard with a ladle, why is she a #1 focus? There's the assumption that there's some kind of mental issue that's keeping her from communicating effectively with her, but aside from that, I'm not seeing why people are so fascinated with her other when she's just like every other cool, mature, has a nice voice character. It's not like there's anything new to be said about someone like her.
I probably just like that type of "usual character".

Kaze whatever you do, I'll be there for you!

Its because in a show flooded with autism, she is the only character that isn't retarded and/or annoying.

+ Show Spoiler +Right, because choosing not to talk to your little sister about her problems because it's "embarrassing" isn't something that seems kind of silly?

+ Show Spoiler +Maybe I saw a different show and I've only seen the first 8 eps but Touka has made repeated attempts to reason with Rikka. I don't know if you're used to a super harmonious, open, and understanding family life or something but I found Touka to be quite civil and concerned, considering how selfish Rikka acts and how much of a burden Touka herself has supporting the both of them while herself dealing with the grief of their parents' deaths.

+ Show Spoiler +I don't think that's what I'm arguing, and the post you quoted was in episode 9 (hence why I spoilered it) and is just a direct response to Sent's personal assertions. I think Touka and Rikka's relationship is interesting, but my qualm comes when people think that there's something uniquely special about her circumstances that makes her stand out. There's potential, there's no question in my mind about that, but the amount of exploration doesn't justify the praise that I see for her.
Also, her "civil and concerned" attitude is only towards Togashi, who she reaches out to since she apparently can't get through to her sister. I don't want to spoil anything, but the latest episode just made it seem like she doesn't even bother trying, which is strange she kind of tried in the previous episodes, but kind of didn't since there's the implication that Touka had no idea how to deal with Rikka's strange condition in the first place, which is fine (I think physical punishment only reinforces the fact that she's in some kind of "battle" with her sister). The scene I'm referring to is probably more for comedic effect than anything, but when you give off the vibe that the reason why you don't want to talk to your sister about what appears to be very serious traumatic issues is kind of silly, there's a disconnect between her mature attitude in the previous episodes.
Like, I said, I don't have a problem with her. I think she's interesting and amusing. It just feels weird whenever every single time an episode comes up, one of the most dominating posts is "more Touka-time please" when I don't see any reason why that needs to be the case. I think her air time is pretty substantial give how small a role she's meant to play anyway.

Why is it weird that people want a character they like to show up? My previous post, and Echo's, says why people like her. YOU like her, apparently. So whats the problem with people wanting more of her? I don't think there is anything "uniquely special" about her, in terms of anime in general, but within Chuu2, she definitely is filling a unique void within the show, and people apparently would like to see more of that.

Because I think there's a difference between liking that a character fills a certain necessary role in a story and wanting that character to just be there all the time (or at least more than he/she currently receives) when I think the amount of attention on her is fine.
Maybe it's because I like the rest of the cast, and other people are annoyed with one, two, or all of the other characters and would like their screen time replaced, but I think Touka's role is sufficient given how little her role's supposed to play in the story as far as time on air is to be concerned.
Like, the progression of her story is going at a good pace, and I like that about her. I'm glad she doesn't show up more often because it keeps up her intrigue. I think revealing too much at once would just ruin the pacing. *shrug*

Yes?
This is coming from the person who likes half the shows you hate. Do you actually find that question necessary?

well znf think of this way: anyone who favors the other characters aren't going to ask for more screen time cause they get plenty. So there's a posting bias such that people will ask for more of her whereas this does not really hold true for the others. I mean, we're dealing with a pure moe show with "plot" so it's not like you can logically justify liking a character over another when they're all fairly static and uninteresting (in a character depth way, not comedy) in the grand scheme of things lol. It literally boils down to "I'm watching this for cute girls so I want more screen time of the girl I like the most." Just enjoy the moe~
I think I'll stream Nana concert after I make dinner (1-1.5 hours) and then play BW after. Concert is only 1.5 hours so plenty of time! just need to procrastinate...going to say start stream at 03:00 GMT (+00:00) just to make sure I'll be ready by then and so there's a set time for everyone.

Her character isn't really interesting at all to the plot so I don't care for her that much.
