Speaking of "edgy" magical girl series, did anybody else watch this niche anime, Uta Kata? I stumbled across it as a kid and watched it thinking it'd be like CCS or TMM (I was a fledgling weeb at the time), and it was very much not either of those things. I remember it dealing with puberty, EDs, and depression. And her predecessor was a magical boy who was in love as an adult with his counterpart (the green haired girl here is also supposed to be the doppelganger of the brown haired girl in a similar way). Not bad, but just… fascinating and nobody seems to mention it when talking about darker magival girl series despite it predating Madoka by quite a while. There was even a graphic impalement scene at the end of it.

However lately online i have seen a lot of people say it was gross because of the age gap. I believe at the start of the series Amu is like 11 and Ikuto is like 15 or 16? The gap is ofcourse not that bad if they are both adults. It's been such a long time since i have seen the anime so i cant remember if it was actually that creepy.

>>351253The age gap is definitely really creepy in retrospect, but like a lot of shoujo, especially from that era, you're meant to identify with the younger girl who is pining for a dark, handsome, mysterious older guy. Glad the trope isn't as popular as it used to be since I don't think media should communicate to young girls that age gaps like that are aspirational, but it isn't malicious per se, just a product of its time. As a child, I didn't even really register the age gap, but as an adult it's obviously different. Even couples like Mamoru and Usagi (in the anime) raise an eyebrow once you're an adult.
>>351264This on the other hand, I knew was fucked up even when I was young kek. Luckily they don't play a huge role in the series, but Clamp trying to "love is love" pedophilia is so unreal still. Glad they toned it down in the anime at least?

Basically mahou shoujo is a theme that has a lot of branches. Stuff for little girls, adult comedies aimed at otakus and 'tragical girls' a subgenre that was started by Utena but popularized by Madoka in the 2010s generally characterized by bittersweet or straight up depressing endings and the three shows on the fusion meme are well known for being heavy deconstruction series (whether of the genre itself, fairytales or the concept of prince/princess)
Most of the stuff you see from it nowadays is just trying to cash in on Madoka though, mahou shoujo site being a good example (the evil onii chan was the funniest though not gonna lie).

No. 351608
>>351590Whatever he puts his always very scarce female cast through is nothing compared to what he does to his male cast. If anything he treats the female characters with kid's gloves. It's hypocritical of you to highlight the imagined plight of the female characters (hardly any worse than what, for example, CLAMP did to their female characters in X or Anno and co. to the girls in NGE) where the males get far worse deals. Fate/Zero has like 4 women of any importance? Of a cast of ~25? Get some perspective. How exactly is Saber mistreated, more than other servants? Her mental anguish over her country is mostly self-inflicted. Irisviel's role is just an expansion to what Nasu wrote first. Ditto for Sakura.
You know why we don't get any female characters that aren't tropes, Mary Sues or waifubait? Because of the bitching of people like you - to write a complex female character you cannot infantilise her (her conflicts or what she fights for are so trivial that they can never bring her any harm) or turn her into a Mary Sue who always wins in the end. Damned if you don't, damned if you do. Next time you start wailing that there are no good female characters in anime/manga/cartoons, have a good look at yourself and your 'contributions'.

