You Guys, I Just Realized That Sakura & Sasuke Are The Two Havles Of The Same Soul

Really.

Just look at the evidence:

Part 1: Sakura is badly written by Kishimoto, and drives the majority of the audience insane with annoyance. Sasuke is kinda cool.

Part 2: Sasuke is badly written by Kishimoto, and drives the majority of the audience insane with annoyance. Sakura is fantastically cool.

It's like they share a set amount of 'annoying' and when one takes, the other gives. *sigh*

Don't you see? They're soul mates. The last scene of the manga will be them getting married and/or surrounded by pink-haired, pinwheel-eyed children.

It's totally canon, don't bother arguing with me.

Shut up, Sakura x Sasuke are only the greatest romance since Bella and Edward! (OMG OTP!!1111!!!!)

Basically, while I totally agree on Yoko's badassness, I am freaking sick of 'kicks ass in other ways' where there is clearly One Particular Way That You Must Kick Ass To Be Worshiped by the writers. (In FMA it's alchemy, in Naruto it's having massive chakra, in Black Cat it's being one of the numbers). It's like, 'why ISN'T Yoko a pilot? Why is it always, always, two BROTHER who have to save the world, instead of two siblings, or fuck, two sisters?'

I am just freaking sick of seeing women given the Total Badass But Not In This One Way that seems so very common.

What I am basing my opinion on TTGL on are the six episodes I've seen so far, which in my opinion is a fair testing for wether or not I want to continue. And yeah, it sounds like it get more awesome further along the road - but since TTGL fits in with a lot of some of the same patterns of storytelling I'm seeing in other mangas and animes and getting annoyed with... I don't know if I want to but the time into the show to find out if those elements of storytelling go away.

I can see that, and if you'd found the show on your own, I'd say six episodes is a reasonable tester. But in this case you've got lots of friends vouching for it, including ones such as myself who adore good female characters.

And a good thing to keep in mind is that Gainax seems enthusiastic about awesome chickness, considering that Gunbuster and Diebuster are about Bad-Ass Female Mecha Pilots.

I guess what I'm saying is, you may have seen enough to keep going or not, but not enough to informedly lump it in with less-than-awesome stuff.
