Do you like her? How about her cooking and cleaning skills? Her super strength? Do you think she has anger problems? Which version of her do you prefer (anime, manga, PGSM)? Will she ever find love? Do you like her obsession with her ex? Do you like her boy crazy attitude?

Anything else?

Of course I do, she's cool!

How about her cooking and cleaning skills?


They serve as a nice foil to her tomboyishness, and create an interesting internal conflict in her character.

Quote:
Her super strength?


When is super strength a bad thing? :eeklez:

Quote:
Do you think she has anger problems?


Not really. She just has one of those personalities where once she loses her temper, she goes all out. I don't see habitual anger issues in her.

Quote:
Which version of her do you prefer (anime, manga, PGSM)?


The anime version's the only one I've ever seen. I can't fairly answer this.

Quote:
Will she ever find love? Do you like her obsession with her ex?


Sure she'll find love! As for the obsession, that's probably going to be a passing thing she'll grow out of as she goes on. In fact, as I recall that particular gag sort of just disappeared after S.

Quote:
Do you like her boy crazy attitude?


Oh, so a girl wants a boyfriend really badly and she's boy crazy, but if a guy wants....yeah. She's boy crazy. But I'm neutral on that aspect of her character, really. It's not her most important characteristic.

Quote:
Anything else?


Nope. You're dismissed. :happy:

How can you not love Makoto? :mako:

What I love most about her character is that she appears to be a rough tomboy when in reality she is actually very feminine which is a cool little twist to the character. It is also a lesson in itself, being that you shouldn't judge people by how you perceive them if you don't really know them. And she kicks ass!

I don't hate her, but Makoto doesn't really do much plot-wise outside of being heavy muscle and a cook. Most of the time, she's just... there. And the ex-boyfriend bit was really just an excuse to have Makoto act goofy around cute boys (a gag most famously recycled for Brock in Pokemon).

Yes I do. Although, I don't recall her having super strength...unless you mean the basic abilities most anime characters seem to posses, but I don't remember her lifting cars or anything...plus she was outmatched by Haruka before....meh.

:mako: was able to break the ice she was trapped in when :ami: used Shine Aqua Illusion.

Considering that a plush toy of Jupiter-chan is still my avatar on most sites and my new blog, I think I'd be lying if I didn't say I favor Mako-chan. Just a tad.

Makoto is in the my top 3 favorites. I relate so much to how she struggles with balancing her feminine and masculine side and how insecure she is about it(it took me years to accept I just didn't fit the girly/tomboy labels. That I'm just an average girl). I love that aspect of her character and kept from being the typical tomboy type character. In fact, I see her as being just as feminine as the other girls and have a hard time trying to see her as the "tomboy of the group" despite that technically being a part of her role.

I admire and envy Mako-chan's independence(there's no way I could have lived on my own at just 14), her optimism despite losing her parents and dealing loneliness growing up because of her "tough" image, and her loyalty to the people she cares about. I'm perceptive like Mako-chan and end up being the one people come to for problems(most of them strangers who have told me that I look like "someone they can talk to without being judged"). I also admire and evny how she's so good at being domestic(I'm like Usagi when it comes anything like that). I like how she's the big sister to everyone.

All these traits about Mako-chan make me feel so sorry for her because of how she has it just as bad as Minako when it comes to love. It also makes me hate how after Classic, she became this generic character who only served to add extra muscle and keep Usagi's stomach full(well, her "talents" and the running gag of her "old sempai" was funny :lol: ). Mako-chan got shafted so bad(had to share episodes with Usagi and Minako, transformations and attacks got cut the most, got over shadowed by Haruka as the "toughest senshi", and just try to find pictures compared to the other senshi. Still not as bad as Hotaru and Setsuna sadly). Luckily, this is only the anime and she's just as important as the others in the manga(Mako-chan has beautiful manga art that showed off her femininity way better than the anime ever did).

finally i see one for lita/makoto. well she's the girl of my dreams if only someone like her existed in my life. she's smart, classy, beautiful, strong-hearted and an optimistic lil lady. i love her for a bunch of reasons and i know she may have some problems such as depression getting to her but if she did existed, i would do my best to help her through it and make her realize how much i truly love her and that i will always be there for her.

I love Makoto, the fact she's used as an example that interests need not have a gender really speaks to me as a girl who'll follow up a Saw film with an episode of My Little Pony and who will listen to Rob Zombie on her pink headphones. I really wish we got more screen time with her because her character is just rich with possibilities.

I always think the masculine & feminine aspects of her personality are to compensate for her loss of both parents.

And I'd like her to also be more gangster-girl-like in the show. :)

I don't really care for Mako-chan, except in PGSM.

I do like her. I have alot in common with her. Even in looks. I'm very tall with brown wavy hair. And her Sailor fuku even has pink, which my favorite color! :D

Definitely! I love her kindness and her motherly attitude - plus, she's cute! <3
I like her temper - she really is the same as me in that aspect. Her cooking and strength are amazing! She's my fave inner. She's just so loveable! <3

I didnt like her in PGSM much though, because to me she was just flat .__.
But manga+anime=epicness.

Not really. I think she overdoes it with the senior thing, not even Minako does this with her ex.

Actually, Makoto was able to hurt Haruka, so I think that comparison is a bit... exaggerated. :lol:


Yes, I like Makoto. She is my favourite Senshi after Saturn and Pluto.
