Topic: Character Discussion and Defining

[UruseiNeo]

Yeah, at the end of the anime one Lum still is mad. She asks why she was the only one to not see her door even though it wasn't Ataru's fault (I think, I saw it like a year ago) and in addition Ataru tried to save the good door so how could she be mad at him? Again... I think... it wasn't his fault!

[sidzero]

Guess she's one of those women that just always needs something to be mad about, huh?

[UruseiNeo]

how long do you think it would take for Ataru to begin to lose interest in girl-hunting?

[sidzero]

Probably about 5 years, around the time he passes the general male "sexual peak" at around the age of 21-22. Male libidos tend to start decreasing around that time as our hormone levels begin to normalize. So, it only makes sense that around that time is when he, too, would start to calm himself and begin getting ready to settle down.

[DarkDevil]

I'm still not sure.

[UruseiNeo]

[Kroptik]

How about Shinobu?

That will make an interesting discussion.

[UruseiNeo]

Character 3: Shinobu

Actually I've been meaning to have a Shinobu discussion.

Obviously she's done with Ataru, aside from him throughout the TV series she wants to be with Mendou. However, in the OAV's (And some of the manga? Haven't gotten that far) she appears to be with Inaba.

Is it safe for fanfiction writers to assume that, after the anime, Shinobu is done with Mendou and has moved on to Inaba?

[Surudoi]

Yup Shinobu gets over Mendou and goes to Inaba

[sidzero]

Shinobu got over Mendo in the manga around the same time as (and probably because of) Asuka showing up in his life. She pretty much realized her place when Mendo pretty much threw her aside like nothing as soon as he found out that Asuka wasn't some ugly brute woman in a suit of armor, and went ahead with the omiai. It wasn't too long afterwards that Shinobu met Inaba passed out in the street, and fell in love with him (it was probably as much being in the right place at the right time to catch her on the rebound as much as it was the fact that he's a decent sort of fellow).
