Am I The Only One Who Thinks This Is Funny? 4

For those who have read early entries here at Anime Watcher/Manga Reader, it's no mystery that I'm a fan of the Mary Saotome character from the Kakegurui series.  I was absolutely thrilled when I walked into the bookstore one day and saw that Mary, in fact, had her own series, Kakegurui Twin.  I can safely say that Mary is my favorite of the Kakegurui characters.

So, what's to like about Mary?  On top of seemingly being the most sane girl in the series, she's resourceful, hard-working, driven, and yes, she's quite cute.  She the polar opposite of protagonist Yumeko, who's insane, privileged, and...also very cute.  Mary is also the source some of the laughs I get from the series.  While she doesn't have anything that quite stands up to this barb Yumeko puts on Yuriko...

She may be insulting her, but at least she has proper posture.
She has hilarious moments of her own.  We start off with this gem, after becoming Yumeko's first victim.

This is what being up Shit Creek looks like.
Then, we have Mary in a head-to-head with her own first victim.

Mary looks funny when she's pissed.
Next, Mary gets the better of a student council member's dealer.  When a character overcomes bullshit, it elicits the best reactions from the bullshitter.

You should see what this girl looked like before she got angry.
And finally, Mary gets embarrassed by all the praise she's getting from her friends.

That's no way to talk to your friends.
And there you have it.  These are just a few of Mary Saotome's funniest moments.  May she have many more, whether it be in Kakegurui or Kakegurui Twin.

Anime Hotties: Yaeko Minegasaki

Image
Do you like young professional women?  Do you like women with purple hair?  Do you like Food Wars, but can't find an adult female to drool over?  Well, guess what?  She exists.  Her name is Yaeko Minegasaki. Yaeko Minegasaki isn't that hard to miss.  She's the first REAL threat Soma Yukihira faces in his quest to become a top-class chef.  She an urban planner and, as such, she's the devil. Soma is not impressed. She's a cool, mature woman.  She knows she's sexy and she's not afraid to use what she's got to get what she wants. A confident Minegasaki attempting to turn on the charm. She does lose her cool from time to time.  For example, she gets scared of buckets and plates of food for no good reason. It's like she's looking at a bucket full of death. To be fair, you never know what Soma is going to feed you. Of course, there's the obligatory food orgasm. The build up... ...and the climax. And a small ...

Anime Hotties: Ikumi Mito

Image
Tan, blonde, scantily-clad, and obsessed with meat.  These things all describe Food Wars' Ikumi Mito...or Nikumi as she's called in the manga...or Meat-Meat as the anime calls her.  No matter what you call her, she's the same girl. Ikumi Mito is a master of procuring, prepping, and cooking meat.  She's also a potential love interest for series protagonist Soma Yukihira.  Of all of Soma's candidates, she's probably the sexiest (or at least she dresses the sexiest).  Rarely seen in a full uniform, she's pretty much shirtless 90% of the time.  It's not hard to see where her appeal lies. Up close to Ikumi's..."appeal". However, sometimes her "appeal" is not good enough. "I lost?  Were my breasts not big enough?" She can be pretty competitive. Ikumi meets the competition. Even Soma can't escape her competitive edge. She can also be aggressive. Don't do it Ikumi! And she's unfa...

Anime Cuties: The Girls Of Himouto! Umaru-chan

Image
Himouto! Umaru-chan is an okay anime series with a decent amount of laugh and wacky characters.  Heck, some of them are even kind of cute.  In particular, you have the hot best friend, the creepy admirer, and the overconfident rival.  Respectively, Nina Ebina, Kirie Motoba, and Sylphynford Tachibana. Umaru and friends enjoy a day at the beach. Nana Ebina is the hot best friend.  She's content to live in Umaru's shadow and tries not to draw attention to herself.  She's a hick trying (successfully) to hide her country accent.  One trying she can't hide, however, is her DOA-caliber chest.  Her head tends to smoke when she's nervous, particularly when she's around Taihei. Nana's head smokes a lot... ...and please don't let her get near Taihei. Nana hides her accent well...until she eats good food. The difference between Nana and the others isn't hard to see here. Kirie Motoba is the creepy admirer.  She's an outsider wh...
