Comment on Elegant Milla Maxwell Figure by Tere:

“Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

He or she will be the primary POV character that brings a sense of continuity to events. No matter who they pick, it’s always going to leave a significant number of characters relegated to the background or minor status. Try to “spread the story”, and it …

  So what fighting game anime would those be, anyway? Keep in mind that they’ll need more than cool fight scenes.

  Obsess much? Two (official) posts from you, both about this swimming anime, neither in articles about said anime. For someone that’s so disgusted, you sure do seem fixated on it.

  10,028 more. Plus Last Order, who isn’t technically counted in the “official” numbers. And it’s important because this clone was the first to show a distinctly separate personality from the others. She was sarcastic, argumentative, and had opinions.
