Gene Starwind, without a doubt. No, not because he's the coolest or strongest, but because he simply is SET. He gets through his entire series womanizing, being an *******, just enjoying himself. His only real skill is simply dumb luck. It would be a wonderful attribute to have, really. Besides, he hangs out with one of ONLY funny catgirls, the most well-endowed assassin I've ever seen (save maybe Taki), a ship AI who does nothing but serve him, one of two anime kids that I actually like (the second being Ed), and the best darned ship in the galaxy. Of course, the only disadvantage would be having to deal with Fred...
But really, Gene just gets everything and has a ton of fun doing it. What a life. Total freedom, wooha!
If I could be any anime character... i...hmm. This sucks. I would love to have the power and status (and trenchcoat) of Alucard from Hellsing, but I thoroughly enjoy being a girl! I can't think of any really powerful female (anime) vampires who don't look like sluts, so.... huh. GD, I didn't want to have to think or anything today lol Why are all the awesome people GUYS???!!! Alucard, Nightcrawler, Sesshomaru, Naraku, Vegeta, etc, etc. All right, If I could be any anime character I would be Haruhara Haruko of Fooly Cooly or Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho. Haruko b/c she is strong, funny, and has a Vespa, and Botan because she is constantly near Kurama...ahh, Kurama.
Hmmm....................only one?
Well here's several people I would be (And if it's a guy I'd be a female version):
Knives (My friend's nickname for me 👿)
Faye (Cowboy Bebop)
Wolfwood (His crossgun is sooo cool!!!)
Gene Starwind (I would love to fly around in that ship!)
Spike (He's so laid back and karate expert, who doesn't want to be him?)
Teen Gohand (Ryugen is right, best Gohan ever. Only time he was really cool)
Ryoku (sp?) [Been a while since I wateched Tenchi, but she was always cool)
And that's all I can think of right now 😄 😮💨
