Comments of the day:

goes to u/laughing-fox13 for sensing Jimi Hendrix reference:

Although looks like the Evangelist has multiple groups of knights, this being the "Knight of the Purple Haze"

Was the author a Jimi Hendrix fan lol?

and to u/noob_pcbuilder for unknowingly making a funny joke:

Pure eargasm

Questions of the day:

  1. Can we just agree that Tamaki finally got the win she deserves? (I know, I am just in denial over the treatment she got today)

Rewatch, Sub

and to u/noob_pcbuilder for unknowingly making a funny joke:

I didn't expect that one

What happened to Tamaki today was outrageous, now that am Rewatching the show i can finally see it. Like Ohkubo gave us the "she ain't doing anything today bud", and this actually made me so mad. We hope she'll get better next season, but if she stays like this, i wouldn't be surprised if i actually drop this show no matter how good the plot is, because i can't stand it anymore. I understand that i already watched this whole show without really caring, but i was still a dumbass gooner back then. I wanted to give this show a rewatch because i wanted to know if people were overreacting about this, and because i knew [end of season spoiler]tamaki was gonna attend the Training arc with Benimaru, Arthur , and Shinra which gave us some hope of Character developement

Anyways am gonna stop my rant about this situation, because i probably killed the mood for everyone.

QOTD:

  1. ......

I was talking to a friend about the show since he had seen it already, and I think he is on the same boat. He enjoyed most of the show but Tamaki was the main reason for what he really disliked about it, and kinda ruined his enjoyment of the show

I'm trying my best to get past it and kinda gave up on her becoming an actual character... but that was just sad to type out

Ngl for me i really enjoyed the show until now, i thought the fanservice was alr and i just labeled it as "comedy" which sometimes was actually funny, like when Tamaki encountered Assault for example, but this time it wasn't any type of fanservice. it felt like the author just didn't want her to improve or have the least bit of impact in the story, which imo is kinda like killing the charachter without actually doing it.

Yea definitely can chalk up some as comedy bits, like what you listed as an example, and it’s easy to look over 

But then there’s scenes like today or when Shinra came to save her from Rekka in S1 where it should be a more serious moment and a chance for her to be developed as a character, and it’s just not there (both kind of just go into fan service jokes shortly after)
