Both hands on the clock point at 12 again, signaling Y/N’s departure from the NCT dorms. As their newest and youngest member, Y/N was thought of as the sweetest, purest, and on top of all, most respectable member of NCT. He graduated Neo High with honors, was friendly on campus and auditioned for SM only once, unlike the sea of trainees who had to audition for more than three times. Because of this, he was viewed as this innocent prince once SM told the boys that he would be joining NCT. But, just like any cliché scenario, none of them knew of what Y/N did in the dead of night, when the moonlight shone on the city and no one knew him, not even by his silhouette.
✦ 𝙨𝙞𝙭 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 ✦
“Has anyone noticed Y/N during the weekends recently? He usually isn't sleeping on his bed when he’s supposed to be.” Shotaro asks, genuinely worried about him.
“He probably just goes to the comfort room and stays in there for the whole night or something, no biggie.” Jeno says sarcastically, shoving a mouthful of popcorn into his mouth as he blabs his mouth.
“Hm,” Jisung mumbles, skeptical of Y/N’s actions, “there is definitely something up with him.” Jisung wasn’t one to get jealous often but with the addition of Y/N into NCT, the beloved, innocent, has-never-committed-a-sin Y/N, the attention wasn’t on him anymore. He was a tad bit jealous, but he would never admit that out loud.
“So what do you wanna do about it then?” Jeno replies, still staring straight at the television playing Titanic, “Confront him about it? It’s not like he’s gonna budge. What are you gonna do then, force him to tell you? Huh?”
“Quit being an asshole Jen.” Jaemin slaps Jeno sitting beside him, a frown on his face.
“How about we just, you know, pretend to sleep and wait till he gets up and leaves, then follow him?” Sungchan suggests, equally as worried as Shotaro. Both the former and the latter know how hard it is to be new members of a group that has already debuted. So, they felt the need to let Y/N know that he didn’t have to keep leaving the dorms, for an escape or whatever.
“Then it’s decided,” Jeno speaks up, finally peeling his eyes off the television, “tonight, we find out what the fuck Y/N has been doing for the past 6 weeks.”
✦ 𝙨𝙞𝙭 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 ✦
Y/N rises up from his bed, making extra effort not to make a noise. He grabs the hickory duffle bag from under his bed and unzips it to check if he’s had everything for his night out ready. He zips it back just seconds after and drapes it over his shoulder, getting ready to leave. He pulls his hoodie up and ties his black converses before opening the wooden door and leaving the Dream Dorms, oblivious to the boys’ plans.
Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, Sungchan, Shotaro and Jisung are led from the warmth of their dorms into the cold autumn night as they follow the figure wearing a black hoodie in front of them. The 8 boys walk for what seems like hours, crossing street to street, going through alley to alley, main road to main road as they do nothing but stay in silence and tail the (H/C) boy in front of them. They don’t know how many neon signs they’ve passed by now, only noticing how red ones become more and more evident as they venture deeper into the city.
“I think we’re in the red light district.” Haechan blurts, being met with shushes from the 7 other boys he was with. This doesn’t go unnoticed by Y/N of course, who pauses and turns around, only to look at a dark, empty street behind him. Y/N furrows his brows, confused, as he resumes his amble towards his destination.
Hiding behind garbage bins, the 8 boys sit in disgust as they hide from Y/N, scared of being caught halfway through their stalking session. Haechan peeks his head out and speaks up once again, but this time quietly, “The coast is clear.” All 8 stand up synchronized, noses scrunched as they glare at Haechan.
“No shit sherlock,” Chenle whisper-shouts, hues of scarlet and crimson decorating his face, “it’s red everywhere! Of course we’re in the red light district!”
The others giggle as they stare at Chenle.
“No, you dumbass,” Haechan replies calmly, “a red light district is like a place full of clubs and.. you know…” He trails off as the other seven’s brows furrow.
“Let’s not jump into conclusions,” Sungchan cuts him off, remaining positive, “let’s just keep following him.”
