If Danbooru has taught me anything, people will make their favorite characters be submissive during sex regardless of what their personality is like.
And if it's taught me anything else, it's probably that Toehoes can be put in anything.
Having a submissive partner is only fun if you want a boring-ass relationship.
Also DEM TOEHOES.
Well, yeah, but some people get off on that.
i know i know it weirds me out but still, if that's what they enjoy and if either of them is not getting hurt emotionally or otherwise then who cares
*shrug* I like Haruhi fine, as far as I've read. Yuki is not my favourite character, and I can totally see why people are annoyed by her, but I like her well enough. The ending of Disappearance, to me, wasn't even really about Yuki at all: Kyon would've reacted the same way if it had been Mikuru or Itsuki (or even Haruhi, except that was already pretty much the end of the first book).
Also she definitely isn't just "standing there and feeling nothing at all", she just doesn't show her emotions rather than not having them, blah blah it's more clear in the books blah.
I definitely get the criticism that characters not named Kyon are not given as much development as they could be, even in the books. And Kyon is pretty much 90% of the reason I enjoy it.
Edit@Super Lazuli: Yeah, not going to deny that the English translations of the books (assuming you mean the official ones) are...not ideal, and kinda awkward a lot of the time. I still enjoy them, but I can totally understand being turned off by that.
> But anyway Rei is popular because her personality+situation makes people feel like they want to take care of her thus endearment so Rei
I never found Rei endearing, FWIW.
It's really not...
So he was kind of projecting his own frustration with the entire situation onto her?
@References: Oh, I thought it was some meme I was missing or whatever.
^ People find Rei endearing?
Bah.
This is just one of my pet peeves. Unlike most of the people who fetishize these moe-moe types I have not only dated actual people, I've dated a girl who actually was very submissive.
Those relationships go a lot like this:
"Well what do you wanna do?"
"I dunno, what do you wanna do?"
"Oh, whatever you wanna do."
"Well I wanna do whatever you wanna do."
and so on.
It just bugs me, is all.
Pro tip: fantasies do not have to correspond in any way to real life. Or rather, you can fantasize about something even if you know that it doesn't work like that in reality. That's like... the whole point of a fantasy.
And yes of course people find Rei endearing.
@fourteenwings:
I found it clear enough, and it becomes actual text not long after Disappearance.
Yeah, I guess. But also, he just cares about the SOS people (even Itsuki) and doesn't want to see bad things happen to them even when they screw up, because they're his friends (and Itsuki).As far as I remember, "Day of Sagittarius" is the only episode in the entire show in which Yuki is actually implied to have any emotions at all.
"Endless Eight" has that bit with the mask vendor. Plus, you know, Disappearance, though I guess that isn't actually an "episode".
No, Disappearance just suggests that alternate-reality fanservice-mode Yuki has emotions.
Yuki is actually a far more interesting character in the spinoff manga that stars her. That's not saying much, as said manga is horrible. But at least she's not a rock with eyes in that one.
Disappearance doesn't suggest there is an alternate-Yuki-who-has-emotions, it suggest that Yuki's wish to express her emotions make her desperate enough to create alternate-Yuki-who-can-express-emotions.
@DYRE: It was original reality Yuki that fucked up the whole universe out of some combination of love and frustration.
I remember back when I was watching the show, I felt pity for Mikuru, but now that the story has advanced, I realize she's a pretty manipulative bitch.
Apparently Cyborg 009 is getting an American comic book adaptation from Archaia, as well as a possible movie version.
This isn't the first time an anime and/or manga got a comic book version(see: Adam Warren and his Dirty Pair comics), but this is a pretty strange development, especially since the only thing Americans got from this property was something that briefly ran on Toonami for a bit.
Cool, wonder if it'll be like Heroman =P
Well, this thread certainly went places.
@Super Lazuli: Speaking as just one person, I prefer submissive people because they don't make me feel as stupid as I usually feel. Also, I've only dated, like, one person, back in the 8th grade. Maybe two if you count seeing a movie with the girl I met at last year's PortCon, but we barely talked to each other . . .
I'm a big fan of Ishinomori Shotaro, so I'll definitely watch out for that.
What's Cyborg 009?

Best
You know, Kamen Rider without the bug-face or motorbikes.
why would anybody do that?
^^ That should not have been as amusing as it was...
For all the waifu-havers out there:
i see no misato in there so fuck that shit
I lol'd at the one giving Homura a gun.
Is it bad if I think the giving gifts and cakes and stuff for waifus is kind of cute? >.>
Seem too unhealthy to me. *shrug*
