fandom is lame
the reason for me writing it is simple. in the middle of each month, for past 7 years, certain cow has blessed us with one chapter. for me, those are one of the greatest moments of my otaku life. seriously, I HATE series that are too long, because usually, more than 52 episodes of an anime and more than 150 chapters of a manga, streach it to unbearable state. the plot has holes, characters become boring and such. unless the author has a great idea for his/her story...
but recently, my faith for fandom has died. while reading posts on LJ regarding latest Gundam 00 episodes or FMA chapters, it seems to me that people are only looking for "shallow entertainment" in media nowadays. they only care for action, explosions, etc. no need for intelligent plot, characters' development, establishing relationships and introducing secondary characters. when I read statements like "Graham is the only worthy thing in there, the rest is totally pointless" or "it's only worth reading when Roy and Ed are presend, otherwise it's boring" I want to smash someone's head. well sorry!! Graham is kickass, true, but why don't you pay a little attention to the world portrayed, conflicts, relations between countries and fighting fractions? why don't you care for unexpected developments or for other characters taking active part in forming upcoming results? I'm really sorry that you don't care for Hohenheim declaring war to Father or for Marcoh defeating Envy. I know that all you care for is Lockon making up with Setsuna, Graham or whoever else and Ed or Roy just being on panels, not really doing anything. don't get me wrong. Lockon is my fav in G00 universe and Ed is my Fav in FMA universe. but it pains me that people judge a series by amount of yaoi hints, not appreciating interesting universe and scenario. but maybe I'm just growing old....

If I ever was to get that kind of attention from green fans, I don't know if I'd feel honored or disturbed by it XDDDD
I've caught up to 23 now (but couldn't stay away from the spoilers before I watched it, naturally ^^;) and, well, yeah, you seem to be right >< They really seem to be aiming for killing off half the cast before season end ;_; I'm only 95% convinced that he's really dead though. It's gundam after all and we haven't been shown the body yet. They can still make a Trowa or Mu out of him. Not that I really believe it... (and my icon suddenly feels sad ^^;)

aaaahhhh I used to be such a big fan of hers^^ heck, I still love her, she's one of the greatest seiyuus there, so characteristic and unique. but I hate her sometimes. if you saw the movie "paprica" then you should know why. if you didn't, watch it
hahaha they can be scarry true XDDD but then again, all of us have started somehow^^
it's a great thing that staff sticks to the scenario and doesn't care for popularity polls (like in GS and GSD's case. ever wondered why Deakka suddenly was in love with Milly?) but then again, my heart will break ;_; I'd say he's dead rather for sure. they showed it in such manner - memories form the past, kickass strategy, and his goodbye. if he DID come back, in the same fashion as Mwu did, I'd be veeeery dissapointed. even if he's my fav meister.... ;___;
and your icon is more than sad now, it's heartbreaking....

and I haven't seen Paprica... yet XD so I don't know why I should hate her XDDD Need to remedy that soon too I suppose (the "see Paprica" part I mean, not necessarily the "hate her sometimes" part XD)
Well, yeah, I suppose the case for Lockon really being dead is quite a strong one this time. And I must admit I too would find it a little disappointing if he's brought back in Mwu style, even if he was the most likeable of the four ;_;) Speaking of dead Gundam pilots - when I finally get a Gundam namesake (sort of, at least), they kill him off after only a couple of episodes... It's SOOO typical XDDD
And poor, poor Felt! ;_;

I hate her for a few reasons, Paprica being one of them. the movie is great, somehow confusing but VEEERY entertaining. the reason why I hate her is, without reading the info for seiyuus, I didn't know she had roles in there. that's the greatest thing about seiyuus, sometimes it's so hard to distinguish them, yet it's fascinating how many voices one person can manage
people say that his brother will take his place. but that won't be the same lockon ;_; hahahaha well I wouldn't say it's only case in Gundam series XDDD usually, if the director has guts of course, the most likable characters are killed off^^'
I just hope she gets through it.... somehow... now that some of Ptolemayos crew has been killed as well.....
no subject
LOL if you only hate her in that way, I'd say you're fine ^^ It's a fine line between love and hate sometimes XDDD
I hope that rumor is just a rumor. I don't want a Lockon clone I think. Not now when I'm starting to get used to him being dead. But then again, if the director's killing spree continues they're going to have a lot of free positions to fill for the second season ^^;
When people start to talk too freely about their pasts, it's a certain sign they're going to die XDDD
no subject
well it's a good kind of hate anyway^^ I still love listening to her, and a few others, but when I find such surprosing roles, I need to bang my head on the wall for missing it^^
it was confirmed that he has a brother, wasn't it? I was surprised that he also had a sister O_o but I agree with you, totally. what wories me more than Lockon's brother, is Nena. she's the only survivor od Trinity siblings, and because Meisters are weak now (it's said that something nasty will happen to Allelujah too) I'm affraid that she'll HAVE to join the:/ and I'd hate that==;
no subject
Granted, she's not one that you easily can identify as "oh, that's her voice again". At least I can't ^^
Actually, I don't think I'd hate seeing Nena as a meister ^^; never mind she's a homicidal psycho and would be all over Setsuna unless the recent events have changed her behaviour somewhat ^^;; She's a better option than the Saji-as-meister rumors at least -_-; (And yes, I've seen all the eps by now. That's why I'm back at this thread XD). I'd prefer Felt though, even if it means an increased risk of her being killed off >< And yay for Wang Liu-Mei, she's the closest we've come a woman-to-kick-ass in this series and she's still promising XD
