I think I dislike william right now more than Mr. Campbell... -.-;

William is such an idiot. I guess I hate him for what he puts Eleanor through... and what he puts his family through..

I admire Eleanor's strength in ep. 8 & 9 but I kinda feel like she's going to crack if she hasn't already.... >.>;

Ah....ep 9.
William and Hans, oh it is so on...
my money's on Hans, Will is a pansy.

I finally caught up to 10, been busy with AX preparations and picking up people from the airport.

I don't dislike William at all. He's a tragic character that doesn't belong in his world. Again, it's why I love the series because the period of time is so important. William tried to be realistic and human, and he lost his love for it. He tried to give up, and it drove him mad. He tried to be a pawn of society, and he couldn't accept it.

He's human.

He let's his emotions and wants take precedence over what society dictates he should be(something that most of the people on this forum advocate). So i find it rather hypocritical when people look down upon his character.

The only issue I have with William is his absurd view with trying to please everyone. He attempts to please the very society he despises for preventing him from being human.

I don't even hate William's father. His father cares much about his son, and he doesn't want his son to go through the same pain he did. His father escaped the pain by becoming a tool of society, and he believes if William does the same he too can ease his pain. William couldn't do it, and his father is trying his best to fix the situation. He's acting like a good father. Giving suggestions, but not condemning his son for not agreeing.

Eleanor's father is the only real asshole in the series. He doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself and his money.

Hans... is a character that looks great on paper, but in real life would be someone I would despise. Someone who only gets involved when he absolutely has to do something for others, but can't do a thing for himself. Hans is more of a pussy than William is. William had the balls to admit his feelings, and to attempt to try and grasp things on his own. Hans is the emo guy in his room crying about how he does everything for everyone, but no one loves him back. A "typical nice guy" except without the show of whinyness.

Eleanor... is exactly what she is. A stupid woman from the ages. She plays the role of a woman of that time perfectly, worthless and weak.

William and Hans, oh it is so on...
my money's on Hans, Will is a pansy.

Judging by the iichan Translation Group's site, they have dropped Victorian Romance Emma.

With 3 episodes to go (all of them available raw), who will pick this series up? Must we brave the series in the original Japanese? Or perhaps wait for the official version?

At least the Right Stuf DVDs are gonna be dirt cheap. $38/season. Subs onry. Preorders available now.

P.S. No release date yet. December 12, 2012 is undoubtedly a filler date (and the Mayan apocalypse).

So I'm working on watching the series - currently on episode 3.

May I say LOL HAKIM?
