| I just find it unusual that characters get all sentimental when they hear about their deceased or never seen relatives, usually parents. Is this normal in Jap or something? |
| "What could have been" is usually more powerful than "how it actually was." |
 |
| bad sloppy writing, thats how .... also the japs have a big fixation on themes such as life and death , you can see that in almost all anime there are occurrences of this theme, it's part of there culture so i wouldn't be surprised if they do justice for a death reaction scene. |

tanteiRE said: "What could have been" is usually more powerful than "how it actually was." This basically. They all get "Why can't I have parents/brothers/sisters or whatever". I'd say its actually pretty realistic. |

| Examples? Because I'm coming up blank. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| Ultear from Fairy Tail is the only one that comes to mind at the moment.. |
|
| Well, not affectionate. More obsessive. |
|
| What anime are you talking about? |

| I wasn't referring to any anime specifically, but if you want examples: Garo Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria Somewhat HxH Kill la Kill It's generally that scene where the protagonist goes to defeat the villain and he does some illusion bullshit or starts spouting prospects of learning about their parents. |
| I find that bad writing. I can't imagine that I would get emotionally attached to someone I never met, even if that is a parent. The Japanese culture might be different, but I don't think even they'll get attached to their deceased relatives if they never met that relative. As sadpwner said, I'll talk a little about Garo, since it touches that subject(and that that's anime I know that does this). Note: Don't read if you haven't seen the show. |

How can you possibly be attached to someone you never met? On the other hand, feeling sentimental towards them is a whole other case.. |

| Because it's Anime. |
