| She's my favorite character of the whole show !! |
 |
| Yeah, she should stop coming back because of Yozora? Why? What Sena do that SHE have to stop coming? There is other members in club, should Sena stop befriend with them, because of Yozora? That's funny, only Yozora have big problem in this club. Sometimes I wonder why Kodaka is so stupid and don't tell Yozora to stop! Sena don't run away, she stay in club. I have hope Yozora stop be so mean, and she will understand what she done. Or she meet someone else who start bulling at her, and she will feel how is it! |

Sena could be friends with them outside the club if she wanted to. Btw, Yozora is powerless against Rika so there you go. |
| No. Yozora is god tier |
| tfw no gf tfw i keep getting the banhammer on here tfw Koleare keeps banning me every other day tfw I'm misunderstood by le mod |
| Actually, I think Yozora just wants Kodaka to herself. She only accepted Kobato because she was "his little sister"(no one can guess that though, ever. WINCEST WOOT). and I would say Sena is her biggest threat in the whole club, she wants to get back together with Kodaka again. Although some may say this is sweet, why the fuck make a club if your objective is not to make "a lot of friends" like you promised? I know she has problems with social gathering, this just make me dislike her more though, how inefficiently and not willing she is to corporate with other to get along. especially in the anime...... it's shown especially bad |

| Since someone mentioned Kuroneko, it's nice to also point out that behind Ruri's curtain of anti-social behaviour and abusive language she actually cares for her friends and family (and sacrifices a lot to keep her family stable). She's done plenty of favors and helped Kirino when in need even when saying otherwise. I don't think Yozora has ever done anything for anyone and when she has (like the snacks she brings for Maria) they are just bribes or with ulterior motives. |

| Actually i watch this show only for Yozora and funny moments, thats all. She is one of my favourite female characters ever~ i love how she is bullying Meat ♥ Its funny how many people just hate her. |

Alright, I will just say I hate Yozora because she psychologically assaults people like a bitch, while it's not amusing either. So it's settled, people mainly are entertained by Yozora or not, that is it. Or else they like her because of her looks. I guess Kobato's reactions are cute? I suppose Sena is more similar to some fans. I like her. I also dislike Yaoi, but Fujoshi can be repelling. |

| She's a shits load better than Ume from Ben-to |
| I like characters that are tough and abrasive like Yozora. But I never felt she was uncaring or heartless deep down. And I definitely don't believe that she dislikes Sena either, just like Kobato and Maria don't truly dislike each other. Yozora treats all people the same, the difference is only how each person handles it. It's just like how some people are easily offended by sarcasm, some handle it fine without taking offense, and others still can dish it right back. It's just personalities. Yozora has got a sort of prideful resentment towards being openly nice and friendly. Basically, since she was lonely and without friends, she just convinced herself that she didn't want friends anyway and that she resented all the traits they seemed to have and all the things they seem to do (aka, cognitive dissonance). She makes a point of acting like she believes this too, in order to convince others that she should be envied, not pitied. But she doesn't really feel this way. She's just stubbornly shy about showing weakness or imperfections. I think some people dislike her because she so stubbornly maintains her act. She never caves in to her emotions, but rather she keeps them bottled up. She acts only as she thinks she should act, not how she feels. So some people see her as a cold-hearted, uncaring, self-serving bitch. But I don't see it that way. She should be pitied, not disliked. She doesn't dislike the others. She's just putting on the tough girl act so that nobody will even think to give her the pity she deserves. |
| If you read the light novels, you'll come to like Yozora more because her character has more depth than Sena. As the story progresses, Yozora will (very) slowly defrost and show her true emotions more often while Sena just becomes more and more of a pervert (even more so than Rika). |

