3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates

10. A pairing that I despise
11. Favorite character
12. My five favorite characters
13. My five least favorite characters
14. Which character I am most like
15. My deep, dark fandom secret


Shinkenger:

1. The character I first fell in love with: Takeru, actually, pretty much in the first episode.
2. The character I never expected to love like as much as I do now: ...Ryunosuke. I don't LOVE him, by any stretch, but the fact that Aiba was in Shinkenger actually kept from watching for months, so to fidn out that that I actually enjoyed the character was a surprise.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Kaoru? Although I don't HATE her, I just dont' care very much. Although she did get to be cooler towards the end.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: ...Mako? I don't know about EVERYONE, but what with all the talk around LJ about how Mako is a bad example that single-handedly sets women's lib back by about 50 years just by existing, it seems liek she gets a fair bit of hate. And I personally think there's nothing wrong witha girl wanting a family and liking to cook, and think she's an amazing, compelling character. One of my favorite female characters ever, in fact.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: no one comes to mind
6. The character I would shag anytime: Juuzo
7. The character I'd want to be like: Hm. I don't know that I want to be like anyone. There's certainly aspects of several characters that I find really admirable, but as a whole I wouldn't want to be them.
8. The character I'd slap: Kotoha. Please get yourself a personality.
9. A pairing that I love: Takeru/Mako
10. A pairing that I despise: I don't DESPISE any pairings like I despite certain pairings in other fandoms *cough*Ren/Shinji!*cough*see my answers below*cough*, but... I find Takeru/Ryu kinda... very very iffy. And then a pairing like Ryu/Mako I honestly just find kind of silly.
11. Favorite character: Oh shit. Uuuuh. Genta, Takeru, Mako and Juuzo.
12. My five favorite characters: Genta, Takeru, Mako, Juuzo and Chiaki
13. My five least favorite characters: Kaoru's bitch, Shitari... and Kotoha, for completely different reasons.
14. Which character I am most like: I don't think I'm LIKE anyone in Shinkenger. But I find Genta to be the easiest to relate to, if that counts.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I think a lot of the *~opinions~* that a large portion of the fandom holds are utterly ridiculous. :D


Agito:

1. The character I first fell in love with: Hikawa. And he remains my favorite.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Shoichi. Not because I didn't like him, simply becauseI didn't expect to love him.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Uh. I have no clue who Everyone Else dislikes in Agito.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Same as above. :D
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: No one
6. The character I would shag anytime: Hikawa. Duh.
7. The character I'd want to be like: Ozawa and Hikawa
8. The character I'd slap: Hojo. :D
9. A pairing that I love: I don't really focus on shipping in Agito, but this is an intersting question, because throug the series I THOUGHT I shipped Hikawa/Ozawa, and then I realized... I really don't, their relationship isn't about htat. And then I was kind of -_- at the whole Ozawa/Hojo thing at the end, and then they had the cameo in Ryuki Episode Final and I realized... I don't SHIP it actively, but it's kind of awesome. Also I really liked Ryo's relationship with his biker girlfriend at the end, it was so cute.
10. A pairing that I despise: Well, I really hate the idea of any configuration of Hikawa, Shoichi and Ryo being shipped with each other. And I really really hope people don't ship Shoichi and Mana-chan, because that makes my soul cry inside.
11. Favorite character: TADA NO NINGEN DA!
12. My five favorite characters: Hikawa, Ozawa, Shoichi, Ryo, Mana-chan
13. My five two least favorite characters: Kino and Aki
14. Which character I am most like: Hm. Maybe I can say that I think I used to be a little like Mana-chan at that age, sorta
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: ...I kinda like Hojo.


Kabuto:

1. The character I first fell in love with: Daisuke? Bear in mind that I first watched a couple of eps simply for Kazuki, back when they aired.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Yaguruma, Kagami and Kageyama are all characters I didn't expect to love. Maybe Kageyama in that he was the only one I kinda hated for a bit.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Tendo. :D
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Uh. No one? I have no idea?
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: No one, but I will say that I USED to be more amused by Tendo than I am now.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Wagatomo KaGAAAmi AND Yaguruma. Kagami probably smells better, though. :3
7. The character I'd want to be like: Gon or Kagami
8. The character I'd slap: Kageyama, for most of the series.
9. A pairing that I love: Hoppers ♡
10. A pairing that I despise: I despise Tendo/Kagami with the fire of a thousand suns. Of all of THOSE types of ships, it may be the one I despise most because of relative popularity.
11. Favorite character: Oh shit. Yaguruma and Kagami. REALLY can't pick between the two.
12. My five favorite characters: Yaguruma, Kagami, Misaki, Gon, and either Daisuke or Kageyama as fith. There's actually SO many characters I love in this series, though, that it sucks to limit it to 5.
13. My least favorite characters: Negishi and Mamiya Reina.
14. Which character I am most like: I'm not really like anyone. Misaki in SOME ways (mostly in how she relates to people, in that she's not really a particularly WARM person in general).
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: no secret here

...Ryunosuke. I don't LOVE him, by any stretch, but the fact that Aiba was in Shinkenger actually kept from watching for months, so to fidn out that that I actually enjoyed the character was a surprise

Yes, this. Aiba didn't keep me from Shinkenger, but Ryuunosuke was definitely one of the factors that had me leery about jumping back in and finishing up. Instead I found myself liking him, and to this day I can't really figure out when that happened XD

...Mako? I don't know about EVERYONE, but what with all the talk around LJ about how Mako is a bad example that single-handedly sets women's lib back by about 50 years just by existing, it seems liek she gets a fair bit of hate. And I personally think there's nothing wrong witha girl wanting a family and liking to cook, and think she's an amazing, compelling character. One of my favorite female characters ever, in fact.

