August 29th 2003 entry
All-right, so this neglected blog of mine is finally updated. I bet no-one cares. I don't care. Neither do you. Neither does the rest of the world. All-right, fine, I'm cantankerous, and I'm not exactly omitting a very affinity-centered vibe right now. Maybe it's because of Post-Whatever-Stress-Syndrome. Maybe it's because of the I'm-Me-Syndrome. Whatever it is, I'm not too sure. And my parents have just come home. To find me typing away on the internet while trying to upload a picture I did. Or non-picture, whatever you choose. I tend to think it's 'abstract.' Really. Abstract is a nice word for "piece of crap" or all that innuendo. Anyway, my whole point of actually running this blog is to rant. And here it is, the first of all rants that I have ever put up.
Top 10 most hated characters in Anime (least to most)
- Uchiha Sasuke - Oh yes, at first he was cool. He was strong. He could fight. And he had a 'jack-ass' personality that everyone tends to like. Problem? Veering around episode 19, this little boy obtains fan-girls and a knack for having stronger ninjas to question who he is. And he 'leads' the group. Since when has Sasuke become leader? Why is he the one standing in the middle of the screen with Sakura and Naruto beside him? For ****'s sake, this anime is titled Naruto! Not Sasuke! And no matter how cool Sasuke might be, with his quirky moves and intelligence, he will never replace Naruto. And he's too perfect. So perfect that it's nearly unbelievable the way he is. Yes, he has a burden on his shoulders (needs to kill dear, old bro) but that too is unrealistic. Sasuke's too perfect! Now take Lee, for example (you'll see him in 21), strong, teacher's pet...but he has a fault...he's so damn ugly he can make even me cry. So you see, Sasuke is just another one of those perfect characters out there who you can't help but hate.
- Rukawa Kaede - Another perfect example of the 'Sasukes' out there.
- Tessa from Full Metal Panic - This silver haired chick with the high squeaky, voice that is so common amongst 'Mary Sues' of her age never fails to make me want to throw a tissue box (or glass mug) at the TV screen. She is that annoying. She practically takes Sagara away from Kaname! And here I was thinking: Kaname's pretty bad herself, too perfect, too pretty, too big a chest, too smart; and suddenly comes in Tessa and all I could do was grip my seat in shock. Come to think of it, I really wish that this character was killed off! T'would have been fun...
- Tomoyo from CCS - I hate Tomoyo. I really do. She's so typical, so cliché, so utterly 'ugh' factor that I can't help but hate her. I mean, she designs clothes for Sakura, video-tapes her and admires them on a big screen TV! Talk about neurosis! Do rich, Japanese, 10 year old girls really do that? If so, they are a scary bunch. Now back to the point. Tomoyo is just too Tomoyo. She doesn't fit inside the story line. We need a stronger character for Sakura to rely on besides one of the opposite gender (Li). Tomoyo's too supporting. Tomoyo's too uncritical. Tomoyo is just too obsessed. Frankly, I'm scared of Tomoyo.
- Akari from Hikaru no Go - She has her faults. She really does. She's so stupid that she can't go to school (it's true, I read it off the net). But that's all-right, she's a bubbly, perky air-head who would cheer Hikaru on no matter what whilst not proclaiming her undying love for him. She is your typical example of the 'left-behind-fangirl.' Argh, make her get run over by a truck.
- Julia from Cowboy Bebop - Now Julia is someone I really despise. She took Spike away from Faye! She took Spike's life away by dying! Now how many people in the world can cause trouble when they're dead? And plus she played with both Spike and Vicious. Now they were cool characters; they fought, they were strong both externally and internally, and she messed it all up. She messed the whole series up. Her presence hung over the atmosphere, whenever Spike heard her name, he would quietly excuse himself and probably go to his room to glomp on a pillow or something while muttering sweet obscenities to it wishing it were Julia. Guys like that don't go for girls like that. And even if they do, it's to have a little bit of fun. Or 'rolicking around the hay' as some like to call it. Whatever it is, Julia sucked. Majorly.
- Mizuki from GTO - Onizuka was awesome. Onizuka was funny. Most of all, Onizuka was a perv who shouldn't have cared for little miss rich girl's temper tantrum problem. Just because her parents weren't close, she tried to pry away attention by making money off of dear, old Onizuka who lived in poverty. And she was such a cry-baby. Throughout the first chapter of her appearance, she gave off the wave that she was a 'bad kid,' but that quickly shifted into the typical 'depressed, hormonal teenager' mode, and she was off becoming the worst character ever. Mizuki's and Onizuka's relationship could have become something. If only she didn't apologize for doing what she did and revealed her true side. Brr.
- Nana from Crayon Shinchan - Now I know what you're thinking. Nana is supposed to be just a kid. Well all goes to show that I hate most kids. Especially kids who force their friends to play Barbie and cry over a lost, dead gerbil. She'll grow up exactly like Julia. Or even worse, Tessa. But if I were predicting, I'd go for the latter.
- Haruko from Slam Dunk - Gak, if I were stuck in a room with this perky, enamored, hormone-driven, so-called typical version of a love-struck teenager, please remember to put a gun in the room. So I could shoot her dead. Really, her obsession with Rukawa combined with that essence of 'sensibility' she manages to pertain when she 'nags' somebody 'lovingly' is quite, well, weird. She's the typical girl I would have to hate. She's weak. She needs protection, mentally, and most likely physically. She's perfect otherwise. And why do I hate these characters? Simply because I can't enjoy the presence of a character who can't be strong and independent. I don't like characters with no faults. I like reading and watching 'humans' on the screen, not divine beings from up above who bestow me with broken lessons and all that innuendo.
