Hanime on Anime

O.K., I’ve been doing some thinking.  I had a hard time trying to pick this month’s Character of the Month.  There were a few good characters that hadn’t already won the title that I really loved. It was so hard to choose!  So, after some long, hard thinking, I decided to pick all of them (hey, this is my month of favorites and it is my blog, so I think I’m entitled to call most of the shots here)!  This month, the title will be shared by three characters!  That is, one of each from the three posts in my event of favorite characters.  And those characters are… Cynthia ( Pokemon franchise) The Major ( Hellsing Ultimate ) Sesshomaru ( Inuyasha ) And since I’ve already explained why I like these characters so much in all three of my posts, I think I’ll skip that part and end this week’s post here (I know, it’s a really short post, but still, I don’t have any more that I could say).  So congratulations Cynthia, the Major, and Sessh...

Howdy, howdy folks!  Welcome to the third part of my month full of favorite characters!  Thus far, if you’ve been following this event this long, you’ve seen good guys and bad guys alike.  But what about those guys who go both ways?  There are some guys and girls in anime who act like villains but are actually the good guys.  There are also other characters that are not necessarily evil, but they often butt heads with the protagonist.  That’s right!  This week, I’m talking about anti-heroes and rivals!  And unlike last week’s list, this week’s post was by far the longest.  So without further ado, let’s talk about my favorite anti-heroes and rivals, starting off with anti-heroes! (WARNING: O.K., if you’ve come this far, you know there will be spoilers.)   Anti-Heroes Tetsuo Shima ( Akira ) Ok, if you’ve been following my blog since February of 2015, you knew this guy was coming.  If I could describe how much I lo...

Greetings, one and all!  Welcome to week 2 of my Month of Favorite Characters!  This week’s list of characters is actually a very short one.  It has only two characters-you heard me.  But let me just say these two are some of my all time favorites and could not think of any better characters (at least for this week)!  Anyways, this week covers the dark side of anime- and no, not tentacle-related hentai!  I’m talking about characters who are just plain bad.  That’s right!  I’m talking about villains!  And come to think of it, these two characters in particular are not only some of the smartest villains in anime (according to WatchMojo.com ), but I’ve actually featured them in a previous post back in 2014.  So enough build up and let’s talk about my two favorite villains! (WARNING, again: This post contains spoilers!) The Major ( Hellsing Ultimate ) First up is everyone’s favorite Nazi in anime, the Major!  What can’t I...

Howdy, howdy folks!  Today kicks off my special event for September with a month full of my favorite characters!  You see them at the forefront of all anime shows kicking butt, causing drama, and whatever else moves the plot along.  Who am I talking about? I’m talking about the protagonist, or simply put, the hero.  To start off my Favorite Characters month, this week I’ll be talking about some of my favorite heroes and one major supporting character in anime- I know that supporting character thing was random, but believe me, she’s pretty awesome!  (WARNING: This post contains spoilers!) Vash the Stampede ( Trigun ) Starting off my list of favorite heroes is the $$60,000,000,000.00 man himself.  Among the characters featured for this week, if not the whole month, Vash is pretty unique.  When I named Vash as my Character of the Month for November of 2014, I said that Vash was dynamic in that he played several different parts in Trigun ....
