| "What manner of a man lets his sister insult his wife like that?" That doesn't really bother me all that much because in big/wealthy famlies like that, the spouse who married into the family generally has no say in family matters; so honestly, she had no right insulting a legitimate member of the family like that. Can her husband really not fight his own battles? What I mean is that there is no prior show of him being pervy/horny. We meet him and then he just jumps out of the boat and immediately grabbed her boobs. Was that really necessary? I just feel like it's so forced. It just bothers me. He just seems like a typical harem MC and that bothers my for a pshycological/mystery anime. Let me make this a bit more clear, let's take Issei for example. From what I've seen, he has a ton of pervy thoughts and drools at girls, so we expect him to be super pervy. But we're just meeting this guy and his thoughts so far have been about his family and their situation. Then, he goes this is my aunt, uncle, etc. Oh, and here's my cousin *grabs boobs*... Why? Do you get what I mean? It just happens out of nowhere for no reason. It would've been more acceptable to me if when he was thinking about his family, he would've been like "I haven't seen Jessica in a while. I wonder what she grew up to look like," or something. So far, I'm not liking it, but I won't decide to drop it until a few more episodes in. I am curious to see if it'll get better, but the characters really aren't doing it for me. |

| Yeah, I wouldn't let anyone speak to my partner that way either, but first, every family functions differently, and second, she's the one that started it by yelling at one of the family members and telling her to leave when she's not even part of the family herself, you know? I understand it's not right, but it makes sense to the way that family functions from what I've seen so far. That I don't mind, though. I don't mind charcaters who are only defined by their pervertedness. It's just that there was no hint or even slight detail of it being a personality trait of this guy. He was letting the audience know what was happening, introducing his family members, saying hello to them, and then BAM I'm a perv! Like, what? I just don't like it when it comes completely out of nowhere and seems entirely out of character and serves 0 purpose to the plot. I get Issei because as I said, he seems to always be thinking pervy thoughts and the ecchiness is part of the plot, so I get it. This is supposed to be a mystery/psychological/thriller and the only characteristic I've seen of the MC is that he's a perv... It just bugs me. LOL don't worry, I won't be dropping it just yet. I'll give it like 5ish episdodes maybe since it is a bit of a longer show. Like I mentioned, though, I am curious to see if it gets better, so I'll keep watching. |

| I mean, those types of women, sure. When I've gotten into arguments with women before, it wasn't really like that. It just depends what type of women they are. And I don't know man, I think either the Zoldycks from HxH or the Brittania family in Code Geass are more dysfunctional, lol. It's Yuki Kaji, so I'm down for watching it <3 Okie dokie, we shall see when we get to it, then. |
|
| I think you need to expose yourself to a variety of women, then, and not just that type, lol The Zoldyck family is still one of the best things about HxH xD I can just pretend it's Mei saying those thigns to me... omg xD Sounds good! |
|
| Yeah, I guess you've got a point there lol Dude, they're entertaining as hell. The eldest is hands-down one of the worst brothers in existence lmao. If I close my eyes and think about him instead of Issei, then I might lmao. |
|
| Oh, I don't like all of them. I just like the eldest one and Killua, and I'm back and forth between the grandpa and the youngest child. The others I don't really like. But the eldest one has the best relationship with Hisoka, lmao. They are so entertaining whenever they're together. That's literally the only way I'll be able to get through the show lol |
|
| As long as they entertain me, I don't really care. I've been super exposed to a lot of them through you, so it's not really a selling point for me anymore for the show, lol. |
|
| You place too much value on entertainment young lady. xD "I've been super exposed to a lot of them through you, so it's not really a selling point for me anymore for the show, lol."  |
| That's like a majority of why I even watch anime, though, lol LMAO omg xD |
|
| Well, I'm not saying I'll love or hate any characters. I'm just saying that as long as they entertain me, then there's no reason for me to drop the show/movie/book, you know? When it comes to loving/hating a character, that's a different story lol Yeah, I kind of figured, lol. |
|
| No, I don't like him just because of that. I like his fighting style a lot and the way he uses his abilities/knowledge while in battle. His personality has nothing to do with why I like him. That's just a plus since he does crack me up quite a bit. |
|
| Yep, Sokala fights in the late 90s/early 100s (can't remember which episode it is). There's a particular scene that I fangirl to every single time I see it (which is once every like month or so lol). No, it scared the hell out of ME. I have no idea what you'll think of it. I just wasn't really expecting it. And if you've seen anything from Hallow, then it most likely won't creep you out (won't say why for the sake of not spoiling). |
|
I definitely don't think you'll like any of his scenes. He's ridiculously impulsive and violent, so I doubt it, lol. I like his type of character when they're completely OP and badass (like both Berserkers, Kenpachi from Bleach, etc... just the overly violent ones that are always just looking for fights). No, I won't tell you because what added to the creepiness was the fact that I didn't know it was coming. I mean, you sort of get hints about it, but when it actually appears I was like "F****CK NO" I mean, I was also watching it at night, so it didn't really help... OH! And you'll be coming up to 2 of my favorite comedic scenes in the entirety of the show, so I'm excited to see whether you'll find them as amusing as I did, lol. |

