Long story short, while I do sometimes comment on stuff that concerns various ships, for me it's mostly about characterization and stuff. (Or when I feel the need to point out that not everyone has the same opinion. :P) Obviously I do have preferences, both in actual pairings and also characterization and relationship dynamics, but I'm trying to avoid discussions about which ship will come true. I just don't find it particularly fun. (Not just in EVOL mind you, this is something of a principle for me.) (Btw, I think I'm older than you so Kuro would be fine. ) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2012-02-09 at 08:07. |

I just want my 2 favorites charas to get what they want.
Kagura gets Mikono. And Zess gets Amata. If next week confirms she's really in the naive innocent type and not just trolling Mikono. Besides AmataxMikono is just so unsexy compared to the other 2 possible alternatives. XD |

I dunno, isn't that the VERY definition of 'trolling the shippers'? XD
Seriously speaking, I wasn't invested in either Ranka or Sheryl at the time, but even I got seriously got miffed (trolled if you like) by the ending. Even M7 had Basara making a decision (music!), and MF was the first Macross that was open ended in terms of romance... and I hated Kawamori for it. Quote:
Good examples too, but the one I'm actually thinking of is Gundam SEED. At first Athrun was framed as an antagonist, but really he was co-protagonist w/Kira like 1/4 of the way into the series.

As for accelerator, he littlerly is the main character in some novels and the stories about the science side of the index serie and he is one of the main characters in the New Testament series. As for not believing, why shouldn't you? There seems to be a huge bias on your side because of your character pairing preferences . |

And Kumagawa is doing more than the other 2. edit: got ninja'd on that As for aquarion it's still too early to say that Kagura will remain to be an antagonist, but all the hints that the anime is giving suggests that he will become one of the main characters later. So either deal with it or drop this anime if you don't like the prospects of it. |

I guess none of the people commenting on my posts after mayumi are reading my original posts, because my whole point is how most of the time female characters get shafted in mecha anime combat-wise, regardless of skill. (not just in mecha animes though) Like Soma Peries in Gundam 00; she was a good pilot, but in S2 she didn't get anything done and ended up only serving as a character conflict for Allelujah Haptism. What you're saying is an extension of my "girls in mecha anime get screwed out of getting combat focus" point.

That why you won't get the usual shipping rage that plagues these types of shows. So that should something happen you'll be pleasantly surprised rather than expecting it and end up being very annoyed. Considering how this thread is going if Kagura doesn't end up with Mikono there's going to be a lot of rage... |

Same in Macross 7 for that matter - even though I preferred Mylene with Gamlin (aww Gamlin) I was more than fine with how it ended (partly because this way there was a chance for Gamlin as well as Basara if he ever became interested). Hell, I spent the series rooting for Gamlin while being absolutely convinced that he had no chance and Mylene would get together with Basara at the end... so yeah, I was actually rather satisfied. /off-topic Actually, I agree with this. I say let the show take us wherever it will, it's not worth getting so invested in something that may or may not come true. Last edited by kuromitsu; 2012-02-09 at 09:52. |

I doubt it...

Which means she has no reason to fear him anymore...because she realized he worried about her. Of course this is an assumption but it's not completely baseless given she was touched by her Amata and her brother's feelings, which were exactly the same. She just informed the viewers that she knows Kagura "cares" about her. Quote:

I "Seem" to be? I thought I was blatantly pushing for them. Because as I said before. I am emotionally invested in the Apollo and Silvia Paring. When I first saw scans, I was prepared to ship Amata and Mikono--then I actually watched EVOL. I do not believe that Amata is the reincarnation of the solar wing. It's Kagura, therefor I am going to ship him with her until I see something that says he's not who I think he is. Because I ship them, no matter what they look like... Quote:
You realize, this is "spin" this is an opinion. YOURS. It's not a fact. We're only 6 episodes in. How can you be so sure? Especially when the brutish ape got a reaction out of the woman, that her savior did not... Kagura hasn't even had that much alone time with her but he sure made a bigger impact. EVOL's theme is "Forbidden Love" ...Love is no good, and Apollon and Sylvie are separated. Apollonius was originally the enemy. It's not that farfetched to assume is about Apollon trying to find Sylvie this time. That the beast is searching for his mate--especially since he will never forget her "scent"...something Amata hasn't mentioned not once. In the OS...Apollo always tracked Sylvia by her scent. Something Evol put heavy emphasis on in the premiere. He will always know her by "scent" You might think that Evol is about AmataxMikono but there is a really good chance that Amata is a romantic false lead, whose purpose is to keep two destined lovers apart. Seriously why is she getting married to him...Why is the prophecy about them being togehter. Why is it a "forbidden love"? Food for thought...(have you seen the original? I think it helps, if you have) Again, this is just an opinion but I believe I am justified for believing it. Based on what I know of the past, and what I see in EVOL |

One quote of the episode got me thinking...
Kagura: *to Amata* I can't smell anything from you... Suddenly...Amata could be the reincarnation of Aquarion's Spirit itself? The fact that Kagura essentially smells Elemental powers kinda plays into this... |

Not to derail this any further (if that's even possible), but can we maybe define this whole "main" character thing?
Typically stories that have either a singular 'main character' the story stays with throughout, or it swaps between multiple viewpoint 'characters'. Saying a story can have many main characters is like saying a story can have multiple protagonists. It's sort of meaningless to the origins of the word. Saying a story can have a main character who is not the protagonist when the two words mean pretty much the same thing is equally odd. I will agree stores can have multiple characters and spend time looking out at the world from each of their viewpoints... but each character isn't really the main character, per se. They're just characters at that point. I agree the main character does not have to be the hero... he can be a narrator or sidekick type role. Minor nitpick, sorry. //EDIT: Added 'viewpoint' to the second sentence for clarity. I spell it out better later in the post, but felt it was better to clarify.
