Lets start off... Yuno gasai is not really that interesting then you think. I been rewatching Future diary lately and when i looked deeper, She isn't even that entertaining. All i see is the blueprint for a bland yandere. What makes a good character is lore, motivations, and complexity. She isn't complex. She is simple.

Look... This girl has gone through the most horrific hell i have ever seen from childhood. Locking your own child in a cage under the guise of to make "the perfect daughter"? These sickfucks of parent absolutely deserved punishment regardless of financial problems but her mind snapped and she is no better then them when you think about it. She done to much to be even considered morally gray. She is fucking Tragically beyond redemption.

The survival games was a complex part. She killed many holders for the tactics, the survival, and ofc so they didn't die. But it was also because so she can have a world where its just her and him. And her combat? listen this is exactly what the show wants to hook you with. They think combat will lure us in and make us consider her a badass. Other then the god reveal, we have no insight on how she knows how to fire a gun flawlessly and handle a katana. The sex scenes? Yeah i condemn those for the most part because its like... it was unnecessary and disgusting. Her personality? She's entirely focused on yuki. Thats IT. Their is nothing else. Their is literally nothing else. she has no hobbies, no other interests. Just yuki. Thats the definition of one note. And look at the other yanderes in anime history. They had hobbies, they had complex motivations.

Her Suicide... I call this just perfect. Not because i'm glad she's dead but she finally breaks out of that loop to perform ONE selfless decision. She may have not been remorseful but because she would have stayed dead then its like she meant this. She made me lwk feel a lot more better.

The OVA redial ending... Well. They pretty much ruined the whole "at what cost?" of the entire original ending. Yes the original ending was depressing i know. But then she just comes back while glossing over that selfless ending so we can all sing "kumbaya" around a "fixed" world and pretend everything is okay? Like what was this the point of all of this then? Just so we can be relieved that one of the most controversial couples in anime can have a happy moment?

And look... You consider her the queen because of the aesthic. Not the character. When you look past the aesthic. she is unbelievably boring. I'm tired of everyone always saying "PRAISE YUNO! REVERE HER!" And we ignore the bad things shes done. Trauma doesn't excuse action. We need to consider that. She is not a hero. We have to stop looking so simple and look deeper into what makes a character a character.

Parental abuse is also a serious deal like a lot but when its overstuffed and used as a catalyst for her break which has been seen in a lot of anime, then its treating a serious thing as a catalyst factory. Thats not good.

And i didn't enjoy her like at all i'm sorry bro. Her constant yuki yelling is annoying, Her crashout moments are more straight face inducing and she just isn't really making me like her. At all.

I'm curious because i'm thinking on taking some art requests but i only take some i think are fine. I'm not drawing characters under 18 in nfsw scenarios regardless if thats allowed here and not.
