Teggy's Top Ten: Hottest Gentlemen of Anime

I do love my pretty boys! After putting together my list of the top ten hottest gentlemen of video games, I figured I was obligated to do the same for anime. This list does not include manga-only characters, otherwise it would be very different. I'll save that for another time.

Allons-y!


Honorable Mention:
Roy Mustang, Fullmetal Alchemist
Roy will set your heart ablaze with a snap of his fingers.


Honorable Mention:
Alucard, Hellsing
Tati: "Yeah cause I would so totally rub up on Alucard all inappropriate like."



10th Place
Ishida Uryuu, Bleach
Remember what I said about characters who wear white? Ishida carries himself with a steely grace. You'll need to have a will of iron to keep his arrows from piercing your heart. Those sharp glasses make him look like that brainy, quiet guy you know is secretly a stallion in the bedroom.


9th Place
Ran "Aya" Fujimiya, Weiss Kreuz
"Angsty redhead voiced by Takehito Koyasu." Need I say more? Well okay, Aya is a flower shop worker by day and assassin by night. He's willing to take revenge on the mafia with just his guts and a katana. His fantastic haircut and badass jacket secure him a spot on the list. Aya may have placed higher if his show didn't suck so much.


8th Place
Lord Il Palazzo, Excel Saga
Now he may seem like a man of little action, but Il Palazzo has one fantastic quality aside from his golden eyes and long, silver hair: ambition. He wants to take over the city, and then, the world! Besides, who doesn't like a villain with a sense of humor? I even named one of my laptops after Lord Il Plazzo because it was a "huge, silver, sexy bitch."


7th Place
Shinomori Aoshi, Rurouni Kenshin
Now look, it's been a long time since I've watched Kenshin. I don't remember much about Aoshi. But when what I remember is that he's a dead sexy anti-hero who carries an "additional surprise" in his scabbard...that makes him worthy of placing on the list.


6th Place
Zagato, Magic Knight Rayearth
Yes okay, this is an image from the manga, but it was surprisingly difficult to find shots from the anime. Zagato gets his spot for being the token "tall, dark, and handsome" guy. Other appropriate adjectives include "powerful," "intricate," "devoted," and "self-sacrificing." Why? Well you'll just have to watch Rayearth to find out.


5th Place
Kurama/Yoko Kurama,
YuYu Hakusho
It's two...two...two bishies in one! Everyday Kurama is intelligent, quiet, and romantic. As deadly as he is in his human form, when pushed to the edge, Kurama turns into a beast...literally. When he transforms into the silver fox Yoko Kurama, you may as well put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.


4th Place
Kaname & Zero,
Vampire Knight
Wait...I can have my cake and eat it too? Take your pick when it comes to this pair. First there is Kaname, the pureblooded vampire aristocrat who could take whatever he wanted, but doesn't. Then there is Zero, a white-haired human who is slowly losing his mind as he transforms into a Level E vampire. Are they in love? Hell no. They both care deeply for the same girl, putting them in direct contention in an environment where peace is essential to survival. With tension this strong, one, if not both, could snap at any moment.


3rd Place
Hotohori, Fushigi Yuugi
It's good to be the king! Even so, Hotohori is more than willing to step away from his throne to fulfill his destiny as one of the seven celestial warriors of Suzaku. He deeply loves his priestess Miaka, but sets his own feelings aside so she can be with another man. His duel with Tamahome is one of the most intense and dramatic fights in anime history.


2nd Place
Allen Schezar,
The Vision of Escaflowne
Any girl would trade her favorite pair of shoes to get caught in the rain with Allen. The white knight with the flowing, golden locks is one of the most swoon-worthy characters in anime. The fact that he's stuck on his dead ex, and thus unobtainable, only makes the girls want to win his heart all the more. If you're the kind of woman looking for a man to fix, Allen's your bishie.


