Day 5 - Anime character you feel you are most like (or wish you were)

Yuzuru Otonashi (Angel Beats!)

It took me a while to find this one because I was searching for someone that I could say “Hey, that is totally me.” But I forgot that anime doesn’t have that many dark-skinned characters, and the ones that they do have are either a minor character that has no personality or a girl.       

Looks? No.

Personality? Yes.

Otonashi is a kind, friendly, cautious and caring person that doesn’t want anyone to experience pain or sadness. Sadly he dies and wakes up in the afterlife without his memories. This leads him to think that his life has no meaning. Things start to change for him as the story progresses. 

Synopsis: Death and reincarnation are inescapable, but what happens in between? Without warning and without his memories, a boy who only recalls his last name - Otonashi - wakes up next to a girl named Yuri who offers him a gun and tells him to shoot an angel. Assuming it must be a misunderstanding, Otonashi is then almost killed by the angel and is drawn into Yuri’s army to battle to delay the beginning of his next life. Immortality is within reach, but if Otonashi remembers how he died, will he keep fighting or allow himself to vanish?

Overall, I enjoyed the series, but I wish they would have fleshed out some of the characters with back-stories and there were some plot holes, but aside from that, it was a really good 13 episode series.
