Got started on W again. The annoying chick(Akiko?) who shoehorned herself into the detective agency was the reason I stopped, and she kept grating on me until I got to the two parter with the Sweets Dopant, and she won me over. I think it was seeing her be equally as obnoxious with the villains that did it. When she was trying to force Mick the cat to eat that food, I just about lost it.

I feel the same way.

Except replace "love" with "detest."

Surprising coming from you. She's the Umeko of W. And I loved the hell out of Umeko, I know you did too.

Yeah, Akiko never really settles down, but she grows on you. Mostly because she stops being genuinely combative with Shotaro and she starts racking up genuine victories with her antics. I didn't think I'd like her either when she started getting bossy, but you know. She's not perfect, but that kind of makes me like her more.

While I don't love the character, I do like her. I also like that, while she's certainly cute, she's not your typical just-sort-of-there pretty-faced female lead like Hina from OOOs, ass-something or whatever she's called from Agito or... wait, was there a female lead in Kabuto?

Also comparring female leads in my head I'm reminded of young Hana from Den-O. FUG-FI-SHI-

And then replace "detest" with "adore" then "always" with "sometimes" then "Akiko" with "golfing" and "have" with "when" and "will" with "sing" and the second "always" with "cats" and "Akiko" with "soup"...

Wait, what?

Yeah, I'm not sure why I love Umeko so much. I usually hate that character type, but something about the way Mika Kikuchi played the character just makes her incredibly endearing to me. I think it's because she managed to still feel real and not like an annoying cartoon character.

No, no, no, Akiko is useful.

Insinuating Umeko wasn't?

Oh, am I not being clear? Umeko's the worst pink ranger ever (at least Heisei, I'm not familier enough with Showa). She should never be a ranger or a police officer.

But I digress, that's getting off topic. Akiko can grow on you, but I think it took watching the garbage that is Decade for me to appreciate her.
