Anime / Re: Your Favorite Anime Characters

1) Nagato Yuki (Haruhi series): A quiet girl who only talks when absolutely necessary. She is reliable and one of the most loyal person I've seen. She is also strong, doing her best finding her place in an environment she has been placed into.
2) Ayanami Rei (NGE): Similarly to Yuki she is quiet and is having a hard time fitting in. She is strong, fighting fearlessly, but weak at the same time (when she has to interact with others).
3) Rakka (Haibane Renmei): A clumsy, kind-hearted girl in search of answers. Absolutely loved seeing the plot unfold and how she dealt with her new life.
4) Konno Makoto (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time): A realistic and sympathetic character, someone with whom you could have lots of fun. She can be lazy and irresponsible every now and again, but at critical times it is obvious that she is a good person.
5) Yui-nyan (Angel Beats!): Full of life, always in the middle of doing something, having an undying passion for music and being a fun person, she instantly became one of my favorites.

My top five in alphabetical order:

Bakemonogatari: Loved the characters and the story of each arc. I'm also one of those people who actually liked the visuals presented by SHAFT. Also, Episode 12 was just fantastic in every way imaginable.

Clannad+AS: The first anime to make me cry like a little girl. Excellent music, lovely characters and touching story.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya: This movie was just something else. While nothing is perfect, this is what I could describe as the closest thing to it from my perspective. From the visuals/sound, to the characters and the story, everything was just exceptionally well done. It's 2h42m long, but I have rewatched it the week after I have first seen it, and was still not bored at all. It was just a bonus that it focused on my favorite character and not on the titular one, whom I don't love that much.

Haibane Renmei: The atmosphere completely enchanted me. It was a slow shown but still absolutely enjoyable, with genuine drama and important themes. It also made me aware of Yoshitoshi Abe of whom I'm a big fan now.

Texhnolyze: A slow and depressing show, but one with a unique atmosphere again. The characters, the visuals and the themes all add up to a thrilling journey. I also liked the ending, not the usual stuff you see.

Anime / Re: The Worst Anime This Season?!

I'm not following every series, but from those that I watch, I find Kami-sama no Memo-chou to be the least good. The first episode fooled me, thinking it will have nice mysteries and interesting characters to interact with each other. Every episode is just weaker than the one before. There is hardly any mystery by now, and I really hate how Alice treats the MC. I think the undeserved abuse is an unnecessary element, it's not that funny after seeing it in so many shows.