They sneak behind Y/N once again, trying their best not to get caught. It was only a minute or two before they saw Y/N turn a corner. The 8 slowly creeped up on the opening of the alley, just in time to see Y/N enter a building with an indigo sign, which stood out in the sea of bright, neon red signs.
“You don’t think… he’s a…” Jaemin spoke up as all of them shared a glance. The eight of them stood in silence, too scared to speak up, under the illusion that Y/N may be a male stripper. That wouldn’t be a problem but he was… 17.
“Only one way to find out.”
♪♪♪♪...
The deafening music boomed from the speakers, resonating into the indigo aesthetic of the club. Contrary to the word, this side of the club was the opposite of aesthetic: sweaty bodies stuck together, giving the 8 boys an unsettling feeling. They had almost started contemplating on leaving the said club, but not before Jaemin spots a quiet section, free of the sweaty bodies grinding against each other. It wasn’t free of people, per se, as there were a few people making out here and there, but it definitely wasn’t as congested as the indigo dance floor they had previously stood on. They saw vacant seats at the bar and, just like anyone who had been walking and hiding for 30 minutes, took a seat. All 8 of them had their backs turned away from the bar as a familiar voice spoke up.
“What can I get for you?” Y/N asks, a smile forced on his face. Y/N’s blue velvet suit shimmers under the spinning disco ball, exhibiting various accents of blue. Azure, cobalt and lapis and sapphire compliment Y/N’s face as he looks down, glass in one hand and towel on the other, wiping. He’s wearing nothing but a blue velvet blazer as a top, chest out as if he was as the beach. The boys turn around, mouths agape and unable to speak. They lock eyes with Y/N when the latter looks up due to the long, uncomfortable silence, eyes wide open, his body frozen in shock.
Attempting to cover his exposed chest, Y/N drops the glass and immediately places his hands flat on his chest, the feeling of fear, embarrassment and surprise devouring him.
“Y/N what the fuck?” Jeno blows up, completely losing his self control, “What the fuck are you doing in this… this.. strip club? You’re sev-”
Y/N unsticks his palms from his chest and re-sticks it onto Jeno’s mouth, shushing the older. “Shhh. let’s…” he pans his eyes from left to right, staring into his hyung’s disappointed faces, “let’s talk outside. Wait for me.”
The boys head towards the exit as they pass by the cramped dance floor once again, the silver disco ball spinning endlessly above them. They exit the club, the chilly breeze of the autumn night slapping them on the face once again as they step out. They wait in silence, leaning on the wall, occasionally staring at the indigo sign above them. Just as Chenle was about to break the silence, the cushioned doors of the club open slowly, revealing a boy in a more decent outfit. Y/N steps out, head burning holes into the stone floor. As soon as the doors of the club seal shut, all 8 of them went into chaos.
“What the fuck?”
“Is this what you’ve been doing for the past 6 weeks?”
“What are you doing with your life?”
“I can’t believe you’re actually a fucking stripper. What made SM recruit a stripper?”
He let himself get scolded but got caught off guard when Jisung uttered those words. “Wait, stripper?” Y/N looks up from the now-molten floor, eyebrows furrowed, tears pricking the corner of his eyes, “I— how could you even call me that?”
“Don’t act like you didn't have your chest on display before we got there.” Jisung replies, disgust written on his face, “Is this really what you've been doing for the past month and a half? Whoring yourself out? I guess you love people’s attention on your body don’t you?”
The gates of the dam that had held his tears finally gave out, spilling endlessly as Y/N tried to find his words, “I— that’s just the uniform for us bartenders… I work in a club so… we’re required to—”
“Exactly Y/N!” Jaemin shouts, “You’re 17 for fucks sake, why the fuck are you working at a bar? You’re a fucking idol! You're going to be publicly announced as a new member next month! What if people start recognizing you, huh? Then what?”
“I-I’m sorry hyungs. I—” tears gushed from Y/N’s orbs, coating his face, “I just did this for money.” Disgusted looks turned to looks of confusion as the 8 boys stared at Y/N, puzzled.
