Date: 28 February 2008 07:01 pm (UTC)For some reason, I thought you'd like Azula better than you seem to. Although I agree that she her villainy is a bit too flawless at present, I actually think that aspect of her character is part of what makes her so interesting. Unlike in many series, she doesn't seem to have the obvious Achilles Heel or readily apparent flaws that most antagonists do -- so I'm curious about what they'll do with her in the long run. Hopefully they'll manage to make her a more rounded character in the meantime.
I have to admit, though, one of the main reasons I like her is because she's just so damn cool. XD
Also, can I ask for another character?

3) For some weird reason, I totally identity with Anthy. I'm not entirely sure why, as a person I'm not much like her except for being quirky. But she's very human, very flawed in a way that I can totally relate with. And she's a witch AND a hanged man figure. So. She does grip me fairly emotionnaly, although she's not one to angst much.
4) The Utena fandom is wicked cool but alas pretty dead. Seriously awesome fandom full of cool, intelligent, pervy fandom. I like that it's got a pretty even male/female ratio too.
5) I'm intrigued by Anthy/Akio and squicked at the same time. I guess I like it because it is so squicky, yet such a fundamental part of their characters, of their interractions with each others. And, oh, the lovely mindfucks. I like Anthy's relationship with Utena but for some reason don't like it as a romance. I'm not sure why. I keep finding the idea of Anthy/Kozue very, very hot.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? NO.
7) If I knew Anthy in real life, I think I would probably hate her, or be extremely frustrated in her. She has a gift in bringing the worst in everyone (or at least that's her role in the series), and I don't think I'd still be able to show a noble core like Utena did XD
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites? YES! Totally. In the top 10.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom? I wouldn't say much but to watch her carefully, and not to assume too much about her. But I wouldn't want to spoil everything.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? I don't really know. She's got a few haters, and a few fans as well. An even balance I'd say.
