Anime characters you'd like to see running the country.

Postby Falco53 » Thu Jan 27, 2005 11:20 am

Who do you want to see in office?

I think that Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin) would probably make a pretty good president. Roger Smith (Big O) would make a simply fantastic president. He's got the looks, the poise, the charisma, and the character.

More when I have the time.

(This wouldn't be considered political, would it?)
Yeah, I'm that opinionated.

So otaku, but not...

Chujo from Giant Robo. Nobody would be cooler than him.

Plus, if the country was being attacked he could use the forbidden attack, Big Bang Punch!!

Seeing these "Optimus Prime for President" banners floating around gave me an idea. What anime character would you elect as president? Here are my candidates:

# Son Goku - The king of unilateral action. Not only could he invade Iraq without the support of the international community, he could do it without the support of the American military!

# Vash the Stampede - Although his criminal record bars him from legally competing in the presidential elections, this candidate's "Love and Peace" platform may be enough to make the American public look the other way.

# Kurata Sana - A strong, mallet-wielding presence makes Sana an ideal choice for America's first female
president.

# Nabeshin - All-around coolness and strong support from the United Fro League mean that Nabeshin will be a force to be reckoned with in this year's race.

# Haruhara Haruko - Despite consistently demonstrating her willingness to destroy all of humanity in the pursuit of personal gain, Haruko is more selfless and ethical than most presidential candidates in years past. Haruko's strong points also include strong guitar-based diplomacy and capabilities as a walking anti-drug advertisement.

I think we would be in some serious trouble if Haruko was elected president.

I was going to recommend Hamtaro for president, but changed my mind at the possible thought of cats being banned. *huggles his two cats*

I would like to see Hiko Seijurou as president. My libertarian leanings resonate with his personal policy of isolation, and I could really see him instituting a non-interventionist foreign policy. Of course, he still is quite able to annihilate the enemy should they pose a threat.

Save for Roger, I don't think any of them are naturally born citizens. Heck, Vash isn't even from earth and Hamtaro isn't even human. ^_^


With that said...... SCHWARTZWALD FOR PRESIDENT! (j/k)

I'll come up with some candidates of my own later.

The Cabinet of Himura Kenshin, President

Postby bigsleepj » Fri Jan 28, 2005 4:42 am

Himura Kenshin: President
Princess Nausicaa: Vice President

Minister of Defense: Captain Gloval (from Robotech)
Minister of the Air-Force: Porco Rosso
Minister of Army: Princess Kushana (from Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind)
Minister of Mecha: Roy (from Robotech)
Minister of Police-Force: Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Minister of Education: Uh....
Minister of Public Affairs: Lady Iboshi (Princess Mononoke)
Minister for Enviromental Affairs: Princess Mononoke / San
Speaker of Parliament: Captain Dola (from Castle in the Sky)

I'm imagining a cabinet meeting right now....

dreamy-harpmusic-interlude...

Kenshin: This one thinks we should order out for lunch before we continue with pressing matters of state. What should we order? I vote for Sushi.

Nausicaa: How about home cook?

Kenshin: As long as it's not Kaoru-Dono's home cooking...

(gets hit by a flying cup coming from absolutely nowhere and passes out)

Roy Mustang: I vote for chinese, Sweet & Sour Pork

Porco Rosso I take offense at that...

Mononoke Me too. Pork is ruthless exploitation of forrest animals

Iboshi I have too much trouble with pork, lets rather not.

Kushana: I suppose Roy was acting foolishly when he suggested...

Roy from Robotech: What did I do? I was only trying to recover a Veratech stolen by some punk kid out for a joy-ride...

Roy Mustang: She meant me, Robo-jock. Do you ever get sleep?

Roy from Robotech: Zzzzzzzzzzz

Roy Mustang: Oh never mind.

Kenshin:
(Regaining consciousness)

Oro? What's for lunch?

Kushana: Looks like pasta again.

Porco Rosso I have no problem with pasta. Its the bread and butter of my homeland...

Dola: I hate pasta. Sticks in my dentures.

Kenshin: Oro? Speakers-of-Parliament are not supposed to sit on the cabinet, Dola.

Dola: Well, I invited myself over. And call me "Captain," dag-nabbit!

And so on, and so on, and so on...

I don't see a whole lot getting done in that administration, which is sometimes a good thing.

I think Nausicaä would make a great president.
Kenshin would do better as Chief of Staff of the White House.
I like Galaxy Fraulein Yuna as Secretary of State as well. She has the remarkable ability to turn enemies into friends. Not that that would work with the French.

Good point.

Hmmmm...come to think of it, Lady Iboshi would have made a better minister of Industry.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

I'd suggest that guy from GTO at Education or the girl from ROD

As for the President of the CIA (or FBI), I'd choose Mokoto Kusanagi or ebtter yet Aramaki Daisuke from Stand Alone Complex.

Rally Cheyenne from Silent Mobius,why?she already has the expierence of
running a large corporation and she knows how to push the right buttons.
Witness how she was able to stop them from taking the AMP apart by
buying out the corporation that owned the police.
