Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

Bring it! >:D

1. I can't buy in to the fandom-love of Soubi and Ritsuka as a sexual couple. I'm okay with adults and teens together to a point, but twelve and adult? No. I'm fine with their canon master/slave relationship, but I think a lot of fanfics have them another way.

2. I know Ritsuka is the main character, but I don't like him that much and can't see why all the other characters do. He so cranky, moody, and angsty all the time - do people really like being around that sort?

3. I hate that characters with the potential to be so interesting are virtually ignored, like Kio and Yayoi.

4. I refuse to believe the popular undercurrent that Yuiko is Ritsuka's true Fighter. Blah, yuck, and ugh.

1.) I can definitely see what you're saying here. I remember when I first watched Loveless, and I was like, "Ritsuka is in elementary school, and Soubi is in college...Wha?!" To me though, having Ritsuka and Soubi's relationship take a sexual turn makes the most sense, given that a Fighter and Sacrifice always seek to deepen their bond. I always imagined having Ritsuka grow up first though before they have a sexual relationship.

2.) Really??!! I love Ritsuka! Though he is very cranky, I like to think that the other characters are able to see through that and see that Ritsuka doesn't really mean offense. Ritsuka is an insecure and burdened individual who is not used to others caring for him except Seimei, so his social skills are a bit lacking. However, Ritsuka is also very determined and honest, and as he feels more secure with Soubi's bond to him, he is given a safe place to grow as he tries to discover what is important and right while staying true to those things.

3.) I AGREE!!! I have fallen in love with many side characters in other anime, and it's always frustrating when they don't appear and develop nearly as much as they should.

4.) I also agree. I don't know why so many people like to think this. I just can't picture that in my head. I actually have a short segment where the voice actors of Loveless talk about the show, and they ponder the possibility of Yuiko and Ritsuka being paired together but rejected it. Have you seen it? It's quite interesting to see the actors' view on the show, so I can send it to you if you'd like.

Sure, hopefully I'll have answers (some fandoms I've been out of for a long time.)

About #1, I'm fine with them having that kind of relationship once Ritsuka has aged a few more years. :)

Thanks for the offer, but that's okay. I don't usually follow anime voice actors very much; it's the characters I find interesting.

Hmm, I don't remember where I originally got it, so I wouldn't really know if it's still online. However, I can upload it and give you the link if you'd like.

1. AGREED SO HARD. Although, maybe in about ten years...

2. I think people want to protect Ritsuka. He's been through a lot. And his mother is crazy and his brother is psychotic and the only person on his side is a very broken 19 year old who hits on children. He needs all the help he can get!

3. Kio! I would love to see more of him in the series.

4. REALLY?! O.o I had no idea...

1. My cut-off is more like sixteen (at least in fics -- in real-life I'd rather they wait until adulthood.)

2. Yeah, except when it's people who just meet him and suddenly are all 'Oh, he's so adorable! :D' -_-;

3. It SUCKED when he disappeared for about a year's worth of chapters.

4. I groaned out loud when I first heard it. If it turns out to be true, it will not be a happy day.