nonnie mentioned.
If he actually had general chops as a writer, I might be able to look past some of this shit, but he never really amounts to more than a self-hating depressed writer producing the same "damn shit sucks" drivel over and over again under a thin veneer of philosophical posturing he barely understands. He inserts his ego into projects like Madoka or Gaim while expressing a clear lack of appreciation for the established genres he's intruding on. I can't stand Psycho Pass because you have to endure an entire season of stupid shit for it to "get good", despite the fact that the whole premise is fragile under the examination of any real-world nuance.
You know why I bring up his women in this thread above any of the other issues I have with him? Because it's topical to the thread topic, and because we were talking about Madoka, and because it's a genre about women and for women. But it doesn't mean he has any worth as a write outside of it, all he writes is shit that cynical sheltered losers use for pseudo-intellectual masturbation.
Your last point is additionally bizarre considering who we're talking about and at that point I think you're just projecting arguments you've had elsewhere onto me. How is that even related to Urobuchi? How did anything I say indicate the kind of female characters you seem to believe I want? Evil feminists like me are keeping him down from writing interesting and nuanced female characters? If that wasn't your point, then shut it, because I'm not interested in standing in for some other argument you lost once about female characters and have been seething over ever since.
CLAMP and Anno are also such weird examples to bring into this. CLAMP hardly runs parallel to his work, and it's doubtful anybody with as many grievances as mine towards Urobuchi's writing would happen to be a worshipper of Anno's work. Although, you know what? Anno does bring better women to the table than Urobuchi does, even if he's a pervert about it.
TLDR though since you don't seem to be good at reading complicated things:
The issue isn't the suffering of characters. You actually seem to recognize aspects of his writing without grasping the issues with it– everybody suffers, but the male suffering exists to some ideological or developmental point where the female suffering is tacked onto paperthin characters for the sake of the suffering itself. THAT'S why the female suffering gets called torture porn while the shit that happens to his male characters doesn't get the same criticism. Women aren't people to him, they're at best masturbation material or plot devices.

Even as background noise it's pretty nice, I binge watched it not too long ago because I watched the "Looking for magical doremi" movie (which made me cry btw) and I got a bunch of cozy feelings because I remembered how I would watch doremi every afternoon as a kid, my parents would sit with me on the bed and talk or do whatever while I was repeating the spells and such.
Magical girls are seriously the best concept that has ever been created.

>>354576Aaaw, Nona, you are making me cry. That sounds so nostalgic and sweet. I also remember my childhood friends and me watching it after school and loving it. You are right - magical girls and witches are the best and such fun a power fantasy for us, and I love seeing female-centric stories, friendships and team work. You made me look it up and now I found a page that has all the dubbed episodes in my language, which would make it extra nostalgic… I might really start watching it again at this rate, maybe while folding laundry and stuff. Thank you for the inspiration.

Asking specifically about series you interacted with as a child, which magical girl shows defined your youths, nonnas? Let's define childhood as pre-HS
For me:
>Introduced to animanga through Cardcaptor manga given as a gift from a clueless relative
>Doremi and Shugo Chara are particulalry nostalgic, as I always saw merch and books of them in stores in my native language as a child, but by then my grasp of the language was already fading, so I wished so much I could understand the stories
>Vividly remember bingewatching Shugo Chara, Kamisama Karin, and Tokyo Mew Mew on youtube once I hit late elementary/middle school
I'm especially curious as to how you ran into these shows.

>>354669As a kid, I watched DoReMi, jewel pets, W.I.T.C.H., pop pixie, and idk if it counts but I My Mine cooking Idol.
DoReMi was the show I'd watch after returning from school, the rest were ones that aired in the evening and I'd watch after doing my homework or after waking up from my afternoon nap. I remember copying the W.I.T.C.H. girls and using my baby sister at the time's toys as magical items and the heart of kandrakar kek. Now I'm an adult, I actually bought a necklace of the heart of kandrakar to wear. Can't see they defined my youth as much as yours did though, because the way I truly got into anime was totally different.