“M-my mom is in the hospital, she’s dealing with stage iii breast cancer and,” Y/N says, shaking, unable to complete a sentence without stopping, “and my family couldn’t afford the hospital bills, and the company wasn’t paying me yet– and I– I couldn’t wait any longer so when I saw a poster one day, looking for a bartender, I applied and lied about my age. Hyungs I’m really sorry, I- I didn’t do it because- because I liked putting my body on display. To be honest I was really uncomfortable but– but I would do anything for my mom and—”
Y/N pauses as he feels a warmth envelope him, curing his heart’s hypothermia. “We’re sorry. You know we can always lend you a hand, right?” Jaemin says, regretting his thoughts. Renjun adds to the two boys hugging, then Shotaro, then Chenle, and soon enough, all 9 of them are one; all hugging it out in a giant fluff ball, in the aged alleyway under the moonlight.
“I’m sorry,” Jisung states, voice softer as ever, “for calling you that. And, I know your mom is strong, she’ll get through this.”
Y/N felt warmer, and suddenly, under the moonlight, all his worries and doubts vanished. Nothing was more calming than a hug from the 8 boys he loved the most. They stayed like that for as long as Y/N needed, the moonlight’s luminescence lingering in the air.
End.

My Favourite Character From Every Anime I’ve Ever Seen
Oh my god I’ve been waiting so long to make this! Right, so this post is exactly what you see in the title, but I’m gonna lay down some rules first:
Movies and stuff are allowed
I will only be including things that I have listed as completed on MAL
Generally, this can be considered one entry per franchise, so for example not every season of Kinmosa will get a favourite character – it’ll just be my favourite Kinmosa character
However, there will be exceptions to this rule, namely JoJo but you’ll see others too
That’s it for rules. This is done in the order of me going down my MAL, which means it’ll technically be in alphabetical order, though for some things I’ll stick to their localised title which will destroy the alphabetical order but it’s the easiest way for me to do it. Frankly I ain’t really gonna make much effort to justify any of my choices because fucking hell would that take a long time and not be worth the effort. Besides pictures won over no pictures so this post is already really long and I don’t want to make it even longer.
Alright, we ready to go? If you’re still not clear on the rules then just, shut up and read and you’ll find out.
Akanesasu Shoujo – Asuka Tsuchimiya
Not a brilliant start to this list lol. But she’s definitely the most memorable and well developed of all the cast, plus she’s voiced by my fuckin girl Tomoyo Kurosawa. And I mean technically Seriousuka is still Asuka Tsuchimiya so I’m getting one of the other best characters from this show too.
Akira – Shotaro Kaneda
I’ve only seen this once, thought it was pretty good, liked Kaneda but didn’t even remember his first name is Shotaro so like.
Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de – Tejirov
Gear is literally Sonic but this dude was way funnier
Assassination Classroom – Nagisa Shiota
I’ve only seen season 1 and some of season 2 but Nagisa was neat, liked his aesthetic.
Blue Exorcist – Kuro
Ngl I watched this show one time around 6 years ago and I can only remember 4 of the characters and the cat was my favourite one.
Asagao to Kase-san – Yui Yamada
She a cutie.
Asobi Asobase – Hanako Honda
She has the cutest design and funniest voice.
Banana Fish – Shorter Wong
Shorter has the privilege of fucking dying before the show and all of its characters turn to shit. Actually Sing is pretty good for the whole thing, even when the rest of it turns shit, but Shorter was better.
Black Rock Shooter – Black Rock Shooter
Black Rock Shooter
Blend S – Hideri Kanzaki
Funny meme boy voiced by Sora Tokui, one of the hottest characters on this list, pretty funny.
Boku no Pico – CoCo
I’m sorry everyone.
Citrus – Yuzu Aihara
Definitely the best part of the show, love that she has so many different outfits and hairstyles too.
Comic Girls – Tsubasa Katsuki
Love me a good bit of shounen and short-haired waifus, plus blue is my favourite character, so she’s like the most fun character in this show.
Death Note – L Lawliet
Is there anyone whose favourite character isn’t L?
Dragon Ball – Future Trunks
Eh I’m lumping the entire Dragon Ball franchise under one entry. Future Trunks is best boy by far, great character, incredible design, unforgettable introduction, such a badass, etc.
