Wow, i think that's about it, there were a lot of NES games, at least that's what i remember and of course what i still have, now to be fair, there were a lot of games in that time that i have in the Famicom version, like Captain Tsubasa, also, there were some of them too that they come in one cartridge, like Soccer and Double Dribble, now i realize that it was wrong to buy them like that, but please, have in mind that i was a kid who wanted to play games, didn't matter shape, price or even quality.

BTW, the meaning of the * is that i currently don't have the game anymore, maybe i lost it, someone borrowed to me, or it was just a rent.

Also, if someone find a wrong name, or something wrong on my grammar, please let me know in the comments.

One last thing, i will edit this later to put if a finish the game or not. Next time i will put a list for SNES, GB, N64, PSOne, etc, etc, etc.

My Top 10, all time favorite Anime/Manga girls. (Part 2)

This is the second part of my list, hope you guys enjoy it and share a comment, also i would like to say that if there are any mistakes in my expressions or my grammar, please let me know, because as a non English speaker is a great way to learn and improve, so let's start.

5.- Akiha Tohno from Tuskihime

Probably the least know character in my entire list, Akiha is a character from the manga Tsukihime, there is also an Anime, but to be honest, i didn't like her much there, i mean, she has the same personality, but she doesn't display her powers, so once again, i'm going with the Manga version.

I know this manga because of the game Melty Blood Act Cadenza, some friend import it because he was a huge fan of the Anime, anyway, the game is great, is a figthing game, think about Darkstalker in terms of gameplay, and Akiha is my favorite and best character, so i really like the game and i have to know more about the characters and like i say, the Anime is good but not that good, so i went for the Manga and i found it a lot better.

Akiha is the current heir leader of the Tohno family, a wealthy family that has a little peculiarity, they have demonic blood trough their veins, so in order to display those powers she needs the human heat, and the best way to obtain this is drinking human blood, now, that's cool, specially when she drinks it from her hot young maid and this may sound ecchi, but is not at all.

Let's talk about her personality, she is a kind and nice girl, a little bit though with her brother, nevertheless she loves him, maybe too much for her own sake, but what i really liker from her is that she is like this refined lady, but when she or somebody she cares is in danger she shows her powers at full, and she kicks ass, maybe that's why i like her so much, her power is so cool, and i love her design too, a dark haired girl, but when she is serious, her hair turn red like blood, she goes from sweet and kind to a fierce fight.

akiha akiha1

I love her hair turning from black to red.

4.- Maka Albarn from Soul Eater

One of the reasons of why Konata is in number 6, this girl from Soul Eater is one of my new favorite girls, the show is great, and i can't wait to finish the Anime to start reading the manga.

Let's describe her design, she is a skinny young girl (14 years old i think) wearing a school skirt and a black long coat, pretty cool looking design if you ask me, also her main weapon is a Scythe, yep, a scythe, that's even more cool, you dont see in Animes this kind of weapon to often, it's different from your usual sword wielders, and the action sequences with her weapon are really well done.

Maka is a meister, a meister is a term used in the series to describe a person who has a weapon with a soul, she is a student from Shibuesen, a school to teach young meister how to hunt persons with evil souls, so, Maka and her weapon, Soul Eater have to hunt 99 souls and 1 witch soul to become an ultimate weapon, and of course, Maka could become a recognized meister just like her mother, which she highly admires.

What i like about Maka besides her design and her fight ****is of course her personality, at first she is a confident student, very smart by the way, willing to face the dangers of her mission, but after a dangerous mission that almost cost his weapon life she start to feel insecure and scared that because of her another accident could happen, so she propose herself to become a stronger person facing her fears and overcoming them.

