An Otaku's Guide to Anime

Favorite Characters

Bob's picks:

Usui Takumi (Kaichou Wa Maid Sama)
-Ok, so besides the obvious fact that he's super duper insanely HAWT, he IS SO PURE. Also, he's a perverted alien form planet pheromones. He's so loyal to Misaki, sooooooo protective of her. Yet, at the same time he knows that she is strong enough to protect herself. HE'S PERFECT. That's right. Zero flaws. Usually this would be something I'd dislike due to it being unrealistic, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO USUI NOTHING MATTERS ANYMORE. OK I'm gonna stop now...

Misaki Ayuzawa(KWMS)
-The other half of Usui Takumi. She's headstrong, stubborn, hardworking and impulsive. She is definitely my role model, and absolutely hilarious to watch. Also SHE'S SO PRETTY. I mean um... If I were a lesbian I'd date it. I understand that she'd actually have to be real for me to date her but... It's my review I can do whatever I want. Another great trait she has is that she cares for everyone, even when the guys in her school were little assholes. Annnnnd those blushes she has around Usui is absolutely cute, um those punches too.

Noriko Sonozaki (Kiznaiver)
-She cool, calm and collected. Well, that's due to the pain killers injected into her but... Her innocence and her way of over-simplifying things are endearing. She's afraid to be alone (a fear alot of us have) and so she takes on the pain of 29 other people... Ouch My heart.

Kikyo(Inuyasha)
- She is probably my favourite female character of all time aside from ahem ahem. Kikyo is a kind and she was very sympathetic toward everyone, even her enemies. This was seen when she tended to Onigumo's  despite him being a bandit. Also, if you watched inuyasha you would what how much of a little shit he turned out to become. After her death and resurrection, she became more calculative and pessimistic. Almost as if the tragic circumstances of her death had took away any magic she had in her life. She no longer trusted anyone (my heart ouch). I feel so much for her to be honest, she definitely deserved more than the writer gave her. Spoiler alert: She didn't get her happy ending.

Chelsea, Lubbock, Akame (Akame Ga Kill)
- To save time, I decided to lump these three together. Let's start with Chelsea, her carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude is part of her charm, she's also witty and sarcastic and is not pass teasing Mine. Her method of assassination (needless and makeup) was SO cool and one of my favourites behind Akame, then Lubbock. Her death was so freaking sad I'm still hungover that by the way. Then Lubbock, he basically is the male version of Chelsea, but his method of assassination was using strings. It's way more badass than it sounds. He's also incredibly loyal claiming that his love for Najenda helped him withstand any pain when he was being tortured. Lastly, Akame. The cool-headed swordswomen of Night rain, she has her cute moments though (her love for food). Her love for her sister touched me alot, Akame loved her so much she was willing to kill her rather than let her continue killing innocent people. Her method of assassination is using a sword that could kill through poison (AKA one cut and you die).

Kouichi Sakakibara (Another)
-I really like him because of his personality. He was willing to be friends with Mei even after being warned not to, and I guess this act of friendship was what got him into my top favourites. He's so pure I could cry. If you watched Another, you'd know what I mean.

Kirigiri Kyoko (Danganronpa)
-Her personality is the basically the same as Sonozaki's. She sacrificed her life for the mc to live, I forgot his name by the way. It might be Naegi. I can't remember. She's also incredibly observant and smart, she was the reason the class didn't wrongfully accuse Naegi in the first place.

I have so many favourites this could go on forever. I'll save the rest for next Saturday!

And now, for someone completely different (Kan's fav):

Oh, and uh, spoilers heads-up!

Akabane Karma (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu)
- Omg, can I say how badass and awesome he is?? Not only is he a little eccentric with those mustard-and-ketchup-shoving-up-his-nose situation, he's actually pretty smart when he's the first one who actually slightly injured Koro-sensei! I really love his interaction with the entire class and especially Nagisa during the showdown with that little smirk on his face. Being cheeky, smart, rebel material, well what can I say? That's a full package of my favourite character.

Chiaki Nanami (Danganronpa 3: TEOHPA - Despair Arc)
- When I first watched someone playing the second game of Danganronpa, I immediately fell in love with her, despite Hinata being the actual protagonist. Her gaming addiction was really adorable, and the way she speaks in a small monotonous-like way was REALLY CUTE. When she was discovered as the traitor I WAS INTERNALLY BAWLING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTUALLY MY FAV CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE GAME. And when the anime came out, the interaction between her and Hinata was really cute!! It was so lovable when she asked the whole class to play some games with her despite her anti-social personality~ And the despair sisters had to actually ruin that ;;;; Chiaki x Hinata forever

Allen Walker (D.Gray-Man/HALLOW)
- The first few anime I've ever watched. And, the first few protagonist that I really like. Not only is he a big eater in cute ways (but it's actually due to his Innocence), he's actually pretty a big-mouth pft. I like how he comebacks with his usual snarky remarks to Kanda, and complains about how bad Cross Marian treats him with huge debts. But still, he would always sacrifice his life to protect his friends from the Order! When something huge actually happens to him himself, he would escape from his "home" and refrain to go back to his friends even though they wanted to help him as well. I really love his interactions between Lenalee, Kanda, Lavi, and other staff in the Order! I really do hope the manga continues, though. ;;;

Okumura Siblings: Rin and Yukio (Ao no Exorcist)
- IM SO HYPED FOR THE SECOND SEASON IN 2017!! The Okumura siblings are really a cute little bunch of argh asdf--- Born from Satan and yet, they're still some badass and hot sons (internally crying) ;;; Okay, so, Rin. He's our protagonist, maybe not lovable, but he still kick some ass~ He's also actually willing to sacrifice his life for his friends in the Exorcist class and also being the older brother he is, he's actually (kind of) looking out for his brother. Really like his honest side though, when he revealed he's the Satan's son right in front of his friends in the battle with Amaimon. Next, Yukio. The youngest, but acts like the oldest. Smarter than his brother, and even looks after his older brother more. But that's why I like him. <3 eventhoughhe'sactuallyquiteahoebut-- Really looking forward more to their interactions in the upcoming anime in 2017!!
