So, weird observation:

Are Ryuuji (ToraDora!)...


... Hachiman (My Teenage Romantic Comedy SNAFU)...


... and Kodaka (I don't have many friends)...


... really that similar? A friend (incidentally, one of the same guys who I watched the Eva marathon with) mentioned that they're basically the same character. I wanted to tell him "It's 3 AM, dude" before anything, but given that this loving heat has barely left me sleep, I decided that it would be a good idea to just humor him. 2 minutes later, he hung up and I was left having to boil some coffee.

So that was my early Monday morning.

I've only seen Toradora and SNAFU of those three, but I wouldn't agree they (Ryuji and Hachiman) are similar characters at all. I mean, they both have problems with social interaction and being (wilfully or not) oblivious, but that's more or less where the similarities end. For one thing, Ryuji's very much an optimist and Hachiman's very much the opposite. Ryuji's always trying to relate to others and understand them, whereas it takes Hachiman a long time to get around to attempting it. They might have broadly similar character arcs relating to attempting to get to know others, but I wouldn't necessarily say there's much else to compare.

Yeah, they all have some small similarities, but it barely scratches the surface on all three characters. I really liked Toradora and SNAFU, though, while the same cannot be honestly said of Haganai. There are two things I like about Haganai:

  • Yozora's voice actress work
  • Rika.


Rika is that show's sole saving grace. I was mostly wishing that my buddy would call me at a more appropriate time because holy poo poo, 3 AM is not a time of day I enjoy being awake for.

theyre the same character like ami, yukino, and yozora are the same char

5 episodes into Sound Of The Sky, and the show hasn't really misstepped yet. This might be on track to be the best Slice Of Life I've seen since K-On - not to compare the two too closely. The character dynamics, worldbuilding, atmopshere, and art design are all A+++++. Episode's 5 cold open on the simulated tank battle and the reveal of No-Man's Land at the end were both downright flawless.

Yeah, I don't think they're the same chars (even if some characters do share similarities across all 3 works). I was just asking if they seemed that similar, since according to my friend, "They're basically interchangeable". Which is bullshit of the highest order.
  • Hachiman has a ton of issues that relate to trying to connect with people, and at first his behavior make really hard to cheer for the guy. (If I don't misremember, the 1st season thread had the OP call him "A lovely, misogynistic D&D goon who constantly gets banned"). His development (especially in the 2nd season) is one of the series' strongest assets.
  • Ryuuji, as mentioned by goon smenj, is a very optimistic and friendly guy, so when he's dismissed early on as a delinquent based on his rough looks (to this day I still find that his "evil smiles" have a certain dorky charm to them), it wasn't all that difficult to cheer for the lad.
  • Kodaka seemingly has a lot of the same issues that plague Ryuuji and Hachiman, even if he's portrayed as far more conventionally attractive and slightly better adjusted than either of them. Even if he's a douchelord.

Seriously, that face is priceless :allears:

1. Agree
2. Agree in that he starts as a turd but over time becomes less turd-like and more precious.
3. Third guy is full-on turd. He likes turding it up. For a nickel.

Alice to Zouroku is pretty nice. Alice attempting to reason out complex philosophical questions through the vocabulary and experiences of a minor is really interesting and almost Descartesian. My thinking is that Alice has a very strong moral compass but she doesn't understand why that is, and want's to figure out a justification as to why her compass is correct. Basically it's not enough to just trust her instincts, she wants a reason to back them up.
