Well - i watched this anime now and bring my personal view into this.
Everyone has the own favorite girl for Andou, it's normal.
Sayumi
She is the best girl you can have in your life. She is intelligent, logical mind woman with the appearence that she is stable. And with stable i mean, she is living with true goals and can decide life-changing decisions. She is strict, but can be very relaxed if Andou is near.
Andou x Sayumi is the most balanced relationship since they balance each other in their character.
Tomoyo
She is shy, but "crazy" as Andou ;) Their controversy are natural and they suits each other perfectly. It remembers us how the relationship works and reflects it on our own "Genjetsu". A relationship is not only about Love, it's about Love, controversy, different opinions but same interests, living together but always to master the challenges together. It's easier to have the relationships if the partner is on the same level as yourself.
Andou x Tomoyo are the on same level and ofc, their bonds are strong. They will have their Up and Down, good and bad days, but they'll master it. Good and stable relationship.
Hatoko
She is something the old-classic woman and pre-time imagination. She is loyal, very friendly, warm-hearted, good cook and heavily cared to beloved person. She is the best wife you can have if you're truely man in the house who brings the money and protect the family. She will always support your decisions, but the decisions always come from the man. That means, the man is the leader and she is the "follower" (or servant or whatever). In critical times it can be negative if you decide always from yourself and don't have any backup from the wife because the wife will always go for your decision. Doesn't matter if it's right or wrong.
When i look into Andou x Hatoko...it will not happen. The character of Andou is too "weak" as the leader in the family right now. This relationship would be less-stressed bond.
From my PoV i would ship Sayumi or Hatoko. I'm kind of mixed man with old-classic traditions and modern development as man. A woman who is like Hatoko is mostly welcome because the Real Life is stressfull enough. But Sayumi is someone who is your backup as carry if you're not able to do something right.
I don't choose Tomoyo because i don't like "same character, but only in opposite gender" thingy. Even Andou and Tomoyo talk very natural and they're are more like "best friends" in my eyes.
As final conclusion: my shipping is 60% Sayumi, 40% Hatoko ;) |
