Most people I know who revisit the series come to the opposite conclusion. They hated her when they watched it the first time, but rewatching it they thought she was a good character and admitted their hate probably came from sexism and shipping.

I watched it with one of those people for the first time on their revisit and liked her fine. Nothing about the writing is stellar, honestly, but she's not written worse than anyone else.

Lol not OP but I've never heard anyone come to that conclusion. Everyone I know hated her when we watched it in the 90s/2000s, and hated her again when rewatching it. For the first half of the series in particular I honestly can't even see how it's possible to like her, she seems deliberately written to be as annoying as possible.

But for what it's worth, Heero bores me, too. And I like Duo and his girlfriend (?) together just fine. Actually I think I like every single other female character, but Relena is seriously horrible (though I grant she does grow (somewhat) over the course of the series).

OK guess I'm a liar then.

It's good to admit these things.

DA

Nah, you're not. I've known quite a few people who've had a change of heart about Relena after a rewatch.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-13 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm one of them! I can't say she ever became a favorite of mine, but she got a lot less annoying and I could appreciate her character more.

Yeah, pacifism has no fucking place in space mecha combat.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-13 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
if anything I'd dislike her more these days, because back when I didn't mind the pacifism - now I'm too cynical for it.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-13 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well to be fair, Quatre considered himself a pacifist, too, he was just more practical about it and thus came off as less preachy about it.

I only ever watched the first five episodes and Endless Waltz. (I've watched a lot of UC Gundam, but not a lot of AU)...

I hated her in the first five episodes

I liked her in Endless Waltz.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-13 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I got into the series through the fandom and watch Endless Waltz first since that was all I could find. I honestly didn't understand why everyone hated Relena so much, she seemed an OK character... Then I watched the series. Yeah, it was not pretty.
