Locked in the prison at Baste Dungeon,Ban is my first character in the B category. Ban (bahn), the Fox Sin of Greed, comes from the Anime Seven Deadly Sins. It is a fantasy genre anime that pulls in Arthurian characters, which has over-the-top action and is just a riot especially when the main male character, Melodias, is a perv.
Ban is an enigmatic character. He fell in love with a fairy princess, Elaine, but lost her in a battle with a demon. He can heal unscathed from most wounds, which makes him wreckless in battle nevermind who is the enemy. The scar is the only wound that never healed and was given to him by Meliodias.
He is emotional and appears laid back most of the time, but his motivations are deeper than at face value.

Merill "Benten" Yanagara is from the early 90s anime Cyber City Oedo 808. The foul-mouthed anime has a multitude of crude jokes and cursing, but the three stories are interesting despite that.Benten, as he is called, is a multi-life sentence criminal who works for Police Chief Hasegawa as a cyber policeman to reduce his sentence. The chief controls the mini-bomb collar around Benten's neck as well as the other criminals working for him.
Effeminate looking with his albino appearce and painted nails, he is anything but a pansy. He prefers silent weapons and has great acrobatic skills. He wields a monowire in his ring that can cut through steel or flesh.
I have never seen the Seven Deadly Sins, but my bf was watching it and he said it's really good. It... looks... good. :D :D

It is gorgeous and wild and weird and just plain colorful. meliodas is voiced by the same actor as Kirito from SAO. i highly recommend it as long as pervy stuff doesn't bother you.
DeleteI am pretty much anime illiterate. My kids watched Dragonball Z years ago and I watched a bit, but I can't recall character names. I can recall a few Pokemon characters, though, probably because my grandkids' interest in Pokemon has refreshed my memory.

Deleteat least you remember them. my mom won't touch anime at all. sigh.
I started watching Seven Deadly Sins on Netflix not too long ago, but I haven't gotten very far yet. I shall look forward to meeting Ban ^_^

i loved all the characters from sds but ban's story just killed me. the screwup with the princess got me. sigh. hope you enjoy the series.
DeleteI'm not much of an anime lover, but this sounds interesting for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat is most interesting is that there is something for everyone. From cute to horror and from action to hentai, the spectrum is huge.
DeleteI don't know a great deal about anime. Some of it is incredibly imaginative. I'll be learning a lot from your A-Z posts.
ReplyDeleteit is imaginative. a lot of thought goes into it. it feels more free with imagination sometimes than with other things. no limits to what they do.
DeleteThis is an education for me. There seems to be a lot to these characters.
ReplyDeleteExactly. The back story for charcters is sometimes intense and other times not so much. It depends on the type of anime.
DeleteI haven't seen either of these, but I love the descriptions of the characters. May have to hunt them down :)

Ah, I'm glad you miight have found a new show to enjoy. Bentens story is one you would appreciate.
DeleteBan sounds pretty human to me! Losing his love to a demon - isn't that how it always works?

i think that's why the story line is so good. despite the over-the-top fighting and magic and goofing off with the hentai stuff, the characters are human with emotions driving them to do what they do.
DeleteSeven Deadly Sins might be up my alley. And Ban sounds like a cool character. Might have to check it out. :D
