Eh, it’s already almost been two weeks? Yikes. Last week was finals.

Someone tell me why I’m so invested in a ship in a comedy/gag manga ;~; Especially one chock full of curveballs? Ahhh, I feel like I’m setting myself up for disappointment, but whatever—I enjoy the humor all the same.

Anyway, wasn’t planning on this being my next post, but the day after I finished my last final, I found out the newest chapter of this manga had been translated (just in time: good de-stresser), and since I don’t really have anyone to talk about it with, I needed a way to get it out of my system while I wait for the next chapter. Been meaning to do something for D-Frag! for the longest time, so why not some very condensed manga panel “sketches”? Well, pretty clean sketches, ‘cause I for some reason felt like being a perfectionist when I intended not to be -.-

I can also pretend that this is a planned celebration for the 150th chapter :P Was expecting a very different chapter, but I am very happy with what I got instead, as is apparent…

Top Five Kana Hanazawa Roles

Does anyone know whether she’s still dating Kensho Ono? I’m kind of curious now. I hope everything worked out for the both of them. If they get married, they will be an iconic seiyuu duo for sure. 

I won’t be including anime that I haven’t watched in its entirety, so that means I will be excluding Nadeko Sengoku from the Monogatari series (that means no Renai Circulation), Naho Takamiya from Orange, Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-Pass (I’ll watch that eventually), and Mayuri Shiina from Steins;Gate. And by “entirety”, I mean I have watched at least one season.

I even had to narrow down my honourable mentions. Kana Hanazawa has that many good roles. A lot of the ones I took out were either because I didn’t like the anime themselves (ex. Danganronpa’s Chiaki Nanami) or I didn’t like the characters themselves (ex. Zetsuen no Tempest’s Aika Fuwa). Actually, I didn’t like Zetsuen no Tempest at all in both characters and stories. Bones can only do so much to animate their way out of a garbage can.

Honourable Mentions (That I Have Watched)

Seryuu Ubiquitous - Akame Ga Kill

Nobody likes this character, and that’s okay. I have a soft spot for some crazy anime characters when they’re done right, so I didn’t mind her at all. Twisted as she is, I don’t think you’re supposed to like this character, but I’ve got to admit, she was a badass. Sure, she killed a lot of people, but that dog was kind of cute when it wasn’t committing a massacre. Also, she had some awesome fight scenes and a great death scene paired with it. That’s barely even a spoiler. We all knew where this anime was going. It rivals AOT with its death count. Here are “All Deaths Under 15 Minutes”.

Kougyoku Ren - Magi 

At the end of it all, she’s just a teenage girl who had a crush on a guy that didn’t like her back and was notorious for being a f***boi. That’s okay though. Here’s another badass with awesome powers that can kill a lot of people. She’s responsible for one of the most iconic moments in the series despite being a supporting character, and she has a lot of cute moments. She’s one of those girls who can make flower crowns and beat you in a fight. She’s also a princess. Here’s a video (it’s basically a compilation of her relationship with Alibaba in the anime) and here’s another with a fight scene.

Shiemi Moriyama - Ao no Exorcist

(This moment alone makes me want to watch the anime again even though it wasn’t very good)

Shiemi may not be the best character, but she’s way better than poop eyebrows (I have a feeling no one knows who I’m talking about, but she’s her classmate who’s an absolute bitch). Here are some ship moments, and here’s some brutal friendzoning.

Anri Sonohara - Durarara!! 

(She’s the girl on the right. I couldn’t just not use this gif.)

Durarara is a weirdly enjoyable random hodgepodge of random ideas put together. Her, Mikado, and Kida get stuck in a whole lot of weird stuff, but I definitely didn’t expect some of those turns. 

Natsume Tsuchimikado - Tokyo Ravens 

Okay, maybe this anime was a pile of crap from a critical perspective, but I still enjoyed it besides some of the cringy moments. I was expecting Natsume to be more of a badass, but at least she can summon a dragon, right? She also did some stuff near the end... I guess.

Top Five

5. Rize Kamishiro - Tokyo Ghoul

Name a worse first date. Kaneki ended up nearly getting killed by her, but that doesn’t matter. A bunch of other shady stuff happens, and it doesn’t make sense until you read the manga. Isn’t that nice? Anyway, it’s just nice to see the insane range in this role, and even though Tokyo Ghoul (anime) is kind of dumb, at least we know there’s a good cast backing it up.

4. Kanade Tachibana - Angel Beats!!

I haven’t watched this in ages since it was one of the first anime I watched, but this role is kind of feels-worthy, so yeah, it’s going to be on the list. Sure, she has no emotion most of the time, but she’s oddly mysterious and has some things going for her. I mean, she’s one of the only characters to get proper development out of that large cast. And that last scene with her and Otonashi is known to be quite the moment.

3. Kosaki Onodera - Nisekoi 

Because casting is so important, somehow this role made it all the way up here. While I didn’t like Kouki Uchiyama being cast as Raku (I don’t like Raku as a character either), I thought Kana as Onodera was a good choice, and she did it well. I didn’t like Nisekoi. A lot of its humour was derived from Raku getting the crap beat out of him, and the romance part is just utter torture. If you’re keeping track who the “best girl” is (between Chitoge and Kosaki) I would choose Kosaki any day of the week. I would prefer not to get beat to a pulp. But at the end of the day, I still can’t believe Raku made the wrong decision.

2. Roka Shibasaki - D-Frag

Wow. Two harems back to back. You know, this one didn’t even say it was a harem, and to be fair, that’s because the majority of the series is surrounded by the game club and the comedy writing of the show. I actually liked the cast of this show, and it did make me laugh. I didn’t like the romance part of it too much because I felt like they shouldn’t have included it if they weren’t going to go beyond where they did. But Roka is still a funny character. Who knew that a loli would be the underground boss that can intimidate delinquents?

1. Shiro - Deadman Wonderland

Deadman Wonderland is not as bad as people make it out to be. Sure, there is a rough beginning that makes practically no sense, but I’m sure they explain it further in the manga somewhere. Shiro is a weirdly insane girl who just wants to be with Ganta. She may or may not have committed mass and/or serial murders, but when has that ever stopped her? Kana Hanazawa was great in this role, and I wouldn’t want to watch the dub just because I feel like the original duo (Romi Park and Kana Hanazawa) are great the way they are.

Me: I'm like Roka. I was the president of the Board Games Club and no one ever comes to our club no matter how much we try to get members.

Friend: Yeah the only thing you're missing is that you don't bag my head when I let my guard down.

Hmm... I get ideas.

Besides these three it’s really a good question who’s in my top 10 because it’s hard to narrow the list down so I can’t really say so here is a top 3 :)
