Angst-off!

I am sure a lot of you have seen this already, but rilina is holding nominations for the most emo anime or manga character ever. I am having tons of fun in the comments by reliving my very first anime ever, aka Gundam Wing.

Other favorites are: Kamui (X), Sasuke (Naruto), and Alex Rowe (Last Exile).

She has also started watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, my very second anime ever, and this has completely made my day(s). I suspect many EVA survivors are now gathered around her LJ, just waiting for her to hit key plot points. Please don't spoil her!

My first anime was Fushigi Yuugi -- viewed over a period of a few months with a group of 5-10 friends, in high school, which is totally the way to see it -- and I feel there should be somebody on the cast who could give the current suggestions a run for their money. But nobody's coming to mind.

(The only female character I can think of at all is Juri from SKU, but she's only got a mild case of brooding-emo, compared to the others.)

Also, hee. "EVA survivors."

Yui is pretty emo, poor girl. Miaka's seishi are mostly not emo, despite their many reasons to be, with the possible exception of Hotohori. On the other hand, there's the ghosts of the former seishi in the ice cave...

Aha! I wasn't sure whether or not to put bitterly attacking people in the same category as brooding and whining, which is why I wasn't sure about Yui and Nakago.

Nuriko, OTOH, is impressively non-emo for somebody who does the whole taking on the dead sibling's name and gender thing.

Aww, Juri! I loved her so much!

I alas haven't seen FY so I can't add anyone =(.

Me too. She and her hair are both awesome.

I haven't seen a lot of the anime listed in the nominations, but the explanations are incredibly fabulous anyway.
