Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

[(Anonymous)]

The more that series went on, the more I was done with Yuu Watase. I loved the concept of Fushigi Yuugi and got attached to the characters, but it probably should have ended at the tv series ending. The tv series alone was traumatizing enough, but the more the story went on the worse it got.

I remember after watching FY my friend tried to get me into Ayashi no Ceres and a only a few episodes in I was like, "NOPE more of Watase's bullshit. Nope nope nope nope."

Whatever you do, don't read Sakura Gari. It is easily her worst series when it comes to rape and sexual abuse. Not to mention it is legitimately terrible.

Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

All her main characters, by which I mean the relatable whinge fest self-inserts, are the same anyway. Read one work, you've read them all (plus or minus magical trauma).

da

Takiko from Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden was a pretty decent protag iirc. Itchas been years since I read it though and I never finished it so she could have got worse.

I liked Imadoki and Alice 19th but...I also haven't read them since high school.

Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

Alice 19th still holds up pretty okay. It's not the best thing ever, but Alice is relatable, and shows some fairly realistic growth over the story.

All I remember from Alice 19th: One time the dudes accidentally kissed, there was a bunny girl, one time the girl and her sister were in the shower together and the sister had EVIL RUNES all over her body, the token American was a black mailman named Billy, and there was also a cool Chinese girl.

Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

[leikomgwtfbbq]

The mailman actually inspired one of the characters in my pet project!

Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

[caecilia]

That is rad! I always liked him. Even though he was a very minor character he didn't seem like a stereotype for Americans or for black people, and I thought that was cool since the only Americans I'd seen in anime up to that point were blonde, blue-eyed, and went around shooting people.

Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

My sister read Alice 19th on a whim, and I think she liked it. I don't trust her taste in anything though. Because I enjoy hate-watching/reading/playing sometimes, I might check it out like I've done with some of Watase's other things. why couldn't i stop reading absolute boyfriend the fuck is that book my kismesis???

I bet if I went back and reviewed all the things I liked as a teenager though, I'd probably find it doesn't hold up to my tres cooler measure of quality now

Re: Stuff you used to love but now can't stand?

Lol I started reading Absolute Boyfriend when I was getting Shojo Beat (I cancelled it after they made the ink pink and blue, and also wrote them a strongly worded letter protesting the change). How did it turn out?