Otsdarva said: Yozora has continually been cruel to a multitude of characters. I'm surprised anyone likes her at all because poor restraint and hypocrisy aren't valued qualities. Shinji and Shu are stressful because of their archetype and stereotype. Yozora is disliked because her mash-up of archetype and personality. I only felt sympathy towards her once, and that was episode 1. She legitamizes bullying by doing it to Sena while she explicitly stated she hates it. Let's not forget about Maria on this one either. this kind of social cruelty makes her hard to be likable because what she is doing and what she says she wants are two different things. She want friends but refuse to be socially acceptable. She wants the neighbor's club to be active in public places but refuses to be around crowds. She wants cooperation but outright makes it impossible to get any from her. You see, these quirks just make her uncomfortable to watch. While some of her moments are actually teasing (the playful variant.) most often she is either giving Sena or Maria a hard time, or is backsiding any efforts for the neighbor's club activities. I don't like her for the above. People are free to like her. There isn't a problem. I just find her insufferable. Hopefully me going "I'm" and "Yozora" instead of "This" and "That is" helped with subjectivity. You pretty much say why i almost hate Yozora existence in the series.

I get it, and i know that the character type of Yozora you could like it or not, but i dont really "hate" or "dislike" the character, i think it's ok for the most part except for one tinny reason that really bothers me, she is the "childhood friend" I know that this show is like 90% comedy and 10% romance, but Yozora fails the 95% of that 10% and thats why i dislike Yozora. If she wasnt the main heroine i wouldn't care at all, but her character is really underdevelop, apart from creating the club, she does close to nothing as a character in the series just in the final episode they give us a legitimate reason to like her as a heroin wile the whole show is based on Sena and Kodaka getting closer to each other. But to me she fails as a heroine wile they make me like Sena in spite that i don really like "fan service" characters as main heroines. And dont bring the LN or manga here, this is for the anime series, if she really get any development on the possible 2 season we'll see that, but, based only in this 13 episodes i dont like her.

Yet if it's Yozora it's wrong but if it's full on sexual harassment that makes the younger character scared and makes Sena look like a complete paedophile it's okay? Some flawed logic you have there... I personally see full on paedophilia through sexual harassment a lot harsher than a few insults. uh, no. I am just stating the general census. their interaction give the fans a friendly feeling regarding to Sena rather than her trying to harm Kobato, which Yozora does apparently for fun, or so it't the impression it gives. Kobato's character is really designed to be cute, so everyone likes her. I guess Sena makes the fans feel the same way she does? Have you seen in animes where the girls grab each others' boob in the lockerroom? I suppose you can say Sena is like that to Kobato...... |

Of course, there are those who like bullies (or just bully characters), so it's natural she has some fans.  It's natural that most people can understand characters and not just blindly hate them. People liking "bully characters" is silly. |

