Who were you Expecting

From the first Episode where they introduced all the characters to the show, Who did you think Rin was going to end up dating/marrying? It was really confusing for me because I didn't know a whole much about the character profiles. But when I first saw Shuffle! I thought Rin would have chosen Sia. I don't know what really was in my mind but I just had a feeling. I don't want to tell why because of SPOILERS for other people. smile

Tell us who you thought Rin would have chosen for his lovely girlfriend from the first episode! If you feel like backing up why you thought he would pick your person, Please tell if its a spoiler. I don't want people who haven't watched the series get a little upset.

I'm really excited to see what who you guys had in mind!

Re: Who were you Expecting

Alright so I played the Visual Novel so I kinda had my hunches based on what the director and productions staff would have cooked up so i'll talk in all spoilers for awhile. I figured he'd end up with Asa but you really need to read my spoiler for the detail behind that: (also VN spoilers here)

Spoiler: Highlight to view
Okay, so having seen all the endings of the VN and knowledge from other anime based off of a visual novel in this sense I kinda had a feeling it would go in one of two ways. I knew basically without a doubt that they were always going to keep the harem concept open, which they did by not finalizing the relationship between Asa and Rin at the end of the final episode. Sure they say they are in the relationship but those 4 aren't going to give up that easy. This kept that harem concept that still even continues at the end of every path in the VN (since the world of gods allows polygamie). It's a simple used concept in many series. Also, i knew they were going to find some way to leak in the other paths which they did by running a general pattern method going if i remember exactly Sia, Nerine, Kaede, Asa, Primula and repeating that pattern until they doubled up the patter by changing it with the multiple episodes involving the general concept of the ending bits for each of the girl's path (Primula having to leave [doesn't leave at all in the VN], Asa with Rin cutting his wrist, ect.) They did a good enough job working it into the episodes like they did.
In short, i had no problem believing they would take the Asa route as the Kaede one wouldn't have spanned the same sense since they were living together, Primula would be to stereotypical to the loli fanbase like myself, Sia's split body with her sister would get to confusing cause in reality that is two girls that love Rin in one body, and Nerine's is actually based of the feelings of her clone Lycoris at first and they emphasis this by having Nerine comment about how she's going to love Rin from her self and not for Lycoris' sake.

Yep, kinda advanced for this topic but I really can get into it at times.

Re: Who were you Expecting

I completely agree with you.

Spoiler: Highlight to view
I never actually put a thought into it as that much, I knew he had a chance with all of them but I never expected Asa to be the one. As they say though, Aggression is lead to love. And well, i see how it turned out. But I really do like how they mixed up the episodes as you explain.

So yeah. Thats all I have to say. Thanks for commenting!

Re: Who were you Expecting

I never saw anything for Shuffle! before I watched it really, so I didn't have much to go on, but at first I figured maybe one of three, between Kaede, Sia, and Nerine. I was kind of leaning more toward Sia and Nerine, but then at the same time it felt odd for one to be picked over the other, so I wasn't so sure. But either way I figured I would be disappointed for the girls that didn't get picked in the end.

Then of course when things started focusing on Asa I was thinking maybe it'd be her, but at the same time I figured there was still time for something else to happen. I also wondered if there was any chance they would kill off Asa and either no girls get picked or somebody else somehow would. But then that seemed a little too dark and I doubted it.

it upsets me how they had chosen asa. angry i wish and i know i kinda sound dark in a way AND THIS IS MY OWN OPINION but i relly hoped tht she had died and he would have chosen someone like sia or nerine. I personally believe that she wasnt at all the best choice. BUt what would have been kool is if they had done alternate ending so that way it could have ended with every girl and we all could have been happy.
