At least one was accepted.
Lets get started. Squealer, I never thought he would be that important until now. I thought he was just the "side kick" of that possum or fox, forgot his name but, man.. he becomes more irritating and interesting at the same time. He is very smart and very manipulative.... I becoming anxious whenever I see him... He always seems to be going to the bad side. |
The more I think about Squealer the more I like him. As a villain, he's reaching almost Shakespearean heights, and he's definitely one of the most intersting characters, if not the most interesting.
|
Well now I wouldn't call him Shakespearean just yet, but he certainly has the potential to be one of the most fascinating characters this year.
|
Squealer's definitely less interesting than most other characters like Satory or Shun or Yomiko. (And obviously saki, who is awesome).
He is, however, the first real 'Antagonist' we see. All other characters we saw were just part of the machine, or simply trying to cope as best as they could. Squealer, though.... well, watching him being his Evil, Evil assholish self is going to pull at my heartstrings. |
I don't think he's evil, but I don't think he's good either. His actions don't look close to any sort of malevolence as, from what we can see, he's doing it truly for the betterment of his colony's prosperity. At the same time, he's not above doing certain things some POVs might see as evil if it is necessary, as with their treatment of their former queen.

He's more an overly ambitious politician then anything else. (Of course we all know what overly ambitious politicians can do :p :D) |
He's closer to the observation of how power corrupts, especially for those who aren't prepared when they get it.
Unless of course, this has been his intention all along. |
Quote:
He is the perfect example of a smart, ambitious man who not only lobotomize his enemies for more power, but recognize he needs to better his people's over-all power if his ambitions could work. |
Well he isnt really a villian per se.

Squealer is seriously unnerving. He's very manipulative and seems like he's not above doing whatever it takes, no matter how horrible, to fulfill his objectives.
What I'm not sure of is if his objectives are just attaining more power and glory for himself, or he's doing it for his people. Both ways, his methods are really questionable... |

It's early in the year but as of now he is competing with Makashima (from Psycho Pass) as the best villain/antagonist of the year.

You all mad? Yakomaru is the HERO destined to end decades of molerat slavery. He will tear those false gods from their pedestal, he and his people shall inherit the earth while simultaneously ending the corruption of the land caused by the overflowing uncontrolled cantuspowers of those who call themselves human.
Because really; shouldn't all intelligent individuals be given equal rights? |
Yakomaru is in no way a hero. I am not saying the humans are treating the queerrats right. I never said the queerats themselves were villains, I also see them as victims.
but that is a separate issue from Yakomaru. Yakomaru will do anything to get what he wants and not just manipulate the humans but also turn on his own kind. I don't think Yakomaru necessarily cares about the rights of his kind, from what I see he only cares about himself and his own hide. He's despicable in every way. |

You don't need to be honorable to be a hero :P. On the other hand, Yakomaru is clearly the creepiest guy ever.
