I just watched Ultra Maniac

so, I just watched Ultra Maniac and I must admit it was pretty good!

I definitely don't see people talk about it as much as other shoujo or magical girl shows.

I'd say it is a 8/10

// oooh sure sure sure. First off hi hello <: Question for the meme: How would you prefer Xiao to be characterized in T5 & T6?

♡ out of character ! ⸻ hello there ! it's so nice to meet you I love your lars ! to keep me from ranting, I essentially want her to progress from her TK3 & 4 days, not the ridiculously naive & stereotypically tsundere obsession with jin that came from the god awful portrayals of TK 5 & 6. now this is no attack on xiaoyu's innocence, as I think it's an important part of her character to want the best in all situations, but there's a fine line of being optimistic & being obscenely naive. I can understand her contemplating the tragedy of the mishima lineage, as it really is sad, but why can't she simply put forth more effort to reason with jin & company to do different out of the notion of trying to change the cycle of family violence versus trying to fund ... a time machine. that's my biggest beef w/ 5, as well as this being the game where she suddenly becomes really childish ( what happened to the xiao who beat down heihachi in her 3 ending because she wasn't getting her amusement park after all ? I'm here for quirks and such but the infantilization gets a bit too much ) ???. also .... the jin thing. as someone who has the worst aversion to the clingy - unrequitted love trope, seeing xiaoyu suddenly become weirdly possessive of jin and being weird to his family in terms of considering herself his girlfriend is just ... big no. the notion that xiaoyu is going to so much effort to help jin and bring him off the dark ledges simply because of romantic love that's probably not canonly requitted is just a big no for me, as I focus on xiaoyu's desire to help jin out of pure friendship and care. does she have a slight crush on him ? of course, but it's not something she says aloud or fangirls about to the point of it being a universal fact, and certainly not to the point of having this made up claim on him. let it be known that before all else, xiaoyu sees jin as a friend, a good one at that who's really in need of another friend who's there for him because during this entire saga, he literally has no one else and that's so terrifying for her to even think of. she truly believes that he deserves better, and wants him to see that there can be better, to enjoy a life that is filled with happiness and love. so for the sake of my sanity, I just want her to show growth instead of regression in terms of that: let her be a bubbly girl without the negative connotations becoming reality.
