Since I am all about that 'one line posts with random meme' thing of late. Here goes! Comment with a pairing or character from a fandom I know and I will, like, totally talk about it and stuff.

Most of my knowledge of the Matantei Loki series comes from the anime and a couple of volumes of the manga. Conclusions: manga!Mayura? Cool and useful and smart and quite likable. Anime!Mayura? ...one of the rare, rare characters I actually dislike. I think it's the fact that she has such potential to be an interesting person...but...she. fails. So badly. And manages to be rock stupid about it in the process. Anime!Mayura enforces that old stereotype of 'omg being a spirited ditz is CUTE!' that I...am not fond of, in my female leads.

That said I hate, hate, hated that the end of the anime decided to have Loki stay for no other reason than omg poor Mayura. As opposed to, you know, more valid reasons like his children. And his children. And his children who are only, you know, awesome. Yaminoooo No, it had to be about the cute girl. Who I almost liked for her 'I don't believe in Gods' speech-- would've liked her for it, in fact, if it didn't directly contradict an earlier episode where she was all "I WILL PRAY TO A GOD TO DO WELL ON THIS MAKE UP TEST I HAVE NOT BOTHERED STUDYING FOR AT ALL.' So yes, I'm not so fond of the prospect of Mayura/Loki. If anything he finds her amusing in the way an extremely dumb puppy is amusing--I just didn't buy his sudden gooshy feelings for her the way the anime attempted to present it.
