30 Day Manga/Anime Meme - Days 23 & 24 and a writing update.

[heavenly_pearl]

Chapter 19 of Melting Ice has been posted at the usual places. I've also begun posting Against The Rules over at AO3. For some reason, I completely forgot about it when I posted the rest of my stories there!

Another double dose of meme questions:

23. Best manga/anime villain

He may be the protagonist of his series, but I gotta say the best manga and anime villain in my opinion is Light Yagami from Death Note. He utterly fascinates me with his belief that he is on the side of justice, despite the fact that he becomes one of the most prolific serial killers in history. That dichotomy within him makes him an interesting character to observe and puts him a cut above most other villains, who tend to be evil just because. Plus, he's definitely smarter than the majority of anime/manga villains out there!

24. The best long manga/anime series

Manga - Easy, a tie between Fruits Basket and NANA. (Criteria: Over twenty volumes.)

Anime - Kaleido Star, of course! Honorable mentions go to Super GALS, Card Captor Sakura, Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor Moon, Fullmetal Alchemist (both series), and Code Geass. (Criteria: Over fifty episodes.)

One cannot help but be fascinated by Light. Half the fun of that series is seeing whether or not he can pull off his latest stunt and get away with it.
