beyond of boundary
On a positive note, I did sort of like Ayanokouji and Horikita at first. Ayanokouji's casual and disinte
rested attitude was sort of refreshing, and his along with Horikita's social
ineptitude was interesting, especially when they were forced to interact with other characters. Now the primary issue that I had was that both of them have a similar personality. They're both social outcasts who have a
hard time fitting in with the rest of the class. Granted, they each posses differing views on things like friendship and whatnot, but it sometimes got really boring hearing both of them talk to each other in their monotone voices all the time. Also, they each hardly interacted with the other characters (Horikita more than Ayanokouji) unless they were forced to, which left the rest of the cast terribly underdeveloped. To compensate for this, the producers would give the other characters (most notably Kikyou Kushida) random quirks in order to make them seem more interesting. This ultimately failed
because I didn't really care for the characters too much in the first place.
The majority of the budget went into eyes and fanservice. The characters' eyes always seem to shine bright with vibrant splotches of color. While high in detail, the focus on irises makes everything else seem lazily designed in comparison.
Attractive people thus start off with a slight physical advantage. But then people project all sorts of widely unrelated stereotypes onto them. In survey after survey, beautiful people are described as trustworthy, competent, friendly,
likable and intelligent, while ugly people get the opposite labels. This is a version of the halo effect. Not all the time, but often, the attractive get the first-class treatment. Research suggests they are
more likely to be offered job interviews, more likely to be hired when interviewed and more likely to be promoted than less attractive individuals.