>>354669Was a toddler I would watch doremi because it was the kind of shows that would appear on national TV back then, anime was ridiculously cheap so my country's channels would always buy anime series.
As a toddler I always wanted to dress up like a witch for carnival and whatever other costume parties would happen, my parents would buy me like, the usual witch outfits and I would enjoy them anyways kek, even though I wanted to be more like doremi but it was fun, I loved the pointy hats the most.
I also wanted to do stuff like be a rhythm gymnast so I could run around holding ribbons, ribbons to me were like this protective force field that let me transform kek.
As I grew up I would keep on watching anything with a cute protagonist, like Mirimo depon-?- (mirimo zibang) sakura card captors, sailor moon, digital charat nyo, Tokyo mew mee and so on.
I unironically loved dancing because to me that was like a transformation sequence, and I always wanted to wear skirts and carry whatever gave me that feeling of "this is definitely my destined magical item" and to this day I actually only buy stuff that give me that feeling kek, specially when it comes to jewelry or other kinds of accessories, they don't even need to be "magical girl like" they just give me /that/ magical feeling, like I could transform with the right spell.
this is probably the most autistic thing ever I can't believe I'm even typing this.
I used to download the transformation music from the shows I liked and I would practice how doremi would transform, I also use it to make me cheer up so I can dress up for the day. Another thing is that whenever I put on perfume, I imagine is doremi's cologne tap, and that I'm actually getting a magical girl glow up.
Most of the stories I write are obviously based on magical girl stories and I'm actually writing a story in which my best friend is a magical girl. I'm also still trying to create a cute mascot but it's kind of difficult to make something as cute as the pets from precure or doremi's fairies.
I've read a bunch of magical girl manga and watched a few of them too, and to this day I honestly wish that magic was real because that would be so cool, as a kid, the idea of being a magical girl was what helped me a lot to go through the bullying I went through and it was kind of why I still believed in friendship and being energetic, that you could talk out whatever issues you had with others and that maybe we could all be friends at some point.

I found it adorable. Love how obsessed Komugi is about Iroha - her nightmare about being left by her almost made me cry lol. I’m looking forward to watching this new series weekly.

I honestly didn't mind Tsubasa, I'm okay with a boy Precure once in a while as long as they're as inobtrusive as he is (no romance, no troonshit). Kamen rider has been improving its inclusion of female riders in recent years, and the currently running season had its first female secondary rider (for those unfamiliar with Kamen Rider archetypal roles, that's huge), and wrote her as a dual protagonist, no less. I really couldn't care less what kind of representation boys get, but if the exchange means young girls will get to see themselves in KR, then I'm happy to make the exchange once in a while.
How did you feel about Hirogaru, by the way? I really liked the characters initially, but the season ended up not holding my attention and I dropped it halfway.

>>355616We do not talk about the weird Precure faggots here kek. To me, they are the opposite of what magical girl series stand for. I don’t care for more diverse male representation, magical girls are for girls and women only. Every time a scrotoid main character appears in a magical girl story, they make me seethe. When they fade into the background and the writers don’t push a het romance, I can usually ignore it, but the hate is what it is. Of course I love hearing about women appearing more in Kamen Rider and stuff. Women shall have it all, but moids don’t deserve anything.

