chii Finally Made One!

Posted by chii on January 16, 2011 · 14 Comments

Favourites are a great thing. What makes these shows mine is that I think about them very often when I'm thinking about anime and wish to watch them more than once. Some of them I've already watched 5+ times. To be a favourite they also must be entertaining as a whole series. So if they have season 2's or more, I should have loved them just as much as their season one. Everything on the list below applies! I've been meaning to make this kind of list for many years now and I've finally sat down and mulled through all my anime titles and picked these 100 to be my absolute favourites.

Like digitalboy I'll be updating this list regularly from now on but not once a month. I will only update when I feel an anime has stood up to my standards to break into this 100 anime list. I will keep a list at the bottom of this page which of which anime has moved in and which it has kicked out. I doubt that it'll happen very often but time will tell. Check out my Does Not Want List for a taste of my dislikes.

365 Days of Anime Characters: Day 21/365 Fujiwara no Sai

Posted by chii on January 21, 2010 · 3 Comments

Day 21/365

Fujiwara no Sai

From the anime Hikaru no Go, Fujiwara no Sai is the mentor to Hikaru that teaches him how to play Go. The weird thing is that he's a spirit that possessed a Go board from the Heian era that Hikaru's grandfather had stored away in his attic. Sai once mentored the Emperor but because he was accused of cheating, so he killed himself before learning his ultimate goal, the divine move AKA the Hand of God.

Why I like him: He's one determined little ghost cookie. Over the years he had come into contact with many people that were willing to help him with his goal yet never reached it. His interactions with Hikaru were often very loving yet a little frustrated. He wanted Hikaru to become what he couldn't be in Go.

Why I hate him: Scroll over for ***SPOILER*** He just disappeared! Leaving Hikaru in a world of depression. He didn't even say good bye! >.<

Overall: Sai is a super interesting character. Most people would loose interest in such a simple goal after centuries of waiting. But I guess that's why he became a ghost as well. Sai while very loving and awesome has a hard dark side to him that seems pretty harsh at times. He just forgets that he can't be the one to achieve his goals alone anymore and thus steps over his bounds very often with cruel words towards Hikaru.
