A Debate on the Simps for Anime Characters

Over the years, anime has become one of the most beloved forms of entertainment, not just for the fans who watch it, but also for those who have an intense admiration for certain characters. These characters often become the subject of passionate fan adoration, a phenomenon known as 'being a simp'. However, there is a lot of variance in what constitutes an 'anime character that everyone simps for'. Let's explore some popular characters and the opinions surrounding them.

The Case for Sakura

First up, we have Sakura from Naruto, a character who has been a part of the cultural zeitgeist since her debut. Many fans are drawn to her intelligence, kindness, and growth throughout the series. However, the author of the passage shares a different opinion. The author, much like many others, is a big sakura fan and acknowledges her appeal, but professes that they would never be a psycho fan (simp), and would even go as far as saying that the recent trend of simping for other characters is quite perplexing to them.

Hisoka: A Case of Strict Criteria

The rise in Hisoka, from Hunter x Hunter, being a simp target has been noted by several fans. However, the author of the passage is of the opinion that Hisoka, despite being a complex and intriguing character, falls short of becoming someone they can relate to or admire from a fan angle. The creepiness exhibited by Hisoka, especially during certain scenes and his interactions, is a major deterrent for the author. These specific faces mentioned, coupled with Hisoka's occasional psychological and mystical prowess, make him more of a mysterious and perhaps undesirable character to the author.

Idol Culture: Love Live!

Love Live! has been a significant part of anime identity in recent years, with its cheerful performances and idol culture. While the author does appreciate the charm of the Love Live! characters, they express that they are not drawn to the idol aspect. The idiosyncrasies of this genre make it less appealing to certain audiences, suggesting that while fans have a genuine connection with these characters, it does not translate to the author's interest.

A Skeptical View on Shoto Todoroki and Bakugou

Boku no Hero Academia is another notable series in anime, with its protagonist Shoto Todoroki and his rival All Might. Despite their popularity, the author admits to having a strong aversion to both characters. This aversion is not based on any negative aspect of their personalities, but rather a deep emotional disconnection. The author suggests that some things are simply not to their taste, highlighting the individual nature of fandoms and personal preferences within the community.

Nagito Komeada: The Enigmatic Character

Lastly, the author brings up Nagito Komeada from Re:Zero, noting that he often appears as a homeless character. Despite his appearance and circumstances, Nagito has managed to win over many fans. The author is, however, puzzled by this. The intriguing aspect of Nagito, with his ability to communicate with the undead and his presence in a series filled with eccentric characters, makes him a character worth investigating. The author’s confusion stems from the fact that his appeal defies typical expectations, suggesting a deeper understanding or connection among the fans beyond the character’s surface appearance and lifestyle.

In conclusion, the world of anime is vast and diverse, with countless characters capturing the hearts of fans. While the author of this piece may not have the same levels of adoration for certain characters as their fans, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining personal tastes and making conscious decisions about who and what we admire in the anime community.