One more thing that i like its her humor, Soul Eater is a very comical show, it mix action and jokes too often, more than most shows were they are too serious or too comical, Soul Eater is like 50-50, and i have to tell you, that the comical aspect works really good, and with Maka its not the exception, when Maka have funny moments like the Maka Chop she is not annoying at all, like for example Sakura Haruno, instead she is fun to watch, her voice, her expressions, her faces, they are all really good, and that make her a really likable character. Almost forgot, her seiyu is great, i read that is her first job, but she did an incredible job, really, really good job, IMO since Aya Hirano's Konata, i haven't heard such a great job, she can say funny lines and dramatic ones and you really believe her, that's why i like so much Maka Albarn.

Maka maka1

In my opinion she is a great character and her relationship with her weapon is highly enjoyable.

3.- Inoue Orihime from Bleach

What a huge surprise was this character for me, first i just wanna say that Bleach is another series i'm recently watching/reading, and even though i knew about some of it's characters i honestly believe that Orihime was just the sex symbol of the series, thank God she is not.

Orihime may look like your typical Anime bimbo huge breasted girl, but she is way more than that, at first she is like this dumb girl in love with Ichigo, then when her brother attacks her, she shows some more of her personality, she shows a more serious and responsible attitude, even in this point, she still looks like a second character with major role here and there, specially with her changing personalities, sometimes she is really eccentric, sometimes she is a clueless weirdo, and sometimes she is like the most intelligent person, then she develop her powers, and that's where you realize that she is more than just a bimbo, she is a great character, she is a main character after all, from here, you just have to watch her evolution, slow, sure, but she is really trying to improve.

Then, and thanks to her new powers she cannot avoid to feel weak in comparison to the other members of her team, and even when she tries and tries, she is not as strong as she would love to be, and because of that, Ichigo needs to save her sometimes, and this make her special too, because she is like a modern lady in distress, i mean, today we have characters like Maka or Lucy, so strong and independents, but Orihime sometimes is a girl who needs to be save and i dont know why, but i like that, so, because of her clever design, her good seiyu, and her evolution and her multiple personalities it's why i like Orihime so much.

OrihimeInoue

I love how she goes from serious to funny to almost anything.

2.- Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion

The most complex character in my list without a doubt, first, this Anime show me, no, let's say that proves me that Anime is not only for children, in the 90's there were so few Animes here in Mexico, like Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Mazinger, Escaflowne, etc, and there were good, really good, but it seems that all the Anime was like that, later, in a manga convention i found this series, Evangelion, and wow, here is when i realized that Anime can be a way to show and transmit emotions, deep emotions, and with it's characters you have 3 different complex persons, and my favorite one was Asuka.

If you are a fan of Anime in general, is almost sure that you know who Asuka is, and what she represents as one of the most tragic characters ever, so i'm just gonna give a quick description and of course, why i like her.

Asuka is the pilot of the Evangelion Unit-02, she has a difficult temper, she is a proud girl, very proud, she feels superior and had a bad temper, she can make you feel scum, yet, you have to admire her because she seems a very confident person, but what a shock, this brutal personality is just a wall to hide her true personality she is just an insecure and vulnerable girl, thanks to a heavy trauma when she was a little girl, what happened? well, her mother went crazy thanks to an experiment and later she kill herself and Asuka was the one who found her, pretty heavy right.

Through the series her relationships with all the characters are really complicated, specially with Shinji, they have a Love - Hate relationship, in reality, deep inside she loves him, but thanks to all her traumas and superior complex Asuka is unable to open herself, she is just like a wall, she can't be in touch with her feelings and that's just sad, a proud girl who inside is just a little girl that want's love, but is unable to accept it or search it. Thankfully, she seems to have a happy ending...well, kind of, at least is better than others and i love how in the movie she regains all her confidence, and even by the very first time she seems truly happy, at least for a brief moment.

Both her design and seiyu are really good, she is a redhead girl with a cute face, and her voice represents it very well, also, i love how her seiyu speaks German very fluid.