Currently rewatching sailor moon and honestly, the only main senshi I quite like is Minako
>Usagi's fine in the earlier parts, but her Mamoru obsession gets irritating as fuck since I don't like him and don't care for them as a couple at all. Also her voice can get kind of annoying which is weird since the seiyuu sounds fine in other stuff she's in like eva and DR2?
>The only thing Ami ever does is complain that they need to study more, I guess she's meant to be relatable to Japanese kids or something but it just makes her come off as a huge nag. Usagi is gonna be an immortal god in a few years does it really matter if she studies or not? Same goes for the rest honestly.
>Rei's a bitch and I genuinely don't know why the show likes to pretend she and Usagi are friends
>Makoto is fine, I could do without her 'muh height' thing and I wish they leaned into her sukeban stuff from her first scene, but she's okay enough.
I'd probably say Ami is my least favorite overall.
Minako though genuinely surprised me at how much I like her. Not only is she basically a more likable and funny version of Usagi but I think she did the best take on the truly wanting to give up being a superhero at points and I like how she has some depth to her character and is the character who isn't constantly perfect and does some shitty things without being a huge bitch like Rei (the episode where she was cheating on Tigers eye and Hawks eye in particular stands out as a cute episode with her).
If we're being honest she and Usagi are the only ones who actually seem like close friends while the rest are just kind of nagging harpies. Basically she's a character I would genuinely like to have as a friend irl.
No. 356953
>>356914it still bothers me that they changed rei's personality so much. i really hated her as a kid because i naturally gravitated towards usagi (because i wanted to BE usagi/sailor moon) but when i started rewatching the show a few years ago i really began to like rei. i don't enjoy her being obsessed with moids but i like how she's constantly telling usagi off because usagi is sooo annoying at times because she's always crying and wailing about dumb shit. i understand that ami comes across as the nagging mom type with her constant need to study, but it's important to remember that they are still 14 year old teenage girls, not warriors stuck in teenage bodies with their old memories and maturity fully intact. so even if they do know they used to be warriors, their memories of growing up as ami and the others are fully intact and aspirations of growing into adults, going to university, having a career, etc. are more tangible than defeating evil and living on the moon. i fully understand why her behavior bothers you though, i feel the same way about katara from atla. even though i know why she is the way she is, i just find her super nagging and annoying.
regarding minako, iirc from the manga/supplementary material, venus was closest to sailor moon and would serve as her stand in to protect her, like in the episode where venus pretends to be sailor moon. so it makes sense that the two of them are super close and great friends. funnily enough, i didn't like her much as a kid because i found her character design so boring and bland and like she was trying to be too much like sailor moon, kek. peak 6 year old girl logic, i guess.

Has anyone watched episode 3 of Wonderful Precure? What did you think? I liked it; it was a peaceful and harmlessly cute watch. Still annoyed with that boy though and found his advice/his role so far kind of useless. That little fairy bunny was adorable though, it reminded me of the fairies from earlier seasons. Still no actual fighting, but it kind of makes sense, I think. Children are dumb - what if they copy the things they see on TV and stark play-fighting against random animals they see, or even their own pets? I wonder if that’s the reason behind why the „fights“ in this season consist of chasing and petting/calming down the enemies.
>>356914I agree with most of your observations. This is kind of why I’m too afraid to rewatch the old series because I don’t want to ruin it for myself by noticing so much annoying stuff that I didn’t realise as a kid kek. I think it’s tragic how they changed the personalities of the main senshi from their original manga counterparts. This is also one of the reasons why I enjoyed Crystal so far - even though the characters oftentimes look weirdly thin and ugly.
No. 356971
>>356914the old sailor moon anime reeks of seething moids and i will never understand why it has gotten a girl power reputation. the manga is primarily a coming of age/romance story but the men who made the anime toned the romance down probably because the felt threaten by Mamoru or the fluffy romance between him and Usagi. They also aged Mamoru up and made him more hostile towards Usagi.
They removed the romance-aspect of the story but they didnt focus on the female friendship either. Except for Usagi and Minako, none of the girls like each other and they only hang out because of their senshi duties. Rei and Usagi's interactions are genuinely unpleasant to watch because Rei always has something to complain about. They dont have a hero/lancer dynamic
i think that was what the writers' intention but they failed because they cant write female characters they just dislike each other and not once does their friendship seem genuine. Rei's personality was completely changed because the writers wanted a classic-beauty tsundere waifu. Even Luna seems meaner towards Usagi than she is in the manga, literally all anyone does in the anime is bicker. Its like the male writers went "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh how do we write teenage girls? teenage girls are all boy crazy, right? and like eating sweets, right? and they bicker all the time, right?" and thats why the anime has several scenes where the girls crush over some random guy and fight over who gets to woo him. As
>>356965 says the anime is also obsessed with age gaps. Mamoru is aged up and several background romances are with teenaged girls and adult men. The storyline with Naru and Nephrite is stupid because its written like an anti-pedophilia PSA (Naru starts keeping secretd from her parents, she sneaks out, she ignores Usagi when she warns her about Nephrite's true intention) but in the last minute they conclude that their weird relationship is actually romantic.
the old Sailor moon anime is proof that male directors should not adapt shoujo manga written by women unless they are going to stick to the original story. Men
despise media targeted towards tween girls and are obsessed with improving it AKA making it more appealing to men. Something similar happened with the recent Lovely Complex dub controversy

