The current topic is:
Characters shortchanged on screen time
Name: Tomite no Miko
Comments: Shortchanged characters? I've got lots to say on this, being the miko for a Genbu seishi. Hikitsu and Tomite easily take the prize for the least amount of screen time. Yeah, they're dead, but still, they're important to the story. Not only them, but the whole Genbu side. We don't even get to see what Genbu no Miko looks like, let alone hear her story. Even the Byakko seishi, although also lacking in attention, had more light shed on their past, and they also got to stick around for a few episodes. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that this story is about Suzaku no Miko and Seiryuu no Miko, but I would really love to have a story on the Genbu and Byakko sides. Afterall, they're part of the ShiJinTenChiShou, too.
Suzaku and Seiryuu also has shortchanged seishi. I couldn't really care less about Ashitare, Tomo, and Miboshi, but Mitsukake and Chiriko deserve some screen time. Mitsukake gets about oh *estimating* twenty important lines, and Chiriko gets even less. These guys have been through a lot. Poor Mitsukake doesn't even get his character single played in episode 47. *sigh* I could say a LOT more, but I'm taking up space...
