I didn't like Negima after it went to the magical world. And I liked StrikerS way more than I liked A's. Oh, and giving Madoka the grand prize? ... Japan, I am disappoint.

True, but that does not negate her skills with a giant warhammer.

Which in itself is another critic one might level against Force. |

She can also reduce Gigantform's size for more human-sized targets like she do with Zest and Garyuu and also have Rakketenform and regular form which are more manuverable than that "thing" xDU. Heck, Vita even do a short monologue about how unreliable their new weapons are xDU. Quote:

Season 1: Nanoha and Fate fight with a bunch of gundams and win, Precia self-offed herself xDU. A's: Free-for-All battle of all the Main Cast VS. Big Background Boss "Defense Program". StrikerS: Final battles everywhere massive asskickery in the case of almost everyone and supreme badassery from Vita while fighting an entire battleship worth of security. ...if anything i think it will be more like StrikerS due to the massive cast. I wonder if they'll use my idea of the heroes ganging up on the Huckebeins xD!

From a storytelling standpoint there was nothing wrong with Signum losing to Cypha. However people act like it's the worst thing to happen ever soley because they didn't like it. And then they try to act like it's some irrefutable flaw with the manga instead of just saying it's solely personal preference.

Making a competent main character seems to be tricky nowadays, because you see.. if the character is TOO competent (especially when it comes to girls) it ends up threatening the viewers. So, often they will try to "soften" the main character and make him more easier for the current generation of audience to relate to him. And for the better or worse, being a Japanese school boy is the easier way. The primary audience is still males, so: When they see a female main character, they see an IDOL. If they see a male character, they see a potential self-insert / avatar. Touma from what I've seen so far, lacks the elements that would make him easy to relate to the audience

Relatability in a character is a good idea, but its absence is hardly the reason people dislike characters. |

Indeed vast difference can be just as much an attraction to characters. It speaks to the imagination. Very few among us can say they've experienced what Fate went through, yet even so she is the most popular character in the franchise. Why? Because while most cannot know what it was like for Fate, we can all imagine. |

Far as I can tell, the highly-transparent, easily-relatable-to male protagonists you speak of Key Board, only really work for harem shows, given the relative lack of a social and love life most otaku have. Most other male protagonists in non-harem shows are far from relatable.

I may be blind to the steenghts of the manga but that doesen't mean you must be blind to the flaws. Quote:
Returning to her injuries. I think that if her injuries end up being permanent the most sensible thing Hayate can do is retire Signum from the force until a full cure is founded. Military is not nice with handicapped soldiers, and it'll be beyond irresponsible to let an injured Signum to fight, her body can fail her at any moment and if that happens at a critical moment it will be a burden to her comrades and the mission.

Sephiroth and Sasuke are EXTREMELY easy for teenagers to empathize with They relate with said characters' contempt for rules and authority. Especially the ones they are going through, "I want to be dark and edgy!" phase also see: http://en.dic.pixiv.net/a/Chuunibyou Judging from the way you pharse it, I'm pretty sure you've grown up with FF7. How many "Sephiroth is so cool! I want to be like him! The world is screwed up and needs to be punished" comments did you hear from your peers? Or maybe you were one of them? For me, I lost count. And they are trying to do this dark and edgy thing for Touma in Force too. It's just that he is not chuunibyou enough for now. What kind of chuunibyou with dark and egdy powers works with adults, much less ::GASP:: law enforcement? Unthinkable!

"yeah! life is so unfair, they don't understand them! The Huckebein are AWEZOMEEEE!! ...and Cypha is awesome cuz she pwned Signum ....YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" ...i'm scared of my younger self o_O! Quote:
Oh yeah, i forgot to ask. This hasn't to do much with the current debate but ...when that happened? I don't remember Fate getting almost "sliced appart", unless you're counting Erio's trump onver her in ViVid as that xDU.
