When it first aired, I thought the way they treated Harry and Asta's relationship in s2 was really cruel and shitty, but I didn't expect even worse. Destroying their bond, forcing a parental relationship along with the flanderized Harry and a mean af Asta, that all really sucked but it didn't ruin what they used to be.

Like never mentioning their bond or even using Sara and Alan in promotion despite being the leads that's weird and a choice, devaluing their bond into something else is a choice too, even Harry's sudden ooc 'I wish I could kill you' after his entire story being about saving her is ridiculous but retconning the crevasse into a sexual assault? For any reason is wtf but especially for laughs?

They fucking hate that relationship, they hate it so much and it's so visceral and for what? They can't even let them be friends, they can't even let them bond like normal people. If it's personal between the two they should just have the characters not interact at all at this point that would be preferable to whatever else they've come up with.
