Day 27 - Favorite anime opening theme song: Dive in the Sky, Planetes

I was going to say Rinbu Revolution from Utena, but I've been on a major Planetes binge. Though part of it is just for the opening graphics. I'm a space nerd, what can I say?

30DoS.27: A pairing that you loved and ended up hating? Zuko/Katara

Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating? Zuko/Katara

Well, actually I went from 'it could be interesting' to 'lordie, what now'?

A:tLA was pretty short on female characters in the first season. We got Katara, Yue, and a couple of one-episode badasses who later came back (Jun, Suki, Smellerbee...)*, while there were three major young men (Aang, Sokka, Zuko) and two older ones (Iroh and Zhao), plus the requisite arc characters and one-episode characters who later return. So, it's probably not surprising that Zuko/Katara became a ship, even if Zuko's only real scene with her was when he found her necklace and used it to track Aang. Most of Zuko's scenes were with Aang, Iroh and Zhao -- he barely seemed to notice Katara and Sokka besides 'the Avatar's friends'.

( Then second season came around.  )
