Ajunky said: I wouldn't say hate, but I definitely don't like her... or most characters for all that matter.
The problem is that the character development feels like character decay, at least to me.
Starting with Saito, he wasn't anywhere as perverted as he is now in the first season, but starting on the second it was as if his other head took over permanently.
Siesta was also very different, and would not even think about interfering with other people's relationships. Then she would go after Saito, but only as long as he wasn't in love with Louise, which she even said. Then after realizing Saito's feeling she rationalized it and said Louise didn't deserve his love and she would win him over. Then as Saito and Louise's relationship got more serious she decided she would settle for being just a lover... Basically she has become more obsessive with time.
Henrietta was at first very fond and loyal to Louise, but with the jealousy continually growing she ended too going after Saito, just for comfort, even if it meant ending her relationship with Louise... Oh but she wants everything, not just Saito but also Louise's friendship despite doing her best to steal her boyfriend.
Then there is Tabatha... god, WTH. A stoic going completely gaga for Saito... So loyal before, but afterwards she also wouldn't give a rat's ass about Louise. At least she hasn't lost respect for Saito's own feelings, even helping them make up for "his happiness" which the rest of the harem seems to have lost sight of.
And ultimately Tiffa too, though devoid of any malicious intent towards Louise, she's still just follow her horny instincts without thinking of the consequences... To her defense, she never had much of a brain to begin with, it's still nothing to praise.
I also find it ironic that the show's "slut", Kirche, moved on long ago while the rest of the girls have become probably sluttier than her in their attempt to get Saito. She's also one of the few to actually respect Louise, hell, I'd say she's her true best friend.
So Kirche aside, a lot of characters have "developed" into worse versions of themselves, it makes me almost glad that Louise hasn't progressed much... or actually nothing at all since the end of season II.
Anyway, I think this rant is about to get off course, so I'll just say that I'm really disappointed with the overall character development, not just Henrietta's.
Yep, I agree. Kirche and other supporting characters are the only likable characters with progressive development, sort of makes sense. Saito and his harem's development didn't even make sense. They all start out good and likable then by the 3rd season they all become horny, perverted, and overly-attached to Saito, Makoto version 2.it's as if their brains were suddenly replaced by their genitals -.-
i don't hate Henrietta. I hate the writing that randomly turned her into a bitch. |
