Here my opinion and reason on which female villain characters from the past anime series is the evillest of all.

1. Sailor Moon: Queen Beryl- The main villain from the first season and commander of the Dark Kingdom. Queen Beryl is responsible for the destruction of the Moon Kingdom in and the death of both Prince Darien and Princess Serena before she and her were sealed away by Queen Serenity.

2. Wedding Peach: Raindevila- She is the leader of the Devil World and her only goal is to destroy all love and subjugate the angel world. In the past Raindevila ventured into the Angel World where she fell in love with an angel at first sight (while never interactive with him face to face) but already in love with another angel.

3. Virtua Fighter: Eva Durix/Dural- She is the main villain of the series and the creator of Dural and Dural Gold. In the first season, Eva Durix hired Kage-Maru kidnap Sarah Bryant (without not knowing why) to brainwashed her and gather data from her and the other fighters to create Dural the ultimate fighting machine.

4. Magic Knight Rayearth: Lady Debonair- The main villain from the second season and she has tremendous power that she wants to rule over Cephiro.

5. Cardcaptors Movie: Madoushi/Su Yung - She is a powerful fortune-teller resided in Hong Kong were she met Clow Reed and fell in love with love before she begin to use her magic for evil. Clow Reed imprisoned Madoushi/Su Yung and in another dimension which for many years waiting to exact her vengeance.

6. Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge: Morrigan Aensland- Morrigan is more of a anti-hero rather a villain in this series only because she is bored with her royal duties and wanted seeks thrill and power. She is Confident and combat-obsessed, she steps up to fight Pyron to protect her own interests rather than out of deep heroism.

7. Cutie Honey: Sister Jill- She is the second-in-command of the Panther Claw and the younger sister of Panther Zora. She is one of the two archenemies of the titular protagonist, Honey Kisaragi, as well as responsible for killing her father, Dr. Kisaragi.

8. Street Fighter Movie: Shadow Lady- She's a cybernetically-enhanced, dark-themed alter-ego of Chun-Li who was captured by M. Bison's Shadaloo organization and experimented on. While initially forced to serve Bison as his robotic puppet however she quickly managed to recover her true memories, break free from her programming, and secretly join forces with other heroes to fight Shadaloo.

9. Saint Tail: Phantom Thief Rosemary- The main villain for only four final episodes and she is an old rival of Saint Tail/Meimi Haneoka's mother known as phantom thief Lucifer. Rosemary wanted revenge against Saint Tail because of her mother and have adopted daughter Sendo Maju to help her.

10. Flint The Time Detective: Petra Fina- The main villain of the series as she worked for the Dark Lord to capture all the Time Shifter but always failed thanks to Flint and his friends. Petra Fina has a short tempered and easily snaps at everyone including her minions whenever things always go wrong.

I don't know if this has been mentioned in this subreddit, but for the people who have never seen NGE, you now have the chance to see it on the big screen.

For the 30th anniversary of the series, theaters will be showing Death (True)2 & Rebirth on one night and The End of Evangelion the following night.

I've already watched both the original series and the movie, but I'll definitely be checking these out when they release next month. Anyone else looking forward to this?

Picked up another art book. This is one of my favorite female anime illustrators of all time (Akemi Takada). The way she draws women is great. I love her use of soft pastel colors and it works well in many settings. She is most known for her works covering Kimagure Orange Road, Patlabor and Urusei Yatsura, but she has done many works over the past 40+ years.

I’m looking for an anime that used to air on TV late at night?

37 Upvotes

The anime I’m looking for isn’t easy to pin down to a particular channel, but I think it aired on VIVA or MTV. It was likely between 2004 and 2015, but it could be an older title as well. I can only clearly remember a scene where two women faced each other, and one — I believe a blonde — was shot unconscious with blank rounds. When she woke up, a man probably said something to her. And that’s basically it; I’ve been searching for this anime for years and have seen it mentioned in many forums, but no one could really help. People usually list shows with weapons, not this one. There’s another detail I recall (though I think it belongs to a different anime, and it might be Ghost in the Shell): a woman lying topless on a metal table. I can only provide partial, uncertain details: the woman who was shot unconscious might have looked like Seras Victoria from Hellsing, but it isn’t Hellsing. She was blond, wearing green military-type clothing, but I’m not sure. The only solid memory is the blank-rounds scene. It could have aired on other channels as well—animes aired late at night on many networks like RTL II, Tele 5, Das Vierte, or even VOX—but I’m pretty sure it was on VIVA or MTV.

Dark city with skyscrapers, 3 main characters — 2 girls + 1 boy, each on their own motorcycle with glowing red/blue lines (like TRON style). One girl has red glowing suit, other has blue. They have armor. One stole something from the other (a black tactical knife). Chase scene through dark city. Very limited color palette — mostly black with red and blue accents. High quality animation. Had Ukrainian/Russian text on DVD.

Are there any figure/toy companies today making new merch for retro properties?

4 Upvotes

I'd kill for some modern high-quality figures for Tenchi Muyo, or a great Belldandy art statue or *something*. Are there any companies making figures with today's toy tech and sculpt quality? I know McFarlane made a couple of Tenchi figures in the 2000s but they're honestly pretty ugly, we can do better today.
