Skuld (Oh My Goddess!!)

The anime character of this week is Skuld from the Oh My Goddess (Aa! Megami-sama or Ah!! My Goddess) anime and manga series. This is the little sister of Belldandy and Urd. Skuld’s personality is at first very bratty and immature. The reason why Skuld’s is so bratty at first is because, she cares a lot for Belldandy and hates that her older sister made a contract with Keiichi Morisato to be his girlfriend forever. However, over the series, Skuld slowly develops a friendship with Keiichi once she learns how nice and caring he is to Belldandy. Skuld is also a genius with a knack for electronics and building things. She built a robot called Banpei which is the bodyguard of the temple and Belldandy’s personal protector. Personally, Skuld is probably the most dynamic main character from the Oh My Goddess series. I highly recommend watching and reading this classic anime and manga series. Here is a fandom link for more about Skuld: https://ohmygoddess.fandom.com/wiki/Skuld.

Yohko (Devil Hunter Yohko)

The anime character for this week is Yohko from the six part OVA series Devil Hunter Yohko, which was released back in 1990 and finished in 1995. The story is about Yohko, a teenage high school student who is trying to find a balance between fighting demons and trying to live a normal life. Yohko is the 108th generation of devil hunters. Her mother would have been the next in line devil hunter if she didn’t get pregnant with Yohko. Also, devil hunters must be pure virgins, which, in the first OVA, there are some very interesting situations that come up which puts Yohko’s virginity to the test. Personally, the first OVA has a interesting combination of horror, comedy, and a transformation sequence of Yohko transforming into the Devil Hunter like Serena transforming into Sailormoon. Throughout the series, Yohko gains a partner to fight the demons, Azusa, who is a devil hunter in training. Azusa is kinda clumsy, but she does help out tremendously when the going gets tough. Btw, Devil Hunter Yohko 4-ever is just a music video compilation. Here is a Wikipedia link for more on this unique anime OVA series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Hunter_Yohko.

Iria (Zeiram The Animation)

The anime character for this week is one of my favorite anime characters from the past. Iria is a bounty hunter who has gadgets and weapons that would make Batman envious. Iria has a very tough job, hunting down the most dangerous monster in the universe, Zeiram.

(This is Zeiram. This monster is indestructible and also killed Iria’s brother. Another interesting thing about Zeiram is that it has a detactable head which looks like a flying frisbee that can chew you to pieces).

There are also two live action Iria movies which you can find on Right Stuff Anime that are pretty fun to watch as well. I definitely recommend checking out this classic series!!

This week’s anime character is Sasami Masaki Jurai from Tenchi Muyo. Sasami is beloved by not only Tenchi Muyo fans, but fans of anime as well. What makes Sasami such a popular character, is that, despite her young age, she is very mature (though in the first OVA series, she was mischevious with Tenchi and Ayeka). Also, Sasami is a great cook and housekeeper at the Masaki household. She also acts as a mediator between Ryoko and Ayeka when things gets heated between the two over Tenchi’s affections. Here is an excellent fandom link with more info about this extremely popular character: https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Sasami

The anime character of this week is none other than the famous Lum from Rumiko Takahashi‘s classic anime and manga series Urusei Yatsura (Those Obnoxious Aliens). Lum has always been a favorite character of mine ever since I was reading the manga series back during my high school times. She has a lovable personality and is extremely devoted to her “darling” Ataru Moroboshi.

Ataru’s life will never be same ever again (scene from the first episode of the TV series) (^_^)

Urusei Yatsura is a huge series from Rumiko Takahashi with over 195 episodes, 6 movies, and 12 OVA’s. Here is an excellent fandom about this beloved character: https://uruseiyatsura.fandom.com/wiki/Lum

The anime character for this week is one of the most popular characters from Tenchi Muyo, Ryoko Hakubi. What makes Ryoko such a beloved character is her personality. Even though Ryoko is a notorious semi space pirate wanted by the galaxy police (especially in the OVA series), she is generally a kind hearted person who enjoys living life to the fullest. Ryoko is also a love interest and close friend to Tenchi Masaki, yet competes with Ayeka Jurai for Tenchi’s affections.

Anime Character Of The Week August 22, 2021

The anime character of this week is Naomi Armitage from the anime, OVA series, and movies Armitage III Polymatrix and Dual Matrix. Armitage is a third. Third’s are humanoid androids which looks, blends in, and acts like real humans. While Armitage is technically an android, she has feelings and emotions just like a real person. Throughout the series, Armitage (voiced by Elizabeth Berkeley in Polymatrix) and her partner Ross Sylibus (Keifer Sutherland also in the Polymatrix movie)  fight not only for their survival, but also to uncover the secret origins of the thirds. This is definitely a classic anime series you really should check out. Btw, the first movie, Polymatrix is basically the OVA’s made into one movie. If you want to know more about some questions that didn’t get answered from the first movie, go back and watch the OVA series.

Here’s a real dynamic duo: Minnie May Hopkins (left) and Rally Vincent (right)

The anime character of the week is Rally Vincent from the three part anime ova and manga series Gunsmith Cats. Rally Vincent is a guns expert while her partner Minnie May Hopkins is an explosives expert. What makes Rally Vincent so interesting is the fact that she can tell by feeling a gun if it is loaded on not (from the first OVA episode). Also, Rally can sometimes shot and hit enemies without even seeing them! If you have not watched the Gunsmith Cats OVA or read the manga, I highly recommend checking both out. Also, Rally is in the Riding Bean movie as a partner in crime with Bean Bandit. For more about Rally Vincent, check out this fandom page: https://gunsmithcats.fandom.com/wiki/Rally_Vincent
