The Quintessential SPOA Guide to Anime Dating: |
| You can tell whether or not you have found a good
girl by which of the guys she prefers in the certain animes. For
example, it is a good sign if she prefers:
Van rather than Allen in The Vision of Escaflowne Ranma rather than Ryoga in Ranma 1/2 Basically, if there are two primary love interests for a female character which are always being compared, the character which has a deeper personality should win out. To explain further, Hotohori could pretty much be summed up as pure romantic. There was no real depth of character there, ALL he was was a guy who was in love (with Miaka). There were no serious outside interests, no major defining characteristics (other than romantic), nothing for someone to like other than an immature infatuation with their romantic qualities. Basically, if the girl is not in love with them for their intelligence, their morals, their talents, their goals, but rather for how romantic they can be, than she is probably shallow. Of course, these are fairly broad generalizations, and are not true in every case. For instance, it could be argued that Tamahome was pretty much only defined by his love for Miaka, unlike Hotohori, who later changes and finds someone else. However, these changes are only apparent well into the series, long after the viewer has probably formed an opinion of that character. These arguements are basically the same for the other animes as well. The only really good serious characteristic of Ryoga when compared to Ranma is his extreme devotion to Akane (we are discounting humour value and such as not serious). Other than that, he's a complete doofus. Remember, it doesn't matter which character YOU like. That's irrelevant. It only matters which character she likes. This also does not mean that you should ditch a girl fails all of the above tests. Heaven forbid. You should count yourself lucky to even HAVE a girlfriend, and you should probably hold onto her as best as possible. Remember, this ONLY a guide. I feel it is important to note that this guide is not baseless. We only realized that the above tests might have a direct relationship to the "quality" of the girl through observation and research, nor are they based upon only one single observation. What I can say is that the above statements hold true for the majority of the test cases. If you have any statements to add to the above list, please contact us. At some point we would like to turn this into one of those magazine tests, where you add up all Y's and N's and to rate the "date-ability" of your otaku girl. We would also be interested in seeing if there is a similar
list applicable to otaku guys rather than otaku girls.
