This is the Four-hundredth-twenty-ninth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

*Topaz drags himself to Ririchiyo.*

: TOPAZ?! What happened?

Intense... *pant pant* training...

: Wait, you actually went through with that? And it wasn't secretly something perverted? What all happened?

Well...

==Flashback begins==

*Topaz is back at the gym with Sakura and Miu.*

So what are we going to do?

: Isn't it obvious, we're going to ride you all day!

: We're going to work you so hard that you'll be sore tomorrow!

That sounds like something I'll enjoy...

: I even called some friends that are even better teachers than me.

Even better!

: Somehow I think that you're going to be disappointed...

: Look, they're here already!

*Two shadows loom over Topaz, intimidating him.*

: Gwahahaa, Is this the one you're telling us to train, Miu? You know you should stop picking up such scrawny men.

: Now now, that's why we are here to train him. Come, let us start immediately.

*Topaz trembles as a montage begins. First he's pulling Akisame on a tire.*

: FASTER! FASTER!

KYAAAH!

*Akisame whips him, forcing Topaz to run faster. Next up he's standing next to a post covered in ropes.*

Am I really supposed to punch this with my bare hands?

: Of COURSE! That's what all true men use! Now get going, you have to punch it a thousand times!

*Topaz reluctantly punches it.*

: Not like that, punch with REAL power!

But it's hard and I might hurt my hands.

: DO IT!

*Topaz punches it harder, hitting it more and more. In the next scene he's blowing on his bloody hands which are covered in bandages.*

: Do not worry, do this every day and you shall become stronger in a few years.

But this is so hard, and why can't I have Shigure instead?

*The TDB fundoshi girl pops down, hanging from the ceiling.*

: Sorry, I would only do that for... Zettai. He is the one that would properly praise my... ass.

*Shigure returns to her ceiling spot, bending to show off her fat ass to the camera. It comes so close she just about touches, with a great view.*

: Did you make sure the viewers saw your ass, Shigure?

: Ye..s?

: Thank goodness. It was vitally necessary!

: Apapa, when is it going to be my turn to train Topaz?

: Right now! That's all for your break, Topaz. Get back to work!

: I shall gather the statues for your next task afterward.

*We return to the current day. Fortunately Topaz seems fixed up, if exhausted.*

: Sounds painful, but I hope that it was effective.

I don't know. I don't plan on fighting anyone anytime soon.

: I suppose, but even a bit of hard work should be good for you. And no, "exercise" does not mean that you get "extra fries".

Darn!

: (You're so out of shape...) So how did you get so fixed up so quickly?

I ate a bean.

: A rainbow one? Look, I know that the guy says that they're tasty, but save them for the Pokémon.

Not that sort of bean, a healing one. Though that just lead to more training.

==Another Flashback begins==

*Topaz is in a large canyon-filled desert, with a green guy in a white turban floating in the sky above him. Yes, he's wearing that. Blame his MAL image of that outfit being poor.*

: So you think that you can get away with stealing one of the beans? I'll train YOU good, so DODGE!

*The demon/slug alien shoots many energy balls at Topaz. Fortunately he's able to avoid, as he has in the past.*

: Color me impressed, you're actually fairly good at this. Much better than my last pupil. But don't think that will make it any easier on you, DODGE!

*The barrage of ki shots at Topaz continues, as he runs through the canyons to block the attacks.*

==Flashback ends==

: I see. Well, just be glad you didn't have to go to a swamp planet to meet the green guy. Though speaking of meeting, isn't it about time to introduce the girl?

Well, I think we still need to travel there.

*Topaz and Riri arrive at the school, with Topaz being surprisingly back to normal.*

: At least that scene change made you not look as awful.

Thank glasses for screen transitions. But no time for meta-comedy, we have to set things up!

*The two head to a room, waiting for the girl of the week.*

: Did you really tell her to come?

I'm sure she'll come. I need to thank her for... things.