| I didn't feel bad for her at all, she was been ridiculously immature and obnoxious for no reason #ImGoing2Hell It was driving me nuts, so I didn't even pay attention to her figure, lmao. Nah, he's not my husbando, but I think he's one of the only characters that I'm actually liking. Yeah, that part of the mystery is pretty good. The others are pretty decent so far sicne they haven't been expanded on much. That shed scene didn't hook me, but at least it got the action parts going, so it won't be all talk anymore. I don't mind them talking, but if somebody hadn't died after Beatrice's proposal, I would've been sorely disappointed. Yeah, I get that and that's not the issue. It's the fact that it plays nothing into his character. It just happens super out of the blue. People who have pervy thoughts tend to do so much more often than just once a month or something, even if there's something serious going on, and his 'personality placement' just bugs me from a writing point. It was just bad writing. It's like if I had Hiro staring at Akhari's boobs when they first met and drooling over them and saying he wants to squeeze them, and then have every other scene be the same that it is now. Like... what purpose does that serve, you know? If a person is a perv, you'll see it more often than just one time. He's had plenty of chances to show that side with all of the "blessed" women in the family, and yet he doesn't even bat an eye with them, you know? Sorry, I'm just super salty because that's the type of thing that makes me think it's sloppy writing or they're just trying to "appeal to the male audience." I like the more, uh, wtf is it called? Like choir-singing parts in the beginning? I don't know what to call them xD Just because I get sick of the MCs that won't go all-out in battle or who are all talk and no bite. As much as I love Allen, he gets his ass handed to him way too many times for how strong his weapon is. They've said countless times that the parasitic types are the most dangerous, both to enemies and the user. They're the strongest types because they bond with the user and become part of their body. Yet Allen is constantly on his ass, lol. I mean, I get it and it needs to happen so that he can grow, but come on, that many times? lol. Unlike Naruto who can freaking defeat every damn opponent he comes across... There's just no in-between lol. But anyway, yeah, that's why when there are MCs that are always getting beat, I tend to turn to those characters that are OP and violent to appeal to my inner chaos lover xD That's why I like Kenpachi from Bleach since Ichigo gets his ass kicked quite often, too. After they find Cross, it gets pretty interesting (for me, anyway). I got a bit tired of them constantly searching for him, but they explain why he's been so elusive and nowhere to be found, so the story starts to slowly come together afterwards and KIND OF leads into Hallow. |

| I don't tolerate any type of child abuse either for my own reasons, but I don't care about it in anime because well, it's not real. I'm trying, but the color difference bugged me! lol. I am, too lol Yes, I've heard to not even watch the anime because it doesn't do the VN any type of justice. But, I mean, I feel like the anime would serve as a good "gateway" into the story. Because if you enjoy any parts of the anime, then you'll definitely be enjoying the VN. And if you hate the anime because of the plot/characters, then you're most likely going to hate the VN, too, you know? Yep! That's why I'm so into shounen and sports anime. I think it caters to men because it's a man doing those actions. If it was catering more towards women, they would've had Jessica hitting on Battler instead. But honestly, I think this anime is trying to cater to both. They had Battler act like a perv to please the male audience (since that's something a majority would love to do, but would get in trouble for actually doing) and then the romantic scene between George and Shannon was catered more towards women, since they handled that very delicately and kept it pure. Women tend to be suckers towards those types of things, lol. "Well, I will have to disagree there. But i suppose that's a part of being a woman i guess." What do you mean by this? I have no idea what being a woman has anything to do with what I said? Yeah, I know, that's why I said that I understad that he can't win all of the time since there are other things to factor in, but the fact that he gets beat more often than not with having such a powerful tool at hand (pun intended), kind of got to me sometimes. "But, His power up during the second tyki fight was ridiculous, While the sword of exorcism fits him perfectly, He should have acquired it back in the asian branch, Not there. There it felt like a typical shounen power up." That's exactly why I was making the argument about how Allen is constantly on his ass when this would've made much more sense to occur much earlier on, when his mental state initially began to change. Well, as I'm sure you've noticed, Hallow doesn't deal with Cross and where the hell he is, so you might enjoy Hallow. I say 'might' because quite a lot of people didn't like the season. Particularly those who are DGM fans. I don't really know why? |

| Oh, I know, But I'm kind of in the middle with the show. I'm not quite at the "I can't watch this garbage anymore" stage, so I'll continue! Hmm, other mysteries that I enjoyed were Monster, Shinsekai Yori, Shiki, Death Parade, Steins;Gate, RE:Zero, Shingeki no Kyojin, and a whole bunch more. I do like police mysteries if they deal with ONE major case instead of new ones every episode. So, shows like Psycho Pass, Death Note, Zankyou no Terror. I did like that she's a complete b*tch to everyone but super nice to her husband and son (even though she kind of freaked a bit about Shannon wearing the ring, but that's expected when the person wearing said ring is from a family servant, you know?). LOL that's exactly why I dropped the hell out of that show. It was revolting. |
|
| Well, I wouldn't consider SnK to be a psychological mystery, so there's another one lol. Yeah, I don't even remember how I made it through the entire episode, to be honest, lol. |
