Okay, he's probably one of the most unliked characters of the series, but this singing slayer of bad news has his charm, especially in his song about ACROSS' condition near the end of the anime series.

What do you think about Key?  Do you like him, dislike him?  What are his quirks that you find unique?

His cheesiest line gets me cracking up almost every time I hear it, when he hits on Excel.

"My name is Key.  I am a Key.  Please, won't you be... my Key Hold?"

Sure.  Just tell your friends you couldn't cook Menchi because you were too busy getting high.  They'll understand.

Key can't stand the guy (have a thing about men wearing leather bondage suits) How dare he try and hit on Excel, it's a good thing she can control her animal urges while he's around  :lol:

I loves me some Key! Uncreativity needs fanservice, too.

I don't like Key, personally, but then I'd be hard pressed to come up with any male anime characters I like

However, I do wish I could rattle off lines like his introduction speech, and his farewell speech off the cuff, that'd be nifty.

Hah.  I'm not a big Key fan either, but he played his role well in that one episode, especially how he was... practicing during the night which drew Excel mad.

I've always seen Key as a fruit-loop, not heavy metal material.

Yes! Fangirls need fanservice too!  :D

I liked the Key episode. Though as I said before, it kinda helps to be in the demographic that episode seemed to be going after. I didn't much like the pool/swimsuit episode, but I wasn't in the demo for that one. XD

I liked that episode, but Key himself deseved a good slap in face

Well you could have if you'd agree to wear...oh wait, you're cleverly shortening the word demographic, rather than expressing a desire to demonstrate the episode.

Oh, tying Key to the end song was a nice touch too.

It's not the demographic. The pool episode just wasn't all that funny.

Damn it, they're really not going to let us appear are they?  A pool filled with everything fan servicy, including airline stewardesses, a chibi-moon assassin, and it's not funny?

I wonder if a key type fan service episode would have been funnier?

Fan service isn't funny, fan service is fan service.

I mean, it had its moments, like when Cosette gave Excel the sandwich and she went into fantasy sequence mode, but you gotta admit it was a pretty mediocre episode.
