From
Rurouni Kenshin. Another of my early anime crushes. Though, oddly, until I looked up caps of him I remembered him being a lot buffer. I think my adolescent memory bara-fied him.
Sano had a lot going for him. In place of Kenshin's "oro", he was the show's token masculinity in a sea of prettyboy samurai. Also, he had a huge sword, and we all know how I swoon for those.
I spent half the series staring at his toned little animated chest. Whenever he'd fight, the folds of his jacket would open so nicely . . .
Armpit hair!
Looking sexy in defeat. (seriously though, Sano, eat a sandwich)
Bathtime with Yahiko.
He took his jacket off a lot but I always wished he'd remove those wrappings, too.
Some private bathtime now. x3
Aaaaand the fanart
Some beefy pics, more true to my own recollections!
So I started watching Peacemaker (a historical fiction samurai show) last night, and this guy rather quickly caught my eye.
No . . . not the red-haired kid. The other one.
And not the other red-haired kid, either.
No, we're talking this guy!
For the usual reasons. *sigh*
His name is Sanosuke Harada. In real life he was a samurai who lived in the late Edo period and was the tenth unit captain of the Shinsengumi. In the anime he's, um, still all that!
He reminded of another Sano right off the bat, what with his great love for food. I guess any samurai named Sanosuke is automatically hot?
And good thing too. He's pretty much the only breath of testosterone in the sea of bishies and jailbait that comprise the rest of the cast. (he's the one in fundoshi at the back ♥)
It was nice when he undressed right at his introduction in episode 2.
He bears a scar on his stomach from a failed attempt at seppuku. This gave him a reputation for immortality among his fellow warriors.
But in case you forgot you were watching a GOOFY ANIME.
Ha ha ha ha!
Mmmmm.
