Sometimes I have to wonder if Naoko stans have recently read the manga...
What character development? What deep storyline??? The manga's different arcs have a core theme???
Repetitiveness??? Have you
READ the manga? It couldn't be more mechanically structured in it's writing - the 1st half of Black Moon and Infinity are basically
filler and the 1st half of Dreams is
MEANINGLESS because the character's 'development' doesn't even end up mattering because they are all reset by the next pages.
The 90s anime has ugly and bad art/animation and bad storylines - it's only loved because of nostalgia.
Sure, honey that's why Crystal despite it's very low animation and art is applauded for it's amazing characters and storyline... oh wait.
