SwellSpinel said: I don’t think it’s a shift. She’s been idealistic since the beginning. She has but in this case I think it's mostly the lack of build up shown until she reached that intetion. I mean, yeah, they've lived near a demon village for not sure how long and I'm sure she got to understand a bit more about the demons but we the audience haven't.. Things like this can work (although persoanlly I'm not much of a fan of it.. it was the same in the manga but oh well) but it does mostly come down to execution and in that aspect the pacin's not helping at all. And the whole thing with trying the food really goes against the type of person she was set up to be. Same for Ray in this situation. |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| no shift at all. she never mentioned wanting to exterminate demons. |

| Lets be honest: If this show was realistic and if there was no plot armor most of the kids troop would be dead already. Emma risked their lifes so many times already for her own ideals. |
| It's weird because they removed 100 chapters of worldbuilding and character development tho when she said this in the manga, lotsa people were pissed off too, and she had far more reason to say this in manga than here Kbenicio said: AzNKrysis said: So she's gone from wanting nothing more than to protect her family by the end of season 1, to willingly sacrificing one of the children to eat an unknown species (that could've potentially been poisonous) between episodes 3 and 4, and now just suddenly wants to gather peace with the demons? What the hell? Did she completely forget the entire reason she gathered everyone to escape the farms? Did she completely forget seeing Connie's lifeless, cold body back in episode 1? You went through all this effort to protect your family and now you're gonna risk it all for the sake of living peacefully WITH the demons? Plus did she forget the whole reason WHY the world was split in two: the conflict between humans and demons forced them to live separately from one another. Wtf is she gonna do that humans didn't try in the past? She literally only met TWO demons that didn't want to try and kill them. It's been, what, a year at this point and you haven't met a single other demon like Sonju and Mujika? And yet you're basing your ideals of wanting to coexist peacefully with the demons just off of those two? 2 out of the hundreds upon possibly thousands of demons you've met does not justify the reasoning behind your plans. I'm not some professional statistics guy, but these numbers seem to give every reason to reject your hypothesis. It happened in the manga and was starting in this point that everything went downhill for me. Emma was so childish with this "demons have families too!" that she put everyone in danger and didnt even care because "killing demons is what bad people do" That's not the problem in manga, the problem in manga was that she did that, and then everyone pandered to her feelings and everything went according to Emma's wishes in the end with little to no consequences or loss. No level of suspension of disbelief could excuse this level of plot armor and talk no jutsu, and Emma became insufferable mary sue. It felt like it was like some kind of wish fulfilment delirious dream of hers. |

AzNKrysis said: Puhoi said: no shift at all. she never mentioned wanting to exterminate demons. It is a shift because she's constantly taking routes that's risking her family's lives. She went from willing to do whatever it took for their safety to now prioritizing her ideals. Mind you this entire shift in character was solely based on two demons that she'd only known for a couple days. On top of that, she's constantly putting the other children's lives at risk by taking a chance on an extra pair of hands to help gather resources in the demon town and sacrificing one of them to eat a potentially hazardous dish. maybe i wasn't clear. she has been the same idealistic, selfish, reckless character since the beginning; she never really changed. if it looks like a shift it might be because the anime skipped over 60 chapters. for me, her character is what stops this series from being a masterpiece. to add another thing, don't know if this was international on the creators' part, but emma looks quite distressed and even envious that norman accomplished so much more than she did. |
