I’ve made a lot of anime favorites lists over the years, but I was recently reminded that I have yet to make a list of favorite openings, a list that many bloggers have already done. Although there’s a reason for why I’ve been avoiding such a list, I finally managed to come up with a top 10…
How does one love an anime character?
We all have our reasons for why we love certain anime more than others. But what about that very important component that often determines whether we’ll even like an anime or not – the characters.

Dividing your favorite anime and characters into tiers

Favorite anime groups
I’m sure many of us have listed our favorite anime characters at some point. But what about favorite groups instead of individual characters?
