Sometimes I don't like the guy/ponytail thing (like if it's REALLY long, but sometimes it looks good, like for Allen Walker or Ed Ulric), but it works for Makoto. He's one of my favorite characters. I like how he helps Rin with contacting Reiko even though he was busy looking for Sadao in the Abyss. He wanted to break the Abyss curse too but *someone* wouldn't let him....
