I like to believe that deep down, I'm not all that materialistic. I mean, I love collecting things, but I'd be able to survive without it all if I had to. Money isn't everything, so I don't mind the fact that I have so very little of it.
But these days, I really do feel like money could solve all my problems.
Yeah, my financial situation has gone from bad to worse, and I'm starting to feel some frustration building up. Now, I get enough money to get by, by the way I'm managing my budget, and my bills get paid and I can afford food and all that, so I know I really don't have the right to complain. It's just that the work on the appartment is taking its toll. If I am to finish the kitchen, so I can finish the rest of the place, I need an actual electrician to do some electrical work, and I can't afford it. At all. I have absolutely no spare money to put into something like that.
And when I got home today and turned on the lights in the livingroom, I heard a silent snap and both of the lamps in the ceiling went out. Oh, great, I need to replace the light bulbs. No biggie. Mum was kind enough to get me some so I could get them changed. Aaand, nothing happens. Has a fuse blown? I check the cabinet, and nope. Everything else in the apartment works just fine, except those two lamps. Either they're both broken, or there's something electrical problems there. Yay.
That would be the famous last straw, eh? And now I'm frustrated.
Yes, yes, I know I could've used the money I had put away on my savings account to pay for the electrical work instead of buying myself a trip to Argentina. But, firstly, I had saved up that money with that trip in mind, because I'm actually invited to wedding of one of my closest friends, and that's kind of a once in a lifetime thing. Secondly, that money wouldn't have been enough anyway. The trip cost me about 8000,- NOK, and the electrical work I need done could get as high as 25,000,- NOK. So, yeah.
Still don't know exactly how much the electrical thing will cost, cause I'm having some electricians come and check it out later this week to give me an exact price. But, the first estimated price I was given by a relative was about 10,000,- NOK, though he didn't really know what I need done, and the guy we talked to today who's going to come take a look at it said it could easily get to about 20-30,000 NOK. He even got as high up as 50,000,- NOK to get everything done, scaring the god damn crap outta me. How the hell am I going to get that kind of money?!
It's been 8 months since I bought the place, and the only thing that's done is the living room, tho I haven't gotten the fireplace installed there yet. I want to finish the bedroom and the hallway, but I can't do that before I finish the kitchen, and by the looks of it that won't be happening any time soon. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to own an apartment and only half of it is liveable? I sleep on my couch. I only have the fridge up and working, and a microwave, so I can't make myself a proper meal. I can't have any guests over.
Yeah, yeah, I know things could be a lot worse, and there are a lot of people out there in worse situations, and who don't have a home at all, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating for me. I'm only human. I'm allowed to rant when things get too difficult.
I know it'll all pass.
I know it'll all get better.
I know I'll eventually find some solution.
I know that it'll all be worth it in the end.
But right now, sitting in a dark livingroom, knowing what my current situation is like, I feel frustrated as fuck and need to let out some steam. I fukken hate my financial situation. Hate it. It's depressing, it's frustrating, and I am so in need of some cheering up right now, so I'mma spend the rest of the day watching D.Gray-Man and drooling over Lavi, dreaming that I'll somehow fall through a portal and into their world and into Lavi's hands. So there.
Poop.

Ah - Nih - Meh
Yes, being the geek that I am, I have dedicated this entire entry to one of my major loves in life: anime! I've seen my share of it, good and bad, and so I figured I'd list my top 5 favourite animes, along with my favourite characters from those animes. Be warned though, that there might be some serious spoilers here, so if you haven't seen any of the animes below and don't want spoilers, then maybe you shouldn't be reading this. X3 Aaand, it's a lengthy entry, lol.
Also, for the record, I always watch anime in japanese with english subs. I can't stand to hear the english dubbed versions, cause they make my skin crawl. I generally don't like dubbing of any kind, and prefer to watch things in their original language with subs instead.
Before I begin, I'd like to mention a few of the latest animes I've seen and my general opinion of them.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!
This was one of the better animes I've seen lately, and I really enjoyed it. Yoko won my heart right away, being a badass redhead in skimpy clothing (yes, I'm simple that way), and Kamina was just too awesome for words. The first half of the anime was by far my favourite part, although I did enjoy seeing Simon all grown up and cute in the second half. Also, I generally do NOT support main characters dying (it ruins the point of an anime for me, cause the main characters is the reason for why I watch the anime in the first place), but I have to admit that Kamina's death really brought something valuable to the anime. And Nia was a cute addition to the gang. The only thing I didn't quite like with the anime was the ending. It was too boring, and too final. It just didn't fit with the rest of the story, in my opinion. But, overall a good anime that's worth watching.
Attack on Titan.
