More or less. He just shows up, poses wildly for no reason, gives weird advice and exits stage left. He's a bit of a parody of the cool guy and of a bishonen from a shoujo manga/anime. He reminds me of a JoJos Bizarre Adventure character who just happens to exist in a series that is otherwise played fairly straight and it's amazing.

Humorous, but I disagree.

Hachiman Hikigaya is clearly the best:

Nope. Clearly, L and Pain are the best in anime:

Oh, are we competing on this? In that case...

IT'S NOT OVER YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!





TONIGHT!

Though, if Katori-senpai has any competition, it's from Sosuke Sagara.

[DestronMirage22]

Oh, IT'S ON!!









Hachiman's wise beyond his years.
He knows how people work and how the world works.
That being said, although he comes off as a solitary dude with many ideals, he still a normal guy at heart, one that's willing to stick up for others and he even has a bit of a pervy side to him.

Ok then. Counter this

Dammit dl316bh!! You made me like Tsurezure Children! Because of you I've been looking up clip after clip of the show on YouTube.

I guess I lose this little battle, huh? (Plus I ran out of good Hachiman videos)
Now it's just up to you two to duke it out.

Just finished reading vol 2 of the Yugioh Arc-V manga, it was so glad seeing Sora being the sadistic piece of sh!t that he was in the first half of the show.

I quit, I also ran out of videos to show plus I don't think dl316bh will give in. Nevertheless, I think Pain and L are the best. Pain has solid background and motive to do what he does, and L is the best awkward detective ever who stands for justice and will use any means to get answers. I rest my case.

Katori-senpai gotcha, didn't he? It's alright. When it comes to Katori-senpai, we are all Kazuko.

Aww, I was gonna post more Sousuke. You're right though, I wouldn't just give up.

I am out of Katori clips, though. Tsuredere Children hasn't wrapped yet, but I put up all I have. I'd need to post manga pages for more. I can never tell if it's more fun when he gives advice to all the other characters on relationship stuff or when he's interacting with Kazuko and she slowly loses her mind. There's one where Katori ends up in a rap battle. Then there's the time when he has temporary amnesia and is scared of how popular he is.

Katori-senpai was a character I never knew I wanted until he happened.

[Allio]

just got Death Note all in one manga collection that ViZ put out for the movie. hey, 13 books for $26 I like that.

No it wasn't him. Not entirely. He's a good character *cough* although Hachiman's still better *cough* but he wasn't what drew me into the show.

I really like the cast of characters and I've always had a soft spot for relationships (probably 'cause I'm so bad at them) so it's been a real treat seeing these characters get along and start relationships and it's even cute when they don't know what they're doing. This show's really unique and has its own brand of charm.

What was that? I thought I heard something in that cough there. Something blasphemous. @____@

Yeah, this is all true. Every character has a distinct personality and no two relationships are the same. Which is amazing, because this series has a lot of them. If you ever check out the manga, you'll see that there are quite a few the anime hasn't even touched on yet, if they will at all. Including Patricia, who is a foreigner who is iffy with Japanese, and thus has somehow swapped "sushi" for "love", confusing everyone around her. She only cameos in episode ten so far (and I think earlier) and the opening.

Comedy Duo couple is the best.

The whole show so far is on Crunchyroll, so you don't need to just stick to youtube to watch it all.

Anyone here seen Ping Pong the animation, its my favorite sports anime of all time and this is coming from the guy who loved Eyeshield 21

[Allio]

found a new manga series that seems interesting. takes place fuedal japan a young girl that has 1 year to live is looking for immortality and a 800 year old immortal is looking for a way to die, they are journeying together to find a way to create/kill an immortal

[DestronMirage22]

Started watching Watamote: No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!.
It's really good so far.
I can really relate to the main character in regards to her dedication to her interests and in her struggles with her social and mental issues.

[Splinter the boss]

I gave up on darker than black. I started watching Kaze no Stigma, it's really good. The MC is cool, I like the way he speaks, and his greed of money.

[DestronMirage22]

Today I went to my usual store for discount manga.
Bought the only volume of Watamote they had (Vol. 10) for a really good price.
When reading through it, I found out I had inadvertently bought the one with the mini-crossover Watamote had with Oregairu:

So cool.

If this segment isn't animated by the end of Tsuredure Children, I'm going to be upset.




DON'T GO! I'M SO SCARED OF HOW POPULAR I AM!

Katori is best senpai.
