I'll be honest here, despite what I said in the spoilers thread, that I'm in favor of the Tooru x Ohana pairing mainly because they're really interesting together. Also, there's been quite a few signs of him taking initiative, as .x.crii.x. mentioned before. The first time was when he asked her to help him out with the garbage when he didn't really need her in the first place. Also, his general attittude to tease her around and her reaction prolly makes her more interesting compared to anyone else *coughminkocough* and that's also what makes them more interesting as a pair.
Compare that with Ko, you would get a pretty intimate but overall not so interesting pair since Ko is generally very subtle and devious in his manner, and that's what had caused a lack of connection between them before. I'm in doubt that part of Ko would change anytime soon. So generally speaking, I find Tooru very interesting as a character compared to the others. He's got a badmouth, acts like a douche, but is a good douche nonetheless. I really liked him when he was giving Ohana the talk in the van, asking her if she really thought she was so amazing that she could do everything herself. Whether or not they end up together, I really liked it when he said that to her because it really helped her see just how she was trying too hard to rely on herself and overlooking the others. He contributed a lot to the main character as a whole. |

But lol I'm glad to see that a lot of people are somewhat leaning towards OhanaxTooru. I really hope Mari Okada likes to please fans (I got that feeling after episode 3...) since I think most of them ship that couple. |

Not me... I want my Ko and Ohana couple. It took a lot of guts for him to confess like that given his personality, but he still did. It'd be stupid for him to become irrelevant later when the story made an effort of keeping him important to Ohana, even when he could have faded away after she moved away from Tokyo.

I don't think confessing your love at the last minute when the girl you like is moving away can be considered a lot of guts. After all, he was planning on staying close to Ohana and letting her realize it on her own.
But yeah, I think you're right about Ko-chan being relevant. He'll probably appear later on in the future episodes. Ah, this post has nothing to do with the topic. Well, I'm going to have to change that. :P QUESTION!! : What was your first impression of Miyagishi Tooru-san?! Looks, personality, or all of the above? |

I think Mari-san probably has this plotted out all the way anyway, though, so I don't think it makes too much difference either way...

My impression:
Looks - "Omg, he's so hot. Totally my type. -drools over him-" Personality- "Hmm, hmmmm...he seems like the type to scold and act uncaring but in reality he's a huge softie on the inside." Above all- "Tooru, why are you so awesome, you? " xD;; EDIT: I don't really think TooruxOhana horrifies fans. From all the reviews and forums I've seen, about 80% of people support TxO. |

I'm definitely a Ohana/Ko shipper. I get the feeling that most fans want this too. I don't know how big of a deal having certain people staff a show for japanese people, but if people actively watch this because of Okada, then they'll probably expect it to end like True Tears, where the "right" couple ends up together.
my first impression was, "wow, paworks made a very good looking guy in this show. no homo."

When I saw Tooru in the opening, I was thinking "Hmm, he looks interesting... He's probably has that mean but soft personality that I love " I swear there's one in every anime. |

Also, exact parallelism between father and son isn't necessarily something to be lauded, nor does it really make any grand point in and of itself. Some in fact may call it lazy and/or predictable writing... Quote:

TT ended horribly and with the wrong pairing, as far as I'm concerned. However, that's an off-topic discussion for this thread, and hence I'll PM you about it.

TT was very different from this show, no matter which girl you liked - same writer or not. Romance was the raison d'etre of TT - it was a relationship show. It almost had to have some sort of definitive pairing or it wouldn't have had an ending. Here, romance is at best a side plot - at least for now - and perhaps will never become a significant part of the story. I hope people aren't too disappointed if it ends with no pairing at all. But if it does - I'm rooting for Ko...

You and everyone else watching. haha. which isn't to say Tooru is a bad character, but it wouldn't be proper. In fact, i like him as a character, as he as an ability to get people moving, so to speak.
What's funny about the reactions to TT is that it aired at the same time as Macross F, and we all know how that went down..