I was very torn in my opinion when I first started watching it, and still kind of am. The story is really fantastic and fascinating, and it makes you want to know what's really going on, and it's generally really well made, but it's not to my taste. It's just too serious. Yes, it's all blood and gore, but that doesn't bother me at all. It's the seriousness that gets me. There aren't enough ups to make up for all the downs, making the generall progress to the story too depressive and hopeless. I don't have any faith that it'll all end well. Also, way too much death. Everyone just dies, and at a point you stop caring. You don't even have time to like someone before they die, and that just cuts off my emotions. What makes an anime really good to me is how it plays with my emotions, making me laugh and cry and get angry. This anime does neither. I can count on one hand how many times I've laughed or cried, and considering how emotional I am, that's a pretty bad thing.
Overall, it's a good anime, if you like that kind of seriousness.
I've seen too many animes to start listing them all, especially since I've forgotten the names of about half of them, and the plot on half of the rest of that. My memory sucks.. But, here are some of the animes I've watched that I really recommend:
.hack//sign ~ the soundtrack is by far my favourite part
Ah! My Goddess ~ I want my own goddes, pwease ;w;
Chobits ~ I can has Chii?
Durarara!!! ~ Absolutely worth watching
Fruits Basket ~ I so love Kyo
Kannazuki no Miko ~ Agh, the feels
Noir ~ One of the better animes out there
Shugo Chara ~ if you like sugary cute, this is perfect for you
Vampire Knight ~ my favourite vamp anime or series in general
Vandread ~ Old but good, and worth watching
Witchblade ~ It made me go rawr
And now, on to my favourite animes!
5th place :: NARUTO~
This used to be my favourite anime when I first started watching, several years ago, but it's been bumped down because the plot started to become a bit boring. This last arc that I'm currently watching has gotten better, with the 4th Shinobi world war going on (I'm on episode 313 of Shippuuden), I'll admit, which is why this anime is still on my list of favourite animes. It's generally a really awesome world of ninjas, with some pretty decent characters with nice backstories, and when they focus on the good plots it's a really fantastic anime. Just, oh my god, Naruto, get over Sasuke already. We know you love him, but it's not all about him you know. Besides, he's not worth your love.
Characters.
I'll start off with my least favourite character in the entire series: Sasuke. I mean, seriously? Someone please slap that emo little bitch, cause I can't stand him. No, really, I hate his guts. He's an idiot, plain and simple. Second least favourite has to be Sakura. She's practically useless. Her very few moments of badass and awesome are just too few to make up for the general annoyance she gives. I'm all for the SasuSaku combo, cause they deserve eachother. They're both idiots.
As for characters in general, there are many good to choose from, but unfortunately there are very few female characters that really stand out and makes me go "Hellz yeah, that's my girl" and smack them on my list of favs. I want more badass girls! Anyway, for the Naruto characters, the countdown list contains 10 of my favourites.
Number 10 :: Lady Tsunade
The 5th Hokage and one of the 3 Legendary Sannin. Her boobs -er, I mean, her personality and strength, and medical skills just makes her plain awesome. She knows how to kick ass, and look awesome doing so.
Number 9 :: Naruto Uzumaki
The main character of the series (yeah, he's not on the top of my list, but at least he's ON it). He's got an amazing attitude, never gives up, and his general stupidity and kindness makes him worth liking. He's definitely someone I'd want as a friend.
Number 8 :: Kushina Uzumaki
Naruto's mother, and the former jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. She had the most awesome personality ever. We never got to see much of her, but what little we did see was enough for me to permanently love her.
Number 7 :: Shikamaru Nara
Yes, because intelligence is sexy as hell. I am so in love with the brains of this boy and his laid back personality. I approve of all episodes that involves him. And yes, I ship Shikamaru x Temari, fyi.
Number 6 :: Hinata Hyuga
My favourite female character in the entire anime. Hell, I'd marry the girl on the spot, cause she's damned gorgeous in every way. She's cute and shy, yet kicks ass when she wants to. I do support Hinata x naruto, though I kind of think Hinata x Kiba would make a better combo. ;p
Number 5 :: Kiba Inuzuka
He's a god damn mut, and I love him. Love his personality, love his appearance, love his fighting style. Yeah, there's nothing about him that I don't like. I def think Kiba x Hinata is the best combo.
Number 4 :: Itachi Uchiha
Sasuke's older brother. I spent most of the series hating him, until they revealed the truth behind him and what he really did for the village. Needless to say, that turned my view of him completely around, and now he's one of my absolute favourite characters. Everything he does is just pure awesome.
Number 3 :: Gaara
The 5th Kazekage and the former jinchūriki of the One-Tail. I seriously loved this guy from the moment he was introduced as an antagonist, and my love for him has only grown. He's developed into one of the most badass characters in the entire series, and I love his abilities and fighting style. Had I been a part of the Naruto universe, I'd be so all over him, just sayin'.
Number 2 :: Kakashi Hatake
You just can't not like this guy. His personality, his appearance, his skills. He is just pure awesome, down to the very core. I approve of absolutely everything he does, simply because he's the one doing it. Yes, I am a Kakashi fangirl.
