The two characters that were halfway decent were Kotonoha and Setsuna. The former proved that she’s a complete FUCKING MORON in episode seven, and the latter proved that she’s a slightly less moronic FUCKING MORON in episode eight.
This show is so fucking frustrating.
Kotonoha pretty much spelled out that she doesn’t think Makoto did anything wrong and/or she’s willing to overlook his infidelity. Just… HOW… could she place ALL of the blame on Sekai and NONE OF IT on Makoto? I don’t understand that at all. It takes two to tango, hon–he’s is just as guilty as Sekai.
Actually, Makoto is much more guilty than Sekai. At least Sekai feels bad about it; she wants to at least try to do “the right thing” but she’s overwhelmed by all of these new feelings that she’s confusing for love. I mean, come on, I’ll go as far to say that everyone’s like that–we’re all fascinated by sex when we first experience it (whether through porn, masturbation, intercourse, etc.) and women tend to think, in the words of Ceres (WOOHOO CERES), that a physical relationship taps into a spiritual one. But Makoto is the one in a relationship already, yet he doesn’t feel bad about fucking it up and doesn’t care about the feelings he hurts or the women he scorns as long as he can get some pussy out of it. He has no conscience whatsoever.
How could Kotonoha overlook that? And then she really seals the deal by telling Makoto that he can have his way with her as long as he’ll dance with her at the festival. She stooped that low, and for what? A fucking dance? Kotonoha, you are dead weight. I mean, I’m sure she’s in denial, but it’s not like she had some epic love for Makoto or has even been going out with him for that long. If my boyfriend of only a few weeks was cheating on me, I’d kick his sorry ass to the curb.
The only conclusion that I can come to is that Kotonoha doesn’t really love Makoto; the only reason she’s clinging to him is her own insecurity. She obviously has no idea what love is. If Kotonoha really cared about Makoto, she’d realize that he’s incapable of committing and would be happier not being in the serious kind of relationship that she wants. And holy FUCKING CHRIST, groveling in front of your boyfriend’s lover–what the fuck is that going to solve? You should not HAVE TO DO THAT. What makes Kotonoha think that Makoto isn’t going to do this again with another girl? She just wants him to herself regardless of the disrespect he shows her, and she’s just as selfish as Makoto is.
…and Setsuna is just as fucking stupid as Kotonoha is selfish. You’d think someone as supposedly intelligent as Setsuna would see that Makoto has no redeeming qualities, and even him “saving” her didn’t really mean anything.
You know… I think that’s it. None of these characters are actually thinking. They’re just running around doing whatever the hell they feel like based on childish impulses, probably because they’re teenagers. God, I hate kids. The only way I can watch this show anymore is by telling myself that this is one giant display of what happens when you don’t take responsibility for your actions and have no regard for anyone but yourself.
In any event, this will all make it EVEN MORE SATISFYING WHEN HEADS ROLL AND BLOOD FLOWS THROUGH THE STREETS LIKE RIVERS. Or, that is to say….
DIE, DIE, DIE MY DARLING, DON’T UTTER A SINGLE WORD
DIE DIE, DIE MY DARLING, JUST SHUT YOUR PRETTY MOUTH
I’LL BE SEEING YOU AGAIN
I’LL BE SEEING YOU… IN HELL
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTILY MISS.
(lol <3 Danzig)
Since WordPress seems to hate my comment, reposting it. :3
Kotonoha belongs to the eroge character archetype that has this strange belief that if your partner is unfaithful then it’s
somehow your fault for not keeping him interested in you. Rather than his fault for being a moronic, pathetic, whiney little snot
with no redeeming features whatsoever.
Not even Danzig can save this one, I think. Even if it ends in blood and tears as expected, the payoff is not worth sitting
through a season of shit with characters so intellectually bankrupt that you can literally feel your braincells crying in
sympathy.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some Sky Girls to watch. :V
Best. Photoshop. EVER.
Also, I need to start School Days. As someone who revels in horrible shows and seeing just how bad they can get (it’s the only excuse I have for actually WANTING to watch Trinity Blood and Victory Gundam), I get the feeling this one’s right up my alley.
