22. I have a long, long history of hating female leads, especially in anime, especially if they're ditzy and cute and naive...
I couldn't hate Tohru. Furuba is the last anime I watched all through, ages ago, and I still remember that first episode, fully expecting to despise this little character who was so meek and subservient and let people walk all over her like Cinderella and seemed to be waiting to be rescued instead of taking charge and confronting people... and I couldn't. There's a subtle, kind strength about her character that I wish I could emulate.
Thank you for reminding me of probably my only favorite female anime character ever, and why I like her so much. There need to be more characters like Tohru.
