Psh, actually do work at work? Naaaaaah :P Stole'd from hughes_maes and about 15 other people.

Name a fandom, and I'll tell you at least three unpopular opinions of mine related to that fandom.

Be warned, I may have more than 3 :DDDDD

TeniMyu first!

[fencer-x.livejournal.com]

1) Tsuji and Shouta have the best Golden Pair combination of all the casts, period. Yes, even better than Tuti and Nagayan, I've come to accept u.u They're both amazing as their individual characters, but I don't feel like I've really done enough "research" to say they're the absolute best at their characters (though I personally find no fault really, though Tsuji's voice is sometimes a bit too high for Oishi, to me :P). But as far as combinations go, they're just the best of the best. And if you don't think that being a good pair is important to being a good Golden Pair, to being a good Eiji and Oishi as individuals, you don't know what the hell you're talking about--so much of those characters is tied into who they are to each other, to not nail that aspect outright is just failing as a whole.

2) Dream Lives were better with fewer cast members. Though I say this, of course, and I know I'm just going to fangasm at DL7th which will have 2938492342 guys up there, but still :/ I'd be just as happy if it were 5th cast and maybe Rikkai and a couple of reps from the representative teams (maybe like Nationals 2) I really liked the intimacy of DL1st, mostly because Seigaku's my favorite team. It's just too big now :/

3) Fandom are a bunch of greedy, ungrateful people :P I don't ask for much, but I really wish more people were interacting in fandom. More meta, art, fic, icons, people actually going to see the musicals. I know it's stupid, since most people can't get the money togeter or have school, etc., but just...I feel like if I and the few other people who rip and upload didn't do just that, fandom would die. We were so full of drama in years past, but at least people were PARTICIPATING. It's hard getting excited about stuff alone, and while I love scanning and sharing things like photosets and writing up these long, detailed reports, it really is depressing when all I get is "ooh thanks taking" in return. Fuck that :P

1) I agree! :D Tuti and Nagayan were amazingly good in their roles, but Tsuji and Shouta's combination just blows me out of the water. XD; I think I get more of the original character feeling from their pair than from any of the other casts of Tenimyu. :3

2) I remember being disappointed that the later DLs didn't focus on Seigaku nearly as much... but then, I didn't much care for many of the later casts so I made myself feel better by thinking that the only good cast got a Seigaku-only DL. XD;

3) Here's something I'd love your input in, actually! I'm serious when I say that I'd like to start writing essays or commentaries about the actors or characterizations in Tenimyu, but I'm really not sure how I should go about it. There are too many options and ways to analyse things. Should I write one essay analysing each character throughout their various Tenimyu incarnations or maybe a cast-by-cast review... or maybe even an analysis on each doubles combination or... I dunno. D: There are too many options. What sort of essay/opinion piece would you be the most interested in? Do you think the community in general would be interested in this sort of meta?

3) Eeee I hope you do this XD I actually was trying to write up an essay on all of the GP pairs so far to post to golden_pair to try and drum up interest among them for the boys, but no one wanted to help me on 2nd, 3rd, or 4th's essays XD I GUESS NO ONE LOVES THEM :P I wrote some stuff for first and fifth so...I dunno, maybe I'll post that some day 8D

I think you should start off doing whatever you really want *____* I mean, then you're guaranteed to enjoy it and get into the swing of things! I love writing up informative posts like that, even if it's long and time-consuming.

Do I think the community in general would be interested? .....Probably not XD; But I know a few people definitely would be, depending on your topic :3 I'd love anything focusing on first or fifth cast of course, or maybe TeniMyu's development into a franchise over time, the increasing popularity, changes from source material, etc.? Thrill me!!

I would like to read what you've written about 1st and 5th cast! :D Any comparisons between the two? (I could site you as a source in my essay! XD;)

I think I'll write some character analyses based on each actor's performance of their character, maybe? I seem to focus on the comparisons when I talk about the various actors anyway. "So-and-so really got the emotion of that scene right, but in that other myu, so-and-so just wasn't connecting with his doubles partner." etc...

And I guess I'll just post them to my personal journal for now, since I think your right when you say that lots of people in the community wouldn't really care that much. XD; I'll make it my Spring Break homework to finish at least one essay of this type in a week. :O
