Yay, girls with glasses! Every maid should wear glasses. Otherwise they don’t look like maids. (The same applies to teachers, librarians, knights, ninjas, special agents, and…um…well…every female character? Yeah…)

It is possible to have too much of a good thing. While lethal cleaning staff is always a plus, they already have Walter, and any more than him would just be silly. She is an awfully cute maid though… 😳

I know from experience that I can watch an anime where all the girls wear glasses (G-On Riders) and not get tired of it. So, in terms of megane-kos, I don’t think you can have too many.

I think she’s based somewhat on Emma. A descendant?

Would it not be interesting if, in Shine’s strange little universe, Seras was a descendant of Emma?

For those working at Hellsing and wearing glasses there is that old saying: “You cannot hit a person wearing glasses.”

So I have a new theory…

There are so many people with glasses and blonde hair in the Hellsing Universe. It must be caused by something. I bet it’s caused by Vampire Radiation. It weakens people’s eyes, and bleaches their hair.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that turns out to be literally true.

And yes, I’m sure many of you have seen today’s maid before 🙂

Alright, its driving me crazy. I am now going to search through every Shine storyline until I find her.

…oh, and glasses and blonde hair are nifty. While I’m quite proud of my 20/15 vision, I totally think every anime character should wear glasses at least once in their drawn lives. Vampire radiation is an interesting concept, though.

Megane-ko for everyone! 😆

(I’m not, however, a big fan of blond hair. I much prefer black and red. This is one reason why I like Yomiko Readman more than Integra.)

by Elin-darling on Thu Mar 08, 2007 6:44 pm

Noooo! What a horrible reason to like Integra less! Integra is the most amazing, fantastic, intelligent—-Um, you know, I’ll stop, lest I bore you with an Integra rant….

But I happen to like blonde hair. I’ve started liking it even more since I found Hellsing, though 😆

by Xuanwu on Thu Mar 08, 2007 6:48 pm

I said “one reason.” Other reasons include: Yomiko likes books more than Integra, Yomiko has a greater tendency to cuteness, Yomiko strikes me as being more cuddly, and Yomiko has more hoopy powers (Integra has awesome sword skills, but Yomiko’s paper abilities trump that for coolness).

by Elin-darling on Thu Mar 08, 2007 6:51 pm

*sigh* And most of those reasons are why I admire Integra all the more…Except for the books thing. Someone should teach Integra that there are more books in the world besides Dracula.

I dunno about paper trumping the sword skills. I think thats definitely debatable. Oh, and I have no life, so thats why I keep replying right away.

Uhm… hmm. After seeing today’s strip I was imeadiately reminded of Kaoru Mori, but I can’t quite put my finger on it (maybe a descendant of Emma like everyone else guessed).