>>356971>the manga is primarily a coming of age/romance story but the men who made the anime toned the romance down probably because the felt threaten by Mamoru or the fluffy romance between him and UsagiHonestly that's one of the reasons why I prefer the anime to the manga despite my complaints about not liking most of the main cast. The manga is basically ONLY Usagi and Mamoru miracle romance shit with occasionally some third party love interesting popping up and Usagi's friends are mostly just there to have an introduction chapter and then not do much else for the rest of the manga. Antagonist characters in particular got a huge boost going from basically serving as fodder in the manga to being important characters of their arcs and having a lot of really fun scenes (I'm currently on S and professor Tomoe is a lot of fun).
>Rei's personality was completely changed because the writers wanted a classic-beauty tsundere waifu.I get the complaint for this but in the manga she doesn't really have that much personality, I would have just preferred if they had her be the one in the group who wasn't boy crazy.
>the old Sailor moon anime is proof that male directors should not adapt shoujo manga written by women unless they are going to stick to the original storyEeeehhhh…they did that with crystal and look how that turned out. The manga just isn't a very good source material outside of a lot of lovely designs and had they stuck to the manga the series wouldn't have become a cultural icon.

No. 356988
>>356979>I don't even think the original anime is super appealing towards men outside of Ikuhara anyway.Ami was one of the most popular waifus of the 90s and a lot of otaku media for males of the time referenced Sailor Moon. In fact, Ami's First Love was an OVA made for all the male fans who had her as their waifu.
Since the 80s, male otaku always flocked to magical girl shows due to the cute female characters and started seeing them as their waifus (not unlike bronies with MLP) and the writers and animators knew that. The Sailor Moon anime actively catered to the male fans and it wasn't just Ikuhara's doing: they basically turned a romance shoujo manga into a slice of life comedy with a group of cute girls doing cute things and looking sexy while fighting. It's not annoying and overtly moidy about it (after all little girls were the primary demographic) but there undoubtly was a desire to reach the male otaku demographic, because the otaku merch market was in its infancy at the time and they knew a bishoujo sentai series would make a splash. Unsurprisingly, they made a lot of plastic models of the senshi with very detailed panties.
To make a more recent example, Toei execs actively thought of the 15~30 years old males target demographic when planning some, if not most, Precure seasons. I definitely remember reading about it for Futari Wa and Fresh. Only relatively recently they finally started giving a shit about their older female fans, for both SM and Precure. But sadly, cute anime for little girls will always have moids flocking to it like flies and they'll be among their biggest whales.
The only ones they like less at the series with overt shoujo manga tones and artstyles, like Mermaid Melody.
No. 356991
>>356988I do always want to clarify with Precure since people seem to associate it with moids so often: men have always been the secondary demographic, young girls always come first. Not for any righteous cause, but because children are always the most profitable fanbase for any franchise they flock to. And the staff has always been heavily female compared to most anime productions. And parents do watch what their children watch, so they make sure things stay palatable for them to ensure they don't get complaints.
I know the nonna I'm replying to didn't say it, so this isn't directly in response to you, but I'm tired of people dismissing Precure as moidbait when it's literally not. And the elements that do cater more to them are largely innocuous, like action and drama.

