It’s that time of the year again! Exactly one year ago i posted My reverse Harem. It was quite popular so i felt like doing it again since it really does need to be updated.

My last Harem has at least one guy that needs to be removed. Sorry but Renji, you’re out. The suckyness of Bleach has ruined my love for you. Even though you were a big part of my harem last year my tastes have changed and my love for you has just kept dwindling. Also I’m removing Gene Starwind, not that i don’t’ like him anymore, but really, my Harem needs space for some new meat!

Now onwards to my list!

Sagara Sousuke
Anime: Full Metal Panic (2002)
Seiyuu: Seki Tomokazu

It’s hard for me to describe why i love Souske so much. I mentioned in my last harem post how i loved his quirkiness and that hasn’t changed. I think the biggest reason he’s still on the list is Full Metal Panic’s re-watchablity. If it were a series that i would watch once then forget he wouldn’t even be up for consideration. Plus I had just purchased the first two novels of FMP and my love for Souske and the FMP story was re-ignited in a big way. The novels are really amazing and if you haven’t picked them up i really suggest you do so.

Kamina
Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann (2007)
Seiyuu: Konishi Katsuyuki

I’ve Loved Kamina since i saw the first episode of Gurren Lagann last year. Kamina is a character that is hard to not like. While his life may have been ended short he was never forgotten within the Dai Gurren Dan. And he’ll never be forgotten for me. He’s a major part of Gurren Lagann’s story and honestly without him they wouldn’t have made it as far as they did. While Simon may have been the one with the power, without his Aniki there to back him up with a big grin he wouldn’t have been able to get as far as he did. Characters like Kamina are the reason i love anime so much. You don’t see characters or people like Kamina often and if you do they are deemed reckless idiots. But there was a method to Kamina’s madness (not that he was crazy.) Plus he’s so badass he gets a place on my car as well!

______________________________________________________________________________________

Lockon Stratos
Anime: Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (2007)
Seiyuu: Miki Shinichiro

Now normally i wait a few months before I add another person into my harem. I’ve got to make sure it’s love and not infatuation. But i have to make an exception for this guy. I’ve already professed my love once and here i am doing it again. Lockon Stratos, You are worthy of my Harem! I’m sooo eager for the next season of Gundam 00, I’m eager to see what they will do with Lockon’s character. I was reminded on how there was a scene in the first season where Lockon goes to leave flowers at his family’s grave, and there were already flowers and someone who looked EXACTLY like Lockon hiding in the shadows. I’m just worried that this new Lockon is going to be some evil jerk… So for now until we see how Lockon will be in the next season. I’m going to specify that the Lockon i <3 is Lockon Stratos of Season 1.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Nobuo “Nobu” Terashima
Anime: Nana (2006)
Seiyuu: Seki Tomokazu

The second time a Seki Tomokazu character makes my list. For nobu it’s quite simple as to why he’s on my list, It’s the Guitar. Nobu is a Hopeless romantic who just wants to write music and find his love. He’s had his heart broken by Hachi and while Nana and Hachi may be the main characters, Nobu is a main reason i keep reading. I’m still hoping that somewhere down the road Hachi returns to Nobu. But i have no idea what will happen since NO ONE IS RELEASING SCANS OF NANA!!!!!!!

______________________________________________________________________________________

Okazaki Tomoya
Anime: Clannad (2007)
Seiyuu: Nakamura Yuuichi

Want to know why Tomoya is in my list? Other than the fact that he looks hot shirtless? He’s the first guy in a Harem type anime (that i’ve seen) that has some backbone. Most Harem leads are spineless wimps who wouldn’t really amount to much. They are your typical losers, yet all the girls somehow fall for him. Tomoya is Sarcastic and a delinquent, yet he has had his share of problems in his life. It was so refreshing to see a male lead be so awesome in this type of show. For his sarcastic nature and still willing to help out the girls who do need help, Tomoya gets a spot in my Harem.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Li Syaoran
Anime: Card Captor Sakura (1998)
Seiyuu: Kumai Motoko

Well in most harems there is the typical “loli” character or Imouto. So why i can’t i have my Shota character?I’ve always liked Syaoran since i first saw CCS in Middle School. I wonder now why i didn’t add him to my original Harem, he’s always a character I’ve had a soft spot for.How he goes from Rival to Love Interest is just so awesome! Now don’t get this confused with Syaoran of Tsubasa Chronicles. Yes i could have used him instead and had someone who would have been closer to a much more legal age. But in all honesty i didn’t like Tsubasa Chronicles as much as i adored CCS.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Honorable Mention

There are some Men who would have had a prominent place in my harem but certain problems arose when i was going to choose them.

Saotomoe Alto
Anime: Macross Frontier (2008)
Seiyuu: Nakamura Yuuichi

Only reason Alto isn’t in my harem is that Macross Frontier is still too new. Alto so far, is pretty cool and badass in my book. Plus i adore his hair! But there is still so much more of Macross to come and Alto’s Character could either get much more awesome, or it go go south…I’d rather wait till next year to decide on whether or not he’s still worthy of my harem. But for now he’s just a runner up.

