Yeeee!! Don't have anything to add to add to the current discussion but . . . *luffs* Yeah, everyone has their fave's they obsess on. For me, it's Yugi and Yami like you couldn't tell LOL. I've actually come to a much greater appreciation for Kaiba than I had in the beginning. For a long time, all I had to go on was the early anime, and dub at that, and he's an almost irredeemable ASS the way 4Kids primarily seems to portray him. It wasn't until I started reading the manga and found sources for the original Japanese content of the anime that I started to give Kaiba another look, and I've been really impressed by who I personally refer to sometimes as "the real Kaiba" as opposed to dub-Kaiba. Original-Kaiba shows a lot more growth and movement in his character throughout the series that dub-Kaiba seems to. So, yeah, while he's not my favorite, per se, I've certainly grown to love him! Just that I identify with Yugi and Yami both more, and feel I share character traits with each of them more than anyone else in the series. But then, everyone's different. "To each, his own." I LOVE reading in-depth discussions on any character because it helps me to understand and appreciate that character all the more myself.
And it helps in my own portrayals of the characters in the stories that /I/ write while we're on the subject of shameless plugs - LOL! I don't know how to do a hyperlink in a reply like this, but I'm also on FF.net. "DragonDancer1014" For some reason, searching that name will not bring back a match, but if you search "DragonDancer" it will come back with something like five or six pennames, mine being one of them. Just in case you're interested. *sheepish grin*
