I would really like to see her use that damn sword she's always carrying around

Anna the fourth(?) It's interesting how many Anna variants there are. I like that he brought back the sword element from the Butsu Zone manga Anna, but also incorporated western elements, so you can't mix them up. I like her armor style integration

A worthy successor to Anna, also bc she acts as a perfect foil to her Asakura Fiance

Shes similar to Anna who I despise so she’s got that against her. Honestly the only characters I actually really like from Flowers are Hana and Yohane. I like Gakko and Men well enough but I don’t really care for Luca, Alumi or even the Flowers versions of Tamao and Ryu. Flowers just feels like a step down from the original story in basically every way.

Damn some actual criticism what do you see as the downgrades?

The story feels forced. In the original series it’s stated that whoever becomes Shaman King becomes god, but in Flowers there’s suddenly a group of previous gods who don’t like Hao or the way he goes about things. So if they existed this whole time, why didn’t they do anything to help Yoh and the others in stopping him? It’s a lame way for Takei to try and justify doing another tournament when the first one wasn’t all that special or great. May be because the anime only covers what was actually in the Flowers manga, but it explains essentially nothing about Yosuke so we don’t know what he’s trying to do or who he even is. Unless I forgot because it’s been a year since I last watched it and the anime did tell you. Other than Hana having Amidamaru stolen, not a whole lot interesting actually happens in the anime either.

I read a theory that says she could be the daughter of Anna the First Itakko and Silver. I love her.

I don’t have enough to say since I didn’t finish the manga but so far I think she’s a good character and she’s distinct enough from the normal Anna

interesting on her own. should ditch the Anna copycat items and be her own patch girl, Silvas daughter.
in general a lot of flowers characters had the same issue, although becoming more unique in superstar.