>>356971Retarded take. The manga is extremely boring. Ami, Rei, and Makoto barely had personalities and overall the Senshi might as well not have even been there besides one or two chapters where they matter and while Mamoru sucks less he still fails to be compelling or interesting. Plus there's all that weird incest shit with Chibiusa going on that just won't end. The anime gave everyone character arcs and developed its antagonists besides "minor annoyance that will be killed in a single chapter".
If you want a magical girl manga with a romance focus that isn't a snoozefest go for Wedding Peach instead. I don't recommend the anime overall because almost every change they made was unnecessary and there's moidy episodes but the manga's a good time.
No. 357012
>>356971>none of the girls like each otherI don't think I've ever seen this take before, are you working off the ancient dic dub? Because the big thing most manga lovers dislike about the original anime is that it's mostly about the girls and their friendship instead of the romance. The take that they hate each other is not something I've ever seen out of anyone except people back in the day who only watched the 90s dub where they did change most of the playful chatter into being mean but even then by the second season they're actual besties. The anime is all about girl friendship right to the absolute end and the change in the ending from the manga is related to it too. If anything the big issue the manga has is that there is no real friendship between the girls, Codename Sailor V had better friendship representation imo.
>Rei and Usagi's interactions are genuinely unpleasant to watchTotally disagree, their relationship was one of the most interesting and strongest bonds. Even season 1 had an episode dedicated to showing that if anything, Usagi trusted Rei more than anyone else and that their bickering didn't represent true feelings for each other for anyone who didn't get it in the audience. Usagi literally gives her the wand over anyone else to hold onto. If your experience is with dubbed sailor moon then it's probably the localizations making the dialogue angrier than it ever was that has coloured your perceptions just because these are some rather odd takes about the material.
I agree about the aging up of mamo as well as the naru relationship being a large age gap though (though at least I always thought the guys were like 17 like mamo so at least not adult), but the aging up is something you can ignore because mamo being an adult doesn't change anything about the dynamic (it's a pointless change) and naru's relationship with nephrite is like 5 out of the 200 episodes we got before she ends up with a classmate for the rest of the show (and mostly forgotten unfortunately). The anime isn't exactly "obsessed" if 99% of all relationships are of equal age ranges and the only two i can think of that aren't are the ones listed. I can't think of anything that would be the "many background relationships between teen girls and adult men" that you're referring to. I'd seriously need examples and know what seasons they're from because I'm drawing blanks

Nowadays, I have more sympathy for Chibiusa than I had as a kid, but I hate that part of her character arc. But speaking of Chibiusa, I adored the way the old anime introduced Hotaru and the friendship of the two girls. The scenes surrounding Saturn were so much more atmospheric and dark to me, the way the old animators made it, compared to Crystal. I watched some comparisons of those scenes on YouTube.

No. 357111
>>357091I think this might be because big part of moids who are into mahou shoujo or are more invested in it are ''lolicons'' and Mermaid Melody has more developed teen looking heroines, if there was a new mahou shoujo anime where the characters are all adults i doubt that it would attract the same creeps.
Moids like that usually like to ruin the innocence of a show by lewding it, i guess this still sticks to actual degenerate mahou shoujo shows because most of the characters still look undeveloped, Sailor Moon is an exception when it comes to this because the girls don't look like 8 year olds but i think that's because it's old, classic, and extremely popular anyway so it's bound to be lewded and obsessed over.
No. 357118
>>356971I disagree. Well, I agree about the age gap stuff, but the primary point of comparison between the manga and anime has always been how the manga barely characterizes the senshi and focuses almost entirely on Mamoru and Usagi's relationship. The anime is frequently accused of focusing too much on the girls' friendship, if anything. Their archetypes are fairly simple since the anime is targeted towards a younger demographic, so I can kind of see why you'd be wanting more complexity, I guess? I understand why Rei and Usagi's relationship might not have landed for you, but they make it obvious at many parts that Rei and Usagi are very close (when Rei loses her pure heart crystal, when Usagi entrusts her with her moon stick, when Usagi holds her body after Galaxia wipes out the inner senshi, etc.) and it's why many fans consider Rei to be Usagi's best friend. And ultimately, if you didn't think the anime was convincing in terms of the girls being friends, I don't see how the manga could convince you either. Unless you think that wasn't an important element of what made the series so successful.

