A parody against something like moe eventually turns into moe itself, that the kind of thing the concept is.

When has the whole thing of チャラ作り had a purpose? Both when I read it and when I watched it I just chuckled and moved right along. You give a nekomimi character her moments, after all, Hanekawa doesn't have many of that

That's why they should use different kinds of characters. I don't think a grandpa with ears attached to his head and saying that would turn into it

チャラ作り? I didn't watch the anime or read the manga of that thing. I don't even know where it's from

Yeah, that's that the definition, more like a result. I said it like this:


One example regarding the "act according to the result": Some moe characters say something like "ugyuu~" or "nya~", which is just retarded. The creators make them say that, so that people think that they are cute or whatever. It's just one word, but that's the most obvious example. The other ones are sentences or complete dialogues.
Hm, maybe you could say it like that: The story makes the characters<--->the characters make the story. I don't know yet whether that fits my thinking, but I like it. The latter applies to moe anime.

And btw: What did Code Geass have? I didn't see any shoujo and moe...and I can't really remember shounen aspects either. Some examples would be useful.


Quality works for different people in a different way. I don't think there is a universal truth regarding that matter. I know, it's pretty much just the overall consensus.

Since the definition of the word quality is different, why not? And hm, if you think otherwise, please give me the clear definition of it(in regard to anime/manga). It would be fine if we talked about anything physical, but this is different.

What makes you think that? Lelouch sister was kinda meh at the end, but other than that...


That's why I made a distinction. *sigh* Now it kind of bothers me, because it's "mature" and "mature mature". I should have used a different word. "Realistic" kind of fits the mature I'm talking about because, like "mature", it's not variable. I just shouldn't have used that word because your "mature" is my "mature mature". So much for the confusion, all the thanks to me

I think I will refer to it with "realistic" from now on, even though it's not THAT adequate and mature mature becomes mature, just as it should be.
The funny thing is: If I would read it as a bystander, I would think that all the over-complicated stuff is retarded. In the end, it doesn't really help you understand it which was originally the purpose - why I did all of this.

Honestly, that rumor of a new FMP was floating around before that image, never got around to see if anything came out of it.

Mago got a bunch of things changed, they look really determined to fit it into 26ep.

Well, Mago did start out pretty slow. Besides, it's all perfectly justified to rush through the portions where Kanna was relevant, even more so that Hirano Aya is voicing her. > : )

I was surprised to see so much Gyuki this early, though. I suppose they had to set the tone right from the start.

Yuki onna has nothing on Kana-chan, only Yura can compete

And yeah, they just want to rush past the stupid stuff and get us right to Hagoromo Kitsune, perfectly fine with that.

Unlike last time *cough*Cielisthebest*cough*, I actually have numbers to back me up on this. So ha! The latest chapters are also rocking with me on the same ship.

Unfortunately, though we need to keep in mind that same poll also had Youhime and Gramps at insanely high levels because they just had an arc involving the two. I am sure if another poll is conducted now Yura would easily be more popular than Yuki onna. I am just waiting for Kana to become relevant again, much like how I insist Cleo will have a function in Break Blade.

Unless the translation has been falling behind the actual thing, it has been all Yuki Onna recently. I really don't think Kana is gonna get relevant again, since we've pretty much left the normal human world and entered into youkai battles.

As far as I know, not that behind, and it isn't like Yuki Onna is doing anything as Rikuo is the one doing all the work. Well, guess I just find it odd that we had a lot of things involving Kana and Rikuo in night form, feels like the mangaka will try to use her yet.

Also watching densetsu no yuusha no densetsu, this is pretty amusing, I think I'll dig the books up to read.

Yeah, but that Kana was doing all that when Mago's popularity was so terrible that WSJ might just drop it. Now that she's not doing anything, it shot up and got an adaptation before many of the other titles.

Mago underwent an identity change and got more popular. Kana was a casualty of such change. While I can fathom that the author original intended Kana to be the love interest, I don't really think that's the case anymore.



I heard it's pretty darn long. good luck =)
