Day 9 - Best Anime Villain

Yoshikage Kira - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable

Yoshikage Kira just wants to live a quiet life. He doesn't have any grand ambitions like taking over the world, he just wants to fade into the background and go about his days in peace. Unfortunately a peaceful day for him comes at  the expense of the community of Morioh.

His hand fetish leads him to murder various women. He just likes hands so he becomes extremely dangerous when someone gets in the way. What makes Kira terrifying is that he doesn't like fighting but does like murdering women for their hands. With his fetish being that important to him, the closer he comes to being exposed the more dangerous he becomes in the story.

Kira's character represents what sociopaths are really like, not obviously evil crooks but people who can function easily in society while preying on their victims. This theme is presented perfectly in episode 24 where he's able to escape from the heroes and pass off as a normal citizen. The heroes failure to defeat him directly results in him being able to anonymously kill more people.

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.
