@Taylor: At least “popular=good” can still be argued for the most part in regards to Akihabara’s sub-culture. Do you think the same can ever be said about American pop culture any more?

  I enjoyed AnoHana, but I will say this: any time I hear “noitaminA”, I think “pretentious, overhyped bullshit”. AnoHana was an exception (at least IMO), but nonetheless, it sickens me how people go on about these shows being the most intellectual of intellectual anime just because of what fucking block they aired on.

  yeah, it’s especially easy to see why people would assume that after seeing her fight with Elsa Maria. Though, I think the true yandere in MadoMagi is Mami: portrayed as a sweet and gentle senpai for most of the series (albeit post-humously a lot of the time). Sees for herself that they could become witches, and her solution is to just kill everyone. I’d say that fits.

  so, is nobody gonna comment on the usage of a picture of Riko from Hidan no Aria? I mean, she’s not on the list anyway, but seeing as how a lot of you wanna complain about characters who aren’t actually yandere, she seems like a prime example. To be fair, she does have a bit of a psychotic streak underneath a cute, playful exterior… but then again, who wouldn’t wanna brandish a pistol or two when you’re going against someone as insufferable as Aria? Though, I must say that’s a pretty nice …

  I’m wondering where the hell Himeji Mizuki is. Seriously, does nobody see her eyes whenever she suspects Akihisa of seeing another girl (besides the Shimada sisters, apparently)? Especially in the episode where his sister first came home, her face turns creepy as fuck for one scene… and I love it. XD Definite yandere material right there.

  yeah, but I don’t think a lesbian rapist would be so easily forgotten…. though, going by that logic, shouldn’t Chikane (Kannazuki no Miko) be on here as well?
