Wait…it’s March already?
I swear it was February just yesterday! I guess it doesn’t help that February is only 28 days long. Welp…it is indeed the month of March my pandas. Man! Now I feel bad considering I didn’t write that much content last month. I guess my personal life is starting to creep into my blogging life. As I stated in a few of my previous blogs I am cutting back on pushing out content. I have a full time job, I’m working on finishing my Bachelor’s degree, and also trying to balance my personal life all at once. It gets pretty hectic sometimes! I’m sure all of you guys can relate in some form or another. But I am here! I’m mainly over on Twitter these days, chatting it up with you all, and trying to come up with new ideas to jot down and present to you guys (when I get around to it XD).
If you didn’t know March is Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. It is celebrated during March in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia corresponding with International Women’s Day on March 8. In the United States, Women’s History Month traces its beginnings back to the first International Women’s Day in 1911. (You guys can thank Wikipedia for the brief history lesson) 😛
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday will pay homage to strong, kick ass women in anime. We gotta show some love and celebrate all the killer female leads that have graced our presence over the last decade or so…because anime wouldn’t be the same without them. Buckle up kiddos! It’s about to be a bumpy ride.
1. Mauve from ACCA
^Beauty, brains, and a master manipulator. Mauve is one lady who doesn’t mess around.
2. Koko from Jormungand
^Koko might act like a goofball a lot of the time but we all know deep down she’ll kill you without hesitation.
3. Irisdina from Schwarzesmarken
^We love an exemplary leader willing to lay her life on the line for her team.
4. Rory from GATE
^I mean…Rory is literally the Goddess of darkness, war, violence and death.
5. Ozen from Made in Abyss
^Ozen is the definition of sheer power and terror.
6. Altair from Re:Creators
^Just a girl simply seeking revenge for her creator.
7. Crusch from Re:Zero
^A lady destined to stand above all others.
8. Eto from Tokyo Ghoul
^My Queen of Queens.
9. Mumei from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
^You mess with the Mumei you get the horns.
10. Saya from Blood C
^Saya kills her own kind…if that doesn’t sound like a crazy badass then I don’t know what is.
Who are some of your favorite tough/strong-willed ladies? Did any of them make my list today? I wanted to feature some women you don’t see in the spotlight too often. It’s nice to have a mix of characters when I write these list. I also hate seeing the same characters talked about over and over again. I try to shake things up when I can! Thank you guys for joining me this Tuesday! Your continued patronage means the world to me ❤ I will catch you all in my next post. Until then have a good morning, day, or evening wherever you are! 😀

Re:Creators is honestly one of the most underrated anime ever. Respectable list!

This was a great list with a really great variety of tough female characters. So many on here I really like and it was great to see Koko on a list. I don’t see her come up as often as she should given what an interesting character she is.

Saya is definitely a good choice. Some other butt-kicking ladies in anime would be Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, Angela from Kurogane Communication, Priscilla from Bubblegum Crisis, Yoshi from Giant Robo, Shinesman Salmon Pink from Shinesman, Mirielle and Kirika from Noir, and Tiara from Shamanic Princess to name a few.
