Coming up on the end of Hataraku Mao - Which means that soon, I shall be watching Senran Kagura.
God help me.
Why didn't I bring something else?
No helping it now.
Gotta say, if Valgaav is an instance of the audience hating a villain for the wrong reasons (the feeling being "Oh god, not THIS guy again!") then Sariel is an instance of hating a villain for the right reasons.
He is unbelievably creepy. And you hope he gets killed in a way that is both horrific, and extremely painful.
Lucifer, on the other hand, is an excellent instance of the perfectly executed heel-face turn. The audience goes from hating him with a burning passion to treasuring him as a beloved protagonist in the space of a single episode.
Well, only one episode left. Which is a harsh reality, and not just because the series is a lot of fun.
It's also because Senran Kagura is very, very, VERY dreadful.
It's not even fun to watch in a "guilty pleasure way" unlike Valkyrie Drive.
Sigh.
