Yeah, Sailor Moon and Pokemon were my first anime, and they left scars.
I have read the Codex Alera series, which I really, really liked until the last two books when it seemed like he was cock!blocking Amara to give Bernard more chances to be awesome, and then he did that think where Amara is all, 'tra la la I'm a married women now, so I'm wearing skirts and not flying fast because oh noes, the peasants won't like it! But my husband likes me wearing skirts and making nice with his peasants and provides me sexual favors that make ME like not being the woman he fell in love with!'
It really bothered me, and made that scene at the end of the book, where Bernard put the slave collar on her flat out disturbing instead of clever and disturbing and hot. I remember reading that scene and going, you know, they hadn't done that in the beginning of the book, I would think this scene is the best think since sliced toast.'
It felt like a betrayal of Amara, who was always shown to be very professional and love her job dearly. (And yeah, I can see her having some backlash towards that idea after the last book, but I would have liked her husband to have been concerned about it and not thrilled.)
Why are you so surprised I've watched Ouran? I'm not afraid of shojo.
