Happy for the rest of my life: Belldandy (Aa! Megamisama!) Tsunami/Sasami ([del]This side up[/del] Tenchi Muyo!) Happy for the rest of my life, for different reasons: Peorth (Aa! Megamisama!) Happy for the very brief time I’d survive: Ryoko or Aeka (Tenchi Muyo!) Urd (Aa! Megamisama!) Hild (Urd’s mother) Miriya Parino Sterling (Macross) Either she’d be the death of me, or Max would hunt me down… Wouldn’t object: Riku (FFX) – cute, bubbly, and likes working with machinery Kei Nagase (Ace Combat 5) ---

[Kronk](http://www.crowblanket.com/tilldeath/kronk.jpg). What’s not to love? He’s capable, sweet tempered, muscular, helpful, speaks Squirrel, can cook, and he even comes with his own theme music. Who cares if he has weak ankles. ---

I think two or three of the iron-clad Laws of Anime is that “Minmei is a Bimbo”, IIRC 😃 ---

Those others you mention, are cool. Let’s not forget Sammi, Vanessa and Emi. But Minmei? I used to have a .sig file, “Slap her again!” **RobuSensei** , there’s a reason I didn’t mention crushing on Miriya. Between her and Max, it would have been bad for me. ---

I’m here late because I’m somewhat embarrassed to be posting this… As a child, I was very fond of Egon from the Ghostbusters cartoons. As I got more into video games, I became rather attached to Luigi and Link (the latter especially after seeing the manga _Nintendo Power_ carried right around the time A Link to the Past was released). My current favorite is [Charles Foster Ofdensen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofdensen#Charles_Foster_Ofdensen). (☹ in light of the season finale.) ---

See now, I got the impression that in the original Japanese, Minmay wasn’t nearly as ditzy/bimboish, enough so that there was some disagreement as to whether Hikaru should’ve gotten together with her rather than staying with Misa. But then, I don’t really speak Japanese all that well. And the clips I’ve seen of the ADV dub of Macross have made me reconsider. ---

But then, I don’t really speak Japanese all that well. And the clips I’ve seen of the ADV dub of Macross have made me reconsider. I haven’t seen Robotech, but from watching Macross, I remember being intensely irritated at how easily Minmei went along with whatever crazy retardedness her cousin came up with. Misa was just a better choice. ---

I wouldn’t kick [Betty Boop](http://www.softpicks.net/screenshots/Free-Betty-Boop-Screensaver.jpg)\* out of bed for eating crackers, either. Jeepers, last call at the juice joint, brain embalmed from the hooch, I’d even lay down a few simoleans to take [Olive Oyl](http://home.netcom.com/~speaker8/jimsplayground/images/Olive3.gif)\* out to my struggle buggy for a little whoopee—that tomato’s tight chassis sitting on top of those hotsy totsy gams gives me the heebie jeebies! - Very provocative photos.

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > Honey, don’t be ashamed. Every kid in America of a certain age wanted to either be Cheetara or do Cheetara. Can’t it be both? Seriously though, in chronological order… Scarlett Cheetara Gadget Hackwrench Babs Bunny, whose character was older than me at the time, which makes it not weird. 🙂 It wasn’t until I was much older that I came to appreciate the Baroness. ---

IIRC, she does make a “eat the red carpet!” command of Peter that causes Quagmire (walking past the house and overhearing her yelling) to pass out, but she really was talking about actual carpet in this case. ---

My friend said I should check out the show “Drawn Together”. I’ve actually seen it once, but stopped watching it immediately after hearing Carlos Mensia’s voice. I can see where he’s coming from, though. ---
