Takeoff31 said: Chiibi said: Episode 12 reveals she's not one dimensional though? The others in the squad don't exactly have a lot that we know about them either. If you're going to call Shinoa one dimensional, then everyone else is too, save Yuu and Mika. Mika is one dimensional he has nothing except muh Yuu Pretty sure you and I just watched completely different shows. Mika starts off as a cheerful child with a horrible past; he accepts his past and moves on to live with his new family. Suddenly, all the adult die and he is enslaved/livestock-ed by the vamps. He watches his family as they are stepped on and mistreated. Feeling rage, anger and a flood of other emotions, he decides to create a plan, using his witty-ness. Unfortunately, that plan fails, costing him the life of his family. He constantly blames himself for their death, but then he gets to live an eternal life, hence why he became more emo-like as he grew up. But once he remembers that Yu is still alive, his light re-ignites. He's overjoyed that at least one of his family members is living, therefore he becomes over protective. Then, he finds out that the humans are using Yu and were also using him and his family for their experiments. Leading up to this. He is a well developed character that is caught in between humans and vampires. He hates both of them, but he's also both of them. Although he hates humans, he DOES try to be friendly to the children that are being enslaved by the vampires(see episode 4). You say he's one dimensional, but that's simply because you haven't paid attention to him. ~.~ |

She seems alright if that the one you talking about. she's done it with a lot of guys, ehem "sex" the way she talks.... she's clearly implying it from episode 3.... even though she's adorable she's a big "no" for me... many guys may be into a lot of experienced girls, but "not" all guys... |

And give us reasons as to why she's easily the best when she's arguably there for one thing and is one dimensional than most characters in this show She is far from one dimensional, do you still don't know who she is except she is main heroine or muh love interest? do you even watch the show anymore after ep 7? "She's far from being one dimensional" she's literally the least developed character in the series. The anime doesn't even have the gall to try and give us insight to who she is and what she's all about. Stating her name and job doesn't count. It never does. She's literally been there for comic relief except it's over the top to the point of cringing and being a jackass. The moment where I thought she would give some other side of her personality when asked about her a sister she makes a joke out of that as well. "Do you even watch the episode after 7?" Oh please you act like she was developed from episodes 8-12... She wasn't lol. The bad thing is that she finally starts acting like an actual character towards the END of the anime. That's piss poor writing. Don't read the manga so I don't know how she's potrayed there but she was the worst character in the anime. Being cute and "moe" doesn't make a good character nor does solely being funny. She's a human version of Jar Jar Binks |

| So glad I'm not the only one that hates her. Everyone just seems to adore her. I feel like I'm missing something. |
| I could do without her, she is pretty boring. Would suck is she became the main love interest tbh. |
| Shes awesome character and very likeable in many ways |

bastek66 said: Shitaste. Only fujos hate her because she ruins their yaoi dreams  You are implying that her main role is to be a love interest... TheGrandSage23 said: Manga wise both Yuu and Mika and few characters are better characters than her. Her tongue and cheek humor doesn't fit the atmosphere and she barely contributes to the plot. Plus her having a scythe means jack in regards to character. Her relationship with Yuuichiro is "meh" to me wanting him to slap her. The chemistry isn't there and I know she's supposed to be a love interest but it's not working and the dialogue in the manga is heavy on shonen ai with Yuu and Mika As someone stated she's just there and that's a fail for a MC. Her know it all personality is similar to Holo except Holo was actually a well written and interesting character Just because she isn't a love interest she fails as Main Female Protagonist? -facepalm- Is there some rule that the main female protagonist NEEDS to be romantically involved with the male protagonist? She's a good character imo, and I understand that there is people who don't like her personality and that's ok. But from both sides, who likes her and hates her I see BOTH sides being jerks about reducing her as just a love interest. And the reason? "Because she's the main female character". Most of discussions here are using her potential as lover to MC by making comparisons with Mika potential, just so to define her value. Sounds like people only like or hate her because she fits the role of "the MC female love interest". All this discussion just reinforce for me why I don't want her as love interest. Feels like she being a love interest is gonna glue to her as her tag to make her a shadow instead of make her shine by the reasons I like her. I want her to shine without being a love interest, not only for who enjoys her character, but to prove for who hate her for being a love interest that she can shine even without being a love interest but because of her personality. But that's all on author hands, of course. |

| Making a character a love interest doesn't demean her character. Making her a damsel in distress would. |
|
| Well, I like romance so it's not "problematic" for me in the least bit. In fact, I don't wanna watch shows that don't have romance in them. That's boring for me. XD I don't think anyone called it "obligatory". I think it's "the most likely out of the rest of the cast IF there's a romantic subplot at all". Why? Because Shinoa gets the most screentime with Yuu, compared to Mitsuba. |

O_________o said: If you are gonna discuss if she is great or sucks, it shouldn't be because she is a love option. It should be for who she is. Her personality. That's certainly true. And I can say I honestly like everything about Shina. lol |
