Bleh....I have to agree with a lot of people who have disagreed, the start was a big thing that blew it for me. It's hard for me to see development when they pretty much threw the pairing into the show with no warning other than "But look! It's in the comic!" -_-

People say it's realistic, maybe they're right. Maybe that's also why I find the dialogue and interaction in everything besides the Boiling Rock and parts of the Beach so nauseating. It reminds me of the cheesy teen romances I encountered in high school. Maybe everything wouldn't have bothered me so much if they had taken the time to put their beginning into the show, and if it didn't seem like the only thing Mai cared about was Zuko.

The truth is, I can go on and on about how little development Maiko has, but if I want to be fair, I have to do that for all Avatar pairings, because that's the major problem with most of them. They generally go from one character having a crush on the other to sucking face with little to no explanation. Even Kataang, the pairing that took FOREVER to get together, jumped from Katara being to confused over her feelings with Aang to making out with him without explaining how she got there.

So, I don't like Maiko, but the problems in it are also problems in the rest of the Avatar pairings.
