Rant 4: Anime

Ah anime. The Japanese's way of showing how messed up in the head they can be, I'm not dissing them its just some anime is just weird but entertaining.  Some of my favorite anime would have to be SAO (Sword Art Online), Soul Eater, and Bleach.  Now into the actual rant about some odd things I've noticed in some anime that I have seen.  Alright, starting with Soul Eater, there is a few things that are just odd.  One of my favorite characters, a "meister", as they are called in the anime, named Crona, gender is never actually revealed.  His/her weapon, a demon-like entity called Ragnarok, has tried to reveal if Crona is a male or a female but has always failed.  Another thing that I kind of find weird, even though it is possible to be like this, is the fact that one of the main characters is extremely obsessed with symmetry, to the point that everything around him has to be perfectly symmetrical.  While yes, it is a little odd, it does provide some comedic moments, like at one point in the second season, he literally jumps into the sun just because the sky was perfectly symmetrical.  Sword Art Online, to me, seems like the most realistic of the three.  I mean its an anime that takes place in an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) but really the only thing that is odd about the whole story line is in the first series.  In the first series, the characters are trapped in a game( appropriately named Sword Art Online) but if you died in the game, you died in real life. I mean, who would but a game like that?  I wouldn't, unless the whole die in game, die in real life thing going on.   Bleach is just odd.  The main character, a guy named Ichigo, is forced into becoming, what I think are called, reapers(if I'm wrong I'm sorry its been a while since I've seen), and is forced to fight monsters called "hallows", which have something to do with a dead persons soul or something like that.  It is really odd but I enjoy it.
