Is Chi-Chi intended to be an unlikable character? Anonymous 2017-01-04 09:16:34 Post No. 151834663 [Report] [View this topic]

Of course one can also make a case for Bulma but she's at very least acknowledged as a genius while Chi-Chi has nothing once Z starts except maybe her cooking (maybe). I mean, the story never really suggests she's justified to ever be upset at Goku or her fate (even though there's a lot to be upset over and any other woman would handle things way worse). It's taken for granted she's the wife and mother, and the "shrew" wife and mother at that. That's how she's viewed at the lens of the story, how fans remember her, and she still forever be seen as throughout the franchise at large.

Despite the fact she stayed faithful to a man who may or may not love her or his family and left them behind for years on end for whatever reason, and so on... it's not particularly impressive according to the story. She's still the "shrew" so it doesn't matter.

I'm not gonna go over the modern material this time because it's far too obvious...

Do you think Toriyama intended for her to be this character that no one is supposed to like? Is she really that bad? If not, then would fans ever vilify her so mercilessly (to the point where even actual fans start to question her integrity and reasons for being married to Goku) and make others feel bad for genuinely liking her?:

Will you people leave when DBS is over?
I can only hope that you will.

Possibly. Toriyama said that he didn't like her and that this is why he kept her around.

Why do I like this so much? It's so edgy but so fucking good to watch

Is the manga also good?

I enjoyed it, I know a lot of fags on /a/ hate it and can't seem to ignore the threads. I've never read the manga so I'm interested in this

As a person who enjoyed Elfen Lied :

The anime is shit compared to the manga so it's good shit.
It's also less edgy (you know, Kisaragi's death? Be ready to laugh at the scene) and has more characters

What's the appeal to this series? I must be missing something.

The art is okay, but surely there's more to a show than that. This series is basically just a supernatural harem show with no story, which is fine, but what about that appeals to so many weebs? I just don't see it.

The only monogatari I even liked was Oremonogatari, but I can't even tell how it's related to the rest of the series. What is he like Araragi's cousin or something?

It all makes sense if you start with Katana, idiot.

How's your first week here treating you?

Why is it such a common trope in Japanese animation for sweet, normal kids to become awful people as adults? This goes all the way back to Flit Asuno in Gundam AGE.