Number 1 :: Minato Namikaze
The 4th Hokage and Naruto's father. He is by far my favourite character in the entire series, despite him being dead and all and that we don't get to see much of him. I can't really say what it is that makes me like him so much, but he just hit my heart in the right place. His personality, his appearance... He's just really, really awesome. I get why Kushina married him, cause I defintely would too if I were her. XD
4th place :: SAILOR MOON~
Omg, the first anime I ever saw when I was a little girl. They used to send it on a Swedish channel that we had, early in the morning, and it was the only thing that ever got me up in the mornings. I really loved this anime as a kid, and because of that it's still one of my favourites. Besides, I love watching female characters being the heroes and saving the world, especially if they can change into fancy battle outfits. Yes, I meant that seriously.
Characters.
It's hard to make a list of favourites from this anime, cause I generally don't have a list of favourites, or least favourites, cause I like them all somewhat equally, but of course I have to say that the 5 main Sailor Senshi are the ones I like the best. But, all in all, Usagi Tsukino, aka Sailor Moon herself, is my number one favourite. Though, I prefer her personality from the manga over the one in the anime. Yes, there's a difference there.
3rd place :: D.GRAY-MAN
Omfg, this anime is so underestimated. It was instant love for me, already at the first episode, and the more I watch it the more I love it. It's been a while since I first saw it and I've sadly forgotten a lot, so I'm currently re-watching it (I'm only on episode 41 atm), but I can never forget how much I effin love this anime. I like the general story, and how they progress through the plot, and they do a good job of picking up loose threads. It's so worth watching!
Characters.
I really like the many different characters this anime has, cause they bring such varierity to the story, and it's easy to pick out favourites. They're all really good in their own way, and I generally like them all - ah, well, got a bit of a love/hate thing going on with Kanda tho - but my list of absolute favourites is actually not that long. Also, fyi, I so ship Kanda x Goz! XD
Number 5 :: Fou
The Guardian Deity of the Asian Branch, and one badass girl. She may have a bad temper, but deep down she's kind-hearted and protective of her loved ones. She's really awesome.
Number 4 :: Komui Lee
Komui is my favourite non-excorcist, that much is for sure. He's so hilarious, and I think he's often mistaken as a very ridicules character, but he's way deeper than those goofy and maniacal sides he shows. I mean, there's a reason for why he's the director. Also, he reminds me so much of one of my own OCs, Thomas, and the way Komui is fretting over his sister, Lenalee, makes me really glad that Thomas doesn't have a daughter. XD
Number 3 :: Bak Chan
The director of the Asian branch. I really love his outfit, especially the jacket he wears, and I like his personality as well. I don't know what else to say about him, really. He's just one of those people you just have to like. And despite how he's portrayed to have a thing for Lenalee, I can't help but pair him up with Fou. X3
Number 2 :: Allen Walker
The main character of the anime, and he's got the sweetest personality ever. He's so cute, I could just eat him right up. And along with that cuteness and awkwardness, he's also got some really badass moments that really shows how awesome he truly is. Also, being the sick and twisted being that I am, I love listening to him scream. That japanese voice actor of his has a really sexy screaming voice. Just sayin'..
Number 1 :: Lavi
Omg, LaviLaviLaviLaviLaviiiii~ I am hopelessly in love with him. No, seriously, he's just so effin awesome! His personality is so charming and easy to fall for, and I like his style and appearance, and his Innocence weapon is by far the coolest in the entire anime. I swear, I squeel like a fangirl whenever he's on screen. I LoveLoveLoveLavi~
Haha, also, my favourite pairing from this anime has to be Allen x Lavi. *w*
2nd place :: ONE PIECE~
This was my number one favourite anime for quite a while, as I love the general fun of it and how much it makes me laugh. I swear, no other anime in the world can make me laugh as hard as this one does. I miss the romance, cause it doesn't really have any, and as a bit of a hopeless romantic I do wish for a bit of romance in my animes, but aside from that it's generally just a really awesome anime. I love the characters, I love the story, I love everything about it. It's fun, but with a healthy dose of seriousness and action, and it makes for great entertainment. I just started watching it again, after the 2 year gap (I'm on episode 549), and my love for the anime just keeps on growing. And I love, love, loooove how they've all grown even stronger.
Characters.
I generally like all of the main crew of the Strawhat Pirates, cause they're all so unique and with their own special skills and stories, and they just make a perfect team. I absolutely love them. But, if I have to make a list, then here's my top 5 favourites.
Number 5 :: Trafalgar Law
Didn't get to see much of him, but what little I saw made me permanently love him. He's just really badass. I squeed like a little girl when he showed up to save Luffy at the Marineford battle.
Number 4 :: Shanks
Shaaaaaaannnnnnnksssssss! Yeah, he's just too awesome for me to form proper words. Nuff said.