Harima Kenji
Anime: School Rumble (2004)
Seiyuu: Takahashi Hiroki

Harima sadly only has one thing that is a very large fault that isn’t even his fault. He looks too much like my ex bf. But Harima is much cuter and much more badass. His likeness to a real life person who i despise is the reason Harmia isn’t in my Harem. While his personality is nothing like my EX at all. His character design is all too similar. But since i still love harima for his personality he’s a runner up for my harem.

Simon
Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann (2007)
Seiyuu: Kakihara Tetsuya

I have only one real rule that i follow for my harem. No two characters of the same series. For that Simon gets the ax. Sorry Simon while the second Arc of Gurren Lagann shows how awesome Simon really is, in my mind he still never surpasses my love for Kamina. Plus without Kamina, Simon would never have been even remotely as awesome as he gets near the end!

Dr. Franken Stein
Anime: Soul Eater (2008)
Seiyuu: Uchida Yuya

Once again another left out of the harem since his character is still too new. Stein is still pretty badass and i really like his character but since the show is still far too new, i can’t put him in my harem since his character can go up or down really.

Kururugi Suzaku
Anime: Code Geass( 2006)
Seiyuu: Sakurai Takahiro

Why isn’t Suzaku in my harem? I did profess my love to him just the other day! Simple, Geass is almost done and we have no idea what Sunrise is going to pull on us now! They may find a way to make me not like Suzaku anymore. i want Geass to be complete before i honestly sit and decide if i have in my harem or not.

While Itasha doesn’t really mean Otaku car but Painful Car

The word Itasha (痛車(いたしゃ))describes a car that has been plastered with anime stickers and other form of decoration. Literally means “pain(痛い(itai)) car(車(sha))” and for some reason the kanji for “pain” was chosen as it sounds like the “ita” from イタ車(itasha)which means Italian Car.

Taken from DannyChoo.com
It’s always been a dream of mine to have my own Otaku car, one plastered with stickers and decals of my favorite Anime characters and finally i did it! My biggest reason for never doing this before were my parents objections. Technically it’s not my car, It’s the one i drive mainly and no one else drives it. Yet my parents pay for it and the insurance.
Well they finally gave me the clearance to plaster the car after i assured them that all the stickers are removable and that it won’t damage the paint whatsoever! I did these all myself with my own printer since each sticker was going to cost me an arm an a leg and this way it only cost me ink and paper costs… I’m very proud of how it came out!

SOME PICTURES WERE LOST AND THE ORIGINAL IMAGE HOST DELETED THEM! SORRY!

Since my parents claim it to be “my” car i have to also pay for any repairs of the car, which is understandable since they pay for it in the first place. I’m missing two parts on the front a metal plate that goes over the grill and small triangular piece the goes by the right headlight. But the metal plate costs $400 and the the triangular piece $40. So since they aren’t necessary i don’t bother fixing them.

SOME PICTURES WERE LOST AND THE ORIGINAL IMAGE HOST DELETED THEM! SORRY!

I’m very glad at how this came out, I wish it could have been bigger but this is the original resolution of this picture and any bigger would have been pixelated. The character is also Sakura from Card Captor Sakura my all time favorite anime!

The rest of the car i all Gurren Lagann. Since Yoko and Kamina are my favorite characters from GL it was hard to decide on which images to use for them.

I think bigger might have been better for them but then the size would have made it overlap the windows and i didn’t want that.

Love the detail of this image and i left the bullets on the car, i was going to cut them out but it thought it looked much cooler this way!

I was so tough finding a Kamina image that was gar yet had enough detail. All the images i found were of the back of him or far too small.

I was going to use a different image for the back window. One of Simon walking away, but i liked having the Gurren Dan logo instead!

My biggest worry with this sticker was being able to see outside from the inside of the car, luckily it doesn’t block much of my view while driving!

Passenger side with Simon and Nia. So many images of Simon to choose from but i really liked this image the best.
SOME PICTURES WERE LOST AND THE ORIGINAL IMAGE HOST DELETED THEM! SORRY!
I don’t know what it is about this image that i liked the most, but he looks so cool.
SOME PICTURES WERE LOST AND THE ORIGINAL IMAGE HOST DELETED THEM! SORRY!
Last but not least Nia. I loved this image of her, while it would have been awesome find a Anti Spiral Nia for this image i couldn’t find one that i liked that was big enough.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMKXC-6w8-c]
Pretty much a good song and I love the animation. Fate/Stay Night is one of those series that I loved even though it’s not the best series out there. I have more Figures from this series that any other series. I love the upbeat tempo of this song, Disillusion even though it was a beautiful song felt off, plus I preferred This Illusion over Disillusion.

14. “Dramatic” – Yuki
Honey and Clover

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBGg9yZKGxE]
This is one of the songs that the song itself isn’t all that great, but mixed in with the tone of the series and the animation of the foods it makes it amazing.

