Are we not counting Shakespeare characters for some reason?
That is correct. fuck shakespeare.
The TV show had been running for quite a few years when they released the 1980 movie tho.
Anyway, this is kinda pointless, I hope you watch the movie and enjoy it!
Let's play this whole conversation out like it usually goes.
"No, it was Lucy in Peanuts!"
"No, it was actually Eilzabeth from Pride and Prejudice!"
"No, it was actually [insert deity here]!"

It could be a lot of characters actually.
Helga is probably the first one that comes to most peoples minds as the stereotype as it is now known. she was blatantly tsundere.
Every day I curse the God of Mecha that
Euphemia died
It's all about Eve. She gave Adam the fruit and said, "Verily, it is not like I liketh you or anything, thou fool!"
Defs happened exactly that way.
Slayers Next 9
Speakin' of tsunderes, Lina gets a letter and Amelia assumes it must be a love letter. Gourry insists that's the one thing it could NEVER be and gets promptly socked in the gut. Anyway the gang are embroiled in some courtroom politics in Seyruun as someone tries to assassinate Phil. Last time it was his brother, Randy. This time it seems to be his brother Chris. All of these are grown men, but princes, which is odd, as for some reason no King of Seyruun is ever mentioned.
Oh and there are Monsters. Not monsters, but Monsters. This tends to mean the bad guy has some good connections.
Which horse did Nina even back? People made such a big tizzy about Suzaku bein' a traitor, but there went Nina, betraying Sneasel at the top of the hat to side with her worst enemy.
And if it's like ASoIaF, then Nina is at best Maester Qyburn.

This show just took a turn for the weird.
Well ok weirder.
Ok its fucking bizarre now.
But anyway, Tsukiko was adorable with her emotionless screaming and Emi is cute but kind of a brat with her imouto shit. King of Steel towards the end reacted in the most adorably violent way as she always does. This cast is so much fun!

Ladies and gentlemen, Haman Khan, with lipstick on. Now I have truly seen everything.
UH WHAT. IS JUDAU GOING SUPER SAIYAN?
WHY IS THERE A GIANT DEMON? WHY ARE THERE DEMONS IN GUNDAM? SINCE WHEN IS THAT A THING?
WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

Qyburn actually kinda works since they both make weapons of mass destruction.
Nina is such a minor character compared to Suzaku that directing your ire at her is misguided. The only thing she did that had an effect on the world was FLEIA and her switching sides was explained away by the guilt she felt.
I'm not saying she's a good character, I'm saying she's useless and immaterial to the grand scheme of things.

Although she, like Lloyd and Cecille, didn't technically switch sides. Schneizel's side was the rebellion in the end.

S'why I picked 'em. I know Nina is a relatively minor character, but she's also an incredibly irritating one.

If I'm reading that right, Yuyushiki bomba D:
Mann you know there were other reasons besides that. 'Member the novel? You 'member.
Your avatar doesn't work in this situation, Kirbyguy.

That's because I'm not happy about this!
Expected, but disappointing nonetheless.
Well I can't take your sadness seriously!

YES! FUCKING GOOD NEWS!
I legitimately don't remember the character of Andreia Cavalcanti from the novel at all. So basically his every action in this episode has been completely out of left field to me. I guess I know what book I'm restarting tomorrow.
The Count of Monte Cristo 19
Where to begin? Albert and Eugenie are not coping with
the death of Franz
Franz, who tells him he hates him and will forever.
Albert also has one hell of a good line in this episode: "Who the hell is Edmond Dantes? Why is
Franz dead
Meanwhile, Andreia Cavalcanti unmasks himself as the single most fucking terrifying character in the show. Oh, Fernand, Danglars, Villefort, and even the Count are scary, but Andreia
announces to his mother that he is her son, feels her up and has sex with her, then almost rapes his sister, to whom he is betrothed. And that almost rape is the most terrifying thing. He RIPS HER CLOTHES OFF after chasing her and knocking her to the ground, then slides his hands around her before gripping her and laughing his ass off.
Also, Heydee tries to stop The Count, and awaken the good in him, but its too late. He sets in motion the plan to bankrupt Danglars.
Does this qualify as an unexpected smash hit?
To give some context: Garupan vol5 is 18% up on vol4, which was the best seller to begin with. Sales are supposed to decrease over time.

The average sales of GuP should be higher than SAO now, so only Nisemonogatari and Fate/Zero were more succesful than GuP on 2012.
I don't think so. GuP's combined average is still around 35k right? SAO's combined average as of Vol7 is just above 36k.
cute and tanks > gary stu garbage
Pretty much, yeah.