ichigo03 said: The pool episode between Kodaka and Sena is important because not only does Sena begin to like Kodaka but she learns that she can't keep acting so arrogant towards other people. Kodaka tells her that it was HER FAULT those guys picked on her because she wouldn't stop acting so damn smug around them. BY NO MEANS is Sena a "Major Tsundere", she might hide some of her feelings (like most people do), but she doesn't hate Kodaka, she doesn't hit him for no reason, and for the most part she gets along with him very well. For example the episode where Kodaka stayed over at Sena's house, she wasn't complaining nor was she acting Tsundere by calling Kodaka a "Baka" or other nonsense. In fact in that episode we see Sena's development again, she might be rich and somewhat conceded but by inviting Kodaka over and wanting him to stay overnight, she is displaying more and more feelings of affection even if they are indirect. Tsundere's don't actually hate the guys, they just don't like telling the truth to them most of the time, and become embarrassed, which is Sena. Her obvious background of being rich makes her oblivious to "action" - she only uses her tongue to "hit" where it hurts, to males. More over, Sena likes Kodaka, so she wants him to stay, it's obvious, so duh - it's also obvious due to Kobato. I just don't see it as a "huge" development like everyone else does, she still acts like an "ojousama". Also, her deal with guys isn't the issue. It's with women. Which is why the first thing she says in the beginning is she wants friends that are girls. Nothing developed in that area, so I don't see it as such a big deal when her main goal is still the same. More over, I see a big debate coming with this Sena opinion I have, so I'll leave it off here, as I don't want to dislike Sena over pity debates, like most people do with other characters, due to fanbase. |
|
| See the last episode,you will see her in a different light. |
 |
| What I don't like about Yozora she doesn't even seem to try to change. She had it hard, okay, she has attachment issues, okay, that sucks. But that doesn't mean she has to stay this way for the rest of her life. She doesn't realize she won't get anywhere with her current behaviour but even thinks her behaviour is good. She is obviously doing something wrong, but naah, changing would mean going of my comfort zone, for example, suffer the crowd of people to the end because everyone is happy, I'll just destroy everyone's mood for my sake, thank you, or another example: being honestly nice. She wants friends. Sena obviously tries to be her friend. She even likes the, rather offensive, nickname 'meat' - and the only thing she gets in return is bullying. That she doesn't know how to treat people? Please. Sena runs out crying, even an idiot would conclude that's not a way to go, yet she does it again. And apparently, she did have a friend (hell, she even has an imaginary friend), why not just go the similar way as she did back then? Seriously, how is one supposed to get closer to her when she is determined to make one hate her? Also, she is in a Neighbours' Club. NO ONE has any friends there and barely had any before, not only her. No one has any similar behaviour to hers. Observing others a little maybe? But as I said, she's just not willing to do anything. First thing to do with most of psychological issues (attachment issues) is to admit it. If she wanted to change, she would. |
| Doesn't matter that Yozora doesn't "try" to change, the fact of the matter is that she IS changing regardless. Through this 12 episode span, there has definitely been an improvement in Yozora and Sena's relationship, and it is no where near hostile like it once was. The ones making arguments for Yozora should be fair and make equal ones for Sena. If Yozora is being stubborn about her petty-ness, Sena is being stubborn about dropping her snobbish attitude and slick tongue. Both of these girls has issues that need to solved, and they are both getting there. Sena gets a lot of unfair slack when she can be just as bitchy as Yozora. Yes people, making fun of someone's financial status cause you're rich and they're not is BAD. |
| Pew to much text. Didn't read it all ~ but I like Yozora therefore I'd say she's likeable ;3 I honestly don't get the whole fuss people tend to make over Sena & Kobato. Compared to them Yozora is a lot more original. She might be a bully and all but who isn't? Sena gets back at her whenever she has the chance to do so. And Kobato & Maria love to bully each other. I just run over this page and Bitterblue said something about Yozora not trying to change and how that's a bad point and all. . . . I believe all of them don't need to change at all. They only have to realise that, what they are doing is exactly what friends do => that they already are friends. Buuuut well it would be good for Yozora & Rika to become more social. |

In no way i expect a mayor development in this series, like say Ouran or Stains;Gate, but it's a little bit on all of this after all, that's i like the show in general. |

I'm confused about the "upperhand" response. One thing you don't like about her is for that reason? You would have liked it better if she had never met Kodaka? Or are you implying that, even though "she has the upper hand", she didn't have much interactions to "win"...? You know, that childhood friend thing can either go two ways, best friend or girlfriend. And as said before, even though she was his friend, Sena had more interactions with him this season,therefore, making it kinda even. Not to mention, he met her father. I believe next season(if made) will be fair game... So it's not much of a bid deal to dislike a character for. But, to each their own. GodlyKyon said: YOU ARE THINKING IT WRONG!!!! there is a huge difference between MEN and WOMEN, women can get away with just about anything.

I know if I was being talked to or touched like Kobato, even though it was a women, I'd have her ass in jail. I don't believe in that whole "women getting away with it more" nowadays thing, especially where I live. But it's all, just comes down to "comfort zone" and if other girls are fine with being sexually harassed by another woman, oh well. But I still say, despite me not taking the show seriously, and taking all the jokes in as humor only and nothing offensive, doesn't bother me and I laugh at it. But just to clarify that no one is innocent in this, had to be said. And with that, I hope we can drop this for now and more than likely talk about it again, if season 2 happens lol. |
|
| I wouldn't call it unlikable, but I just don't sympathize with her. She's always bullying Sena, at first I didn't really mind but then it got me really pissed. And she was the only one always saying: "Have any of you here made any friends?" And never stopped to think that they were already friends. Somehow saying those stuff she was making people incapable of even thinking about it. Last episode: |
| Yes, since as a character she could be called an antagonist because of confrontation she brings to the table by some but she could at the same time be called likeable by different people that can appreciate how antagonists can "stir the pot" or empathize with her self-defeating nature. |

