Rei Ayanami vs Yuki Nagato
Hi everyone!
For a long time, I loved a very special Anime Character: Rei Ayanami. But time has passed by and I've watched tons of new series, but without a girl that strikes me as she did.
But watching Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, I became perplexed: The deepness, complexity and charm of Nagato Yuki blew me away.
Is Nagato Yuki the Ayanami Rei of this century? I think she isn't. Their development is quite similar but subtly (or meybe deeply) different, and many other things to consider:
Rei Ayanami: The silent, charming and misterious girl. A true icon. She has some advantage because of the inmeasurable popularity she gained across the years. She is pretty, inteligent and not very talkative. But she shows her emotions and her charm in the right places and moments. Another point to her favor: red eyes and snow white skin. A beautifully designed non-human girl with a very interesting history and a tragic existence.
Nagato Yuki: The silent girl with the breathtaking voice and the answer to every enigma. She may be relatively new in anime (compared with Rei), but she is also extremely popular. Why? She has the looks: little girl, brutally well designed, beautiful in every aspect, and that voice. She has an explanation for almost everything, but doesn't talk too much. She evolves subtly, but nicely. A beautiful girl with a mesmerizing voice, and incredible background and a very melancholic existence. (And she also non-human!)
