I agree wiht fulsion that they did a pretty good job of drawing Mit, I still hate the guy and think him & his F group need to get the S kicked out of them. hey did u see in the intro how when masa's name comes up it's like he's trying to blow a kiss or something. What up wit dat ??? that's more of an Asshat Mitsuomi or move if you ask me??? the anime does take some sort of freedom with hair color though, Aya and Masa is brown, and the whole maya hair color?Fulsion wrote:Sorta OT but didn't they screw up Mitsuomi's hair colour in the anime (IIRC in the manga it's browny colour like Masataka's, maybe a bit lighter, in the anime it's Maya's silvery/light purply colour). That's a bit of a mistake IMHO...
! Although you should have done it at like Vol. 3 and every other 3 volumes i.e. Vol. 6 , 9, 12, etc 
I can understand your frustration regarding the potential for that kind of a development, but as for me, his very character itself just isn't subversive enough. Even with that kind of twist, he's still the type of guy who'll fight against a system in order to fix it and make it better. He's the type of guy who's not there to destroy it, nor does he project himself to me as someone who can at least pave the way for a new one to arise. Just compare him with Mitsuomi for instance--the guy practically threw his father out while Masataka takes him in. I just like characters who are more subversive for this kind of story and I can definitely associate myself more with the rebellious prick, as you'd like to put it, in this situation. I always try to keep a measure of detachment as much as possible however, so if I had it my way, Nagi (or at least the 'Nagi' as we know him) wouldn't be the main character here.LoneWolf wrote:Well, the story of TT on the whole is kind of scattered with everyone with their own sort of objectives, although the main thing right now, well up to Vol. 8 that I've read to, is to take down Mitsuomi and his company, to end this battle once and for all. Who fits better than Masataka, the younger brother who is kicked out along with his father to live somewhere else? Instead Masataka is protrayed to basically not care really, when Oh!Great could have done a bit more than just having Mitsuomi kicking the two of them out without any dialogue between the two brothers. (I mean by simply killing off his father that could have caused tension between them, since I don't see the father's purpose anymore other than train up Nagi, as I noticed when I flicked through Vol. 9&10. ) Masataka wouldn't really lack personality if Oh!Great had actaully given him a few scenes of his own so it could be built up Instead though all he's there to do is to get kicked, neglected, ignored, <insert other words here>. The bit that I actually thought something was going to happen with Masataka and Mitsuomi is when the meet at they bowling alley. The way that Mitsuomi knocks Masataka out and says something like 'You're not ready...you need to get stronger" hinted that they would challenge each other later on, after Masataka does some extensive training. However, apparently not. Or maybe its much later, when Mitsuomi has already been beaten by Nagi at least once or there is someone stronger than Mitsuomi and Nagi can't be bothered to fight Mitsuomi 'the small fry' Takayanagi.
In the end, nothing is better than a bit of sibling rivlary
Siblings trying to kick the crap outta each other > All others
However, in the end end I guess
Oh!Great > AllOtherOpinions
. Maybe a 2 polls, one for present and one for past. Masa is my fav on present and Tawara for past.
