So @momtaku tagged me in a ‘list your 5 fave anime characters’ meme, which promptly made me wonder: do I even have 5 fave anime characters?? The truth is that I mostly read manga, and anime is not my favourite medium. As such, this meme will be an exciting journey of self-discovery

Rules: list your top 5 favorite anime characters and tag 10 people.

1. The first one to pop into my head was Touya Akira from Hikaru no Go

Again with the caveat that I prefer him, and everything always, in the manga. But I do remember enjoying the anime! (Why does Touya have green hair in it? No one knows)

2. Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist is an obvious choice

(Don’t ask me in which anime I like him better. Both! Both. But mostly the manga, lol.)

3. Mikasa from Attack on Titan. This is tricksy, because I like the SnK anime for the music and the epicness, but the characters didn’t do much for me. But surely loving Mikasa on the strength of the manga (I know, I know, broken record here) means she must make the list!

4. Aion from Chrno Crusade

Hello, obscure anime nobody but me probably knows! But it was the first anime I watched, like, outside of my childhood, and the main villain made an impression. So very villainous.

5. Terry from Candy Candy

Yes, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel here!!! This was the first anime I watched ever, and Terry was baby’s first anime crush. (I don’t even know how old this anime is. Certainly way older than I am.)

Puzzling this out has sapped my brain powers, haha, so no clue whom to tag. Consider yourself tagged, whoever wants to do it!

#fun fact: i nearly went with 'the entire cast of fma' for one of them #nearly cheated with L from death note but i never watched that anime lol #i considered kakashi from naruto but the truth is again like i've watched like maybe 5 mins of the anime #i like him from the manga #(also sasuke - my problematic fave. but kakashi beats him by a hair for my fave spot in that manga)#like i don't hate anime by any means?? i just usually find that manga is better for me #oddly enough there exists one manga that i wish was made into an anime! and that's #bokura no kiseki #i just feel it would do well in the anime medium #there was like a short time in my life when i did watch anime actively and like evangelion falls in that time and the first fma as well #i think the only other one that stayed with me from that time was wolf's rain but i think it only endured cause i liked some music from it #also like wolf's rain features the terry of its time y'know #i have a type #you can track it through my faves over the years #terry from candy candy -> kiba from wolf's rain -> keith from voltron #ANYWAY #okay last fun fact: my fave anime opening of all time is that from evangelion #me and a lot of other ppl i think #and now after like making this list i'm really tempted to rewatch/reread some fma because it reminded me of how much i love that series #gpoy
