Welcome to the Anime Walk of Fame, a series of retrospectives on the many characters of the anime world. You'll see all your favorites along with a few that deserve more than their reputations give.

So sit back relax and enjoy the show.

Ayame Has the Same Energy as a VTuber

The drafts for the best character lists are still in progress, so here's another character that might be on the list.

In Shimoneta, the government banned all forms of lewd content, Ayame is the daughter of a disgraced politician who fought against the legislation, not able to conform to the rules, Ayame takes it upon herself to become the masked terrorist Blue Snow, speaking lewd thoughts and spreading lewd literature everywhere wearing nothing more than a bed sheet and a pair of panties on her head like an anime Lady Godiva, her dub actress way more effective at communicating her lewd language, English has more lewd words than the Japanese.
In all honesty her energy is no different to how vtubers operate, watch anyone from Kson and Mori Calliope to Silvervale and Zentreya, and don't get me started on Projekt Melody just to give you an idea.
My point is, a big part of vtubers appeal is talking about lewd subjects casually, the same thing Ayame of Shimoneta is trying to achieve against a society that rejects it.

Anna is a Warning

In the current climate where anime is being tested on it's adult content as well as the horrifically bad attempts at censorship, it's probably best I bring up an extreme example of what rampant censorship can do to a person.

Anna started Shimoneta as a model student dedicated to keeping the values set by a country aimed at protecting it's people from the dangers of sexual content but an accidental kiss triggered a reaction overlooked by the system, Teenage Hormones.
In an over night change, she becomes a slave to her hormones desperate to trigger feelings and emotions that she doesn't understand but knows she wants more of as it's what her hormones want and it makes her feel good and because she was sheltered from sexual content including sex education, she's not been educated as to why and how to deal with it.
While a very extreme example, it serves as a warning, keep censoring the world and you end up with adolescent teens both male and female not knowing how to control their hormones because no one has educated them properly in the subject and I don't need to remind people of what could unfold next.
Educate properly and the populous will decide for themselves, we don't need someone to decide for us, Anna serves as a warning to that.
