How I feel about this character: BOY OH BOY DO I LOVE MY GIRL ANNA KOZUKI. THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE, MY RAY OF SUNSHINE, MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER. Every single second this girl spent onscreen was honestly a gift. Brash, hot headed competetive girls are one of my absolute favorite character tropes, and they’re such a rarity in general – even in shows with all female casts. And Anna fits that to a T. I’m one of those people who really isn’t into the card games part of YGO but I found myself heavily focusing on every duel with her because on top of her extremely likable personality, she has a really interesting, unorthodox dueling style (and she uses TRAINS!!!!!!). Everything about Anna is great. I love her.All the people I ship romantically with this character: Rio. It’s something I felt weird about for a long time because the two never talked to each other until I remembered that we never see Rio talk to the character she’s most commonly shipped with, either. I think the two of them have a lot of potential post-canon when they’re classmates to continuously challenge and interest each other. Anna/Rio is my favorite Zexal ship right after MizaKai, and with all of the Zexal ships I like, that says a lot.My non-romantic OTP for this character: Kotori and Cathy! That shot of them in the first II ED killed me. I love cute girls being friends and bonding as opposed to arguing over their mutual crush so much.Also, the fact that she’s standing next to Alit and Gilag and the fact that they’re classmates in the epilogue gives a lot of potential for wacky shenanigans that I am Totally here for.My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t know what the general Anna Opinions are, but I felt really weird about her crush on Yuma… While it’s not an opinion per say one thing I have for her that I haven’t seen much of is that I headcanon her as a trans girl.One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. I’d say “give her more screentime,” but honestly, that’s not good enough. Just give me an entire spinoff series about this wild girl and the adventures she has about her bazooka. Make it several hundred episodes. I would watch all of them.