Elfen Lied – Kurama
Every character in this show was complete shit, but I felt he was the least shit and actually had something of an arc and decent stakes in the narrative which is always nice.
Endro – Yulia Chardiet
Pretty sure there’s no official romanization of her name so that spelling could be wrong. Anyway! She’s definitely got the best design of the cast and while Mei is voiced by Inori Minase it’s not like her cutest voice whereas Yusha always sounds cute so. Genki idiot MCs aren’t usually my faves in this type of show but idk Yusha’s just a lot more endearing than the rest of them.
Flip Flappers – Cocona Kokomine
Right so here’s the deal, of like the three possible characters I would realistically choose here, Cocona’ s probably the least well written in that she has the greatest amount of not well written moments. So I thought if not Cocona, my favourite must be Papika, then I remembered Yayaka existed and she’s pretty great though. But then I kinda thought about the fact that just because she has the most not good moments, doesn’t mean I didn’t really appreciate her good moments. Cocona is why Flip Flappers is so good and her journey of self discovery is really cool and relatable and stuff, I love her. Really miss her glasses. Really really want a season 2 but I know it’ll never happen.
Fullmetal Alchemist – Ling Yao/Greed
Really cool character, loved his arc, this guy’s really fun to watch and very unique among the Homunculi.
Fushigi na Somera-chan – Shizuku Tendo
Pretty sure she’s the one who said homosexuality is a sin, and that’s a funny line in an anime.
Gakkougurashi – Kurumi Ebisuzawa
Absolute waifu goddess, shovels are fun and her design is brilliant.
Day Break Illusion – Meltina Melvis
All of the main characters were really insufferable and forgettable a lot of the time so this kinda cute minor character without enough screentime to be annoying and also is voiced by Nao Touyama kinda has to be the best one.
Gochuumon wa Usaki Desu Ka? – Chino Kafuu
Kafuu Chino is a funny name, she’s absolutely adorable and funny, Inori Minase’s best ever vocal performance, she’s got great chemistry with all of the characters, and most of all, Mahou Shoujo Kafuu Chino.
Cells at Work – White Blood Cell U-1146
Red Blood Cell’s great and platelets are so adorable but this dude’s just too much fun all the time, it’s really cute how he kind of falls for Red Blood Cell as well and stuff, I loved him.
Kiniro Mosaic – Aya Komichi
Kinmosa is the anime that got me back into anime after like a 2 or 3 year hiatus and Aya was immediately the most fun character for me and also the best written in terms of like being a person, she’s still just a tsundere but I love her.
Henkei Shoujo – Unnamed Main Character
Yeah I cannot for the fucking life of me find this girl’s name or seiyuu or anything about her. I just know that she’s the cutest character in the show anyway, has the luxury of not transforming so is always cute, and wears a very pretty sundress in which she looks beautiful.
Hibike Euphonium – Kumiko Oumae
Duh. If you’ve ever heard me talk about Eupho you fucking know that I love Kumiko. I know I’m going overboard on italics here but I can’t exaggerate how fucking brilliant she is. I’ve described Kumiko as the most human character I’ve ever seen in anime and I still stand by that, she’s so amazingly well written all the time. Even in season 2 when her relationship dynamics become a bit quite not what I wanted to happen she was still well written and stuff. And of course, Tomoyo Kurosawa’s performance as Kumiko is the best vocal performance I’ve heard in any anime, so yeah Kumiko’s great. Worried for Chikai no Finale.
Liz and the Blue Bird – Mizore Yoroizuka
Is this cheating? Eh, nah, Hibike Euphonium isn’t in the title. I could actually cheat and mention Kumiko again, or give a shoutouts to Reina who plays a more active role than Kumiko, but just in the context of Liz alone, ignoring the rest of Eupho, Mizore’s hella the best. Absolute cutie, love her, love that movie, love Euphonium.
Hinamatsuri – Anzu
Definitely the best thing about the entire show, Anzu’s arc is really well written and emotional and stuff.
