So again, I haven't seen how things play out in the manga but I'm kind of amused to see people actually complaining about how fucked up Roberta is physically by the end of it, and apparently in the manga she's mostly fine. I don't know... I mean yeah, people in BL survive stuff that they shouldn't all the time, it's kind of part of the charm of the series for me but leaving a lasting impact on a character is fitting considering the whole arc. I suppose I'm just amused cause people are trying to say that MadHouse did it to destroy Roberta's character so she can't return later. Whereas I took it more to be she's now forced to find some peace.
Then I see people bitching about Rock's adventure into the dark and how it's so OOC. I guess I'm kind of amused because it really does make me wonder if a lot of folks assume people are simply one way always and forever. Maybe I just understood things differently but I kind of more or less took it for Rock taking some time on the other side to attempt to achieve what he couldn't by merely staying in the middle. I mean, half the reason he's so morose by the end of it is because even that little escapade didn't change things in a concrete way. For me it fits the character and setting just fine.
