Background and Characteristics

The beautiful Lust is a fictional character that made her debut in the hit series, Fullmetal Alchemist. Voiced by Muriel Hofmann and Laura Bailey, Lust is portrayed in the series as a homunculus created by Father, and serves as a major antagonist throughout the series (alongside Gluttony). Sometimes referred to as the “Ultimate Spear,” Lust is characterized as a mildly flirtatious being that is obsessed with becoming a human.

Although she is often described as highly-intelligent, powerful, and self-serving, Lust’s wide-ranging abilities and skills prove to be futile in latter segments of the series, as she is eventually defeated by Roy Mustang during a lengthy engagement (becoming the first homunculus to perish at the hand of a human).

Physical Appearance

Regarding her overall appearance, Lust is an incredibly beautiful homunculus renowned for her jet-black hair, light purple eyes, and stunning physique. Standing 5’7” in height, she is both tall and curvaceous in her overall build, with incredible body measurements of 37-23-35, respectively.

Among Lust’s most notable physical features are her G-cup bust, lovely hips, pronounced rear, and long legs. Highlighting each of these remarkable traits is Lust’s signature attire that consists of a form-fitting (and extremely snug) black dress that reveals each of her natural curves nicely.

When examined alongside her thin lips, long nails, and seductive charm, Lust is truly one of the hottest anime characters to have emerged in the entertainment industry; a feat that will likely continue for the foreseeable future.

Background and Characteristics

The beautiful Nami is a fictional anime character that made her television debut in the hit series, One Piece. Voiced by Akemi Okamura, Wakana Yamazaki, and Luci Christian, Nami is portrayed in the series as the adopted sister of Nojiko, as well as a navigator who works alongside the Straw Hat Pirates.

Characterized as a former member of the Arlong Pirates, Nami later joined the Straw Hats for the purpose of robbing them in order to buy back her village from the nefarious Arlong.

After witnessing the Straw Hats openly rebel against Arlong, however, Nami decided to legitimately join their group, pursuing her lifelong dreams in the process.

Physical Appearance

In regard to her physical attributes, Nami is an exceptionally hot and attractive character renowned for her reddish-orange hair, dark brown eyes, and incredible figure. Standing 5’7” tall and weighing 110 pounds, Nami is both tall and slender in her overall build, maintaining impressive body measurements of 38-22-34, respectively.

As a highly-sexualized character in the anime realm, some of Nami’s most notable physical traits include her large J-cup bust, slim waistline, pronounced butt, and wide hips that are mesmerizing to behold. Highlighting each of these physical traits is her regular donning of form-fitting attire that consists of various dresses, high heels, bikinis, and tight shirts that reveal ample amounts of skin and cleavage.

When examined alongside her unique tattoos, rounded face, and virtually flawless skin, it is easy to see why Nami is one of the sexiest anime characters to have appeared in recent memory.

Background and Characteristics

The beautiful Tier Harribel is a fictional anime character that made her first appearance in the hit series, Bleach. Voiced by Megumi Ogata and Laura Bailey, Harribel is portrayed in the series as a former 3rd Espada of Sosuke Aizen’s army of Arrancar, and serves a supporting antagonist in both manga and anime versions of Bleach.

Characterized as an extremely calm and reserved individual, Harribel possesses an incredible disdain for killing, but is one of the fiercest opponents in the series when challenged (or ordered) to fight. Through a combination of her spiritual powers, extensive knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship, Harribel is an incredibly powerful opponent capable of subduing nearly any opponent with ease.

For these reasons, she was able to quickly acquire the position of “Queen” over Hueco Mundo, as her extensive knowledge and alliances made her an ideal candidate for the throne.

Physical Appearance

In regard to her physical attributes, Tier Harribel is an exceptionally hot and attractive woman renowned for her golden blonde hair, aqua green eyes, and incredible body. Standing 5’9” tall and weighing approximately 135 pounds, Harribel is both tall and curvaceous in her overall build, maintaining impressive measurements of 37-22-34, respectively.

Among her most notable physical traits are H-cup breasts, extremely long (and toned) legs, a slim waistline, and wide-spaced hips that provide her with a sensual “hourglass” body. Augmenting each of these natural traits is Harribel’s regular donning of skimpy attire that consists of a cleavage-bearing Arrancar jacket, a Hollow mask, white boots, as well as a black and white skirt.

When examined alongside her long eyelashes, messy hair, and olive-colored skin, it is not difficult to see why Tier Harribel is regularly cited as one of the sexiest anime characters of all time.

The gorgeous Merlin is a fictional anime character that made her television debut in the hit series, The Seven Deadly Sins. Voiced by Maaya Sakamoto and Lauren Landa, Merlin is portrayed in the series as the “Boar’s Sin of Gluttony” amongst the Seven Deadly Sins, and is widely regarded as the greatest mage across Britannia.

Characterized as an extremely mysterious (yet cool and collective) member of the Deadly Sins, Merlin is believed to be over 3,000 years old, and was raised (and trained) by her father to utilize extremely powerful magic against opponents both big and small. She is also incredibly intelligent, possessing a vast and extensive knowledge that she puts to good use against would-be aggressors.

When combined with her magical items, techniques, and abilities, Merlin was well-equipped to deal with even the most powerful of demons.

Physical Appearance

Standing 5’10” tall and weighing approximately 126 pounds, Merlin is both tall and curvaceous in her overall build, maintaining impressive measurements of 32-22-32, respectively.

Among Merlin’s most notable physical traits is her C-cup bust, long legs, toned body, and wide hips that provide her with an elegant “hourglass” form. Highlighting each of these traits is Merlin’s signature attire that consists of a skimpy coat, purple shorts (that resemble panties), and thigh-high boots that reveal ample amounts of skin to audience members.

When viewed alongside her gorgeous eyes, pink lips, beauty marks, and tattoo, Merlin’s “number six” position on our current list is well-deserved, as she is truly one of the sexiest anime figures of all time.

The lovely Faye Valentine is a fictional character that made her anime debut in the hit series, Cowboy Bebop. Voiced by Megumi Hayashibara and Wendee Lee, Valentine is portrayed in the series as a bounty hunter serving aboard a ship known as the Bebop alongside crewmates Spike Spiegel and Jet Black.

Characterized as a 77-year-old woman with the appearance of a 23-year-old (due to a space shuttle accident that resulted in her being placed into a cryogenic freeze for nearly fifty-four years), Valentine was eventually revived (and cured), but was forced to run from authorities due to the extensive debt incurred during her long recovery.

As a result of this stressful situation, Valentine’s personality was dramatically altered in the months that followed, resulting in her inability to trust others, as well as her tendency to be extremely irresponsible, conniving, and dependent on alcoholic beverages.

Physical Appearance

Regarding her physical appearance and attributes, Faye Valentine is a remarkably attractive woman renowned for her violet-colored hair, emerald-green eyes, and slender frame. Standing 5’6” tall and weighing approximately 101 pounds, Valentine is both tall and curvy in her overall build, maintaining impressive measurements of 32-23-34, respectively.

When examined alongside her thin nose, gorgeous eyes, and sensuous personality, it is easy to see why Faye Valentine is regularly cited as one of the sexiest anime characters of all time.

First Appearance: Fairy Tail
Hair Color: Scarlet

The beautiful Erza Scarlet is a fictional anime character that made her debut in the hit series, Fairy Tail. Voiced by Sayaka Ohara and Colleen Clinkenbeard, Scarlet is portrayed in the series as an S-Class Mage within the Fairy Tail Guild, as well as a key member of Team Natsu where she once served as the 7th Guild Master during the absence of Makarov (fairytail.fandom.com).

Characterized as an extremely strict and critical individual, Scarlet accepts nothing but “perfection” from others, and maintains a tremendous sense of pride and justice throughout the Fairy Tail series.

She is also incredibly powerful, and possesses a number of magical abilities (and enchantments), as well as a mastery of swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat that she utilizes with great efficiency during battles. Taken together, she is a formidable opponent to even the most gifted opponents.

Standing 5’9” tall and weighing approximately 132 pounds, Scarlet is both tall and curvaceous in her overall build, maintaining impressive measurements of 42-27-46, respectively.

Some of Scarlet’s most notable physical traits include her O-cup bust, wide-spaced hips, and long legs that are mesmerizing to behold in the series. Highlighting each of these traits is Scarlet’s signature attire that consists of custom-made armor, a blue skirt, black boots, and various cleavage-bearing tops that leave nothing to the imagination of casual viewers.

When examined alongside her penetrating gaze, tight stomach, beautiful hair, and well-toned body, Erza Scarlet’s “number nine” spot on our current list is well-deserved.

First Appearance: Witchblade
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Light Brown

Background and Characteristics

The beautiful Masane Amaha is an anime character that made her first appearance in the hit series, Witchblade. Voiced by Mamiko Noto and Jamie Marchi, Amaha is portrayed in the series as an individual who was chosen by the Witchblade during the “Great Quake” (which destroyed a large portion of Tokyo).

Completely unaware of what has transpired (due to severe amnesia), Amaha begins a perilous quest to evade the NSWF’s Child Welfare Division alongside her adopted daughter, Rihoko, before eventually being conscripted into service for the Doji Group in order to destroy X-Cons.

Supplied with immense strength and fighting capabilities (due to the power of the Witchblade that resides in her), Amaha becomes the ultimate killing machine, fighting for a life of peace and serenity for her daughter.

Physical Appearance

Regarding her physical appearance and attributes, Masane Amaha is an incredibly sexy woman renowned for her short stature, messy brown hair, and hazel-brown eyes. At 5’5” tall, Amaha is exceptionally curvy for her build, with impressive measurements of 38-23-35, respectively.

Among her most notable physical features are K-cup breasts, an extremely slim waistline, large butt, long neck, and oval-shaped face. Highlighting each of these traits is Amaha’s signature attire that consists of a tight yellow top, black sports bra, tight blue jeans, and various bikinis that leave little to the viewer’s imagination (due to their form-fitting and snug fit).

When examined alongside her almond-shaped eyes, thin nose, and laid-back personality, it is easy to see why Masane Amaha is regularly cited as one of the sexiest anime characters of all time.

At the time of writing this, it's been nearly three months since this show was released but yet only a little more than a hundred participants have rated this show. 7/10 is totally undeserving for this great work of art. Edens Zero is fast paced with no fillers and has a good storyline. The adventures are awesome and you do not need to be a space lover to enjoy the anime. At first, it may look like the old "power of friendship" but it gets serious right from episode 2. After the episode where the villain turned the poor ladies into furniture art, I saw that this show meant business. Hopefully it gets better and better.

This review is not a review about the film ( which I personally loved) there are plenty of reviews out there for that. What this review concerns itself with is the blu ray and what we get for our money

What we do get is the following.

We do have a UV copy with the blu ray, always good to have.

There are six featurettes on the disc as follows.

Maximum Fury- Filming Fury Road (28 mins). An excellent look at the film, the thought processes behind it and how it was shot. This gave great insight into how it came together visually.
Mad Max- Fury on Four Wheels (22 mins). A look at all the vehicles of the film abdhow the designs of them came about. As they are so important to the film, this was great to learn more about.
The Road Warriors: Max & Furiosa (11 mins). Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron talk about there characters and experiences as does the director George Miller .Insightful
The tools of the Wasteland (14 mins) .Seeing some of the props. Good to see but limited as outside the vehicles, there were not that many.
The Five Wives- So shiny, So Chrome (8 mins). A look at the supporting characters of the film.
Fury Road- Crash & Smash (4 mins) A look at an action sequence as it was being filmed. Nice to have but not necessary

There are three deleted scenes. None of them go very long and none added anything to the story. I can see why they were cut

What the disc does not contain

There is no directors commentary .This I must admit is a tad disappointing .The featurettes do make up for this somewhat, but still would have been good to have.

All in all an incredible blu ray release

Warning: Spoilers
While at first sight this series seem to be a sweet comedy, the more I watch it, the more I realize the theme of endurance and sorrow is also buried in the depths of this series, in the most cheerful character Takagi-san.

Let us try reviewing this series from takagi's point of view. Through a few times of teasing, takagi san in fact realizes that she likes nishikata, which she knew she couldn't abruptly propose to him, nor waiting for a guy as shy as nishikata to actively approach her. Therefore, she planned a series of events and action in order to have more time spent with nishikata. Helping him with his day duties, walking home with him despite of having a bike, buying him a drink when he is broke, helping him with mathematics, spending summer vacation together everyday for bicycle-riding ... not to forget sacrificing part of her swimming lesson to accompany him. Takagi actually has done a lot to increase her time spent with nishikata, and these are not the usual stunts that a girl should pull. She knew her actions would raise a lot of eyebrows from her friends, but she was aware that this is the price she must pay in order to get better terms with nishikata. Takagi's time spent with nishikata brings her happiness, which makes her put her reputation aside (Takagi once told nishikata the classmates think it was takagi who likes nishikata because it is always her asking him out) and play the active role in a relationship. (The time when she purposely lost to nishikata in rock-scissors-paper to help him clean the classrom)

Takagi deep down is very sensitive like other girls. But in order to approach nishikata she put away her ego, suppressed her negative emotions and always wear a smile on her face like she couldn't care less. For instance, the calligraphy arc. She knew that at second try nishikata would write something mean to insult her, therefore she pulled a trick beforehand to tease him and leave his insult ineffective. To us readers this is just another win for takagi, but for her, she might just want to escape from nishikata's criticism on her. Takagi is just a normal girl that could break down on a reject from her crush, hence her stunts to make nishikata embarrassed by saying awkward things (this is also portrayed at the two-choice-question arc). Another example of takagi san turning the tables on nishikata expressing his dislike on her is the sketching arc. When takagi saw nishikata's witch-like drawing of her, we can tell how hurt she was and she even took a moment to suppress her feelings. But shortly after, she pulled a funny face on nishikata, pointing out that he could make it worse, and acted like she couldn't care less. Later in the episode, nishikata slipped his mouth and said that he rejected his friends invitation to play Fierce-Soccer because he wanted to walk home with takagi. At that instant, we all could tell how touched takagi was from her stunned expression. However, the warm feeling was let down by nishikata, saying that he just want to land his "critical strike" on teasing her. Takagi smiled at it, teasing him to say it again for her to forget, but nishikata just embarrassingly ran way. The last scene was caught on Takagi's expression, on how she tried so hard holding back her tears.

Takagi spent so much effort to get along with nishikata, and she just wanted him to appreciate her a little, or show a little concern or affection. Sadly for her, at the point, she got no response from him. That is why she almost broke down at the end of episode 11. However at the last episode, takagi finally got back her confidence and happiness when she saw nishikata attempting to sit beside her. To her, that might be the second best gift. Then what's the best gift? You may ask. Undoubtedly, the best gift is the thank-you-note wrapped in the handkerchief! The reason this simple word could bring her so much joy is that this note expresses nishikata's appreciation and affection to her, meaning that nishikata feels lucky to have her as his friend. She squeals into her pillow out of excitement as she knows all her effort and commitment has paid off. And that is all she wanted from him :)

This show ain't no ordinary romance anime about how a boy and a girl's fate converge and fall for each other and live happily ever after. Rather, this show effectively portrays the mind of a teenage girl, trying desperately to bring her and her crush's fate together, at all cost. This element makes this show realistic, empathizing, and beautifully bittersweet. People watch this series while focusing on how nishikata likes takagi but is not aware. But for me I think the character who deserves more attention is Takagi. I personally have so many feels watching this series as my emotions go up and down with Takagi's. I felt at ease with nishikata beside her and felt so bitter when takagi manages to pull out a smile when nishikata expresses his dislike towards her. Takagi is a sensitive and courageous girl I admire so much, and this series subtly but perfectly portrayed her state of mind. By the way I think this show already had a perfect ending and as much as I would like to see more of Nishikata and Takagi together, I think a season 2 is unnecessary and would spoil the feelings I have for it.
