We lost one of the all-time greats today. Her name was Jojo, please perceive her, taking special note of how long and limber she was.

Fuckin fine, dude. Whatever.

1. It can be goofy and still approach the trans-humanist themes seriously 2. This is what the Major was like in the original GitS manga:

Technically not an anime character, but Midori Hibiki from the GX manga. She's Jaden's mentor, has a cool Darklords deck, and is a total badass in the one match she gets - until she loses to some bullshit and then Jaden just gets up and beats the villain who beat her two minutes later.
