Gonna be frank her and take a guess as to Chu being more popular than Aka has more to do with his design than his character. People in the Ginga fandom like scars, Chu has a missing ear, boosting his cool points in the fandom. At least, that's my guess. Aka is definitely my fave of the trio.Dragon wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 11:15 pm That's so crazy o3o Maybe it's from him being sorta fun in the Shin Gaiden story.
Actually, what made me wonder it was from his sons' lack of mentioning him during their screen time xD In the links I gave, I talked a bit about that chutora look-alike and the sky in the ending (though I described it poorly, I was trying to get at why it's only Chutora who's hardly visible in the credits, while literally everyone else is clear.)

I actually prefer the anime GDW's portrayal of the story more than the manga.
I have seen people agree with this a little more now, but before I think a lot didn't. The animation is bad, but I think it's story is good enough to get past it.
And I definitely agree that the GDW anime did better at telling the first two arcs. Definitely cleaned it up a bit and made it much more streamline... still wish we got more arcs, especially since I really like the Monkey arc especially the relationship between Yukimura and Saheiji.
