Also, yes – I totally forgot about this series of posts I was supposed to be doing, even though it’s been on the front page of this blog for a while. \u00a0Heck, I don’t check this blog much anyway. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

25. Koyuki (Beck)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Koyuki is the most wimpy-looking hero of a sports anime that I’ve ever seen. \u00a0He looks like a pushover in episode one, and he still looks like a pushover in episode 26. \u00a0But there’s no denying how incredibly awesome he becomes. \u00a0He starts out small, matures, and becomes one hell of a star.<\/p>\n

Why Koyuki? \u00a0He is the most believable sports character out there (even if suddenly rising to the top isn’t very believable). \u00a0Sena Kobayakawa? \u00a0He undergoes such rapid development that it’s hard to believe he was ever a gofer. \u00a0Akagi? \u00a0Uh. \u00a0In any case, Koyuki actually sucks in the beginning. \u00a0He sucks a lot at guitar. \u00a0He is no Yui, who miraculously learns how to play in two minutes.<\/p>\n

Hard work definitely pays off, and we see it in Koyuki. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

24. Madao (Gintama)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Taizo Hasegawa is the ultimate loser. \u00a0In an anime where episodes often end with a reflection on life, the one man who tries to chase his dreams and follow his own morals ends up the loser.<\/p>\n

Madao does everything right, follows all of the morals that Gintoki talks about, yet still ends up accomplishing nothing. \u00a0He is in a perpetual midlife crisis, spurred by numerous incidents that he is dragged into for little to no reason at all.<\/p>\n

Apparently, some good people never come out on top… but it’s damn funny anyway. \u00a0Hats off to you, king of losers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

23. M<\/span>asa (Seto no Hanayome)<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Seto no Hanayome ranks up there on my list as one of the best comedies ever (I gave it a ten out of ten), but it wasn’t any one character that made the series spring to life (in comparison, Kannagi’s Nagi made up 99% of the series) – rather, it was the entire cast of eccentric characters, combined with one hell of a storyline that made the series so great. \u00a0And who better to represent this series than Masa, the subject of the\u00a0best running gag<\/a> I’ve ever seen?<\/p>\n

I know I’m not being fair here, but in my opinion, Seto no Hanayome has <\/em>to go on this list somewhere.<\/p>\n

22. L (Death Note)<\/span><\/h3>\n

L is a last-minute addition to this list. \u00a0I just finished Death Note a few days ago, and despite how much of a disappointment the second half was, I loved the show.<\/p>\n

But going back to the disappointing second half idea… there was (SPOILER ALERT LOLS)<\/strong> no L. \u00a0L is what made the show exciting to watch. \u00a0Near and Mello are stupid names for stupid characters whose stupidity can never match the coolness and non-stupidity of the great L.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

21. Rena Ryuuguu (Higurashi)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rena is<\/strong> horror. \u00a0The first arc of Higurashi burned that impression into my brain, for better or for worse, and I’m creeped out whenever I see a picture of her.<\/p>\n

Hell, I’m creeped out right now. \u00a0I feel like that picture just wants to take me home and slash me into a million pieces.<\/p>\n

And there goes my attention span. \u00a0I can’t think of anything else to write, so I’ll just leave it at this. \u00a016 – 20 post due sometime next year, most likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
