MAHAHA! Yes, time for the next lady on the list! Ranking in spot #3, Maka from Soul Eater! Yes the lovely, intelligent, breathtaking and sometimes emo, Maka. I love love love love love love love this girl, Ok?! Did I get my point across?! I FLIPPIN LOVE HER! *Glomps Maka*
Scandalous, isn’t she?! In all of her epic glory…*Stares* Yesh, she is one wicked anime girl, there is no way to argue with that!
Maka is purely amazing. When I began watching Soul Eater, I was a little like WTF?! but then began laughing so frickin’ hard that I couldn’t stop. Maka became my favorite character the moment she was introduced. I know it’s a little presumptuous to pick your favorite character before you’ve seen them all, but I just knew I would love her best. I wasn’t wrong either, though the other characters are awesome as well, Maka just owned them all.
The list of reasons as to why I love Maka is extremely long, packed with immense fangirl love. I’m just gonna stick with the keypoints though, as I am sure no one is really interested in my ranting…
What makes an anime girl badass is her characteristics, fighting style, personality and ability to take it like a man. This is the list compiled in my head and Maka fits every single one of those descriptions.
The first thing that drew me in about Maka was her scythe (Better known as Soul, Lol). A really original weapon and not really seen much in anime. I’ve definitely never seen a girl wield one. Maka does though, and she does it well. It’s almost like the scythe was created to be her weapon. She has excellent skills when handling it and does not falter when under attack.
Her determination is another great point. You hit her, she gets back up, kick her, she gets back up. Nothing is going to hold her down. Whether it comes to fighting, strategy, or studying (I find Maka to be oddly similar to Hermione, only animated XD) she does not give up, does not back down and is determined to acomplish everything in her power to win.
Maka is a play by the rules kind of fighter, but she knows how to break them and doesn’t hesitate to do so. She can be cocky, arrogant, innocent and sweet. She pulls of everything she does immense willpower. She can also be emo at times, like when Soul got hurt by Chrona. I think being able to show a weak side is very important to a character, and in Maka’s case fear and weakness only fuels the fire. She turns everything that could be used against her into strength.
Maka is also extremely caring of those around her, particularly Soul. I know this is understandable as they are partners, but I think it’s a bond that goes deeper than that. Doing whatever it takes to protect someone precious to you sounds more like lovers than partners to me. ^.^ Then again, this could be my wishful thinking. But hey, as an avid fangirl you have to find the romance somewhere!
Maka’s fight scenes are intense, her moves are wicked and she knows how to use teamwork in order to achieve the goals set before her. All of the fight scenes in Soul Eater are good, but Maka’s are the best out of them all. She fights seriously, unlike Black Star who just fights to make me laugh. XD
Everytime Maka and Soul use the “Resonance of Souls” technique, I get blown away by the sheer capacity of power they can use. The way the scythe grows is awesome. It’s like they just click the “Power Up” button and end up PWNING everyone else. Especially in recent episodes. With Maka’s will to get stronger and Soul’s inner-demon problems, they end up benefiting. In the latest episode when Maka fights Chrona for a second time we get to see how truly badass she really is. She wasn’t messing around with the stupid crap, instead she went directly for hand to hand combat and ended up landing some pretty damaging blows. (Looking completely frickin’ cool in the process)
Another strong point for Maka is her intelligence. She can keep a cool head and calculate what is best to do in a situation (most of the time). I really love the filler episode with the exams, cause we got to see Maka flaunt her skills a bit. She is one of the most level headed charaters in Soul Eater.
No matter how many times I look, she is still frickin’ EPIC!
Gah, I made myself want to watch Soul Eater again. You’d thinking watching all of the released episode twice would be fine, but I just can’t get enough of Maka and the rest. (Death the Kid is pure frickin’ genius as well) Maka is just too cute, a school girl outfit and pigtails…What more does one need?
We’re nearing the end of this top 5 countdown! Look forward to girl #2 next week, cause after that there is only one more left! Then I’m gonna have to find another Top 5 to do. XD
MAKA ROCKS!!! I can’t wait for the next 2!!!
*crosses fingers for Utau or Enma Ai*
XD Gah, Utau and Enma are GREAT! But due to recent animes I’ve seen I may have to revise the next two! ^.^ It’s so hard deciding who’s the best!
I’m with you, Maka is the best , Liz and Patty crack me up though…
@voodoomage – I love Liz and Patty when they’re being dory, they’re just so funny!

I love Maka.
waooooooooooooooooooooooooo kw imagenta cool
I like Maka a lot too!
I wondered here on accident while looking for pics of Rena (I noticed she’s on your top as well xD), but the point is that after reading your description of Maka I got curious so I started watching Soul Eater and now well…I can’t stop T_T xD anyway, I was never a fan of the scythe as a weapon but Maka changed my opinion completly on that ^.^ Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some more Soul Eater epis to watch n_n
Welcome to the Soul Eater world of addiction! XD