>>359421I'm not really surprised honestly. A lot of mahou shoujo fans ignore this (for some reason) but a large majority of the genre particularly in the 90s and 2000s was ecchi shows.
Plus fatefags automatically have poor taste so I'm not surprised they got it ranked that high.

To keep this thread alive I must ask, has anyone ever happened to read Kamichama Karin and Kamichama Karin Chu? What were your thoughts on it?
I will admit this was my very first ever magical girl manga that I read in middle school and I have to say that I couldn't even finish it because the plot just got so convoluted and memeable kek

>>362202I remember loving it when I was young, watched the anime AND read the manga. I got into it since IIRC the author also made the DiGi Charat characters?
That being said, I could not for the life of you tell you anything I remember about it as opposed to other series I was into at the time like Galaxy Angel or TMM. I do remember it had convoluted time travel shenanigans and stuff? And also I yume'd Michiru hard kek

>>362202I really liked A Tiny/Little Snow Fairy Sugar (Koge-Donbo designed the characters) so I watched Kamichama Karin and read both the original manga and the sequel when I was 12~14. I have to agree I barely remember any details aside from the fact that it was confusing and some of the plot twists/revelations.
I really like Karin's design and all the illustrations Koge-Donbo drew of her, I just love her artstyle.

Speaking of mahou shoujo series from our childhoods we can't remember much about, I still love Vanilla's design from Sugar Sugar Rune even if the series itself hasn't persevered in my memory. Sort of wild every time I remember that the author is married to Hideaki Anno. Mostly because I can't believe that guy is in a lasting marriage.

This is pretty retarded and I doubt I'll be able to word it right, but the inappropriate relationships nevever bothered me in CCS. I'm sure it's because I watched it as a kid but the relationships feel like what little girls fantasize about and since I didn't know better at the time it was all so harmless.
I know in real life it would be disgusting and inappropriate for a teacher to date a young student, but due to my nostalgia goggles it doesn't seem like an issue that translates to the real world. At that age a "relationship" was holding hands, at most an innocent kiss, and then babies just magically appeared. It really felt like that, like playing house but within the cartoon. I really don't know how to explain it well but it feels like when a female writes a story like that it's not coming from the same sexual grooming pedo place it would be if was a male, but from experience of playing around as a kid. But again, nostalgia goggles are drilled into my head.

>>362219Awww I respect your opinion anon, but Kazune will forever have my heart and I still think he was perfect with Karin.
I can't help it. I don't think he's cute NOW of course (he's a shouta boy after all kek) but I definitely found him cute when I was in middle school. Even though he had a bad temper I couldn't help but find it adorable. And his intense fear of bugs was relatable. And that scene that really made me fall for the Kazune x Karin ship was when Kazune clumsily drank a bit of sake and got drunk, then he admitted his feelings to Karin and kissed her. I still remember how seeing that scene when I was younger made my little heart squeal.

>>362263Asa kid I was actually influenced by sakura tbh, I used to think I was /so/ mature and not like other girls because I'm autistic, so I would always and blatantly fantasize about a wonderful teacher or 21 (somehow it was the age I found attractive as a 9 years old) adult that would fall in love with me, I mean, in sakura it was normal, so why not? Luckily in my school every adult was very smart and normal, so nothing bad happened.
I also hated syaoran with a burning passion because to me, back then, he was annoying like all the boys at school.
The thing is that exactly because it isn't sexualized and it's seem as just hand holding and kisses on the cheek, it's what makes it quite dangerous, because a little girl with issues will want that sparkly romance with a oh so "mature" guy who is 100% a gentleman and totally not a huge ass creep.
I'm pretty sure I'm like a 1% of the public that felt this way while watching sakura, and now I would dare to say thay maybe it was more of a story for ladies with kids to watch and remember these fantasies they had while at school, like the idea of wearing cool outfits, the idea of meeting magical beings, the possibility of getting that cute young teacher to fall in love with you. It's a weird way to interpret this, but it somehow makes sense to me.