13. “Duvet” – Boa
Serial Experiments Lain

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnGppxxyN94]
This is the only song in my entire list that completely in English, I do love this song. It gives me chills every time I hear it and that is hard to do. When I hear this song it’s very hard for me to not completely break out into song and sing along.

12. “Sakura” – NIRGILS
Eureka SeveN

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrqmUlhpRf0]
Who knew Amaing grace could sound so cool? Even though all of the Eureka seveN songs were amazing this one left a strong impression on me.

11. “Super Shooter” – RIP SLYME
Gantz

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=832L1Ph1aTk]
It’s just badass what more can I say? I’m not a fan of Rap but j-rap just sounds so much better in my head I guess. I would have a figure from Gantz if they weren’t all so shitty, I’d prefer a Figure with the full body gantz suit than the slutty ones where it’s only like pieces of the suit. I really liked the show but considering that the manga is still ongoing in japan it didn’t really have a proper ending.

10. “Colors of the Heart” – UVERworld
Blood+

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGmijB62K0]
UVERworld by far my most favorite J-pop band ever. I was first introduced to them from the Bleach Opening D-technolife. But Colors of the Heart Made a lifetime fan, the song fit the show, plus the animation was amazing. I loved how they went with a completely different animation style for the Opening than for the actual series.

9. “Itoshii Kakera” – Melocure
Ufo Princess Valkyrie

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMfBkzf20Jg]
I’ve always liked the Cutesty kind of songs that came from anime openings. But this song is one the likes to pop up on my playlist every once in a while and I just really love it. For this series this song was absolutely perfect.

8. “Bouken Deshou Deshou?” – Hirano Aya
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zBXoMYCgXc]
I’m a fan of Hirano Aya but not a die hard fan. But still this song was pretty awesome, Maybe not as great as the insert songs from this series but thats for my next list.

7. “Tenshi no Yubikiri” – Fukuda Mai
Kare Kano

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdLH9cQmZM]
I love how this Series used the Manga for animation style. You can clearly see in even the Opening that most of it is just pieces of the manga in a collage style animation.

6. “Dogfight” – Move
Initial D: Fourth Stage

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-wlUtJqQ-s]
This song was a hard choice, between Noizy tribe, Around the world, Break in 2 the nite, and Blazin’ beat. But in the end Dogfight won, not only was the animation amazing but I can’t picture any other artist than Move for an Initial D opening. HAVE YOU SEEN THE DUB OPENING!!? It’s REALLY BAD!! Now I admit I don’t know much about cars, but the music from Initial D always makes me want to go down a mountain and race someone. Did I also mention that this show made me want a White RX-7 FC really really badly?

5. “Lucy” – Anna Tsuchiya
NANA

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7_v6MjbLDs]
I’m a die hard Anna Tsuchiya fan, so this song is of course on this list. I cried when I saw her live in concert at AX. Thats pretty sad, but then i bet 53rg10 would have done the same at the SOS Brigade Invation Tour (well maybe not cry but you get the idea.) Lucy solidified my fangirlism to Anna Tsuchiya. Anna Tsuchiya really has the perfect tone for Nana in this series, and I feel if they used a different person to do the singing for the Black Stones the series wouldn’t have felt the same.

4. “Sora iro Days” – Nakagawa Shouko
Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M5lTvzsWlQ]
There was no way in hell I wasn’t going to have a Gurren Laggan song on this list. I do think i’m going to have to see this series again in a few days, I’m going through Gurren Laggan withdrawals. But seriously this song is great, this series was just plain Epic and this song is the perfect fit for it.

3. “Sore Ga, Ai Deshou” – Shimokawa Mikuni
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvK4YQZ4R1Q]
Now this was a hard choice, It was a complete toss up between all three FMP Openings. I love them all so much and they each fit the series perfectly. But in the end I realize this song makes me sing along more than the rest, every time I hear this song I get the urge to just watch this series for the 90 millionth time.

2. “Catch you Catch me” – Gumi
Card Captor Sakura

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA0WJXmfvs8]
It’s rare for me to sit through the Opening of a series every time I see an episode. I’ll maybe watch it the first few times then skip through it for the rest of the series. Catch you Catch me was different, I truly watched this opening every time I saw an episode of Card Captor Sakura. The animation drew me in, plus the song was just perfect for the tone of the series. Yes platinum and Tobira wo Akete are amazing songs but I just ending skipping them once the episode started.

1. “Hemisphere” – Maaya Sakamoto
Rahxephon

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv5Bhk4L0ik]
I’m one of the rare people who actually likes both Rahxephon and Evangalion, they both were one of the few series I first watched. I think I can honestly say Rahxephon was the 4th series I ever saw. This song helped get me into Anime music and j-pop it was an important start but not the first song to get me interested in anime music thats for my insert song list. Sorry all you platinum fans this is my favorite Mayaa Sakamoto song.