Number 3 :: Roroanoa Zoro
The most badass member of Luffy's crew, without a doubt. I fukken love him, his fighting style, his awesome personality, and his hilarious lack of sense of direction. Whenever he's on screen, I go squee.
Number 2 :: Monkey D. Luffy
The main character of the series, and by far the most awesome character in the history of characters. His carefree and straight forward personality just makes me love him, and I'd loooove to be a part of his crew. I fully support him becoming Pirate King!
Number 1 :: Portgas D. Ace
Agh. Just agh. This guy became my favourite character the very moment he came on screen for the first time, and I still love him. His style, his personality, well, everything about him. It's just plain awesome. I've seen a lot of loved characters die, and I've cried a lot over them, but Ace's death..? Never to this date have I ever cried so hard over a character dying. Screw logic, I'd give anything to bring him back to life again.
1st place :: FAIRY TAIL~
My number one favourite anime of all time! It has pretty much everything I like. Awesome characters, awesome stories, a fantastic world I'd love to be a part of, and even the style it's drawn in is my favourite (I'm picky about that, actually, and can't watch an anime if I don't like the style it's drawn in, no matter how good it is). It's a fun anime with lots of laughter and hilarious moments, but with that healthy dose of seriousness and sad moments, and it even have some hints of romance here and there, so it got pretty much everything I desire. Not to mention the fact that the main character uses keys as her main magic! This anime was love at first sight for me, and I doubt I'll ever find an anime that can top it. I've seen all they've made of it so far, and I just want moooooooooreeeeeeee!
Characters.
Wow, yeah, that's difficult. I love them all, cause they're all really awesome characters with great stories, and an interesting design to them. It's really hard to just pick a few to display as my favourites. (excuse the spelling, cause I go by the translations I've seen in the anime, and I don't really know if that's how you spell their names or not)
Number 10 :: Wendy Marvel
She brings the cute to the anime in a perfect way that's not too much or too little. I love watching her do battle, cause I like her style. It's also nice to see younger characters front an anime the way she does.
Number 9 :: Gajeel
Geehee. XD I hated his guts when he first showed up, and now he's one of my favourites. I love this god damned bastard! He's just really awesome. Also, I am such a fan of the Gajeel x Levy combo! They're one of my favourite pairings ever.
Number 8 :: Levy McGarden
Probably Lucy's closest friend, and one of the more underestimated characters in the series. Her ability is really awesome, and I really enjoy it whenever she's on screen, especially if Gajeel's around.
Number 7 :: Erza Scarlet
The strongest woman in the guild, and a really badass redhead. How can one not love her? I always enjoy watching her fight, though my favorite moments of her are when she's being all awkward. And I ship Erza x Jellal!
Number 6 :: Gray Fullbuster
That icy bastard. He had me as a fan from the very first moment he appeared. He is just really, really cool (hah, pun intended), especially when he gets all serious in a fight. I support both Gray x Lucy and Gray x Juvia, though the latter is my favourite pairing.
Number 5 :: Mystogan
I prefer him over Jellal, actually. His personality is way more awesome, and whenever he decided to get into the fighting, he made me go squee! He's just effin awesome! I want him baaaaaaaack! ;_;
Number 4 :: Loki
I usually don't like the playboys, but he's just special. The episodes where we got the truth about him are my favourite ones, cause his story just gets me. He is just plain awesome, and my absolute favourite pairing in the anime is Loki x Lucy, fyi! He may joke around, but I think he actually seriously DO love her.
Number 3 :: Natsu Dragneel
How can I not like him? His personality reminds me of both Naruto and Luffy, and I just love the way he never gives up. He'll always stand up, no matter how many times he falls down, and I love that about him. Also, I ship Natsu x Lisanna, without a doubt.
Number 2 :: Lucy Heartfilia
She's so awesome!! I love her magic. Love, love, love it! Also, her personality is just really awesome, and she makes the entire anime worth watching. It's also really nice to see anime with a girl as the main character, especially when there are so many other strong male characters. Aaaand, though I support pairing her up with just about anyone and everyone, my favourite pairing is Lucy x Loki.
Number 1 :: Mavis Vermilion
I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER! Typical me, falling for a dead character, but she's just too awesome not to like her. I mean, she's the founder of the guild, she has the most adorable personality ever (she reminds me so much of one of my own OCs, Citty.), and even though she's dead she's still powerful as fuck. I want more Mavis screen time! I really hope we get to see more of her story when they start making more of the anime.
Number 10 :: Kyo Sohma ~ from Fruits Basket
My favourite carrot-top ever! He may be hotheaded and temperamental, but on him I find it cute. He is by far my favourite zodiac, and if I had known him I'd hug him as often as I could. XD
Number 9 :: Ikuto Tsukiyomi ~ from Shugo Chara
Aaand, this would be the guy that makes me go mreeeeooow~ He is actually the only reason for why I started watching that anime in the first place. I saw an amv with him, and he reminded me so much of an OC of mine, Cajo, that I just had to check out the anime to see some more of him. He's now my favourite character in the entire anime, and still the main reason for why I watch it.
