Screen Junkies: "For decades now the popularity of Japanese animation, or anime, has been increasing rapidly with no end. People, including us, fall head over heels for these adult themed complex comics and series with touching stories and completely badass characters. However, we do have our favorites in the anime world! Here are seven of the most badass anime characters we would die for."
Good article, but Lucy's entry is kinda wrong. For one, she doesn't have ears she has horns growing out of her head. Also, she doesn't control viruses but vectors (invisible hands for those of you who haven't read the manga or seen the anime).
Haruhi Suzumiya
no Major Motoko Kusanagi?
she ripped her own arms off to beat a tank, how much more badass can you get?
Some of those are pretty badass, but I don't agree with Lucy. She's more like a girl with a lot of baggage and an insanely overpowered weapon than badass.
I'd also put Hei from DtB there, as well as Shizu-chan from DRRR, Mira from FMA and Theresa from Claymore.
guts from berserk says hi
