86--EIGHTY-SIX (light novel)
coolxal said: Just watching the first half of Episode 1 and seeing both characters before they interacted with each other, I could see two things. 1. Undertaker is a stoic, emotionless ace pilot killing machine 2. Lena is a pampered, idealistic, naive princess all about that peace I'm waiting for Undertaker to tell Lena "I'll kill you" every time they meet and then never actually kill her. You mean from Gundam Wing right? (I had forgotten their names, but you mentioning them reminded me of them) This sort of dynamic really rubbed me the wrong way in that show, esp. as so I dropped it at the 2nd episode. I'm currently waiting for the season to end before I watch it, so I really hope this doesn't have something like that, because that really turned me off in Gundam Wing (as I said above) - hopefully either Lena will be more sensible than Relena (btw they have similar names: let's hope this isn't a bad omen) and won't tolerate kill threats, and/or this Undertaker guy is more sensible and doesn't spout that edgy bull in the 1st place. |

| It doesn't feel like that's the dynamic they have between them. So far, it seemed to me that Shin has a lot more character than Heero. I'm not saying he wouldn't say that to her (It'd be more surprising if he doesn't at some point), but I definitely expect their interactions to be on a much deeper level. |

As an aside, funny thing is I already knew from the Gundam subreddit that Heero was like that, but had thought it wouldn't bother me that much, yet in practice it did. So I guess I'll see how I feel about their dynamic when I end up watching it. |

I'm pretty sure the other characters refer to the MC as Shin (his name is Shinei, but that nickname can also be interpreted as Shinigami indeed, good point!). I say keep watching, I'm personally enjoying it so far. |

I say keep watching, I'm personally enjoying it so far. In truth, as I said above, I'm not watching it rn, as I'm waiting for the season to end so I can watch it at my own pace (I do this for a number of shows in the last few seasons, as to not have to follow too many seasonals) - which also means I did the Shinigami observation completely blind. Good to hear you're enjoying it though - that's probably a good sign for when I get around to watching it. |

| Unlike Relena and Heero, the two mains of this show aren't insufferable. |
