Cute creatures in Anime. Pictures within.

***RaiRai*** · 03-02-2005, 03:32 PM

I watched Spirited Away last night. I bought it on DVD a while ago and finally settled down enough to watch it. Although some of the creatures made me raise a brow, I couldn't help but go awwwww at the little soot creatures in the boiler room.

And they got fed little stars and kept the girls shoes safe and I wanted to take them home and keep them forever. If they were only real.

And so today I watched some Dragon Half...

Mappy, that cute little mouse creature in the picture. Adorable. He grows to be large and protect his friends. Aw.

And so this thread is for all of you who have insane little anime animal/creature fetishes. Post a picture of your favourite critter, explain why you like them, and which Anime they're in.

Kilala. While I don't have any pics of her(him?), she's just damn awesome. I don't watch Inuyasha enough to know everything, but my understanding is that she is, basically, a ninja fox. She's all cute and little most of the time, but turns into a giant fiery fox thing with teeth and claws. I saw a plushie of her at Suncoast recently, and wanted it so bad.

Tachikomas. Yes, they're mobile battle tanks, but I think they fit the bill. They're just adorable, and come complete with innocent little AIs. The best thing ever was seeing Motoko and one of the other Section 9 guys (with the beard) talking about trying to program in a concept of punishment into them. They turn to look at the one they brought... who's spending its idle time playing a GBA. Priceless.

I'm too good to you people:

Kilala.

Tachikoma.

I prefer the Fuchikoma, but probably because I have a fetish for red. <3

Ryohoki from Tenchi Muyo. It's cute, little, furry, and loves carrots.

Aerozord · 03-02-2005, 05:15 PM

well I remember there is something I saw in an anime that was sickeningly cute. But cant remember. So here is the cutest I can remember

Kuroneko-sama

Might not look the cutest but the way he/she appears sure is.

Kero-Chan from CCS - He looks like a plush Bear with a lions tail
Cat from Pita Ten - Forgot the cats name.....black cat of Shia.
Ahiru - A girl who turns into a duck...and the duck is amazingly cute and funny. Princess Tutu.
Shampoo/Ryoga - A person that turns into a cat and another that turns into a pig. Ranma 1/2.
Kakashi's Dog - Forgot his name too....Kakashi's Dog from Naruto.

I can't think of any others right now. There's tonsof Animals all over the place.

I spend too much time on random sites. Heh.

Kero-Chan. (He's adorably cocky.)

The black cat of Shia from Pita Ten, from what I can gather, is called Nyaa Nyaa. But I can't find any decent pictures. ;_;

Ahiru.

***RaiRai*** · 03-02-2005, 05:47 PM

And because vBulletin sucks, I shall double post to finish the collection.

Ryoga.

Shampoo. (Crappy picture, I know, but one of the only ones I could find that had her in cat form.)

And I found one dog from Naruto. I haven't gotten around to watching it yet, so I'm hoping I'm on the right track.

(This is what I get for being bored. Le sigh.)

Kenryoku_Maxis · 03-02-2005, 05:52 PM

Those would be them, but Nyaa Nyaa looks kinda like a cross between Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service and the Black Cat from Trigun.

While we're on that....Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service. Like Kero-chan. -_-

And how about the Fox Animal from Nausicca, which a grouping of them also appear in Laputa: Castle in the Sky. And then there's the Kodama from Mononokehime.....

Miyazaki's movies are filled with them.

And I was wrong on 2 points before. The dog is Akamaru (and he's not Kakashi's dog) and Ahiru isn't a girl who turns into a duck...but to tell you what she really is would be to ruin the shows story. And Princess Tutu has one of the biggest stories in an Anime I have ever seen.

***RaiRai*** · 03-02-2005, 06:02 PM

I found the pictures anyway. I like hunting. I really have to get around to watching some of these things, actually. Some of the storylines I've read through seem really appealing and interesting.

My friend mentioned that Nyaa Nyaa looks like the Black Cat from Trigun, also. I'm pondering that they're made by the same people? They like to do that occasionally.
