So Crazy Yet So Endearing
Among the slew of new villains introduced in the third season of My Hero Academia, none have managed to blur the line between intimidating and adorable quite like Himiko Toga. She’s the ultimate girly girl who just wants to make friends and talk about boys…while also draining the blood of her victims with needles. As such, she’s now officially joined the ranks of other anime girls who we can’t help but adore in spite of their psychotic tendencies. If she keeps at it, maybe she’ll one day top these five!
Fair warning, there are SPOILERS AHEAD!
#5:Â Haruko Haruhara
“FLCL” (2000-01)
She may be an intergalactic officer, but this lady not could not care less about regulations. Pretty much everything you need to know about Haruko and her endless quirkiness can be summed up in her debut scene. She speeds in on a moped, bashes in the face of our protagonist with her bass guitar, before kissing the living daylights out of him. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Just wait until you see what happens when she gets ticked off.
#4: Yuno Gasai
“Future Diary” (2011-12)
Quite possibly the most iconic yandere in modern anime, Yuno is well known for slaughtering anyone who would dare attempt to come between her and her beloved Yuki. While she does come across way too edgy at times, she’s certainly has no issue when it comes to ticking the boxes of a classic crazy person; especially if it involves kidnapping and torture. No matter your thoughts on the anime, it’s fair to say that Yuno’s meme face will live on in infamy for years to come.
#3: Yumeko Jabami
“Kakegurui” (2017)
For the thrill of a gamble, this girl will risk anything and everything, including bodily harm and social standing. While she’s a lovely girl deep down, Yumeko’s passion and addiction to gambling has spurned her to make some decisions that many would consider ill-advised. She’s nearly been expelled, got herself into severe debt and even engaged in a game of Russian roulette. Why? Because her love for her chosen vice is so intense that it’s practically orgasmic.
#2: Revy
“Black Lagoon” (2006)
Her island home may be filled to the brim with criminals and scumbags, but somehow Revy still finds a way to outdo them all thanks to her sailor mouth and itchy trigger finger. There’s nothing this member of Lagoon Company loves more than stealing from other hardened thugs and gunning them down with her signature pistols. It doesn’t matter if they’re assassins, Yakuza or Neo-Nazis, her violent tendencies and major anger issues will always pull her through.
#1: Anna Nishikinomiya
“Shimoneta” (2015)
And this is why disregarding and repressing natural urges never leads to anything good. In a world where smutty material, dirty jokes and sexual content is banned, this fair lady finds herself getting a rather rude awakening after her first kiss is stolen. Now obsessed with bumping hips with the hapless Tanukichi, Anna takes lewdness to dangerous levels, leading the way to aggravated assault, near-castration via scissors and even working her “love nectar” into cookies for Tanukichi to eat. When you see her eyes light up with hearts, start running!
