Top 5 Anime Protagonists

Top 5 Anime Protagonists
Written by ClayDragon

Much like an anime’s opening, the main protagonist is usually central to people’s decision as to whether or not to watch the show. An awesome hero will make the show more interesting and enjoyable, whereas a badly-written protagonist will end up being boring and unlikable. With this in mind, I’ve constructed a short list of my top 5 anime protagonists. For the purpose of this list, the word ‘protagonist’ refers to the main character of a series, and not necessarily their moral alignment.

Fairy Tail Chapter 354 Review - Not Every Party Ends Well

Written by Shiggins

The potential is rising!

This strangely titled chapter starts off with Natsu and the gang deciding to ignore the fact they just faced so much chaos and got tons of creepy foreshadowing, and have a party instead with the giants. Everyone catches up while the giants show their gratitude by doing nothing because they are assholes probably. The gang discuss everything they found out in this arc about Tartaros and the Devil Slayer who froze the village.

Bleach 551 Review – “The Burnt Offerings”

Bleach 551 Review – “The Burnt Offerings”

So it looks like all Soul Reapers are insanely resilient.

In the Captain-Commander’s room, Haschwalth notes that a kido barrier has been placed between him and Shunsui and Nanao, preventing him from entering. When he questions them, it’s revealed that Nanao placed the barrier, and that only she can use it. As such, Haschwalth deduces that since the other Captains can’t use it, then they’re at a disadvantage, and can’t even fight back properly.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Jugo

Favorite personality trait:

Kindness. I really like this side of him. He’s always avoiding a fight and never wants to hurt or kill anyone, but that all changes when he loses it. It’s an interesting change in personality, but I prefer his kind side.

Favorite relationship:

Sasuke. The way he trusts Sasuke and obeys him no matter what, is amazing. I also like the reason why it acts like this. Luckily Sasuke really is able to keep him in check.

Top 10 Anime Openings

Top 10 Anime Openings

Written by: Claydragon

Anime openings are one of the more important aspects of watching a new series. They can clue you in on what to expect, and in some cases can even determine whether or not you choose to watch the series at all. As such, I decided to compile a list of my top 10 anime openings, along with a brief paragraph explaining what I like about them. This list does only cover openings from shows that I’ve watched, which is why Attack on Titan’s first opening and Blue Exorcist’s second opening are not on this list. Also, as will be standard for my future lists, only one opening per show will be chosen. If you want to listen to/watch the opening, just click on the name of the song in brackets. 

Fairy Tail Chapter 353 Review - A New Slayer Enters

And with that, I now see the true purpose of this arc.

So as predicted, Atlas Flame isn't here to stay. In fact, he's already dead. This is Wendy's Milky Way spell which she used to talk to Zirconis' spirit during the previous arc. Sadly, his mind is a bit frayed right now because of all the ice so he's having trouble keeping his words and sentences together. Thankfully, that doesn't mean he isn't helpful.

The Dementia Has Clearly Set In

Bleach 550 Review – “Blazing Bullets”

Bleach 550 Review – “Blazing Bullets”

Seriously, Soul Society’s position just gets worse and worse.

After the big battles between Sui-Féng and BG9, and Hitsugaya against Bazz-B, this chapter starts off with Kurotsuchi engaging Askin… in a sassing match. Askin declares that it will take too much time to fight against Kurotsuchi, so he gives up. Apparently, he likes to get things done quickly, and so begins to leave, only to pause and ask if Kurotsuchi is going to chase after him. Not falling for the obvious taunt, Mayuri is about to talk to Askin when he feels Sui-Féng’s spirit energy. It turns out that Yhwach anticipated that the Captains whose Bankais were stolen would still get stronger, and Askin reveals that the Captains are apparently a credible threat.

Carnival Phantasm Anime Review

Carnival Phantasm Review

It doesn't make sense, even in context.

Let’s make a spinoff series of Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. Let’s include all of the main characters of both series. Let’s take all the drama and tension, and replace it with over-exaggerated personalities and humour. Hell, throw in some talking cat things while we’re at it.

But why is it so fun?

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Ino

Favorite personality trait:

Kindness. I know she can be harsh and stuff, but she can also be very kind. Like when she helped Sakura get more confidence. She cares a lot about her friends and will do anything to make them cheer up again. I really like that side of her.

Favorite relationship:

Sakura. I know they see each other more as rivals than friends, but they have a strong bond nonetheless. Ino helped Sakura when she was being bullied and made her more confident about herself. Even now they still try to outdo the other in everything, like Ino didn’t like it when Sakura became her superior while training under Tsunade, and Sakura loved it. But aside this rivalry, they know they can always count on each other.

Favorite fight:

I actually liked all her fights. The way she works together with Choji and Shikamaru is just amazing. They know each others’ abilities so well and always know how to train themselves to keep up with the others.

Favorite jutsu:

Mind Body Switch Technique. I know it’s the Yamanaka’s signature move and Ino has been using is since ever, but I still like it.

Favorite outfit:

I prefer her genin outfit. I actually dislike her new one.

Favorite random thing:

Her knowledge about flowers. The way she compared Sakura to a flower while trying to cheer her up, was just cute.

-----

Personal thoughts:

She can be bossy and act tough, but in the end she’s very kind and sensitive. When this side of her was shown, I really started liking her. Her skills are amazing and I think she’s doing a great job being in a team with Shikamaru and Choji. Her bond with Sakura is also very interesting, I would like to see where they end up.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Shikamaru

Favorite personality trait:

His sense of commitment to his friends and Konoha. He would do anything to protect his friend of end his missions with success. Even sacrifice himself.

Favorite relationship:

Choji. I love their strong bond. Choji would do anything for Shikamaru and the other way around. He always knows how to talk to Choji and give him more confidence in his own abilities.
