Day 4 - Favorite Female Anime Character

-
Chika Takami

At first I didnt care much for Chika. I thought she was good but still placed her in my bottom 5. Now after finishing Love Live Sunshine's Second Season she's really endeared me. As a protagonist I think she's fantastic at leading her cast both in and out of the story. Chika is hardworking and charismatic, able to socialize and inspire her fellow idols as well as the audience.

Chika's story is one of success or rather a person asking what it means to be successful. She's got the determination to face adversity and achieve goals but what exactly are those goals? Are your goals tangible? How should she achieve them? Should you copy your role models? And more importantly, should you give up?

Chika answers all of those.
She's like a shonen protagonist in an idol anime. She's an ambitious dork chasing her dreams which not only become more complex but forces her to grows both stronger and more responsible. She even has a training arc dedicated to learning a move from her sempai, it's awesome.

Keijo!!!!!!!!: Weaponized Sexiness

People that describe Keijo as "just a fanservice show" or anything similar to that, don't seem to understand the point of fanservice. It's been almost two years since the show aired and people still don't get it. With Keijo it's like someone hears a joke, doesn't get the setup or punchline, and then heckles the comedian and audience. Keijo is the titular water sport where girls stand on a small floating arena and compete against one another. The aim is to push the other contestant off of the arena into the water, but players are forbidden to use their limbs. They are only allowed to use their hips and chests to fight. However, they are freed to launch their attack to any body parts of their opponents, including their opponent's face and vital points. Now don't get me wrong, the characters in Keijo are very, very sexy but what makes the series not fanservice is in the the way the girls frame and discuss their body parts. The cast of Keijo

Day 27- Most Badass Scene

Zoro takes Luffy's Pain - One Piece Zoro is badass, there's no better way to describe him. He's a ridiculously strong swordsman who can dish out as much as he can take. There a lot of moments from him I could use for today. In the Alabasta arc he defeated Mr.1 by cutting through steel. His most recent feat of strength was in the Dressrosa arc where he cut through Pica, an already enormous man who was able to use his Stone-Stone fruit abilities to merge with the ground and become a giant. It's always cool seeing the damage he can do but his endurance is also really impressive. After an exhausting battle with  Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the sea, the Straw Hat pirates are confronted by another warlord Bartholomew Kuma. Kuma easily blew away the crew and was ready to take Luffy but Zoro offered his life instead. So Kuma, using his Paw-Paw fruit, absorbed all the pain Luffy experienced in the fight with Moria and tells Zoro to experience it. The scene sh

Day 28 - Favorite Quote

Mikazuki Augus - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans The quote itself isn't anything special but the context and delivery are why I love it. Mikazuki, the protagonist, is a cold blooded killer with emphasis on the cold. For his enemies it's terrify how calm he is when killing people on the battlefield but I find it amusing. He doesn't enjoy killing he just sees it as something he has to do, so he doesn't even consider mercy or empathy. This scene in particular is great because an enemy is calling him out being so ruthless in combat and while Mikazuki surprised to hear this for a moment he just shrugs it off and says "Well, Whatever" and then kills the guy anyway. He just doesn't care.