Asuka is definitely one of my most memorable fictional characters ever, not only in Anime but in fiction too, and she was my number 1 girl until recently, too bad she is number 2 now.

asukaasuka1

She is disturb, really disturb in such a sad way that you can't stop feeling sorry for her and yet, you have to admire her courage and determination to prove the world she is just superior to anyone else.

1.- Suzumiya Haruhi from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi

Finally, my number 1 character, my favorite Anime girl ever, Haruhi, yep, predictable? maybe, but she has merits, she is the most original character i have seen in a while, she looks like an ordinary girl, but she is really complex and eccentric and at the same time, she just looks like a spoiled girl, but besides that, she is also a God...? if you haven't watch the series, you should.

Anyway, just like Asuka, Konata and maybe Orihime, if you are an Anime fan, chances are that you know this character very well, anyway, i'm going to describe her.

Haruhi has the power to destroy, create or manipulate the world according to her emotions...wait what? yep, she is not an ordinary girl, nevertheless, she doesn't know about her powers. so the members of her club, The Brigade SOS, need to maintain Haruhi happy and entertained so she dont destroy the world, bizarre isn't?, i mean, the whole idea that a teenager girl full of volatile emotions can destroy the world just because she is sad is frightening and fun of course.

Like all the characters in my list, Haruhi has a deep story, she was a little girl proud of her own existence, until, in a Baseball game she realized that she was so insignificant to the world that she though, what's the meaning of my existance if no one ever notice me, from there she start to search something more in the world, Aliens, Time Travelers, etc, anything to help her discover that life is not meaningless, oddly enough, when she reaches the institute her God like powers awake, maybe because she finally find someone who might think just like her.

Like i already said, her powers react to her own feelings, and that's a huge problem because her personality is so strange, she can be nice and all, or a really mean girl, even worst, she may be in loved with Kyon and he has a strong, to strong maybe, friendship with Mikuru, so Haruhi get's really jealous in this situations putting the world in danger if Haruhi doesn't get happy soon, and this creates some interesting moments.

Also she shows an evolution, while at first she may be antisocial as she come in contact with Kyon, she is more open to her true feelings, she is competitive and eccentric, hyperactive and full of energy, yet, really antisocial but more and more often she comes to realize that whenever she does something right, people thank her and appreciate her, making notorious changes in her, she is also really funny and persevering, she won't stop until she get's what she wants.

I almost forget, her design and Seiyu, well, she is a gorgeous character, nice face, nice expressions, nice humor and of course a sexy image, and let's not forget who her Seiyu is, Aya Hirano, yep, the third character in my list voiced by her, and like always, she does and incredible job as Haruhi, you almost can feel the energy in her lines, anyway, Haruhi is just the full packet, she has a nice design, she is powerful, really powerful, she is funny, eccentric, i mean, she has a lot of personalities, and yet, she can be such a nice and tender girl, never forgetting that she is in the end, a schoolgirl who wants to find her way in the world but, when she is upset, she can turn the hole world into ashes, and i love that, just like i love the Anime, and for all this reasons, Suzumiya Haruhi is my favorite Anime girl ever.

Haruhiharuhi1

She is just so over the top in everything, and yet, so likable, that it has to be my number 1.

So there you go my list, hope you enjoy this and i hope you share a comment too.

My Top 10, all time favorite Anime/Manga girls. (Part 1)

So, finally i'm starting my Blog, hope you guys enjoy it, anyway, i choose this theme because i like Anime and Manga, i'm not an Otaku but i enjoy a story once in a while, so i decided to do this list.

Now, remember, this is only my opinion, so your list would be probably be different, and its only one character per franchise, so this is screwatt...oh wait, sorry, got a little carried away anyway, lets start.

