So I'm some 9 episodes into Savers. It's decent ish, I gotta say. Something of a sausage fest though. It's all about Masaru except when it's about Touma, in which case it's about Touma, except when it's about Masaru. Yoshino has done jack squat in these nine episodes, and Sunflowmon has been completely ineffective the very very few times she's been called on to do Anything. Even the first episode that actually was about Yoshino, with the one idol dude, ended up being more about Masaru, and in the end she was unable to do a single thing.

All kinds of bullshit, this is. Not even Izumi had it this bad, and Izumi had it pretty damn bad.

But, eh, I object to her treatment, but mostly on principle. If you can't even split focus in a matter even remotely resembling what one could call "equally" when there's just three main characters, you done fucked up somewhere.

On the other hand, I'm not really losing a lot of sleep crying about not seeing more of her. As a character, she's fairly uncompelling (though I may think this as a result of her dismal treatment; if we hadn't seen a few more sides to Touma by this point I probably would find him kind of a bore as well. They need to let her actually do something before I can start caring, and they haven't let her, at all), and I really do not like her voice--I guess her va was new or something? She's not very good. (i just looked it up, yoshino was like her only role ever. explains a lot. is not encouraging for my hopes of her possible eventual improvement though).

But eh, I can only hope this changes by the time Lilamon enters the picture. Which should be...episode 17? Man. And GeoGreymon evolves in 13? Jeez. Feels kinda early for Perfects to start showing up. Though looking it up I guess Tamers had them pretty early too. Guess I'm stuck thinking in Adventure terms. Guess it makes sense since they have to fit in not only the Ultimates but Burst Mode too for all of them...