Kuroko’s Basketball – Ryota Kise
He’s so fucking coooooooooooooooool oh my god, fuckin perfect copy is hype as shit. He’s got a lot more chill than the rest of the Generation of Miracles so he was immediately a bit more likeable and it helps that he gets his game against Aomine in season 1 because like it means that this is the first time we’re rooting for a Generation of Miracles member (other than Kuroko I guess) and stuff he’s so fun. Definitely best blond boy ever
Howl’s Moving Castle – Howl
I don’t remember this movie tbh, I watched it once, kinda confused by it, it seems good, Howl was pretty hot and stuff, the end.
Iroduku: The World in Colours – Hitomi Tsukishiro
Shit character but she’s moe as fuck.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood – Robert E.O. Speedwagon
Big meme boy but he’s really wholesome and he has a lot of really good moments, such as his hot abs rescuing Zeppeli.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency – Joseph Joestar
Nigerundayo, Smokey!
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders – Jotaro Kujo
You know what he’s a pretty great character actually and plus this was my first exposure to Daisuke Ono so like.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable – Koichi Hirose
Literally who the fuck does not love Koichi-kun.
K-On – Azusa Nakano
Probably? By the time I post this list I’ll have changed my mind on this 1000 times.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War – Chika Fujiwara
Chika Dance is the reason I returned to this show after dropping it so.
Kill la Kill – Ira Gamagoori
Absolute unit.
Your Name – Mitsuha Miyamizu
Really good waifu, best character Shinkai’s ever written.
I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. – Sakura Yamauchi
She’s shit but everyone in this is shit and she’s just like, likeable enough to be the best of a bad bunch.
Kino’s Journey – Kino
I feel like this doesn’t take much explanation. Not that I’ve really explained any of these a whole lot but hey.
Boarding School Juliet – Weslia Chartreux
Holy shit remember this show? I didn’t. It was fine but wow I completely forgot it happened.
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon – Miss Kobayashi
Tohru, Kanna and Kobayashi are obviously the best written characters in this show but Kobayashi herself especially was really fun and well written, I love her a lot.
Koe no Katachi – Shouya Ishida
I’d probably prefer Shouko were it not for the fact that I was a bully in primary school for a bit so I related to Ishida and boy was that hard, great job movie you made me feel things.
KonoSuba – Megumin
Waga na wa Megumin ekusprosion amirite.
The Garden of Words – Yukari Yukino
She’s shit right, but she’s in Your Name and voiced by KanaHana so like she’s got some things going for her.
Little Witch Academia – Sucy Manbavaran
She’s fuckin great.
Love Live: School Idol Project – Maki Nishikino
Maki’s really cute
Love Live Sunshine – Riko Sakurauchi
I’ve actually written about her in way more depth if you wanna look for that
Made in Abyss – Nanachi
Nanachi has one really fuckin good arc holy shit it’s painful to watch though but it’s so good. Love their design as well.
Magical Girl Raising Project – Snow White
We’re finally in the magical girl territory! This is gonna be fun. Read my Top 16 MGRP Unmarked Characters to see why Snow White’s my favourite.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha – Fate Testarossa
Fate’s just, just incredible. It’s impossible to not immediately fall in love with her and then her backstory is so damn good and like her motivations are completely understandable and then she’s one of the best enemy-turned-friend characters I know I love her she’s so great I love her design I love Fate so much she’s definitely the best blonde and best twintailed waifu on this list I adore her.
ViVid Strike – Rinne Berlinetta
I feel like ViVid is disconnected enough from the rest of Nanoha to warrant its own entry. Plus I want an excuse to say that I love Rinne a lot and wanted to put her picture in here.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica – Homura Akemi
Literally my favourite fictional character.
Mahou Shoujo Ore – Konami Yamo
The manager had a good amount of funny moments and the least amount of unfunny moments and that plot twist at the end was pretty neat.
Mahou Shoujo Site – Tsuyuno Yatsumura
Probably had the best character arc of everyone in that show, definitely has the best design, and her relationship with Aya is honestly pretty neat. Shame the anime cut their lesbian kiss scene out.
Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka – Tamara Volkova
I hate her design the least and it turns out she’s voiced by M.A.O? that’s cool.
Mitsuboshi Colors - Kotoha
No more mahou shoujo. But instead we’ve got a blue loli gamer who steps on people. Actually the best character on this list.
Mob Pyscho 100 – Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama
I’d love to say “Shishou” here but I made that joke in my Winter 2019 Season in Review.
Naruto – Minato Namikaze
I’ve not seen Naruto but Naruto SD is on my MAL and I’ve got a relative idea of the story so like. Minato’s cool as shit and great fun in the Ultimate Ninja Storm games so I like him.
The Cat Returns – Baron Humbert von Gikkingen
I only knew him as the Baron but MAL’s got this full name so. Handsome cat with a sick top hat. I’ve only seen this in dub and the dub voice for him is pretty cool so.
New Game – Hifumi Takimoto
Adorable.
No Game No Life – Sora
It’s either Sora or Shiro and while Shiro is a hot- I mean cute loli, Sora’s a lot funnier and has more personality.
One Punch Man – Genos
I’ve heard Genos be described as the protag to his own shounen series and that’s fair. Genos is cool, I liked him.
Princess Principal – Ange le Carré
Lucarre? Who knows. Ange’s a really wonderful main character though and her design is incredible and I love her and PriPri is so fun to watch for so many reasons but especially Ange is amazing I adore her
Re:Zero – Rem
She’s like the most popular waifu for a reason, she’s cute and actually has like a solid character arc. And then she’s just waifu bait for Subaru.
Release the Spyce – Momo Minamoto
Every character in this show really sucked but a fun fact is that Momo is the only one whose name I remembered, and only her first name.
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai – Kaede Azusagawa
I feel like her character arc was pretty interesting, and one of the more emotional ones in the show, plus she’s voiced by Yurika Kubo using her adorable Hanayo voice so that’s really cute.
Your lie in April – None
Yeah, I genuinely hate everyone in this show so much that I can’t choose a favourite character. Funny, huh?
Flavours of Youth – Yi Lin
Wikipedia lists this as the name of the main character from the fashion model one, and while I think the third part was the best one, this fashion model girl was a bit more fun of a character than the dude from the third one, so she can be my favourite character.
Attack on Titan – Levi Ackerman
Not seen this since before even the dub came out but hey Levi’s badass and everyone loved him including me, I don’t know where the character’s gone since then but if he still likes cleaning then I guess he’s same old same old amirite?
Girls’ Last Tour – Chito
I mean, between Chito and Yuuri I feel like this is kind of obvious, by this point in the post I’m sure some sense of my taste has been established, if you couldn’t predict this then that’s your fault.
Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight – Daiba Nana
Doing this in Japanese name order because I really wanna preserve Banana. Even though I felt like episode 7 and Nana’s backstory were weirdly contrived, I still liked the character herself, and god if her outfit isn’t the best one by far. Tough pick between her and Hikari though because Hikari’s basically just Umi. I need to rewatch Revue Starlight and like, try to get it.
Slow Start – Tamate Momochi
Despite me just talking about my whole taste being established in the Girls’ Last Tour bit, I’ve now got a genki girl as my favourite again, because I’m less consistent than you think. Nah but twintails, thigh highs, flat chest and a fang? Even if it’s a gross flesh fang I still think she’s the best one.
Sonic X – Sonic the Hedgehog
While Sonic is a lot more introverted than his game self in this, I still think his portrayal was probably the most consistent with his game self relative to how much I also happened to enjoy it. Plus the Helen episode is actually just really good.
Sora no Otoshimono – Nymph
I watched this show dubbed and it was hilarious, I don’t think it was good at all but you know what Nypmh actually did have some decent moments here and there, I think. Mostly I remember her having a cute design and flat chest though and that’s all you need.
A Place Further Than the Universe – Shirase Kobuchizawa
Shirase’s honestly one of the most admirable protagonists I’ve ever seen and I really really respected her – another example of a very human lead character and god I really loved this so much damn fuck I love her.