10.- Reika from Gantz

This is probably the sexiest character i ever seen, i mean, she is beautiful and sexy (for a manga character of course), the author Hiroya Oku really know what he was doing, first he taunt us with others sexy main female characters, suddenly, bum, dead, and then, he give us Reika, a gorgeous Japanese idol, very attractive, very sexy, etc, and above all, she wears a suit that leaves little to the imagination, of course, everything in Gantz leaves little to the imagination, but still, her design is perfect, its like every man dream comes true; sexy celebrity wearing a tight suit. Sadly, her design is the only good stuff on her, thats why she is number 10, her personality is not as great as others Gantz characters, she is in love with the main character, and as always, he doesnt correspond her, and because of that, she is always crying or worried for him to much, then again, she is not useless at all, she has managed to gain 100 points twice, and this last time, it seems that she will be doing some interesting things, i just hope that this bring something else to her, like some major role in future plots, sadly and like Gantz usually do, this could also mean her death is near, personally, i would love to see Reika until the end of Gantz, and have a happy ending.

reika

Damn, this is sexy, and this is an official art, i mean, it was colored by fans, but is still and official image.

9.- Sasha from Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas

Saint Seiya or Knights of the Zodiac, is one of my all time favorite show, i watched it when i was kid every Saturday, and i just love it, it was the coolest show ever, great fights, great characters, great lines, i remember also that the first chapters were kind of bad or not as great as the rest, but when Athena show up the show really start to kick ass, the plot? well, Athena and her warriors have to stop the bad guys, only problem, Athena was USELESS, she does nothing other than been a trouble for the Saints, they always have to rescue her, and it was a good setting for the fights, but c'mon, you should expect that a Goddess liker her would do something else than praying, she only start to figure it out until the end of the series, oh well, nice doing, you finally got your armor, but the show is over.

So why then i choose Sasha? first of all, who is Sasha? well, she is the incarnation of Athena in the time that Lost Canvas is placed, that's mean, like 240 years before the Saint Seiya we all know, and unlike her present time counterpart, Saori, she is not that useless, i mean, she has a major role here, sure, the Sainst still have to protect her, but at least this time, she is not only praying for the sake of the world, also, i feel her more human, even though she suppose to be a Goddes, why? well, she cries over her soldiers deaths (Saori only cried when Seiya was hurt, like he was the only one fighting), she has some selfish goals (sort of speaking), overall, she is way more active. I haven't read a lot Lost Canvas, but what i've been reading its pretty good, and i'm really excited about the new Anime, Sasha will be voiced by Aya Hirano, in my opinion, the best Seiyu in Japan, so another reason why i like this character, then again, she is only number 9 because she is not as memorable IMO like my other choices.

Sasha.

I'm not sure if it is Sasha or Saori, but the pic is good, lets say is Sasha.

8.- Seras Victoria from Hellsing (Manga)

This is a character i really like, but make no mistake, i dont like much the one in the Gonzo Anime, instead, i prefer the original and more sadistic Victoria from the manga, for me, the one in the Gonzo anime was way to boring.

From one of my favorite mangas, Hellsing, Seras Victoria is at first a minor character, is more like the comedian relief, she has not much action at first, she is weak and like i said, her only purpose was to make jokes, her design is good, is your typical sexy anime character, but i like the contrast between her and Integra, a much more serious character. Victoria shows some interesting fights, but nothing really spectacular, so she has a really weak start, still, with all this "flaws" she was a very likeable character. Then something happen, the final saga begins, around Volumen 6 (i guess), and after some events, Seras became a true vampire (she was not complete, because she haven't drinked human blood), then, what happend? easy, she kick ass, she became powerful, not only powerful, very, very powerful, her personality changes completely, from an insecure girl, to a confident one, to a level to even defy priest Alexander Anderson (one of the most powerful characters in the manga), she is not more a secondary character, well, she may still be, but she now has a major role, she is a fighter now, a force to be reckoned.

In my opinion, she is the third most powerful character in the Manga, and has some of the most spectacular fights too, specially the last one, overall, i like her change a lot, from a comical character, to a serious one, that's why i like her so much, besides her power looks cool, and i like her ending too, predictable, but good, overall, a great character and my number 8 choice.