Number 8 :: Himura Kenshin ~ from Rurouni Kenshin
This used to be one of my favourite animes back when I was a teenager, and Kenshin is still one of my favourite characters. He's just too adorable not to love! Even to this day, I can still let an oro slip out of me every now and then, lol. I love his sweet and kind personality, that can often be awkward and clumsy, yet with a serious side to it when needed. Also, omg, redheaaaads~
Number 7 :: Yoko Littner ~ from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
My favourite female redhead! Yoko is kickass awesome, and gorgeous on top of that, and the main reason for why I decided to check out the anime in the first place. I definitely do not regret that I did. ;p
Number 6 :: Monkey D. Luffy ~ from One Piece
I so love his naive and straight forward personality. He's 100% honest at all times, about who he is and what he wants, and he'll always fight for his nakama. And when he gets angry, you're so fucked, cause there's absolutely no stopping this maniac! When he sets a goal, he'll reach it no matter what, and if you're stupid enough to get in the way then you'll get your ass kicked.
Number 5 :: Mavis Vermilion ~ from Fairy Tail
The founder of the Fairy Tail Guild, and the most adorable and awesome ghost ever. She has such a sweet and kind personality, with a hint of sillyness and a bit of serious. She really is my favourite character from that anime, and I absolutely adore her.
Number 4 :: Minato Namikaze ~ from Naruto
Naruto's late father and the 4th Hokage, also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash. He was such an amazing character. When we got to know more about him, and see what he was like when he was alive, I fell for him right away. His amazing personality makes it impossible not to like him, and he truly did deserve the title of 4th Hokage.
Number 3 :: Portgas D. Ace ~ from One Piece
Yeah, I don't know what more I can say about him. He had the most badass and charming personality ever, and I loved it whenever he showed up. The Battle at Marineford arc was by far the most emotional arc in all of One Piece for me, and just thinking about it gives me the chills. I think I got a bit of a weakness for flaming hot characters. ;p
Number 2 :: Chii ~ from Chobits
Oh, how I wish she was mine. Seriously, ever since I first watched Chobits, I've wanted her as my own. She's just too damned adorable, and she makes me all gooey on the inside, in a good way. Oh, the things I'd do to her.... XwX Ah, anyway! She's got to be my favourite female character ever, just because she's so darned cute. Pantsu!
Number 1 :: Lavi ~ from D.Gray-Man
Aaaand, then there's Lavi. By far my favourite male anime character. He's so fukken awesome, if I ever met him irl I'd probably pass out from a typical anime-nosebleed. I just can't get enough of him. I swear, if that guy was real, he'd turn me straight just by looking at me, and I'd love it. He does funky things with my mind, he does... He's got the most charming personality ever, and he's a redhead! How can you not love that? Laaaavi, come kidnap me from this woooorld~
Also, for the record, I always watch anime in japanese with english subs. I can't stand to hear the english dubbed versions, cause they make my skin crawl. I generally don't like dubbing of any kind, and prefer to watch things in their original language with subs instead.
Before I begin, I'd like to mention a few of the latest animes I've seen and my general opinion of them.

And Nia was a cute addition to the gang. The only thing I didn't quite like with the anime was the ending. It was too boring, and too final. It just didn't fit with the rest of the story, in my opinion. But, overall a good anime that's worth watching.
Attack on Titan.
I was very torn in my opinion when I first started watching it, and still kind of am. The story is really fantastic and fascinating, and it makes you want to know what's really going on, and it's generally really well made, but it's not to my taste. It's just too serious. Yes, it's all blood and gore, but that doesn't bother me at all. It's the seriousness that gets me. There aren't enough ups to make up for all the downs, making the generall progress to the story too depressive and hopeless. I don't have any faith that it'll all end well. Also, way too much death.

What makes an anime really good to me is how it plays with my emotions, making me laugh and cry and get angry. This anime does neither. I can count on one hand how many times I've laughed or cried, and considering how emotional I am, that's a pretty bad thing.
Overall, it's a good anime, if you like that kind of seriousness.
I've seen too many animes to start listing them all, especially since I've forgotten the names of about half of them, and the plot on half of the rest of that. My memory sucks.. But, here are some of the animes I've watched that I really recommend:

Anyway, for the Naruto characters, the countdown list contains 10 of my favourites.
Number 10 :: Lady Tsunade
The 5th Hokage and one of the 3 Legendary Sannin. Her boobs -er, I mean, her personality and strength, and medical skills just makes her plain awesome. She knows how to kick ass, and look awesome doing so.
Number 9 :: Naruto Uzumaki
The main character of the series (yeah, he's not on the top of my list, but at least he's ON it). He's got an amazing attitude, never gives up, and his general stupidity and kindness makes him worth liking. He's definitely someone I'd want as a friend.
