>>3518076Same though. I never hated karlshaun like a lot of people here have (though not without reason), but I did think I at least "liked" it, just because it's manga Kaworu and Shinji. Until I realized that I basically don't even save anything of them nor go out of my way to like I do for anime/Q Kawoshin.
>>3518110Ironically I actually can get behind tsundere romances, but even then karlshaun still doesn't do enough for me. One because it's so different from the type of dynamic I expect from Kawoshin, which is very classically romantic, comfy, and beautiful, but also because it's not even that interesting of a "tsundere dynamic" in the first place. I believe there are tsundere romances done VERY well but it still falls a bit flat. God I wonder if Sadamoto had just been honest with himself and what he wanted to portray with them instead of being all repressed and getting embarrassed (like he's stated in interviews, such as with the kiss) about drawing two boys in love, how different it would have turned out.
