Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

I guess we've all had our crazy cartoon crushes as children, right? Talk about how Nobuo Akagi in  Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger  is so moe for Aoi-Tan (who's voiced by Hiroyo Hakase) except you were a child.

What's the real deal with Top Cat ? The show calls its main lead Top Cat (TC) though we never got to know his real name for a reason. TC's friends were Fancy-Fancy, Benny (his right-hand man), Choo ...
