Re: Reboots?
XD
The thing with the other romances though is that played right, they would be less a romance and more a bid for normalcy- and realizing they no longer can be normal. It would work with Ken especially, I think, precisely *because* he doesn't have that tragic backstory. He's doing it 'cause he likes it. Maybe it could even be a misplaced "I should want to be normal" thing, but then realizing that he just... isn't.
And then you'd have initially him and Yohji seeming the ones without the tragic backstory, then Yohji's girlfriend pops up in Schreient and everything gets way tragic, and they all look at Ken and he's like "nope, that's it. I was just left for dead and now I'm an assassin because I can".
And I agree with you that his snapping in Gluhen was interesting - and it could be tied into this type of arc, with Ken being the one with the "least" reason to fight, and yet still being super into it.
What we're saying here is basically, let's have the characters be proper characters and not tropes, let's give them character arcs, and let's execute them well XD
Yes her name was Tot! That was it.
Oh gooddddddd remember Omi's romance with his sister-no-she's-actually-his-cousin or whatever XDDDDD
Though tbh, in the current haremy mindset where little sisters only show up to be love interests, it could be vaguely refreshing to have them be in love, actually discover they're related, and then not be together with none of the moe bullshit.
.....orrrrr we could scrap that bit, because seriously.
Did Aya even have a love interest at any point? I don't remember.
Re: Reboots?
I think they even might have tried for that with Ken's "romance" subplot, it just was so badly executed that it didn't really show. It did seem a lot like a futile attempt at normalcy he couldn't really have anymore.
I absolutely agree that Omi's weird romance could be scrapped and nothing of value would be lost.
So in general: less tropes, better quality, amped up grittiness and genre-savvyness. It could be so nice. So sad it will never happen...
... hm. I think he had this weird subplot with the girl who reminded him of his sister (the one who was supposed to look after Aya-chan in at the end?) and I think it had this weird "is this supposed to be romance or just his sister complex acting up" vibe again. But it's been a while, I'm not entirely sure...
Re: Reboots?
Now I'm really bummed that this series we're imagining doesn't (and will never) exist XD
In my imagination, it looks really great.
Imma go draw the boys in Darker than Black style and cry over what could have been.
Re: Reboots?
Ah yes, well, especially the whole "old character design" thing would never happen, even if they rebooted it (which will also never happen haha)...
Ha, do show me if you draw them! I'd love to see that.
Re: Reboots?
If/when I do, I'll drop you a line XD
Re: Reboots?
Thank you :D