RealScreamer said: Sery said: That's why i don't like Yozora, one thing is had the upper hand and other is being part of the scenery for the most part of the show and just at the very end almost split on Kodoka's face that she is her childhood friend. Srsly i would have enjoy Yozora if that would happened earlier in the series to let both of them interact more. In no way i expect a mayor development in this series, like say Ouran or Stains;Gate, but it's a little bit on all of this after all, that's i like the show in general. I'm confused about the "upperhand" response. One thing you don't like about her is for that reason? You would have liked it better if she had never met Kodaka? Or are you implying that, even though "she has the upper hand", she didn't have much interactions to "win"...? You know, that childhood friend thing can either go two ways, best friend or girlfriend. And as said before, even though she was his friend, Sena had more interactions with him this season,therefore, making it kinda even. Not to mention, he met her father. I believe next season(if made) will be fair game... So it's not much of a bid deal to dislike a character for. But, to each their own. GodlyKyon said: YOU ARE THINKING IT WRONG!!!! there is a huge difference between MEN and WOMEN, women can get away with just about anything. And usually it's a "friendly touch", nothing major(see Kodaka's reaction) No need for caps :X It wasn't implied for men only, it was for both genders, realistically speaking. I know if I was being talked to or touched like Kobato, even though it was a women, I'd have her ass in jail. I don't believe in that whole "women getting away with it more" nowadays thing, especially where I live. But it's all, just comes down to "comfort zone" and if other girls are fine with being sexually harassed by another woman, oh well. But I still say, despite me not taking the show seriously, and taking all the jokes in as humor only and nothing offensive, doesn't bother me and I laugh at it. But just to clarify that no one is innocent in this, had to be said. And with that, I hope we can drop this for now and more than likely talk about it again, if season 2 happens lol. Ok I suppose. But there are many cases where a man does something sexual to a younger person(student eg). The man gets punished to the point he's practically useless but on the other hand, women get away with it MUCH easier. Very sure that is how it is in japan recently. Last note: Yozora made me feel she's a barrier between the club and realizing they're friends already, that is not a good point to add for me as she's already a major bitch(maybe not Kirino level though). And now she cut her hair...,.. NOOOOO!!!!!!! |

tifaonacloud said: Finding her entertaining and finding her likable are completely different things. I find it hard anyone can find her attitude good or entreating. She's there to be a foil to Sena's role as the weak girl who wants friends. If we're to think it logically, the only one who actually want any friends in the whole series are Sena and Kodaka.RealScreamer said: More over, I see a big debate coming with this Sena opinion I have, so I'll leave it off here, as I don't want to dislike Sena over pity debates, like most people do with other characters, due to fanbase. I hear you on that. I essentially had the same thing happen to me over Sheryl Nome; went from mild amusement in the early episodes to slight apathy at her fall from grace to a deep seeded annoyance for the character post episode 18 on that's only recently subsided through the redo of the character in the movies and many years. Fandom's silly like that. Personally, Yozora's interactions with Sena were what made the show entertaining, so I can't find her anything but likeable. It's kind of sad how so many can't read through the lines and can only hate characters with obvious foibles. Seems a character has to be a practical Mary Sue just to be ok to "like". The girl doesn't know how to interact with others, making her amusing to watch since it's hard to take her over the top bullying seriously (she knows how to push buttons, not a bad thing), and she's kind of sad in her obvious loneliness, so I can relate. Though I'll admit I was starting to like Sena a bit more until around the Kobato incidents. That was a MAJOR buzz kill. It's meant to be in cute fun, but Kobato REALLY doesn't like it AT ALL; which takes a lot of the fun out of it, and just makes Sena creepy. She is a bit of a crybaby too, but whatever. I still like her for the eroge angle though. Episode 2 is still the funnest of the lot. Though i haven't watched the last two episodes yet. I agree what much of what you've said. Thanks for the insight. Reminds me a lot of all the hate threads on Mitsuki Hayase from Kiminozo years back. Another greatly misunderstood and reviled character just because she didn't follow the usual path of "sweet, all-loving, perfect heroine". Anyway I went on a tangent there but, as pure comedic foil Yozora does her job (and even exceeds it) but even if she's necessary for the series' flavor of comedy the viewer has no obligation to sympathize with her attitude. In fact, they do every step to try to get you to symphatize with the other members more than with Yozora. Just so happens some viewers like the sadistic "mean" characters hence why there's so many who disagree with the opinion she's unlikable. But if we were to judge it in a more real-life scenario where comedy has zero bearing, Yozora is the kind of person you would never want near you. Personally, I am not a fan of sadistic comedy and really cringe at bullying, even when done in jest. |