Number 8 :: Kushina Uzumaki
Naruto's mother, and the former jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. She had the most awesome personality ever. We never got to see much of her, but what little we did see was enough for me to permanently love her.
Number 7 :: Shikamaru Nara
Yes, because intelligence is sexy as hell. I am so in love with the brains of this boy and his laid back personality. I approve of all episodes that involves him. And yes, I ship Shikamaru x Temari, fyi.
Number 6 :: Hinata Hyuga
My favourite female character in the entire anime. Hell, I'd marry the girl on the spot, cause she's damned gorgeous in every way. She's cute and shy, yet kicks ass when she wants to. I do support Hinata x naruto, though I kind of think Hinata x Kiba would make a better combo. ;p
Number 5 :: Kiba Inuzuka
He's a god damn mut, and I love him. Love his personality, love his appearance, love his fighting style. Yeah, there's nothing about him that I don't like. I def think Kiba x Hinata is the best combo.
Number 4 :: Itachi Uchiha
Sasuke's older brother. I spent most of the series hating him, until they revealed the truth behind him and what he really did for the village. Needless to say, that turned my view of him completely around, and now he's one of my absolute favourite characters. Everything he does is just pure awesome.
Number 3 :: Gaara
The 5th Kazekage and the former jinchūriki of the One-Tail. I seriously loved this guy from the moment he was introduced as an antagonist, and my love for him has only grown. He's developed into one of the most badass characters in the entire series, and I love his abilities and fighting style. Had I been a part of the Naruto universe, I'd be so all over him, just sayin'.
Number 2 :: Kakashi Hatake
You just can't not like this guy. His personality, his appearance, his skills. He is just pure awesome, down to the very core. I approve of absolutely everything he does, simply because he's the one doing it. Yes, I am a Kakashi fangirl.
Number 1 :: Minato Namikaze
The 4th Hokage and Naruto's father. He is by far my favourite character in the entire series, despite him being dead and all and that we don't get to see much of him. I can't really say what it is that makes me like him so much, but he just hit my heart in the right place. His personality, his appearance... He's just really, really awesome. I get why Kushina married him, cause I defintely would too if I were her. XD
4th place :: SAILOR MOON~
Omg, the first anime I ever saw when I was a little girl. They used to send it on a Swedish channel that we had, early in the morning, and it was the only thing that ever got me up in the mornings. I really loved this anime as a kid, and because of that it's still one of my favourites. Besides, I love watching female characters being the heroes and saving the world, especially if they can change into fancy battle outfits. Yes, I meant that seriously.
Characters.
It's hard to make a list of favourites from this anime, cause I generally don't have a list of favourites, or least favourites, cause I like them all somewhat equally, but of course I have to say that the 5 main Sailor Senshi are the ones I like the best. But, all in all, Usagi Tsukino, aka Sailor Moon herself, is my number one favourite. Though, I prefer her personality from the manga over the one in the anime. Yes, there's a difference there.
3rd place :: D.GRAY-MAN
Omfg, this anime is so underestimated. It was instant love for me, already at the first episode, and the more I watch it the more I love it. It's been a while since I first saw it and I've sadly forgotten a lot, so I'm currently re-watching it (I'm only on episode 41 atm), but I can never forget how much I effin love this anime. I like the general story, and how they progress through the plot, and they do a good job of picking up loose threads. It's so worth watching!
Characters.
I really like the many different characters this anime has, cause they bring such varierity to the story, and it's easy to pick out favourites. They're all really good in their own way, and I generally like them all - ah, well, got a bit of a love/hate thing going on with Kanda tho - but my list of absolute favourites is actually not that long. Also, fyi, I so ship Kanda x Goz! XD
Number 5 :: Fou
The Guardian Deity of the Asian Branch, and one badass girl. She may have a bad temper, but deep down she's kind-hearted and protective of her loved ones. She's really awesome.
Number 4 :: Komui Lee
Komui is my favourite non-excorcist, that much is for sure. He's so hilarious, and I think he's often mistaken as a very ridicules character, but he's way deeper than those goofy and maniacal sides he shows. I mean, there's a reason for why he's the director. Also, he reminds me so much of one of my own OCs, Thomas, and the way Komui is fretting over his sister, Lenalee, makes me really glad that Thomas doesn't have a daughter. XD
Number 3 :: Bak Chan
The director of the Asian branch. I really love his outfit, especially the jacket he wears, and I like his personality as well. I don't know what else to say about him, really. He's just one of those people you just have to like. And despite how he's portrayed to have a thing for Lenalee, I can't help but pair him up with Fou. X3
Number 2 :: Allen Walker
The main character of the anime, and he's got the sweetest personality ever. He's so cute, I could just eat him right up. And along with that cuteness and awkwardness, he's also got some really badass moments that really shows how awesome he truly is. Also, being the sick and twisted being that I am, I love listening to him scream. That japanese voice actor of his has a really sexy screaming voice. Just sayin'..
