Yes, I admit. I'm a romance buff.
So I've taken heavy investment in the potential romances that have been introduced with the injection of more female presence in Yamato 2199.
Naturally, you have KodaixYuki. One of my oldest, all-time favorites. Bringing in a female character for Yamamoto's spot in the cast and potentially starting up a Kodai/Yuki/Yamamoto love triangle (which Yuki is already worried about) adds some new spice to the matter.
Nanba may have a thing for Yuki as well given how he's always hanging around with her.....
There's definitely something going on between black-haired kid and twintails girl (I haven't quite gotten all the new characters' names down yet
) given how he's been scoping her out every time they've been in the same room since they appeared in episode 2.
From the episode 7 preview, possibly the nurse girl has a thing for Kato?
Also from the preview, squint-eyes guy makes a move on glasses girl? (Niimi, was it?)
I especially like the idea of the Kodai/Yuki/Yamamoto love triangle. (he's already scored potential points with her for making her transfer happen) Probably because Yamamoto was one of my old favorites, due in part to
Spoiler for Farewell Yamato movie:
his death scene in Farewell Yamato. I'm not sure why but that scene really stuck with me. (and I was glad/sad to see them bring it back for the lve action movie) I know, not exactly the best reason to like a character.
If they ever do get to the point of making a Farewell Yamato 2199 movie (yes, not the right year I know
) or its TV series equivalent, I think that a love triangle would give more feeling to a Yamamoto death scene..........not that I
want her to die
(I liked the old Yamamoto for reasons other than his death scene, and I possibly like this Yamamoto even more), but it
would give it a bit more oomph to it. (and especially for Kodai)