- Tohru from Fruits Basket - Ah yes, the ultimate character I just cannot stand. It's true, her and Kyou would make a very interesting pair, particularly because their relationship won't be based on 'lovey-dovey-love' like hers and Yuki's would be, and also because Tohru and Kyou are complete opposites. But really, back to the point. Tohru cooks. Tohru cleans. Tohru is protected. Tohru always has friends. Tohru is sweet. Tohru is motherly. Tohru is didactic. Tohru is too perfect. Sense a pattern? Tohru is too wise beyond her years. This dizzy airhead has given so much lessons that it seems rather unrealistic that a girl her age could have so much astuteness in her brain. And let me tell you, her brain isn't exactly the biggest of spaces, either. She messed up the series with her squeaky voice and her naturally affected personality. I hated her from start to finish. Too weak. Way to weak. The girl should get some back-bone, we wouldn’t want her to cry the salt and water out of her body in an instant now, would we?
And now for the honorary position
- Lizzie McGuire - Now, she's not exactly an anime character, but because I despise her so much, I had to put in an honorary position for her. Dizzy Ms. Lizzie is the orthodox version of blonde airhead. She teaches everyone that the only worry and teenager needs to care about is if their nail polish is one shade too light (or too dark, your preference). And Dizzy Ms. Lizzie also manages to say to whatever viewers she has out there that any 14 year old can go to a trip to Rome where they will instantly meet up with a great star and perform their way to the apex of their careers. Oh, and she also says that no matter what, little brothers will never cease to haunt you with their pranks that you can dodge every day. And what is with her clumsiness? Is it supposed to add a fault to her? It didn't work. It only made her even more ‘Dizzy’. Like she's on speed or cocaine, maybe even LSD. Or maybe she has the munchies. Another 'asset' to the story that never manages to elude me is the fact that all middle-classed families will give a cordless phone, boom-box, 2 of the newest laptops, many, many video-cameras, digital photography equipment, and 3652 pairs of clothes and shoes to wear for the decade (the extra 2 is for leap years) for each of their children. Oh yeah, and friends don't need to ask parents to visit every single day. They also don't need a car. They can just walk 30 kilometers to their friends' houses. It makes them healthy.
Can you blame me for not liking these characters?
August 23rd 2003 entry
Yes, I love Seifer and Quistis pairings. Shuddup.
Go to Seiftis Board
Kudos to whoever made this. It's so pretty I could cry.
Whoop de do. So you've finally stumbled into this shabby site of mine. I don't know what to say except that I suck at HTML, or have a small knowledge of it, such that my site is incrediblyboring.
Anyway, all introductions and formalities aside, this is my blog. Yes. My dear, old, one day aged blog. And Mr.Blog isn't very nice either, Mr.Blog, like my computer, likes to eat away at lines. Mr. Blog does not make images appear. And this time I actually put down the right links too. I can cry. But I won't. I hate crying. It's not me, and it will never be 'me.'
You all probably think I'm some cynical kid, and truth be told, my computer does too.
Things that irk me: chapter 1, volume 1.
- Mary-Sues. What could possibly be more annoying? I suppose people in Japan really like characters such asJulia (cowboy bebop). I still haven't fully forgiven Spike-baby for going after her and ffing dying. What has the world come to?
- Another thing I completely hate is when others decide to pat me on the head. Now I say there is nothign wrong with this, but it makes me feel even more short than I am. That is correct. I am short. I am no longer in denial about it, after all, how could I deny the fact that everyone else is 3 or 4 inches taller than me?
- I can't stand people who judge me. That's correct. Just because I'm Asian doesn't mean I'm some book-worm that teeters on the edges of adversity.
- Why hasn't JV Jones made more books? I love her books. I hate Melli though. She's a Mary Sue. Ick.

Faye and Spike
I'm completely bored out of my mind as of late. Went to the mall today. Saw a couple of people chase my friend and me around so that we could buy perfume. We didn't buy it, in the end, for it smelled like a bag of trout intermixed with an expired batch of crocodile liver. Yes, that scary.
I have this fetish for playing around with font sizes and all that innuendo. I can't understand why people don't like to do it! Maybe it's because it annoys other people? Anyway, I haven't figured out how to actually write in different fonts. Karp, the deity of food, knows that I hate that font. I would much prefer Arial. Or, to some degree, that 'wingding' thing. It looks cool, and I have fun cracking the code.
so we're back to where we were and I guess I've finally decided to make note of this.
What I'm listening to
- Natalie Imbruglia: Torn
- Clay Aiken: Invisible
- Ruben Studdard: Flying Without Wings.
- Seal: Kiss From a Rose
- Evanescence: Bring Me to Life
So you see, all these together never really did make such a great mix. But in a way it's kind of funky, I guess that's just me talking though. As for now, I need lip balm. Seriously need it. My lips are cracking open and I fear if I leave them dry for one more minute they might start to fall off. Yes, I'm melodramatic, but I'll start to try and make it a good trait instead of one that annoys the heck out of everyone. *cat ears*
