Mainly I just have an issue with the claims I've seen elsewhere of people saying Ouverture "converted" them from liking Shinku to liking Gin instead. I mean, it's rather obvious how Ouverture reinforces the feelings of people who have always loved Gin and hated Shinku, but I just don't see how people could suddenly stop liking Shinku because of Ouverture. If one already liked Shinku with her personality in the first two seasons, I don't really see any difference in Ouverture that would change things. I felt like I must have been watching a different version or something based on what I had heard about how horrible Shinku was.
Like I said in the favorite character thread, I don't have anything against Gin; like most everybody, I liked her more after Traumend and Ouverture even if she isn't my favorite... I just feel the need to defend Shinku against what seems like a misguided surge of hate after Ouverture