1st Place
The gentlemen of Ohtori Academy,
Revolutionary Girl Utena
With more wicked upperclassmen than you can shake a stick at, there is plenty of hot bishounen action to go around at Ohtori. If you want the romantic ladies man, your heart will flutter for Touga. If you want a man who will take control, then gamble your well-being on Saionji. If you like the mysterious type who will push you to the breaking point, Ruka will tempt you heart and soul. And if you're willing to make a deal with the devil himself, Akio will take you for the ride of your life.

Teggy's Top Ten: Hottest Gentlemen of Video Games

There are plenty of awards and lists for hot babes in video games. Heck, I was once the secret mastermind behind a mini series saluting the vixens of video games. Last night, in the blistering summer heat, I found that I just couldn't sleep. During the bout of insomnia, I decided to compose the first official "Teggy's Top Ten," starting with my picks for the hottest guys in video games.

Honorable Mention:
Dante,
Devil May Cry


Honorable Mention:
Leon Kennedy,
Resident Evil 4


10th Place:
Altair,
Assassin's Creed
One of my favorite things to do with a cosplay is to dress in white when I'm playing a bad guy. There's just something about wearing white that freaks people out. Altair works the white, but he also has that air of mystery that makes the ladies want to find out more.


9th Place:
Siegfried Schtauffen,
Soul Edge/Soul Calibur
Siegfried's reason for making the list can be summed up in just four words: "Knight in shining armor." It's not just a figure of speech.


8th Place:
Xion,
Bloody RoarXion isn't widely known except among people who have played the fun, but not-so-popular Bloody Roar series. Xion is a silver haired bad boy in a great coat, and that's all I need to put him on the list.


7th Place:
Emelious,
Grandia III
I love a man with ambition, and Emelious is chock full of it. He doesn't fall for the whole, "I'm obligated to love you because you're my sister" bullshit either. When you face off with him, he has four weapons in use on the battle wheel, one of which will absolutely obliterate your party if you let it go off. The giant sword, flying white dragon, and elf ears don't hurt either.


6th Place:
Link,
The Legend of Zelda/Super Smash Bros.Link is my boy! He has always been my favorite character in Super Smash Bros. But I'll admit it. I have a thing for elves. However, Link never quite reached the level of hotness as Legolas which is why he rests soundly in 6th place.


5th Place:
Miles Edgeworth, Ace Attorney
I love a man for his mind, and Miles Edgeworth has a great one. The sharp, ruthless prosecutor has the cold edge that makes women swoon. You know how they say, "Women always go for the assholes"? Well this is one asshole who's worth it.


4th Place:
Belcoot, Suikoden V
Belcoot is a swordsman and a freedom fighter. He has rugged good looks and was probably my favorite character to have in the party cause he kicks the shit out of everything. Some guys just work those muscles. Mmm...muscles. Belcoot might have taken 3rd if he wasn't already claimed by some innkeeper hussy. Fortunately for me, Belcoot seems oblivious to her advances.


3rd Place:
Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII
Argh! What is it about Sephiroth that has girls going gaga?! Let's see. He wears black leather. He shows his chest. He has long, flowing, silver hair. He has shimmering green eyes. He's batshit crazy evil. He can wield a gigantic katana...and he loves his mother.


2nd Place:
Akihiko Sanada, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
I'm still trying to figure out why my heart goes pitter patter whenever I see Akihiko. Maybe it's the silver hair and the fact that he looks good in a uniform. Maybe it's because he can dodge bullets and destroy you with just his fists. He'll fearlessly take on a gun-toting robot for what he believes is right. Akihiko is the kind of guy who will lay down his life for you. Hey, chicks dig a tragic hero.


1st Place:
Balthier, Final Fantasy XII
I hate Final Fantasy XII with a fiery passion. Balthier was the saving grace for that game. The self-proclaimed "leading man" is quite possibly the most interesting and fleshed out character in the Final Fantasy franchise. He has the swagger of Harrison Ford, the good looks of James Marsters, the charm of David Bowie, and the voice of Ewan McGregor. Am I worried about Fran? Nah. Their relationship is totally platonic. If he treats his best friend that well, imagine how he'll treat his "leading lady."

And now...Balthier, a Sweet-Talkin, Sugar-Coated Candy Man