: Sounds suspicious. You didn't do anything perverse while appearing at Zettai's blog, right?

... Shhh, I hear footsteps. She's coming.

: Don't dodge my question.

But dodging is about all I'm good at!

*The door creaks open, and a blonde meganekko appears. Topaz blows a party popper at her.*

Happy blog day!

*The girl looks panicked and defensive, but quickly calms down.*

: HEY! Don't surprise me like this! Who are you and what do you want with me?

I'm Topaz and this is Ririchiyo. And I'm here to do my blog on you.

: I'm here to assist, but first... What did you do with Topaz?

: None of your beeswax. But if you're so nervous about Topaz why didn't he come to YOU?

: Um, er...

Teru! Stop that this instant!

: Fine fine... I'll let you talk about me as well, so do your blog. Be sure to talk about all my charming points too, tee hee.

*Teru has a cutesy smile, with her tongue out.*

I'll be sure to, and now that she's given permission...

Today's girl is:



Teru Hayama
from
Sansha Sanyou


Head
Hair: Teru has great hair, fitting a meganekko of her stature. Her hair is usually in braids that hang over her shoulders, with big poofy sides that lead into the said braids. Sorry as I can't describe them better other than "poofy", but in comparison she reminds me a lot of Yayoi as in Cure Peace. They both even have bright blonde hair. Teru's hair is a little longer, as her braids reach her chest or so. Length wise I'd say that her hair reaches about her mid-back which is really nice. She also has a few other hairstyles for variety, including a ponytail as seen above and also cute twintails (of the upper pom-pom variety). Teru's bangs aren't bad but are average, with the standard large middle bang with some gaps through the rest of her bangs. It looks fairly cute, and I really like how her face is usually framed well by her cute hair. While not long or dark, I'm a big fan of Teru's hairstyle.
Grade: B+

Eyes: Teru has cute eyes. They're tarame, though she certainly doesn't have the personality to match. Still, I like how rounded they are and the art style is very much to my liking. I'm... not sure on Teru's eye color. At first glance she seems to have golden eyes, which averages out (golden eyes don't really fit her personality, but I do appreciate when eye colors match the hair). However, it's hard to tell with the gradient and I swear that sometimes she looks more green than yellow (a yellow-green, but the shadow is the problem). That said, I still really enjoy the gradients used in eye colors in this series. It really looks amazing.
Sadly Teru's glasses don't stand out too well, though at least she wears them most of the time. Her glasses are a simple thin-framed (if framed at all) pair, with a defined nosepiece. They still fit her pretty well, covering the lower part of her eye and the thin frames work well as it makes the lenses look taller. She even wears them to the beach!
Grade: A-

Face: The art style again really works in Teru's favor. She has such soft-looking rounded cheeks, her nose is small, and everything just works well together. She also has some incredible expressions, which works well with the animation style being so fluid. Kyaahh, it's so hard to describe that just look at it:



Such adorable expressions.

Grade: A

Body
Build: Sadly Teru doesn't do as well here. She's about average for a teen, and isn't too shapely. She doesn't have anything too impressive either, and since she wears a skirt to the beach we don't get a good look at her ass either. I do suppose that her waist and navel are cute when shown, and her legs aren't too tube-like either. Overall not awful, but not too special either.
Grade: C+

Chest: Teru is also pretty bad here too. Not just because she's flat, probably the flattest of the main cast, but because she doesn't show off too much either. She even fits into the loli's maid outfits! Luckily she doesn't seem to show any jealousy from what I can remember, but her frilly bikini doesn't show off her flatness well.
Grade: C+

