And that's something I like about this series, mainly because I find the characters interesting. The angst lately has been overdone, and I wish we'd go to a proper action arc soon, but I'm still enjoying the series. I think a lot of the frustration for a lot of people is the issue of whether or not Yuji's character is consistently drawn (on that, I can see the complaint, but at the end, I'm okay for the most part with the writers here), and whether or not there's been *progress* in the plot--i.e. have Shana and Yuji advanced to the obvious end point of being a real "couple." I'll be horribly disappointed if we don't *eventually* get there, but because I don't expect the series to consistently move in a progressive and linear fashion, because of its ferocious focus on characterization, I think that makes me a lot more patient with the pacing. But I think I can understand the complaints. To each their own, I suppose. |

Also in regards to them all getting over the Konoe issue, isn't it kinda a sudden fix. Wow they had a laugh with her and Margery gave Yoshida a one liner and now suddenly everything is great again. Lets just forget all that un-naturally high jealousy for the last few episodes shall we?

I'm not really a Yuji defender but I just find that although we've gotten insight into Yuji from his actions like you said, actions alone can still be deceiving... unless we get some sort of soliloquy ( or something like a dream sequence or anything that shows what exactly he's thinking) concluding that he's incosistent is over pushing the boundaries. Quote:
Also considering they've built Yoshida and Shana's relationship over 2 ep, (which at first I thought was too long) I've finally realised that it's to justify Shana's acceptance of Yoshida advice (despite it coming from a secondary source). The trust Shana and Yoshida built up over there angst of YujixKonoe, was explained this ep and should make everyone wonder whether all the other supposed inconsistencies will have a certain reason behind them.

I don't think the anime is justified if you got that info from another source; a work should be able to stand up on its own merits. If the anime makes it seem too long, it's too long. |

I don't know about you, but a character without any secrets or at least a few skeletons in their closets would be quite dull. Quote:
Similarly with Shana, considering that she probably spends the most time with Yuji out of everyone (morning and night practice training, school, tomogura hunting ect) the time Konoe takes up is miniscule compared to how much time Shana actually spends with Yuji throughout the day. Also if indeed Shana was disturbed by Yuji spending too much time with Konoe, I doubt not showing up for training helps, as now she spends even less time with Yuji. Unless you label that factor as incosistent also, it's probably just a misunderstanding on Yoshida's and Shana's part thinking that Yuji had a romantic relationship with Konoe.

Yuji guy is portrayed as being rather quick on his feet suddenly in S2 is thick as two planks just coz the subjects are people who fancy him. The tomagura have got it all wrong, instead of trying to kill him straight off they should fancy him first as then that would dull his senses... (ofc Konoe could be that exact plan )

well, judging from that entire reversal in the last Shana-tan featuring Hecate (how exactly was it that despite Hecate being the one blushing and moaning while sitting on top of Yuji in the main series, Yuji ended up being the pervert? 0_o) I'm betting a Shana-tan special will have Yuji acting like Frigane, and Konoe's going to be his own personal Marianne.

If you've been reading all these threads, you'd know the answer is yes, there are a lot of people who are tired of this stuff. Luckily, the Konoe focus is over for the time being. And the next time there is focus on her, there'd probably be alot more action to it.

anywho, I'd tell you to stop watching if you don't like it, but episode 8 seems to be getting to the action some viewers have been craving, so maybe you'll want to keep watching. *shrug* Last edited by ashlay; 2007-11-16 at 01:42. |

Oh the dream clown, gosh I've forgotten all about her, I thought she had got beaten. To be honest the last few episodes of Yuji denseness has kinda overwhelmed me with this series. I hoping that hopefully they have gotten the whole Konoe makes everyone stupid or jealous thing out of the way and the story will move on and my interest will pick up.

Well, let's have a cooking contest between Chigusa and Kazumi!
Quote:
I was kind of hoping that Shana will give something else as bento to Yuji, like egg and breads since she took some cooking leason with Chigusa. The cooking leason was stopped after Shana is pisssed up. Since she is now happy again, hopefully she can resume cooking leason with Chigusa. About whether Fumina is Hecate or not, can Shana fly to temporary residence of Bal Masque just to check whether Hecate is still at there or not? If Hecate is not at there, it just rises the possiblity of Fumina being Hecate.
