sherryillkNya... I have to talk some more about Samurai Deeper Kyo because my last post didn't accurately reflect my confused and anger at this serious. Try as I might, I can't hate this serious. Why??? This series disagrees with me; I disagree with it. I don't like the ending, I feel like it totally betrayed me as a watcher and I hate it for doing so.I wish it had ended differently -- that Kyo and Kyoshiro are both alive and have gotten over their petty hate of each other. After all, Kyo has been more or less redeemed as a person (not just a person with only fighting spirit). I feel with all that, he should have been able to walk away, preferably not with Yuya since they both seem most sincere.
And as much as I hate to admit it, I like Kyo. I like him more than Kyoshiro simply because I've seem him more often than he has and have had more time to fall in love with his arrogant, caustic attitude. I don't want to like an evil character though the way they portrayed him, you can't really tell if he's evil or not.... But the problem is I do like him, against all my protestations...
I do like Kyoshiro on principle. He's the type of guy had he been the solo main character, I would have fallen head over heals for. He's dashing with a sense of humor and can fight really well. But seeing as Kyo was more of the main character than he was, I think Yuya should have been with Kyo and that Kyo (if they really had to fight to the death) should have been the one left alive.
I don't see why they had to fight to the death -- though it was only implied, it was quite clear that only one of them was alive at the end of the show. I don't like they had to leave everyone fighting against each other. I understand that they like it this way, but they were such a tight-knit group...
There was one thing I liked though. Kotarou and Sasuke (favorite character, Kyo then Sasuke) made up and are both in the Sanada Ten Braves. There's a cute friendship.
One last note before I retire the Kyo topic. I wish the subtitles had been better (that might have heightened my enjoyment level of it all) and if I ever watch it again (there were some good moments) I would watch anything but the last couple of episodes.
