The Embodiment of Taurus Diana Cavendish

Lucina - Fire Emblem

Asia Argento - High School DXD
Cagalli Yula Athha - Gundam Seed
Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Gon Freecss - Hunter x Hunter
Asuna Kagurazaka - Negima

From my research, what Taurus are known for are being enchanted by any physical manifestation of comfort and luxury, while many examples barely scratch the surface of these traits, Diana on the other hand is an Ojou-Sama, who better to represent Taurus than the pride driven top student of Little Witch Academia.
Far from being a rich bitch, most of her confidence is driven by her heritage and frustration of seeing others fail, she also admits her faults, and selflessly puts herself forward in pursuit of success, another known trait of a Taurus is that they're ambitious, focused, resilient and not afraid of hard work.
You definitely can't call Diana lazy.

Ishizu Ishtar - Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chiyo Sakura - Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun
Sarada Uchiha - Boruto

A brief description of a typical Aries.
Aries is a passionate, motivated, and confident leader who builds community with their cheerful disposition and relentless determination. Uncomplicated and direct in their approach, they often get frustrated by exhaustive details and unnecessary nuances. They like things quick and dirty.
While many of the examples have some or even none of these qualities, Kamina embodies all of it, he raised a revolution from the underground, rallying humanity in it's struggle against Lord Genome, unphased by the dangers, not one to be weighed down by the complicated, a swift punch to the face is enough to bring someone out of a slump.
You couldn't ask for a better Aries than Kamina.

Lum is Back to Reclaim Her Title

Anime's most influential waifu is back.

1978 saw the arrival or Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura manga, in 1981 the first tv series aired to high acclaim followed up by OVAs and movies, it started a renaissance for Rumiko Takahashi which was followed by success with Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha leading up to the 2010s.
Lum with her animal print bikini, oni horns and green hair is easily the most recognisable anime heroine in history, even non fans have seen her appearance at least once, as she's also the most frequently plagiarized as well.
Now in 2022, Urusei Yatsura has been remade and with it a new voice cast and new chaos, early reviews are solid, Lum ready to reclaim her title as best waifu from a number of young pretenders.

What Did They Do to Shino?

Naruto characters make for good observations, who knew?

When it comes to the Konoha 12 and their designs, who out of them is the most likely to become a teacher?
If you said Rock Lee, you would be right.
If you said Shino, I'd have to question your logic, yet Shino has essentially taken Ebisu's place as the goofy put upon teacher, yet one look at his design from Season 1 would suggest a different path.
The vibe I get is mysterious, stoic, unflinching, he's about to kill you.
His insect ninjutsu would suggest that he's into some horrific torture methods so I would've picked him as an interrogation officer for ANBU, but come Boruto he's lost all his cool mysterious aura and become a goofy teacher, it's a complete 180 degrees in terms of change, especially when the rest of the 12 were pretty easy to predict, even Neji with the way he talked about his fate in his clan was always destined to die.
Is this a good character? Hard to say really, he was done pretty dirty throughout his run as a character, he lost his relevance after the Chuunin exam, so seeing Shino like this as an adult makes me wonder what triggered that change in personality or maybe it was just a phase.
