fushigi yuugi genbu kaiden ending
29 Mar 2013 12:59 pmAfter many long years, Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden finally drawn to an end.
I guess at least we should admire Watase Yuu for sticking to her guns even until the end. Takiko and Rimudo had the ending they were always said to have in the original...and poor Tomite and Hikitsu volunteering to stay behind.
Unfortunately it just increases the bitterness when one thinks about how annoying Miaka was compared to Takiko...although at the same time it goes to show how much the Seishi admired their Miko, to the extent of spending 200 years just waiting forshit things to happen.
I can't believe Rimudo actually reigned for 100 years. That means he lived for like 118 years or something! What the heck!
As much as I like Rimudo, I feel Watase Yuu's main characters are still weaker compared to her side characters. Again, as in the Suzaku and Seiyuu groups, the other Seishi all had a more distinctive character than the main guy. For example even now I can remember what the personalities of Nuriko and Suboshi and Amiboshi and Hotohori were like, but if you asked me to give a good description of Rimudo, I can't. He's just the generic Watase Yuu main guy - generically protective, generically caring, generically enigmatic. Maybe that's why I didn't feel too sorry for him in the end....
I'm getting old...getting to the age where I can't bear to read sad stories any more <-- person who is currently 64 pages into writing a horribly depressing story should just shut up.
I like happy endings, but I don't like happy endings stretched out beyond the lifespan of the character...I don't think of it as happy ending. It's different for the author, the imagination for your own character is endless, but I try to take the story as what is written...and if they died before a happy ending is reached, it is the end. A passing promise of meeting in another life is something...I can't consider as a happy ending.
I'm not sure I can really bear to read the Byakko story if there ever is one.