Number 1 :: Lavi
Omg, LaviLaviLaviLaviLaviiiii~ I am hopelessly in love with him. No, seriously, he's just so effin awesome! His personality is so charming and easy to fall for, and I like his style and appearance, and his Innocence weapon is by far the coolest in the entire anime. I swear, I squeel like a fangirl whenever he's on screen. I LoveLoveLoveLavi~
Haha, also, my favourite pairing from this anime has to be Allen x Lavi. *w*
2nd place :: ONE PIECE~
This was my number one favourite anime for quite a while, as I love the general fun of it and how much it makes me laugh. I swear, no other anime in the world can make me laugh as hard as this one does. I miss the romance, cause it doesn't really have any, and as a bit of a hopeless romantic I do wish for a bit of romance in my animes, but aside from that it's generally just a really awesome anime. I love the characters, I love the story, I love everything about it. It's fun, but with a healthy dose of seriousness and action, and it makes for great entertainment. I just started watching it again, after the 2 year gap (I'm on episode 549), and my love for the anime just keeps on growing. And I love, love, loooove how they've all grown even stronger.
Characters.
I generally like all of the main crew of the Strawhat Pirates, cause they're all so unique and with their own special skills and stories, and they just make a perfect team. I absolutely love them. But, if I have to make a list, then here's my top 5 favourites.
Number 5 :: Trafalgar Law
Didn't get to see much of him, but what little I saw made me permanently love him. He's just really badass. I squeed like a little girl when he showed up to save Luffy at the Marineford battle.
Number 4 :: Shanks
Shaaaaaaannnnnnnksssssss! Yeah, he's just too awesome for me to form proper words. Nuff said.
Number 3 :: Roroanoa Zoro
The most badass member of Luffy's crew, without a doubt. I fukken love him, his fighting style, his awesome personality, and his hilarious lack of sense of direction. Whenever he's on screen, I go squee.
Number 2 :: Monkey D. Luffy
The main character of the series, and by far the most awesome character in the history of characters. His carefree and straight forward personality just makes me love him, and I'd loooove to be a part of his crew. I fully support him becoming Pirate King!
Number 1 :: Portgas D. Ace
Agh. Just agh. This guy became my favourite character the very moment he came on screen for the first time, and I still love him. His style, his personality, well, everything about him. It's just plain awesome. I've seen a lot of loved characters die, and I've cried a lot over them, but Ace's death..? Never to this date have I ever cried so hard over a character dying. Screw logic, I'd give anything to bring him back to life again.
1st place :: FAIRY TAIL~
My number one favourite anime of all time! It has pretty much everything I like. Awesome characters, awesome stories, a fantastic world I'd love to be a part of, and even the style it's drawn in is my favourite (I'm picky about that, actually, and can't watch an anime if I don't like the style it's drawn in, no matter how good it is). It's a fun anime with lots of laughter and hilarious moments, but with that healthy dose of seriousness and sad moments, and it even have some hints of romance here and there, so it got pretty much everything I desire. Not to mention the fact that the main character uses keys as her main magic! This anime was love at first sight for me, and I doubt I'll ever find an anime that can top it. I've seen all they've made of it so far, and I just want moooooooooreeeeeeee!
Characters.
Wow, yeah, that's difficult. I love them all, cause they're all really awesome characters with great stories, and an interesting design to them. It's really hard to just pick a few to display as my favourites. (excuse the spelling, cause I go by the translations I've seen in the anime, and I don't really know if that's how you spell their names or not)
Number 10 :: Wendy Marvel
She brings the cute to the anime in a perfect way that's not too much or too little. I love watching her do battle, cause I like her style. It's also nice to see younger characters front an anime the way she does.
Number 9 :: Gajeel
Geehee. XD I hated his guts when he first showed up, and now he's one of my favourites. I love this god damned bastard! He's just really awesome. Also, I am such a fan of the Gajeel x Levy combo! They're one of my favourite pairings ever.
Number 8 :: Levy McGarden
Probably Lucy's closest friend, and one of the more underestimated characters in the series. Her ability is really awesome, and I really enjoy it whenever she's on screen, especially if Gajeel's around.
Number 7 :: Erza Scarlet
The strongest woman in the guild, and a really badass redhead. How can one not love her? I always enjoy watching her fight, though my favorite moments of her are when she's being all awkward. And I ship Erza x Jellal!
Number 6 :: Gray Fullbuster
That icy bastard. He had me as a fan from the very first moment he appeared. He is just really, really cool (hah, pun intended), especially when he gets all serious in a fight. I support both Gray x Lucy and Gray x Juvia, though the latter is my favourite pairing.
