Okay, let's be real. We've all taken those anime quizzes, right? "Which anime character are you?" They're everywhere!
And deep down, we all *hope* to get someone super cool.
The Allure of the Anime Self
It's fun to imagine ourselves as a powerful wizard or a skilled swordsperson.
Or maybe a quirky detective with a sweet tooth. We all have our dream selves!
But honestly? I always end up with the slightly awkward, bookish sidekick.
And you know what? I'm starting to think that's okay. Maybe even…accurate?
My Quiz Results: An Unpopular Opinion
See, I *always* get someone like Armin Arlert from Attack on Titan.
Brilliant strategist, kind heart, a bit of a worrier. Sounds familiar?
Or perhaps Izuku Midoriya before he got his *quirk*. Super passionate but kinda clumsy.
Some people want to be Goku or Sailor Moon. I get it.
I, on the other hand, get the characters that need a good pep talk and a comfy blanket.
And honestly, is that so bad?
Embrace Your Inner Sidekick
Maybe the quizzes are trying to tell us something. Perhaps we aren't meant to be the main hero.
Maybe we're the support system, the voice of reason, the one who brings the snacks.
And you know what? Those roles are pretty important too! Who would Goku be without Krillin?
Exactly! Someone to constantly save and inadvertently motivate him. Okay, maybe that's not the *best* example.
But still! The sidekick has value!
The Truth About Anime Archetypes
Let's face it, anime characters are often exaggerated versions of ourselves.
If you're loud and confident, you're probably *Natsu* from Fairy Tail.
Quiet and observant? Congrats, you're likely Sasuke (minus the whole revenge thing, hopefully).
There's an anime character archetype for almost every personality trait.
So, don't be disappointed if you don't get the super-powered protagonist. Embrace your inner support character!
Because let's be honest, the world needs more people willing to lend a hand and offer a kind word.
Even if that word is, "Hey, maybe don't fight that giant robot alone?"
So next time you take an anime quiz, don't strive to be the hero. Be open to the possibility that you are the one who *really* makes the team shine.
And if you get Armin again? Welcome to the club. We have snacks and strategy meetings.
