I'd still like to write it up one of these days, but I've already committed myself to my rewatch of Twelve Kingdoms and Azumanga Daioh, and writing them up on an episode-by-episode basis. The latest word count for episode 2 of each show has come up to about 2400 and 1100 words respectively ! I was originally going to add SDF Macross to those shows, but I would have to gouge my eyes out in that case .

Also, I think by now, everyone should consider calling any character "Mary Sue" as plain name-calling and should be looked down upon in the same way people label any girl as a "slu+/w#ore" just because they hate her.

While "flawed" characters can be very interesting, these flaws strike me more as qualities that we "ought not to enjoy, but secretly do." In that sense, I'd question the extent to which many of these "flawed characters" are actually flawed. If you genuinely disliked a character's traits, I'd expect that you'd be less likely to enjoy watching them. |

In terms of comparison, this is very akin to the arguments where a character is claimed to be bad (or good) because they fulfill the attributes of a particular archetype; whether this archetype is tsundere, loli, harem, or what have you. It's a tact that betrays an ignorance of what such classifications are and are not supposed to accomplish, and it's not something I'm fond of. Quote:
As for how genuinely flawed those traits are, I'd include just about everything imaginable: from racism to sexism to megalomania to murderous rage to willful ignorance to criminal activities of all kind. I find all of these traits abhorent in real life, but I'm a lot more open to them in fiction. What I find more important than the content of the flaws is the way the show treats them, and the kind of storytelling "moments of beauty" they make possible.

She is a great tsundere, has a phenomenal body (not that it counts since it's anime), and can simply be a lot of fun all around. Oh, and I love her hair color. It's...a realistic shade of pink.
And damn your avatar...I get lost in it.

In conclusion: Sheryl is perfect and my concept of the ideal girl is even more unrealistic.