Number 5 :: Mystogan
I prefer him over Jellal, actually. His personality is way more awesome, and whenever he decided to get into the fighting, he made me go squee! He's just effin awesome! I want him baaaaaaaack! ;_;
Number 4 :: Loki
I usually don't like the playboys, but he's just special. The episodes where we got the truth about him are my favourite ones, cause his story just gets me. He is just plain awesome, and my absolute favourite pairing in the anime is Loki x Lucy, fyi! He may joke around, but I think he actually seriously DO love her.
Number 3 :: Natsu Dragneel
How can I not like him? His personality reminds me of both Naruto and Luffy, and I just love the way he never gives up. He'll always stand up, no matter how many times he falls down, and I love that about him. Also, I ship Natsu x Lisanna, without a doubt.
Number 2 :: Lucy Heartfilia
She's so awesome!! I love her magic. Love, love, love it! Also, her personality is just really awesome, and she makes the entire anime worth watching. It's also really nice to see anime with a girl as the main character, especially when there are so many other strong male characters. Aaaand, though I support pairing her up with just about anyone and everyone, my favourite pairing is Lucy x Loki.
Number 1 :: Mavis Vermilion
I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER! Typical me, falling for a dead character, but she's just too awesome not to like her. I mean, she's the founder of the guild, she has the most adorable personality ever (she reminds me so much of one of my own OCs, Citty.), and even though she's dead she's still powerful as fuck. I want more Mavis screen time! I really hope we get to see more of her story when they start making more of the anime.
Aaaaaaand, to wrap up this blog entry, I'mma give you all my list of absolute favourite anime characters of all time. Until next time; toodles~
Number 10 :: Kyo Sohma ~ from Fruits Basket
My favourite carrot-top ever! He may be hotheaded and temperamental, but on him I find it cute. He is by far my favourite zodiac, and if I had known him I'd hug him as often as I could. XD
Aaand, this would be the guy that makes me go mreeeeooow~ He is actually the only reason for why I started watching that anime in the first place. I saw an amv with him, and he reminded me so much of an OC of mine, Cajo, that I just had to check out the anime to see some more of him. He's now my favourite character in the entire anime, and still the main reason for why I watch it.
Number 8 :: Himura Kenshin ~ from Rurouni Kenshin
This used to be one of my favourite animes back when I was a teenager, and Kenshin is still one of my favourite characters. He's just too adorable not to love! Even to this day, I can still let an oro slip out of me every now and then, lol. I love his sweet and kind personality, that can often be awkward and clumsy, yet with a serious side to it when needed. Also, omg, redheaaaads~
Number 7 :: Yoko Littner ~ from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
My favourite female redhead! Yoko is kickass awesome, and gorgeous on top of that, and the main reason for why I decided to check out the anime in the first place. I definitely do not regret that I did. ;p
Number 6 :: Monkey D. Luffy ~ from One Piece
I so love his naive and straight forward personality. He's 100% honest at all times, about who he is and what he wants, and he'll always fight for his nakama. And when he gets angry, you're so fucked, cause there's absolutely no stopping this maniac! When he sets a goal, he'll reach it no matter what, and if you're stupid enough to get in the way then you'll get your ass kicked.
Number 5 :: Mavis Vermilion ~ from Fairy Tail
The founder of the Fairy Tail Guild, and the most adorable and awesome ghost ever. She has such a sweet and kind personality, with a hint of sillyness and a bit of serious. She really is my favourite character from that anime, and I absolutely adore her.
Number 4 :: Minato Namikaze ~ from Naruto
Naruto's late father and the 4th Hokage, also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash. He was such an amazing character. When we got to know more about him, and see what he was like when he was alive, I fell for him right away. His amazing personality makes it impossible not to like him, and he truly did deserve the title of 4th Hokage.
Number 3 :: Portgas D. Ace ~ from One Piece
Yeah, I don't know what more I can say about him. He had the most badass and charming personality ever, and I loved it whenever he showed up. The Battle at Marineford arc was by far the most emotional arc in all of One Piece for me, and just thinking about it gives me the chills. I think I got a bit of a weakness for flaming hot characters. ;p
Number 2 :: Chii ~ from Chobits
Oh, how I wish she was mine. Seriously, ever since I first watched Chobits, I've wanted her as my own. She's just too damned adorable, and she makes me all gooey on the inside, in a good way. Oh, the things I'd do to her.... XwX Ah, anyway! She's got to be my favourite female character ever, just because she's so darned cute. Pantsu!
Number 1 :: Lavi ~ from D.Gray-Man
Aaaand, then there's Lavi. By far my favourite male anime character. He's so fukken awesome, if I ever met him irl I'd probably pass out from a typical anime-nosebleed. I just can't get enough of him. I swear, if that guy was real, he'd turn me straight just by looking at me, and I'd love it. He does funky things with my mind, he does... He's got the most charming personality ever, and he's a redhead! How can you not love that? Laaaavi, come kidnap me from this woooorld~