School Days isn’t horrible at all. It’s just frighteningly bland and mediocre. At least Victory Gundam is actually clearly *bad* and Trinity Blood at least attempted to have a plot. Sort of. I think. Maybe.
There’s actually a surprising number of women out there who, when their husband/boyfriend cheats on them with another woman, automatically blame it on her.
“It’s all her fault! She seduced him! He never did anything like this before she came around.”
Well of course he didn’t, if she wasn’t around then obviously he couldn’t have. Either that or he did but you just never caught him before then.
It’s just a defense mechanism, trying to shift the blame and believe that the guy is somehow an innocent victim, and that if the other woman would just go away everything could go back to normal.
/me facepalm
Ahh well, it’ll just make the sawing all the more satisfying when it comes.
Oh also, awesome Photoshopping work. =D
Really now. Are you claiming that real-life women act logically?
@FuhrerML: THATS RITE, STRAIGHT FROM THE OLD SCHOOL
@Negs: I’m just going to finish it because I started it and I’ve already gotten this far. And I should watch Sky Girls. ;___;
@oniichaaaaaaaan~: Glad that you think so!! You really should get around to watching it! I’d watch it with you, but I don’t think I could stomach this series a second time ’round.
@Negs: It’s.. just… School Days is… well… words escape me.
@0rion: Yeah, I know that it happens quite a bit in real life, but I, personally, couldn’t understand doing that. It’s probably because I actually have self respect.
Thanks! And SAWS, BABIES AND BOXCUTTERS, OH MY!
@Guruhoro: Your mom claims that real-life women act logically.
Whoohoo! Thankfully I’ve dropped it, because I’m just not crazy enough to keep punishing myself with a series like this. Now I’ll just get my laugh from seeing the reactions of people who are still watching this series.
School Days is like HORMONE HIGH SCHOOL DORAMA, WHERE HORMONES REIGN SUPREME, AND THE GUY WITH THE FAGGY HIGH-PITCHED WHINY VOICE WHEN BEING SEXED UP GETS ALL THE CHICKS. wot
Sweet photoshop.
I hope Katsura does not die prematurely, she has much cutting and stabbing of organic condoms to do. Episode 8 made me furious. Rather than face palm for me it was head/keyboard. I hope the whole school burns with the fires of retribution, I don’t want any one of them to live. Still I cannot wait to see the Itou Mating Train to end up as one messy derailing.
Wow…I’m six episodes in…even as someone who revels in crap and loves tracking down bad indy films and watching overtly shitty animu just for the lulz, this was taxing to get even halfway through.
These characters…EVERY TIME I think I find a decent one, they turn into complete, fetid SHIT. I thought Sekai might not be so bad and then she JUMPED ON MAKOTO’S COCK HARDCORE. I thought the class rep was kinda cool, but apparently SHE GETS A MAKO CRAVING IN THE NEXT EPISODE. And the entire cast is all the right sort of annoying when they turn annoying that I spend more time facepalming and headdesking than actually watching the show. D:
Even as someone who can’t stand not finishing series, I don’t think I’ll be quick to tackle the last six episodes unless I’m promised some wholesale Higurashi slaughterhouse in the last two episodes.
Oh man, then you guys are gonna loooove episode 9.
Bring on the face palmings and the head deskings!
Indeed. Something inside me died after seeing Setsuna fall for him too =_=; Well that makes up for the “I’m the Wife” ending in the game.
LOL! MISFITS FANS, YES!!!!
@Hemisphere: LOL YA
@Crusader: thxu lol
After episode nine, I was headdesking. Seriously, it’d be great if that stupid fucking bonfire at the festival ASPLODED and everyone was killed by the ensuing GIANT CONFLAGRATION. Then again, I’m also looking forward to that derailing, so… patience….
@Nagi: *patpat* ;____;
@Hemisphere (AGAIN WOOOO): INORITE
@Hinano: Yes. ._.
@Totali: Well, I got something to say. I killed your baby today and it… doesn’t matter much to me, as long as it’s dead.
WELL I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. I RAPED YOUR MOTHER TODAY AND IT… DOESN’T MATTER MUCH TO ME AS LONG AS SHE SSSSSSSPPPPREAD.
