Wow Amata. You were really show in a creepy light this week.
Stalking Mikono and listening to her private conversation with her friend. Instead of just having some balls and honesty and ask her about Kagura. It was extremelly disturbing and pathetic in a bad way. The most shoking is that Andy is encouraging him doing so. I had much more higher expectations for his common sense. i'm really disappointed. |

Zuul, did Amata kill your dog and set fire to his doghouse or something?
Also I find it amusing that you apparently "ship" Zessica with such a horrible, despicable (also, boring) human being. Do you even know what you're wishing for the poor girl? Surely, being into Zessica instead of Mikono wouldn't excuse such a disgusting behavior, to say nothing of all his other huge character flaws. |

I'm going to turn full yuri and have her with Mix from now on. I'm Chouchou. And I just don't like him looking like a desperate doormat. He really looks like an abandoned puppy and I don't really like that. He has shown to be reasonnably manly when piloting the aquarion, but whenever it's about Mikono he loses all his pride as a man it seems. Last edited by Zuul; 2012-04-16 at 11:37. |

Amata's behaviour in ep 16 made me facepalm.
Seriously, trying to screw destiny by buying shu shu groceries? Go talk with your girl if you're so concerned for her dammit. Also at the end of the episode where Zessica was terrified about almost killing her friends? AMATA IS STILL CONCERNED ABOUT MIKONO. I'd have to agree to whoever said that he was behaving like a love stuck teen. IMHO, Amata is pretty shallow in this respect. Someone pointed out that Amata was clingy to Mikono due to confidence issues/fear of abandonment/etc and I couldn't agree more. The 'naive wide-eye nice guy' was fun for the beginning but he needs to take his development elsewhere. The show has dried up his interactions with Mikono and it's time he tried a different fruit. Just not Mikono. I don't hate Amata or Mikono, I usually decide these kind of things for the end of a series, cause the show has still plenty of time to develop these characters. And to avoid some shipping arguments, I'd be fine if Amata/Zessica didn't happen. Just develop their relationship so Amata can grow to a more mature individual, is what I want.

By the way, he wasn't concerned about Mikono, he was mainly concerned about his own issues. He know what he wants - he has an idea how to get it - he doesn't know if he can do it and what he'd just seen didn't exactly boost his self-confidence. And anyway, what would you have him say? "No Zessica, you didn't do anything wrong by going against the rule Fudou set in stone and as a consequence almost blowing us all up, it's OK, I don't mind"? And I really don't understand why people are blaming Amata for not "noticing" Zessica. (Well, I do but I don't see the rationale.) You're under absolutely no obligation to someone just because they're in love with you, especially if you happen to love someone else. No-one "deserves" another person's attention and care just because they're in love with him/her. |

Oh god. Six episodes ago Zessica was comparing herself to Mikono. Now Amata's comparing himself to Kagura. Next Mykage's going to start comparing himself to Touma, and rainbows will shoot from my eyes!

And Kagura? He doesn't get enough screen time for proper development, the most we had was episode 15 and that was only half the episode, but this is for the Kagura thread, so I'm not going to elaborate. Quote:
And what would I have him say to Zessica? Words of comfort. Almost killing your friends is a far more pressing issue (and less immediate) than his love life. That said my complaint with Amata is that he still hasn't gotten proper character development. After 16 episodes, 99% of the time, anything that's on his head Mikono. I'd like it if he showed more concerned for others. Quote:
Even when there are more immediate matters that he should be concerned of. And trying to get in the way of two star-crossed lovers who waited for 12 000 years to get together is pretty dickish of him. (I actually don't count this as fate, more like a 12 000 year old promise.) He could learn a thing or two about Zessica's 'I want my beloved to be happy' Despite that, the series is doing a good job at keeping his character consistent. But his behaviour right now is just immature, and we've only got 10 episodes left for them to fix that. Last edited by theflyingturkey; 2012-04-18 at 03:16. |

And while it is relatively more serious, it's hardly an critical issue that requires immediate attention- Zessica is not a fragile girl that shatters at the first sign of depression. Quote:
(Both Mix and Yunoha got their issues settle relatively quick...) Quote:
So Mikono is on his mind whenever those things happen. Quote:

I second everything Chaos2Frozen said...

(All this, of course, is supposing that Kagura is the reincarnation of Apollon and Mikono is Sylphie. Which is not exactly set in stone at the moment.) |

Amata is willing to buy all that stuff to try to win over Mikono's pet but he can't offer any words of comfort to Zessica after she makes a passionate love confession to him? Quote:
Besides, even if you're right, how does Amata know this? Amata should have shown a bit more concern for Zessica in Episode 16, imo. I still think he's a pretty good male lead, but the guy can be single-minded to a fault.

Had he still been thinking about ShuShu at the end of the episode after all that had happen well... Quote:
We all have our crappy moments that we just can't put aside even if it is for other people, yes we know what is the right thing to do, but at that moment... ...Actually here's another thing- Why does it have to be Amata ?

Amata should still offer comfort for others regardless of how strong willed they are. Because it's the nice thing to do. Quote:
*bows head in defeat* Quote:
@Kuromitsu and Chaos for the star-crossed lovers thing. Let me rephrase that. Amata saw 2 lovers from 12 000 year before lovingly embracing each other before being forced to part ways because fate *cough*Kawamouri*cough* was trolling them. And right now, there is a very slight chance that Mikono and Kagura may be those star-crossed lovers. He should at the very least have some consideration for 2 souls who has been waiting for 12 000 years to reunite right? But that didn't even occur to him. I'm not trying to say that Amata should behave in my specified manner for the show to be 'better'. In fact, I've been giving the show nines and tens in the polls. (Because the execution was awesome) I am simply pointing out what I believe to be his character flaws. |