Mako ♥ This whole anti-Mako feeling I'm seeing in places really makes me nervous about checking episode recaps by anyone whose feelings about Mako I'm not sure about already, because so many people min-interpret Mako and that causes me to RAGE. She has a right to want to do something besides be a career woman or be a samurai for the rest of her life.v Hell, at the moment it doesn't even matter, because right now she is a Shinkenger, and she's not letting her desire to get married and have children in the future get in the way of the fact that she's a little busy kicking all sorts of ass. Any time anyone hates on Mako I smell violent feminist tendencies and just--you are missing the point of her people D< Besides that, it's not like she didn't come from a normal family, so clearly her own mother--who was clearly a badass, she hurt herself so much even when she had a five year old waiting at home--wanted to be a normal wife and mother and managed to be a samurai, too! /useless rage at fandom

Clearly I need to be farther than ten episodes into Agito before I give it to you in a meme :/ still, it's good to know that fact that I don't really ship Hikawa and Ozawa is not strange. Also, even at the moment I would incoherently fangirl rage at Hikawa-Shoichi-Ryo having relations with one another D:

Wagatomo KaGAAAmi AND Yaguruma. Kagami probably smells better, though. :3

The scent builds character! :D;; I put forward the suggestion that if you had KaGAAAmi and Yaguruma at the same time you'd be distracted from it anyway?

I despise Tendo/Kagami with the fire of a thousand suns. Of all of THOSE types of ships, it may be the one I despise most because of relative popularity.

I have to say I'm fairly blase about Tendou/Kagami, but the popularity of it in relation to the other ships in fandom does piss me off. Besides that, I don't think it's a very healthy relationship and I ship Misaki/Kagami kthx

Takeru/Mako ♥
I see no problem in Mako wanting to have that kind of woman's life, in fact I find it a very interesting point in her :D

15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I think a lot of the *~opinions~* that a large portion of the fandom holds are utterly ridiculous. :D
Agree with it, sometimes I went "orz" too much.


Also I really liked Ryo's relationship with his biker girlfriend at the end, it was so cute.
Felt so bad when she died, this could be a amazing couple ;_;

Btw, despite Ozawa/Hojo, it's really hard to do a ship in Agito, at least with the main characters, mostly because the series really isn't focused in romance at all.


For a moment I went LOL about Daisuke, then I remebered you are Kato Kazuki's fan XDD

Kagami isn't my fave, but is a character you can't don't love 8D/

8. The character I'd slap: Hojo. :D

This several times over, god, he was so SMARMY. I didn't really hate him, though. : D

Also Mako is awesome and <3.

I despise Tendo/Kagami with the fire of a thousand suns. Of all of THOSE types of ships, it may be the one I despise most because of relative popularity.

You know...I feel that way about a lot of ships myself...het, slash, femmeslash...if it trumps a lot of the pairings or gets in the way of an OTP I just despise it to pieces.

I've seen about as much Kotoha-bashing as Mako-bashing. A lot of people hate her just for being shy, because apparently a "real woman" is loud and forceful :/ I've also seen some pretty crude stuff about the lengths she might go to get Takeru's attention, which IMO is uncalled for.

how else can you explain someone calling Mako and opportunistic gold-digger?

It's because right after she turned down Ryuunosuke, she starts going for Takeru and he is wealthy. I don't really like her but it doesn't make a lot of sense. The episode where Takeru poses as Kotoha's servant gives a pretty clear message that marrying for money isn't a good thing to do.

For instance, how it was at the start of Double, with with everyone kind of picking a ship with barely an ep aired (or without ANY eps aired, just based on the assumption that Shotaro and Philip would OBVIOUSLY be totally married), and how it seems to be with Goseiger too.

Goseiger? Do you mean the Red/Pink fans?

8. The character I'd slap: Kageyama, for most of the series

D:

[sunvulcan.livejournal.com]

(sorry, wrong journal again)

Magiranger had a character that was basically a combination of Mako and Kotoha (does the housewife thing, always worries about people, very quiet, not much personality) and no one seems to hate her. Wonder why?

I meant "going for Takeru" as in that was the point where the show starts giving them a lot of scenes together. But yeah, she's no Anna Nicole Smith.

No, I mean people already shipping Black/Yellow like it's on fire. Specially considering they're SIBLINGS. I find that more than a little gross. :D;;

Ugh, really? Red/Pink is the only thing I've seen people ship already but then it's a pretty good guess the show might go for it, because of the "childhood friends" thing ...

Oh come on. I love the little bitch, but don't tell me YOU didn't want to slap him when he kidnapped Gon, for instance?

... yes :( *iz bad fan*

also you are totally making me want to finish Agito like right now. I got about five episodes in and then gave up as I was about to start finals D:
