Kawaii! Look at this sexy, adorable and athletic Kyou Fujimori figure that is out on pre-order! If you are a big a fan of Clannad and Clannad After Story this figure is a must! We all remember the cute yet embarrassing episode where Kyou and Tomoya were trapped in the Gym room closet as she falls and lies there seductively, yet helpless on the floor. She then asking him to please not to get any ideas. Kyou, was one of my favorite characters in the series, she was strong, athletic and can kick major butt! Poor Sunohara took all her beatings time and time again but hey there are some people into that sort of thing! You can find it for pre-order on Jbox.com, she is a 1/7 scale figure and will run you $85 beanies.

1. Chobits

Chobits revolves an alternate reality where robots and humans coexist, we are actually closer to this reality nowadays then we think! The robots in this series are called persacoms and they help humans in their day to day errands. Some happen to be maids, nurses, hand held devices as well as companions and lovers. There was a special persacom named (Chi) , that was thrown away onto the street. A poor college boy  from the country named (Hideki) finds her, makes her his own, boots her up in a peculiar way and takes care of her at his home. Chi you later find out is no ordinary persacom, she is one without a disk and is programmed to have human emotions , the main one being love. This anime is filled with laughter, drama, and  romance. Could a human really fall in love with a persacom? Why don’t you find out! This was one of the first animes that hooked  me in to the otaku world and still one of my favorites. That is why it is number 1!

2. Death Note

Death note could have easily been the first on my list, it was a very close call. The story revolves  around Light, a college student who finds a notebook lying on the ground coined “Death Note”. He “reluctantly” picks it up and that is when havoc ensues! Light can basically  write anyone’s name down in the book with his or her face in mind and kill him or her off with the jot of a pen. Later on it becomes a whole moral issue on who he kills, why and a very entertaining cat and mouse game between Light and a detective names L. Think of CSI and Law & Order multiplied by a thousand. It is one of the most exciting intellectual dramas I have encountered and extremely recommended!