Personally, I am not a fan of sadistic comedy and really cringe at bullying, even when done in jest. Sense a bit of faulty generalization. You are generalizing a character is such as such because they behaved specifically to certain other characters. Sena absolutely craves Yozora's attention, and may appear earnest friend seeker, but on the flip side she doesn't give a damn about the other girls in her class. Her flaw is not weakness, but a total disregard for anyone she doesn't care about. According to Sena they are all bitches. Yozora is also a bitch except she's the bitch that Sena always pays attention to. Yozora is sadist towards Sena though she is an awkward recluse when it comes to her class mates. It appears she can talk to "people without friends". Sena wants Yozora's attention, I guess it's because other girls in real life never wanted to be involved with her. |

korn7809 said: Here is a question for all of you... Would you be able to hang out with her in real life? Liking her on a anime is much different then having to actually deal with her. She is a bitch. What does that matter? You'd never meet these characters in real life, at best you'd find people who have some similar personality traits. I can't imagining having an enjoyable time with half the characters I like from fictional stories. |

She is a bitch. now this is where it comes from. I think most of the fanbase thought of it this way and concluded that. And also, the Otakus would probably MUCH rather play eroge with a hot girl.

I can't imagining having an enjoyable time with half the characters I like from fictional stories. Too true, but it's more of how the series make you feel. If the series makes you feel it's POSSIBLE that the world in the series is your's, there is a way more likely chance to think that way. If not, Something like haruhi, You Would not really feel that way. (Which is probably why people hate Mikuru. I am sure most people would be like kyon if they were in teh same position, but it's hard to think the world you exist have A/E/TT in it, so they thought Mikuru was useless and annoying) BTW, great Sig, that twin brother is an asshole |

