Character of the Month - November

She's mean, kawaii, dangerous and totally NOT the stereotypical female characters that we see in plenty of Shoujo Anime/Manga. She is short, dangerous and famously known for being the "Palmtop Tiger" of her class. Hailing from the Anime Toradora, November's Character of the Month is none other than *drumrolls*.................... TAIGA AISAKA!!!

Watch'a lookin at?

Character Profile:

Taiga is a girl in Ryūji's class. She has a well-regulated and beautiful appearance though is unable to stomach company from others. Due to her often snapping at others in brutal ways and her short stature, she is given the nickname "Palmtop Tiger".

Her under-developed body and the added nickname has given her a complex which in turn serves to give her a negative attitude and facial expression.

Essentially, Taiga gets upset easily and is considerably clumsy. She is also brutally honest, typically when she is lashing out at someone. Due to her cute looks (described as a doll by Ryūji), she often gets confessions of love by boys, but she turns down every one of them, including Yūsaku Kitamura (which she later regrets).

Taiga-chan thanks MAC for putting her as Character of the Month ^__^

About the Anime:
Toradora is a really fantastic series to watch and will be loved by those who enjoy school life type Anime with a sense of humor. One of the best talking points about the Anime is that it grabs you right from the first episode.

It's realistic and remains humorous without creating any non-sense. It's also a story of characters who are entwined in the mess of love, and how 2 of them (Taiga and Ryuji) get together to help each other out with their love interests.

The Opening and Ending songs are pretty entertaining. The slow background music in the Anime really gives out a calm, happy feel when watching the Anime. Considered as an intimidating delinquent (Ryuji) and a scary looking girl (Taiga), the story that develops between the two of them is truly heart warming :)

In all a really great Anime to watch. ^__^ Definite recommendation :)

The main characters of Toradora! (from left to right): Ryūji, Yūsaku, Taiga, Minori, and Ami.

Character of the Month - September

The Anime Character of the Month this time none other than Yuko Ichihara, yes the most glamorous sorceress ever to set foot in the Anime Kingdom. XD Apart from being mysterious in her nature and behavior, she has the charms that will make anyone go, "WOW!". *__* Trust me, I certainly did. :P We thought of having a strong yet kick-ass type of a character this time, and Yuko more than meets those requirements. An epic combination of brain and beauty covered with mysteriousness throughout.

Character Profile

Yuko Ichihara is one of the main characters from xxxHolic. She also plays as an vital crossover character for the Anime Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.

In xxxHolic, Yūko Ichihara is the owner of a mysterious shop in Tokyo. She is a dealer in wishes as she will grant the sincere wish of anyone who is willing to make an appropriate sacrifice in return; the price is always equivalent to the weight of the wish, no more, no less.
She is apparently one of the few people with the power to send people to multiple worlds, such that she has been aptly named The Dimensional Witch.

Trivia

* Her true name is not yet revealed.
* She loves alcohol, which leads to sending Watanuki to the pharmacy every time she's got a hangover.
* She has a past relationship with Clow Reed.
* She believes that there is no coincidence in the world, but there is only hitsuzen (destiny, fate)
* She has her specific clothing that she always wear whenever she shows up in Tsubasa Chronicles.
* Her customers and clients no longer remember her as she has died.

Character of the Month - August

Considering Ullquiora -sama is my idol, it's impossible to not dedicate a thread to HIM :P.

Ullquiorra is the fourth Espada in the Aizen's army and a character from Bleach. He is one of Ichigo's (lame) main rivals and Kubo has devoted lot of time to him considering his fanbase :P. He is slender but muscular and has his hollow hole near his chest which defects to near his voicebox in the later episodes. His hand spear jab move which is his favorite hand-to-hand combat move punctures the opponent's heart which is a flying reference to his own hollow hole. His other prominent features include green lines from both his eyebrows which make him seem like he's crying (but to your disappointment he isn't a EMO, FYI that may pretty well be his battle paint). He has a keen eye which gives him an edge over the others.
His sword release quote is Tozase Murciélago.
His other abilities include Sonido, Gran ray cero and cero oscuras.
He is the only Espada to have a second transformation which is Resurrección Segunda Etapa. In this form his Lanza del Relámpago turns out to be a finisher.

Anyways his untimely death at the hands of a overpowered Ichigo made me loose interest in Bleach but that's a story for tomorrow.

Character of the Month - July

Hey hey, welcome back to the Anime Character of the month :P.
Feels good to see you looking forward to this. Your comments make my life worthwhile ._.

Everyone who has ever stepped into a video game arcade shop knows Street fighter. Its one of the most played and money-milk-cow arcade fighting game produced by CapCom. So its fitting to give it a Hi-5. The character of the month is none other than Ryu.
Ryu signifies determination,perseverance and a calm demeanor. He tends to train most of the time and is extremely fond of his friend Ken Masters who are mostly seen sparring together. Ryu learnt martial arts from Gouken who taught him moves like Hadouken , Shoryuken and its varied styles. Ryu's main rivals are Shadaloo-an underworld organization and Sagat who was defeated mercilessly by Ryu in a tournament.

It is said that usage of the Hadouken increases one's evil intent and it was this evil intent which put Ryu in a rage and he could defeat Sagat. Knowing this, he now hunts for an answer, a solution to his martial art style side effect and wanders and trains wholeheartedly.

Specials : Hadouken , Shinkuu Hadouken , Metsuhadouken , Shoryuuken , Shinkuu Shoryuuken and Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku.

P.S : The picture depicts Ryu engulfed by the dark Hadou.

Character of the Month - June

The Anime character of the month is Goku a.k.a Kakarot a.k.a Son Goku from the Dragon Ball series. A infant Saiyan who was sent to destroy Earth ends up being a savior of Earth and the universe against many mighty enemies.


Most noteworthy amongst his enemies include Vegeta, Broly, Freiza, Cell and Majin Buu. He personifies Hope, Faith and purity. His signature move is the Kamehameha. He is the first saiyan after thousands of years to achieve ascension. His Super Saiyan transformation has saved him from lots of painful battles. Till the end of DragonBall GT, Goku masters Super Saiyan 4. His have-to-win attitude added to his deadly arsenal of fighting talents makes him a very formidable ally to the Earth.

Arguably the strongest character the Anime world has ever seen.

“If I won’t ,who will?!”
