As the title might indicate, this weeks list was a
suggestion from the little sister herself.
My sister and I have been watching Anime as far back as Dragon Ball Z on
Saturday mornings. But much like it was
for me, greater love for Anime didn’t hit her until Gundam Wing. We bonded over that show immensely and today
she’s sometimes finding me new shows and movies (Soul Eater, Psycho Pass) to
enjoy and occasionally I can talk her into one as well (Gundam 00). This may have seemed like a joke at the time
but I fully intended to take it seriously.
So shout out to the sis, these are her Top 5 Anime Squee Moments
#5-Ryo-Ohki Arrives
Throw in as much cuteness as you can and my sister will
be sold on most series. Tenchi Muyo was
an odd one to see she enjoyed. Did she
really get a lot out of a warrior in training surrounded by six beautiful
women, some competing for his attention?
Not sure tbh. But she did get
extremely googly eyed over the arrival of the tiny furball that was
Ryo-Ohki. A Cabit (it looks like a
whiskered bunny and says MEOW) of unparalled cuteness and capable of
transforming into a spaceship at will, it’s the perfect fuzzball package any
girl would want. You could snuggle with
it overnight then use it to get to work the next day…just so long as it gets
its carrots, like I said, part bunny.
#4-Ein Arrives
Anyone can love Cowboy Bebop for it simply being a
totally awesome, accessible Anime for everyone.
But again, the cuteness was a draw in one regard: the data dog Welsh
Korgi Ein. His first appearance in
Episode 2 upped the AWWW factor to an otherwise fun but dark series. Ein put Korgi’s back on the map big time and
im sure if my sister wanted a pet dog, that’s the one she’d go for. Hell, she’d probably name him Ein as well.
#3-First Transformation of Sailor Uranus and Sailor
Neptune
Everyone loved Sailor Moon growing up, myself
included. But it was the first
appearance of everyones favorite Senshi In Love Duo that threw the shows
popularity into overdrive. Not only were
Uranus and Neptune the epitome of bad ass in my sisters book but they also had
the best transformation sequences. I
mean just listen to that music alongside them, so fierce and elegant and a full
blown announcement of plenty of ass just waiting to be kicked? My sis is a fan of girls in Anime who can
kick ass and these two set a high bar to follow.
#2-First Appearance of Deathsythe Hell (SPOILERS!!!)
So remember when I said my sister and I really got our
Anime bonding in with Gundam Wing?
Imagine how we both felt when our favorite tool of destruction, the
Gundam Deathsythe was finally destroyed by the enemy. We were gutted to say the least. But our sorrow didn’t last long. My sister was practically cheering when the
Gundam Deathsythe Hell was rolled out for the first time. With a cloak of invisibility that deflected
beams and a kick ass twin beam sythe, her bad boy Gundam was reborn and better
than ever. It’s taken some effort to get
my sister into more Gundam and I partly blame this suit for stealing her heart.
#1-First Appearance of Duo Maxwell
Well if the Gundam was #2, of course the pilot is
#1. Duo Maxwell, bringer of death,
destruction and a joke on the fly. I
know my sis was a fan of most of the core five pilots but I really think she
would be alright if only Duo made it to the end ok. How could you not love when this guy first
appeared on the scene and unleashed his quote of bad assery, “You’ll all
die. Anyone who sees me has got a date
with his maker.” Tack on the excellent
voice work of Scott McNeil and you’ve got the ponytailed pilot who makes girls
swoon and thus has an eternal spot in my sisters heart.
Lots of hugs to ya little sis, keep watching Anime and sharing em with me :)
