I guess you could argue that. I'm having a hard time justifying it though. Taiga's mean side is the fake side. It's a barrier of protection. That's Ami's REAL personality, which I find is difficult to make excuses for.

Maybe her career is forcing her to pretend to be nice, but that doesn't change the fact that her real personality is downright terrible. Maybe she's even lonely because of it, but that's because of who she really is. She wouldn't have to fake it if she was genuinely a nice person.

Anybody can recommend a good Sengoku Jidai manga/anime for me? I already have Inu Yasha and am following Vagabond and Oda Nobuna no Yabou.

Tried Shura no toki already, but the artwork is just meh.

You can't help who you are. She's cold because she has no one. At least Taiga has her father who cares for her and Ryuuji. There are moments she's being nice to Taiga and Ryuuji as well, so she's not always bad. It's just that she knows no one will like her if she lets people know who she is. She can't help it. Having to live a life every single day is not fun. I find Ami to be very sympathetic. Ami needs to fake who she is just to have friend while Taiga has people who care for her, but she keeps pushing them away. Those two are very opposite. While I don't hate Taiga, I like Ami's character much better.

You can help who you are. If you're a sh*t person, you can be better. You can be better without faking who you are. If you sincerely want to be a better person, you can do it. Human nature is cruel, but the separation between humans and animals is that we can fight nature, and we can choose who we want to be.

As for Taiga's father... I think that's a pretty awful example of a loving parent. Just saying.

The way I see it, everyone makes mistakes, Taiga's father tried to make up for it, it was Taiga herself who refused to open up to him.

I don't think we're ever gonna agree on Ami. I like her character, and I don't think she's being demonized more often than she should.

He tried too many times and lost his daughter's trust. It wasn't the first time he hurt her. Ryuuji wanted to trust him, but he was wrong. He wasn't a good parent. If you continuously say you're sorry for the same thing, it loses its meaning.

I can like her character while thinking she's a terrible person. Like Light Yagami from Death Note. I just don't think it changes the fact that she a terrible person. The reason I dislike her so much is because she's very well written for what she's intended to be. A jerk.

I pretty much agree with Logan on this. There is only so much sorry can do if a problem repeats. Even if the reason you do something is right or good to you, if its at the expense of others, you will be hated at some point.

Yep I have to agree too. Not to mention that when Taiga's father did come back, it wasn't the first time as Minorin mentioned. He had done the exact same thing to her the previous year. He would only 'reach out' to her when it was convenient for him, dumping her the moment things got too hard. It must have taken a lot for Taiga to let him into her life again, meaning it would have hurt twice as hard when he left again, even when she shrugged it off she was hurting. A good parent wouldn't want their child to experience those kind of feelings, least of all caused by them.

I also wasn't very fond of Ami either, tbh. As stated earlier in the thread, Taiga is on the offense to protect herself because she has trouble dealing with the issues she faces. I also think some of the things she does to Ryuuji as a form of affection in a way, similarly to the way you might ruffle someone's hair. In my opinion it's a particular level of understanding that they share. I don't doubt that perhaps Ami puts on her airhead routine because she has her own issues (confidence etc), but to me it seems more selfish, manipulation rather than sincerely wanting to be liked. Her actual personality I found her to be quite mean. Her words and actions could be rather personal at times, obviously hitting where it hurts. She got better though as her understanding of social circles and relationships grew and I liked her more during those times.

I would prolly look so appallingly bad in that outfit trying to dance that thing that even PETA would nail me with a whaling harpoon.

I may be downright crazy sometimes, but I'm not suicidal!

Hold some cute girls at gunpoint and get them to do it then. Or become a drama clubleader/teacher, then you can force them to do it.

*Tobirama walks up to Madara*
"Not everyone likes you"

And that kids is how evil starts

Tobirama's stricken me as being stuck in past as far as clan relationships go, really.

If Tobirama really wanted to be an d!ck to them there were a number of options available besides make them the police. All he did was say that Madara was untrustworthy because of his crazy eyes and crazy actions, which is completely correct.

Now inventing zombies, on the other hand... how does the thought even enter one's head? How does that gel with the non-zombie-obsessed guy we see here? How could it be so easy to invent such a jutsu? How does one go about it at all?

"The Uchiha are dangerous, therefore I must create zombies."

I already know what is going to happen, but Kishi is doing everything in his power to make it a fun read to that awful ending.

So there.

These are some interesting flashbacks going on in Naruto right now. Characters like Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara needed more exposure.

Silly...somewhat. Boring...no. Now Kabuto's flashback journey? THAT was boring.

Kabuto flashback was boring and just awful.

This love story between Hashirama and Madara is a bit better, but that is really not saying much.

So pretty much all of the shows I am concurrently watching are done or nearing done, and I'll give my limited review and ranking on each I think, well of the four I'm watching the last of right now.

But first, in Anime news/image I found that matters to me and isn't in anyway big three related.

Image IPB REallly reeaaaly hoping this is true, fingers crossed.

So far here is a confirmed lineup for the spring/summer, missing from the list is shows with run on's and S2s (or 3's even) Such as Hayate, High School DXD, Senki Zesshou Symphogear 2, and there are countless more rumors THOUGH likely fall/winter releases such as Little Busters, continuation of Fairy Tail, and Sankarea, among a number of others.. I will update as I know more or a full list is formed.

Image IPB

From this list I suspect I will watch, Blood Lad, Fate/ (maybe), Rozen Maiden S3, Monogatari, and tokurei sochi. All the rest minus a couple I will at least watch the first ep for, see whats what.

Will post reviews later for the new aired shows I watched this Season.