| Yes, she is an unlikeable character. |
 |
| All of them in real life except Kodaka/Kobato/Yukimura would be "bad to interact" with. Sena not being able to get along with girls and treating boys like slaves at school while being a rich pompous bitch would piss people off, Yozora for being too straightforward with her bitchness would also piss people off, Maria for being a little whiny brat and Rika for being a weird ass extreme pervert always getting off on things. Those girls would all be a pain to handle, they are all flawed - especially Rika, not even Yozora can shut her up.... In fact - if you all noticed, if you don't piss Yozora off and just talk to her about nothing "major", she seems like the most likeable - shown dealing with Maria. GodlyKyon said: Last note: Yozora made me feel she's a barrier between the club and realizing they're friends already, that is not a good point to add for me as she's already a major bitch(maybe not Kirino level though). And now she cut her hair...,.. NOOOOO!!!!!!! I have no idea how that's possible when she started the group, makes activities for the group, most of the time listens to what others want to do and last episode showed even with the cutting of her hair - being "holy shit" worthy - ('cause no female with long hair wants it to be cut), they're still carrying out the main objective. And so episode 12, to me - it looked like Yozora wasn't just in the club for Kodaka anymore - which is why she seemed to put a "barrier" when talking to him. It's not just friends with him now, it's everyone else and more which is why he isn't getting the "special privilege" to call her "Sora". But, it is your own feelings, so to each their own. also, don't understand the "realizing friends isn't a good point because she's a major bitch" - makes no sense, that doesn't have to deal with anything nor is it a good reason to hate the "realization of they're all friends deep down". I think it's rather funny how they're all looking for friends when in fact, they all found some pretty good ones, despite all their faults. On a off note - I like her hair short, doesn't really bother me. Makes her look "cool" - Though, the art of her with it, looks better in the Novel illustrations. Would be interesting to see Sena with short hair...can't really imagine it, lol. spankfestival said: I wish I got into this tread earlier. Do I like yozora? No. Is she an unlikabled character? I dont think so. Given enough time and interaction anyone can be liked. As it has been pointed out sena is liked even though she is as flawed as yozora and is given more screen time. |
|
| I like Yozora its Maria I can't stand god she is so annoying. Dx I know she is a kid, but still damn. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| The teasing in the rivalry between her and Sena is simply too one sided and a bit too overboard at times. This makes it come across as bullying which by itself is not the problem in my opinion. The problem arises from the impression given from her personality in the beginning. Judging from the main character's description of her in the first episode and her statement that she doesn't like bullying as well as the flashback of her defending him from bullies we are given the impression that she has a more noble character with a strong sense of justice. This first impression strongly clashes with the later perceived bullying and makes he seem hypocritical which is a generally negative trait. To me it honestly feels like Sena was originally going to be a stronger and more stuck up character, which would balance with Yozora, but decided to make her rather innocent right away rather than become that way through characterization leaving Yozora's character kinda out of place. This last part was just pure conjecture on my part as i don't have an ounce of proof. |
| All I can say is that she's my favorite character. |
 |
| I don't like Yozora. I honestly absolutely loathe her. And this is the first time I ever disliked a character so deeply. But I can understand and relate to her somewhat. Yes, I get that she's anti-social and doesn't know how to express her feelings to people. I can be rather difficult. Scratch that. I AM difficult and hard to befriend. We're similar but at the same time, not. Our mindset and the way we handle our inner issues are very different. Which is why I cannot bring myself to like her. Point is. I can understand Yozora and her problem but I just can't simply sympathies with her. She constantly takes things way too far. She's hypocritical and contradicts herself. She has an attitude problem. She's manipulative, obnoxious, and condescending. So what, her childhood best friend disappeared for 10 years. Big deal. Everyone had had a friend they haven't seen for years, maybe longer than that. And then she has the nerve to be irritated that said childhood friend didn't recognize her when she knew he always thought she was a boy. He's not going to go up to a beautiful long hair girl and say "OMG you look like a friend I knew back 10 years ago!" and she'll be like "OMG, you recognize me even if I'm a girl now! asllkafaajk I am that childhood friend! Let's make love!" and then everything'll be mwuh mwuah hankypanky again. Not to mention, he's already awkward himself! Anyway, topic. I found Yozora to be unlikable and unbearable to watch. I much prefer Sena cause while she was a b*tch herself and somewhat similar, just weaker, at least it felt like she was trying to actually make friends with everyone. Even if I'm not fond of either the two. (The only ones I actually liked to an extent were Kodaka and Kobato.) I would hate myself if I were to turn out like Yozora did. I can understand where she's coming from but I simply cannot sympathesize. As much as I want to, I just can't. |
| I have no problem with Yozora tbh |
 |
| This thread is a huge tl;dr so I'm just gonna say I think Yozora is the best character in the series and I personally don't like Meat all that much. |
 |
| The whole cast is sigh-worthy, since it's so unoriginal. Yozora firstly shows up to be the cool, dominant girl and then in the end they try to make it emotional over some stupid childhood that never felt like the main focus during the anime. |

| what Kumis said if she wasnt such a bitch to Sena id even like her |
lots of music -  |