Seras

C'mon, this looks cool, doesn't matter if you are a fan or not.

7.- Lucy/Nyu from Elfen Lied (Anime)

I know that there is also a Manga version, but i haven't had the chance to read it, anyway, i remember when i friend told me about this Anime, some years ago (3 or 4years perhaps), i wasn't an Anime/Manga fan like today then, anyway, he told me that it was excellent, so bloody, with a lot of drama, etc, i was like, ok, i'll watch it, it was Saturday, i put it to see the first 2 chapters, well, it was so great, that i actually watch the 13 episodes that night, wow, what an Anime, but, mainly, what a great main character, Lucy/Nyu.

Why i like her? well, she has split personality, both are great, Nyu is so cute and funny, so innocent, so sweet and so different from Lucy, because, Lucy is a cold ruthless killer. In the beginning of the Anime, in one of the most violent intros i ever watch, she escape from a lab, and then, thanks to a hit in her head, Lucy develops Nyu, then both personalities appear according to the situation, when Nyu is in great danger, Lucy appears, and when Lucy is treated with kind or love, Nyu appears, and that's how it works.

Despite her situation, there are other things that i like about her, for example, her design, she is a redhead young girl, but she is not your voluptuous anime girl, she has a more "realistic" body, sort of speaking, besides, her Seiyu does a great job, but the greatest thing about this character is her evolution trough the series, like a said before, Lucy is a cold killer, but soon, you discover that first, she was an innocent girl who was badly treated as a child, later, she falls in love and she starts to change, and exactly that's why a like her, because she proves us that love can do anything, love is peace, love is forgivable, love can change even the most evil person, even to this day, Elfen Lied chapter 13 "No return" is still one of my favorite Anime chapters of all time.

lucy/nyu

There are better images from Lucy and Nyu, but i couldn't find another one with the two of them in the same image.

6.- Konata Izumi from Lucky Star

If i had done this list 6 months ago, she would have been in number 4 perhaps, now she is number 6, but still she is one of my favorites, she is from a four panel manga, weird, i know, and more weird, how can a four panel manga, became in a full Anime series? i mean, you can barely told a story or develop a character in this kind of mangas, so how can you told a story, anyway, i recommend this Anime to anyone who wants a different type of Anime.

The main character of Lucky Star is Konata or Kona-chan, she is a high school girl, but she is also the very representation of an otaku, you know, she loves Anime and Manga, besides she is a Gamer, so, what else she does? well, just that, yep, is just that, boring? not at all, specially when she is so funny, i mean, is not like her jokes make you laugh, its more like her jokes put a smile on your face, she makes reference to Anime and Manga to her daily life, basically that's her charm, make no mistake, she is a very likeable character, i dont know why, but as long as the Anime goes on, you became attached to her, from her usual jokes, to compare her friends to certain Anime characters, to her job in the cosplay cafe, etc, she is so easy going, and she has those little details (like her dislike for baseball because the TV dont pass Anime when baseball takes too long to finish) that only make her memorable, the Anime has only around 23 chapters, and still she has a big fan base, really big fan base.

Her designs is excellent, first of all, she is cute, but cute in a weird way, she may not look pretty or real or anything, but still she looks cute, her face, her hair, her costumes, she has an awesome design, and most important, and i think this is very important, her Seiyu is Aya Hirano, and she does a hell of a job, because her Konata voice is so distinctive, you have to listen it to appreciate it, overall, i really like Konata because her design, voice and personality, is the full packet, then again, as much as i like her, she is not my favorite one, she is only in the six position.

kona-chan

You know that she is funny when you look this picture.

Well, that's all from part 1, i'll be posting part 2 later today, hope anyone who read this enjoy it and post comments, not only to share your opinions, but to help me with my writing, i'm not a natural English speaker, so wrote all this was a great way to practice, so if you found anything wrong, please tell me about it.
