Oh don't get me started on avatar femmeslash ;lkawlelawe god it's the only fic/art i ever go seeking from that fandom (outside of zukaang)
ALRIGHT WE WILL GO WITH GAI FIRST
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
AWJEKLJAWEKLAKWEKWAEWAE I love him. LOVE LOVE LOVE him absolutely adore. How he ended up so happy in such a fucked up generation I do not understand, but dear gosh he is just the cutest most SELF RESPONSIBLE person ever. He's just ... so much about living life how YOU want to live it, and doing what YOU want to do. Wearing what you want to wear! Earning your OWN self respect and approval! And you know what? He somehow appeals to me (and Lee, of course!) a thousand times more than Naruto does because unlike Naruto, Gai doesn't magically win everyone over, charm everyone he comes across, isn't always right, the show's morals aren't really directed on whether or not he can relate to a bad guy, and he never gives people magical 'convert to good' punches. Therefore, he's more real to me, because the whole 'do what you want to do' lesson in life isn't nearly as endearing when everyone in society magically loves you for breaking its rules :|
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
lolno.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
I relate to Lee more, honestly. Nothing's really known about Gai's past and he's too much win and confidence for me to relate to him, so instead I relate to the adorable insecure-but-trying-to-blossom Lee that worships Gai's every step. Because uh. That's what I do. Yes Gai grips me emotionally.
