Before I get stuck into a rebuttal, I'll just say this: There's no need for the personal attacks, make all the assumptions you want but at the end of the day you should focus on your campaign instead of barbs meant to garner attention.Jesus Samuel.
Her Puberty Syndrome might be related to quantum physics yes, but the main idea is still that you sometimes feel like you're being ignored by society or rather lonely still stands. You are taking it way too literally or you're just being ignorant.
Personal growth? Her traumatic experience during her younger years played a huge role in her Puberty Syndrome, so the fact that she overcame it and decided to go back to acting and modelling shows that she has grown as a person. The strength needed to resume a path that caused so much pain... Did you expect something like a 180 personality change?
You say that Mai is distant and unapproachable to most people, but you don't state that Mai spent her entire childhood controlled by her mother and then, when she finally got out of that lifestyle, she developed the Puberty Syndrome that made her invisible to others most of the time. Of course she would seem distant and unapproachable. She never actually got the opportunity nor experience to link with people due to her past life and trauma. I even stated that she might seem cold at the first glance, but that in reality, she's human, has emotions and is highly capable of loving too once you get to know her. Some people are just harder to get close with and Mai is one of those people, but they aren't unapproachable like you want to make it seem like. You just have to take the first step sometimes. Sakuta himself proved it. Also, this tells me that someone here has never shot his shot before too
About the Nadoko part, it's actually Mai's doing. When Sakuta showed her that Mai cared about her, she was still skeptical. It was the fact that Mai talked to her, hugged her, and said that she should make herself happy instead of always trying to get praised by her mother that fixed their relationship. Mai even invited Nodoka to come live with her afterwards after Nodoka had yet another fight with her mother, which also shows that Mai cares about her friends and family.
Sakuta is no special case. Mai treated him like any other random person at first even though she had the Puberty Syndrome effect, but by talking, they got closer and closer. That's pretty much how it works in real life too. Some day, you start talking with a stranger, then with time, you learn their name, become friends, learn their hobbies, learn their problems...That said, it's funny how you assume that because she's a celebrity, she instinctively thinks she's better than everyone else and doesn't open up to normal people. You're just bullshitting at this point Samuel. We've seen her true self, outside her job where she has to act a certain way, for around 95% of the anime so you know well that she's not like you say she is.
It's just incredible how most of your arguments are based around assumptions and generalizations on celebrities and how you perceive Mai to be your 'typical' celebrity and not a normal human being honestly.
I'm going to say it again Sir Samuel, just stick to your waifu. You spend more time trying to trash on other waifus, contradicting yourself even, like the great husbando that you are than actually campaigning for yours. Just remove the Sir in your name at this point, it doesn't fit you one bit. And no, telling others to please vote for Mushashi with a smiley face on other parts of the forum isn't a way of campaigning. I'm done arguing with you at this point.
By the way, it's funny how Draku and Ranea joined, posted only on this thread, then dipped btw. I wonder if we'll see them back the next round... would be pretty hilarious.
Use another strategy the next round, friendly advice xoxo
Yes, her experiences with her mother did shape how she acts, but that doesn't take away from how she is with most people. You say she grew from dealing with puberty syndrome but was she really all that different in how she treated people? No, we don't see her interactions outside of Sakuta and business change so it is safe to say there is still the divide between Sakuta and his groupies, work, and then the normal man or woman when it comes to how she is with the regular person. Plus, saying Sakuta proved you can get close to her if you take the first step is misleading; he was a classic Space Invader who managed to strike it lucky.
In the end the divide between Mai and Nadoko is patched up, but only through a grown understanding that Sakuta had to work through to have it realised. You can put spin on it and say Mai did good for Nadoko with getting her her own single but that doesn't change Nadoko's battle with inferiority and having to accept she can't reach the same leve as Mai like she wanted.
Sakuta was a special case. He had to be a space invader to make any breakthrough and ignore Mai's reluctance to form a connection with anyone, be it just acquaintances or what. She is naturally cold and abrasive, but she's different with Sakuta because of what they went through. If Mai pre-Sakuta is what you're selling to real-world consumers then she will not be easy to connect with and that's been shown enough in the show to be fact.
Anyway, to get away from the negativity let's focus on my campaign now. Musashi is:
Strong and Determined
Cheerful; Vibrant; Dignified; Living life to the fullest
Bold; Confident; Beautiful
Looking for love from a man or woman
Be her special someone: Vote Musashi!
