How to Create the Most Popular Anime Character Ever!

Posted on November 2, 2022November 2, 2022 by Irina

I’ve done it, I broke the code. I know exactly what you have to do to come up with a super popular anime character. I bet you want to know the secret as well. I can’t believe I’m giving this stuff away for free! I once wrote a post about the most popular characters in…

Bad Characters and BAD Characters

Posted on February 22, 2022November 19, 2021 by Irina

I think there’s a big difference between bad characters and BAD characters. You know what I mean. Sometimes characters end up really unlikeable or even boring even though they aren’t antagonists. A lot of the time, you could say that these are badly written characters. The author had a really cool idea, and it just…

The Importance of Relatability in Anime for Me as Seen Through My Appreciations of Sound Euphonium and Free

Posted on September 23, 2020September 23, 2020 by Irina

Character relatability in anime is sort of an awkward concept. When people talk about a character being relatable, it often means that character reminds them of themselves but not necessarily of how they actually are, but of how they see themselves. Thank goodness, cause a whole bunch of anime characters are really wackadoodle and it…

Anime Characters that Only Work on Paper

Posted on September 17, 2020September 17, 2020 by Irina

I have been watching an anime recently and thinking to myself, this would be great if it weren’t for the characters… Le sigh… That’s not exactly a flaw that’s easy to sweep under the rug. It reminded me of Demon Slayer. Not that the animes have anything in common. However, if I remember well, most…

Conspiracy Theory! Long Haired Anime Girls Get The Guy!

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Irina

So maybe I haven’t left my house in over a month…Maybe it’s doing things to my brain and I’m latching onto any random little thing for intellectual entertainment. That could be the case. I’m just human after all. But it’s totally not the case for this post! This one is solid! And based on like…

The Art of the Helpless Antagonist

Posted on March 25, 2020 by Irina

A while ago I came across this little piece of fan art I absolutely love! It’s great right. It may speak to some dark twisted nature deep in me, but Danganronpa, Magical Girl Raising Project and Madoka also happen to be 3 of my favorite franchises. I’m probably the only person in the world who…

Top 5 Supporting Anime Characters That Should Get Their Own Series

Posted on January 10, 2020December 15, 2019 by Irina

I once did a top 5 directors post where I forgot like 6 of my top 5 directors. I have a feeling that’s about to happen again. Considering I’m a fan of supporting or even minor characters, I usually have a dozen characters I want to know more about. Let’s just get this out of…

Awful People Can Still Be Great Characters

Posted on November 26, 2019November 15, 2019 by Irina

I have made no secret of my soft spot for horrible deplorable morally challenged and occasionally despicable characters. This expands beyond anime by the way. It really goes for my tastes in fiction in general. And it seems instinctive. If I have an early liking on a minor character no one pays attention to, 9…

How Important Is Relatability in Anime?

Posted on August 15, 2019July 20, 2019 by Irina

I have been reading a lot of anime reviews lately. Usually, I read various reviews around WordPress and get my info from there. However, through researching a few posts (I know!) I managed to go through a large amount of shorter reviews on sites such as MAL and AniList. One very common statement is that characters…

Bungo Stray Dogs and A Night on The Galactic Express

Posted on July 15, 2019July 15, 2019 by Irina

I’ve been meaning to write about the real-life authors that serve as namesakes for the Bungo Stray Dog characters for some time now and I will. I’m not quite sure how to tackle it yet. There’s a lot of material and fun little tidbits and Easter eggs I want to share. It’s a lot of…

Why Bakugo Isn’t a Mary Sue

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Irina

This week will be a slight departure from my usual character studies. We’re not only going to take a look at Bakugo but at his cofounding and frustrating character and the creative process behind it. I hope you enjoy the post! What makes a good, engaging, character? It’s a riddle that’s kept authors guessing since…

Kyoya Ootori – Ouran’s Eternal Third Son

Posted on June 3, 2019May 25, 2019 by Irina

If you’ve been following along with my character studies for a while, you may know that I choose generally hapless characters. People that just can’t seem to catch a break – or at least not the break I feel they deserve. I have featured a gallery of unfortunate misfits and put upon suckers. So why…

Posted on May 20, 2019 by Irina

****I will be discussing characters and events from the fourth episode of Bingo Stray Dogs, season 3. Although I don’t believe this post by spoils anything about the season or the larger plot, it does go over the episode itself in fair detail so if you don’t want to learn what happens, please feel free…

Do you know Hōka Inumuta?

Posted on May 6, 2019March 31, 2019 by Irina

When I called out for help and inspiration on anime characters to write about, Kill la Kill’s Ryuko was one of the top contenders. She doesn’t exactly fit the underrated/underappreciated theme I’m trying to go for. In fact, she’s one of the few characters with her very own TV tropes page I have now wasted an afternoon…
