Anime Boys: My Ultimate Weakness

5/20/2017

Oh boy, hopping right into it with one of my favorite things about anime – I guess I should say oh boys, because yeah, we’re going to take a look at who I consider to be the best of the best in terms of anime hotties. All opinions are my own, but let’s get down to it. In no particular order…

Dazai Osamu, Bungo Stray Dogs

I didn’t really think that a trench coat, bolo tie, and mass of bandages could be a #look, but Dazai makes it work. He’s sharp and strong, albeit a little clingy. Not to mention he has the profile worthy of a male model.

Itachi Uchiha, Naruto / Naruto Shippuden

Itachi kills the whole ~mysterious cloak-wearing wanderer~ look. To top it off, Itachi is always prime for one liners and advice, even if it comes in the form of some slightly ambiguous, fortune cookie style statement.

Kaneki Ken, Tokyo Ghoul

Ah my ultimate weakness, a white haired anime boy. Idk man, something about anime boys with white hair, they become an instant fave in my book – with good reason. Kaneki blends his quiet, bibliophilic introversion with his sharp mind and strong desire to protect what he cares about, especially when it comes to his friends.

Shikamaru Nara, Naruto / Naruto Shippuden

This is the original bae here, folks, the man that started it all. I started crushing on Shikamaru back when I was 8 years old watching Naruto for the first time. There’s just something about that idgaf attitude and lazy yet effortless sarcasm that will never cease to be endearing, even 13 years later (lol). Lets not forget, homeboy has an IQ over 200. Beauty and brains, sign me up.

L Lawliet, Death Note

L definitely isn’t your typical anime heartthrob. He’s awkward, quiet, antisocial, and super pale (I feel ya there, bud). However, none of this stops him from being the world’s greatest detective. With an unmatched intelligence, massive sweet tooth, sassy one-liners, and awesome hair, L is the perfect quiet companion; just don’t challenge him to a game of Clue.

Shoto Todoroki, My Hero Academia

I think its safe to say that Todoroki is *cue Hannah Montana* the best of both worlds. Red hair, white hair; brown eye, blue eye; fire powers, ice powers. Can you find a more perfect combination? How can you not love this little icyhot tsundere.

Kakashi Hatake, Naruto / Naruto Shippuden

You may only see a quarter of his face most of the time, but no matter. Kakashi makes up for it with his dry humor and laid-back attitude. With gravity defying hair and a lightning style ninjutsu – he will be sure to go straight to your heart (no pun indented).

Levi Ackerman, Attack on Titan

Get you a man who can clean! Not only is Levi concerned with keeping things in order; he’s a fearless leader with mad combat skills. Not to mention, a perfect case of rbf. He also manages to bring ascots into the 21st century, always keeping things classy, Captain.

Kuroo Tetsuro, Haikyū!!

Nobody pulls off perpetual bedhead better than Kuroo. A science geek and volleyball captain all rolled into one? Talk about a great brain, wicked sense of humor, and awesome legs – it doesn’t get any better than that.

Rin Matsuoka, Free!

Two words: swimmer’s body. Although Rin is a bit of a shark-toothed, drama queen he makes up for it with his competitive drive, love for his friends, and killer abs.

Good lord was it difficult to knock my ever-growing list down to ten. What can I say? It’s hard to beat 2D perfection. Lets give a big thank you to all of the anime boys out there, setting unrealistic expectations for all guys in the real world.
