30 Day Anime Challenge: Day 3-8

Yes, I know this is late. My computer has been crashing and malfunctioning like crazy, so there's my excuse. Enjoy!

Day 3 - Your anime crush
Bah. I wish I could be bothered to get a better picture.

There's too many to list, really. Fakir from Princess Tutu is my all time favourite character, and biggest anime crush ever (hello, have you seen his Estrogen Brigade Bait page? /fans self/ Tall dark and snarky, jerk turned heart of gold, loves unconditionally, troubled but cute, very protective, can cook, ride horses, write stories that come true and is an epic ballet dancer. I'm still not sure that I didn't dream him up...) but I don't want everything on here to be from PT.


So, I am also giving a honourable mention to the entire male cast of Hakushaku to Yousei. I have never seen so many good looking males in an anime before. It was awesomesauce and mmsauce mixed together. In particular, I loved Edgar J.C Ashenbert. His ash-mauve eyes, ridiculously flirty behaviour and troubled past made me get my mmm thang on every time he came on screen.

I would list the many, many more, but there was only supposed to be one in the first place. I have far too many.

Day 4 - Anime you’re ashamed you enjoyed


Arakawa Under the Bridge. Just... yeah. It is the weirdest thing I have ever watched, but gosh I loved it. I mean, nothing even made sense half the time, but it made me laugh all the same. I don't even try to explain this one to people because, how can you? I'd like to note right now that my favourite character has a star for a head, and claims he is an alien. Yeah.

Day 5 - Anime character you feel you are most like (or wish you were)

I think I loved Princess Tutu so much, because I connected with all four of the protagonsists so much, and empathised with them. There really was a bit of myself in each of them. But, I'm using that anime for two other days, so I'll go with something else. Who do I wish I was? It would be pretty fun to be Misaki from Maid-sama! or Amu from Shugo Chara!. Not to mention, both of them have Usui and Ikuto in love with them, respectively, so yaysauce. I think I'd like to be Lydia from Hakushaku to Yousei the most, though. I love her hair, and the way in which she won't back down on what she believes in. Did I mention the fact that she lives in presumably 1800s England. And she has two swoony-worthy guys in love with her. And she can see fairies. And she has caramel coloured hair. And she gets to live in a mansion with Edgar. I'm ridiculously jealous.

Day 6 - Most annoying anime character


Jaken from InuYasha. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT STUPID TOAD-THING? "Lord Sesshomaruuuuuuu!?" Seriously thing, shut up. No one likes you. Even Sesshy thinks you're useless.

Day 7 - Favorite anime couple


Fakiru. My OTP to end all OTPs. I'd never had much interest in fandoms, fanfics, fanart or anything that wasn't an original show... Then I came across this pairing. I think my love of them stems from my whole Elizabeth/Darcy shipping-style complex. Both characters are just so stubborn; they just can't see how similar they really are. In their defence, they do have a lot of differences. This causes them to fight... a lot, but in my opinion, the best relationships are ones where both people are very different, but have the same values. That is why this pairing wins. Also "I'll stay by your side forever" was the most romantic, squee-worthy line like, ever.

Day 8 - Most epic scene ever


The last episode of Death Note. 'Nuff said.

Okay, so this list really doesn't express the scope of animes I've watched... There are just some that particularly stick with me, and come to mind when doing this. Hopefully my computer will stop crashing, and I'll stay more on top of this list in the future. ^^
