I never really got the appeal for Neo. Admittedly, her first more-than-a-minute appearance soured me on her.

But I just hope some of the new people can shrug off their genericness and become half as interesting as Roman.

Roman never came off as particularly interesting to me. Entertaining, sure, but I don't consider those to be the same thing. I'm failing to see how he was particularly fleshed out.

So, they just need to appear more...obviously. First impressions aren't great, of course.

Ozpin told Ruby in season 1, "I have made more mistakes than anyone on this planet," and the Wizard of Ozpin was a reclusive hermit when he met the Four Maidens.

One thing that struck me about the Maidens story is the Wizard's behaviour at the beginning of the story. He's in some kind of troubled state and just sitting alone in his cottage, staring out the window every day until the girls pull him out of his funk. Every time something is troubling Ozpin... he sits alone in his office, staring out the window.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

@Cross (Wow this thread moves quick): Admittedly, I think it would've been better to swap his and Adam's motives because wow did Adam's obsession with Blake come literally out of nowhere whereas Roman being obsessed with taking out Ruby would've made a lot more sense considering how she is a perpetual thorn in his side.

Re: Tyrian — I agree that he's rather boring. Given that he's being sent after two young women, I anticipate him being creepy as balls (in the bad way) and generally unpleasant to watch.

Re: Neo — the most interesting thing about her was her relationship with Roman. Roman's a self-centered asshole, yet works very well with Neo despite her seeming to be more powerful than he is, and we don't know why they get along so well. We also don't know why she's mute, which hints at an interesting backstory that we've seen nothing of.

Re: Roman — the reason he's the most entertaining villain of the bunch is that he actually has personality. He gleefully hams it up while the rest of Cinder's crew (including Cinder herself) are either boring, annoying, or both. Cinder is capital-e Evil and that's about it, Mercury is a smug amoral bastard, Neo is mute, Emerald keeps making hints toward having an actual conscience and being conflicted about her role as one of Cinder's enforcers, but that has yet to actually go anywhere, and Adam's only two settings are "grrr hate humans" and "grrr Blake you betrayed me".

I refuse to believe that anime is anything special after seeing how cliche-ridden the first episode was. And I know someone was plugging it on this wiki for a little. "Trapped in a video game" with the ultimate waifu that no one understands, trying to subvert anime cliches while playing them deafly straight. I refuse to believe there is a good character among the litter.

Tyrian is amazin i will cut you.

The seats were for Roman and Neo. In fact, they dislike Cinder for letting them die or disappear. letting them go on vacation into a spin-off comedy series

Hrh-hrm.

Hey wait a second. I can't believe I didn't think of this before.

wild mass guessNeo is mute for the same reason Cinder currently is. She had an encounter with the Silver Eye power at some point.wild mass guess

Re-Zero. Tyrian needs to be as interesting as a character from that anime apparently. I saw the first episode and    was not amused   , but maybe Sword Art and Over Lord have just tainted any positive perspective I could have on "trapped in the game" animes.

She had an encounter with the Silver Eye power at some point.

It's a wild mass guess but Neo either exfoliates a lot, or the damage healed (look at Cinder's face) but she never regained her voice (why?). Also, Silver Eyes seem to be Maiden kryptonite, or kryptonite to whatever Cinder is.

[up][up][up]It's my fault for not checking, because I assumed it was the one from Beetlejuice. And while I never cared for SAO, Overlord was at least decent to me since it pretty knows what it is.

[up](3) I've considered that Torchwick and Neo aren't dead and have mysteriously teleported to offscreen land, and that Whitley is secretly an evil alien parasite possessing the original Whitley's body. There is literally nothing about this show I haven't considered.

Neo being a Maiden conflicts with her lack of Avatar-level bending. Being an illusionist and masking her real abilities sure, that makes sense, but then we'd also have to assume that Raven is so badass she can scare maidens away. Then we have to assume that Neo is a Lvl 1 Maiden and refuses to use her powers. And that whatever Maiden she stole from had an illusion ability that the other Maiden didn't have. And then we'd have to wonder why Neo is hiding her maidenhood (tee hee) when she's working with Master Escape Artist Roman Torchwick, and Cinder's group is clearly on the hunt for Maidens, especially when we've seen Cinder actively use her abilities without restraint.

Too many razors for a morning shave.

Yes, it'd be a little out there.
