Digimon (any season, lol)
The first character you loved:
In Digimon? Oh, Matt. For sure. XD He was, like, my gateway into the lone wolf rival trope, and I have never looked back, lol. I love this kid so much, and heās grown up so well. I donāt show him nearly enough love on this blog, but heāll always be my favorite. (Iāve loved him so long I honestly donāt even know what else to say, so, moving on... XD)
Honestly, for Dice, Camera, Action, despite the fact that it took quite a while for Nate to really get comfortable as a player, Iād still have to say Paultin. During the first, oh, season and a half, I enjoyed the show well enough, but it was more a way to pass the time at work than something I was really invested in. Once Paultin started to develop, though, I was all in, and now I really love all four of the main cast. His blossoming gave me a higher appreciation for everyone else.
And with Haikyuu, it was Kageyama. Come on, man, by the time I started this show, I was very, very well aware of my type, and there he was in all his grumpy faced glory. XD I love that once you get to know him better, going back and watching the first few episodes is so different. He initially seems real harsh and mean, but in reality heās just very blunt and awkward. And I love it, lol. Guy seriously needs to learn some proper social skills, though, haha.
The character you never expected to love so much:
It took me a second to think of an answer for Digimon, but once I thought of it, it was so obvious Iām shocked he didnāt spring to mind immediately: Impmon. Wow. This little guy. I was not his biggest fan when I first started watching Tamers. I thought he was annoying. But the more I saw, the more I started really enjoying his character, and now, admittedly, he is my number one reason for revisiting that season. The rest of the cast ultimately fell kinda flat in comparison for me, but Impmonās story is just great. I love this little guy.
Ok. DCA. The answer to this one may be a bit surprising in some ways, but... Omin. Now, I have tried listening to/watching other DnD shows, and, frankly, I have actually enjoyed very, very few of them. Acq Inc included. The crossover episodes with Strix were ok, but aside from her I mostly just liked Viari, so... I canāt say I was really super into Omin guest starring on DCA. But... he actually fit really well with the main cast? Like, surprisingly so? He was a pillar of stability that they are sorely lacking, and it was refreshing. But he was also just plain amusing. So. Yeah. That surprised me!
Oh gosh, in Haikyuu, Tsukishima, definitely. XD I mean, donāt get me wrong, I tend to enjoy snarky jerks like that, but he was just down right mean at first, and as it was mostly being directed at Kageyama... lol Yeah, I didnāt hate him, but, I canāt say I liked him either. But then, as my sister and I like to put it, he becameĀ āourā/Karasunoās jerk - yes he still pisses off the Karasuno bunch sometimes, but since officially joining them, he is now an even bigger jerk to opponents. And itās so much easier to love him when heās intimidating the other team. XD And once he got his awesome development against Shiratorizawa? SOLD.
The character you relate to the most:
Itās a boring answer, but from Digimon itās Matt, lol. Personality-wise we can be very similar, which is probably why I enjoy so many other ārivalā characters. He likes to stop and think of which answer is best, but he is also a bit hot headed and can say things he doesnāt really mean without thinking. Heās very loyal, but heās not good at expressing that in words. He can also be very hard on himself. ...I can relate. XD
Boring answer #2: in Dice, Camera, Action, itās Paultin, lol. Now, I actually donāt drink at all, so donāt worry, Iām not a raging alcoholic! But thereās been a lot of stuff happening lately that really highlights how similar we can be in certain ways. For one, Paultin internalizes a lot, and when it comes out, it comes out in lots of words and with an attitude that could easily come across as harsh. Heās a pretty sarcastic guy. He also is a fairly selfish character, but he does care about his friends and really tries to do right by them. And he looks around him and sees amazing people doing amazing things, and then he looks at himself and canāt see how he possibly could compare or fit in. (Ep 93 hit me hard, guys... ^_^;; )
Surprise twist! You might think my choice for Haikyuu would be Kageyama, but itās not! Itās Yamaguchi! lol Heās a guy thatās in the background, a bit shy, and a bit of a nervous wreck at times, lol. Heās not the best at anything, but he finds something he wants to be good at and works at it. He wants to be helpful, and he wants to win, but heās not good enough to do it in the same way everyone else does. So he finds his own way.
The character youād slap:
This wouldnāt have been my answer when I was younger, but when I went back through Digimon 02 a couple years ago, man, I really wanted to slap BlackWarGreymon. XD Luckily he does essentially get a super strong digimon equivalent that breaks him out of his funk, so I guess thatās nice, haha. But wow, his super emo inner turmoil was way more super emo than I remembered it. XD
Iām... Iām sorry, but in DCA, itās Strix. I love her, ok! I love all the main four! But... man... she really needs something right now to get her to reign in that reckless streak. She has made a LOT of terrible decisions lately, and I want her to realize this. It would help out the group as a whole so much...
In Haikyuu. Oh, that oneās easy: Oikawa. Because itād be fun. XD
Three favorite characters (in order of preference):
Paultin, Evelyn, Simon (I love this little robot ok donāt judge me XD)
Kageyama, Nishinoya, Tanaka
A character you liked at first but donāt anymore:
Hm, from Digimon I guess Iāll say Henry. I donāt know if it really counts, but when I first saw clips with Jen from the Japanese raws, I just kind of assumed heād be my favorite. Yeah, heās not. XD So I think itās more a matter of I expected to like him more than I ultimately did.
In DCA... no one...? I suppose I could say Miranda, but thatās a pretty mild change. While I never disliked her, I wasnāt her biggest fan, but I did find it interesting how she actually pushed back against Paultin who can come across as fairly abrasive. But in the end Iām just sort ofĀ āmehā about her overall.
As for Haikyuu - no one. Literally no one. I love all my boys and you canāt stop me!!
Eveltin... and that is literally it XD
Daichi/Yui... and that is also literally it XD
...that took a really long time, and I did quite enjoy it, but now my brain is mush, so if you see this and feel like rambling about some of your current interests, please feel free to consider this a tag! XD Thanks! ^_^