SSSS.Gridman – Akane Shinjo
Yet another really good character. Very good at feeling human, again, and also they do a pretty good job of making her a sympathetic villain, and of course that design’s good as shit.
Sword Art Online – Yuuki Konno
This spot could be taken by Eugeo depending on the next half of Alicization. But for now it’s Yuuki. I’ve spoken at reasonable length about my love for Yuuki before so let’s just, move on.
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online – LLENN
SAOAGGO deserves a mention, and LLENN’s fucking great fun what a wild little loli.
Tamako Market – Tamako Kitashirakawa
Tough surname to say, but Tamako was pretty fun, I liked her more than the rest of the cast and she’s, she’s so cute.
Teekyuu – Yuri Oshimoto
I’m pretty sure I recall her being the funniest one.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann – Simon
Simon’s character arc is just, it’s just really good. He’s great fun and literally the perfect protagonist for what Gurren Lagann actually is.
Ms. Vampire Who Lives in my Neighbourhood – Sophie Twilight
Pretty cute, a vampire loli, that’s basically all you need.
Tsurezure Children – Shinichi Katori
He was by far the funniest character, also one of the most memorable ones. I’ll concede that I remembered the little sister character first but Katori’s better.
Space Patrol Luluco – Luluco
I wanted to leave “Luluco” here but I made that joke with Black Rock Shooter so. Moving on.
Uma Musume – Special Week
Shoutouts to Air Groove for funny name and Silence Suzuka for being actually the best character, but Special Week has a cuter design and is actually a better character and easily the most memorable character I just thought Suzuka was also neat.
Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita – Hana Shirosaki
Adorable moe blob, love the design, she’s like a very moe loli Homura and also her personality is the most endearing.
Bloom Into You – Yuu Koito
The good character that feels quite human train is still rolling. Yuu’s awesome though, I loved her.
The Promised Neverland – Emma
Norman was annoying, Ray was way too edgy, Mama was like, not that likeable, there are others who were all meh, process of elimination time.
Yuru Camp – Shimarin
English name order being broken again because Shimarin is her name. I adore Shimarin and I have so much love for the fact that Yuru Camp just, lets her be introverted and doesn’t try to change her, and when she does try out group camping it’s not like “wow this is better haha enjoying your own company is a felony” but rather “oh this is neat too” which is wonderful. Shimarin’s not the most complex character or anything but her surface level appeal is literally at its peak and the fact that the narrative is as respectful of her as it is makes it impossible not to love her even more.
Yuru Yuri – Yui Funami
She was my favourite, least annoying, not that Yuru Yuri has annoying characters but most of them had times where they could be, but Yui was good, and stuff.
Yuki Yuna is a Hero – Yuna Yuki
I really feel like I should be breaking the English name order rule again here because “Yuna Yuki” looks cursed. Anyway Yuki’s design is quite cute and I love her mahou shoujo look, but also I especially love that she punches things, that’s funny to me.
Zombie Land Saga – Ai Mizuno
I constantly go back and forth between her and Junko but eh Junko kinda stops being after episode 6 whereas Ai still gets to encourage Sakura in some nice ways, and stuff, but Junko looks and sounds a lot cuter and has a way better singing voice.
So that’s all of them. That took a few hours but was actually a bit easier than I thought it would be. I mean if I actually tried to justify my liking of every character fully rather than, whatever I did here, it’d be significantly longer and I’d probably just be tired as fuck when it all ended, but hey I still had fun with this. It’s not very clear how these characters scale against one another I feel, and where some characters were chosen because I actually loved them, some were just process of elimination from a weak cast, so in that sense it might be difficult to really establish my type from this, but hey whatever, again I’ve wanted to do this post for a long ass time and it was super fun to do so really what is there to complain about? Shoutouts to anyone who actually read all of this – I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone reading this specific section skimmed over some of the entries in the full list or even outright ignored them, but if you were crazy enough to actually read literally all of my musings (can they even be called that?) then that’s nice of you, thank you.
Now to watch something probably, and immediately render this list obsolete because it’s lacking a show I’ll have just watched!