Clothes: That said, Teru does pretty well on the clothes front. Her school uniform, which she is usually seen wearing, consists of a beige sailor uniform with a brown collar, a brown necktie, and a plaid brown skirt. This seems really dull and boring, but the color is more surprising as most school uniforms tend to be red or blue (not that I mind those, of course). It's somewhat interesting in how drab it is, especially when the rest of the anime seems so full of color as it sorta works. Teru has thighhighs as well, which are always good. She also wears a red maid outfit (with frilly hairband) while working in the cake shop with her friends. She also has a frilly bikini which I mentioned before doesn't fit her too well (she needed something that showed off her modest charms like a school swimsuit or something) which also has a horrible skirt bottom, but she does have a pink one in official art. Speaking of official art she also has a pink wet dress as well. Teru has a lot of great casual outfits, though none stand out too much (though they are quite cute still). We can't forget about her green sleeping bag either, I liked the moment where they all tripped over one another xD. Overall while Teru could use a bit more variety the uniform-with-tie and great maid outfit really help her out.
Grade: B

Mind
Personality: Teru is best defined as the way Sonobe, the maid, described her at the start of the ending. She's a black-hearted class representative. That said, it's not like Teru is really that evil; it's more that she has a sharp tongue and knows what to say to shut down arguments easily using her words. She starts by sounding nice but really seems hit a nerve intentionally (with the other characters, not with the viewer). She is also brutally honest, and will hurt feelings if necessary. She's occasionally portrayed as a demon, complete with black wings and occasionally horns. Really it's not as bad as they make it out to be, they could have used more scenes of it but I understand as it does sound like her gag might stop being silly after a while. It seems that the reason that she acts this way is to intentionally fool Santa as she received the incorrect cat doll as a child. Teru is still the class representative and is fairly responsible, which is good, but it's unknown how much of it is an act. And she's extremely distracted by animals, especially cats. She even meets Youko and starts off the series by chasing one. She has one at home named "Beelzebub" because it was surrounded by flies when they found it (poor cat). She even dreams of owning an island and name it "Hayama Park" so that she can live her life with just animals. Teru was also an ill girl when younger, often being in bed and needing her sister to take care of her, but fortunately that doesn't seem to be the case now that she's older. Teru is voiced by Ayaka Imamura who does well, both the acting nice and being blunt portions as well as the cat-fanboying. Sadly she doesn't have many other big roles (and the others she does have seem to be mamocentric characters), but it's still good to hear new voices.
Grade: B+

Libido: Sadly Teru doesn't have much of a libido, unless you count the amazing love she has for cats. And I don't mean that, it's just that her reactions and sudden euphoria are great to watch. The closest human she bonds with really is the not-Hinagiku Serina as the two are rivals that eventually bond over their mutual love for cats. I suppose that she does hang around Youko and Futaba, but I don't sense too strong of yuri from those girls. Teru's sister Kou also took care of her while she was younger, which could also cause some emotions (though not too strong). And I should also point out that Teru definitely seems in control in whatever relationship she's in.
Grade: B-

Age: We have a definitive age, at least as far as the Japanese places I looked say. Teru is sixteen, though I'm not sure if that's before or after her birthday as that happens in the series. Her birthday is on Christmas, December 25th.
Grade: B

Total Grades: 74
Average score: 8.2
Final Grade: B

And that's the blog for today!

: That's all? I was expecting something big.

: Be glad that Topaz didn't force you to do some horrible fanservice thing. I THINK...

*Ririchiyo glares at Topaz who sweats.*

N-not at all...

: Oh please. As he said earlier I'm quite flat. Both the chest and ass. What would he want me for?

: Hmm, fair point... At least I have excellent hair and ass.

: Though speaking of the blog, I did enjoy it. *whispers to Topaz: You had BETTER have enjoyed your friend's blog too.* Wish I would have done better though.

I agree, you're a great girl and your show deserves more credit.

: A lot of shows these days are like that...

: But don't worry, I won't dislike you for judging me. You only talked about me fairly.

That's a relief. After the two angels I'm afraid of who may be after me. I don't need more enemies.

: Especially ones that are as diabolical as you.

: Oh ho ho, I take that as a compliment. But since it seems that my blog is over, I should get going.

Thanks for letting me blog about you!

: Of course! Now I'm going to go spend time with my cat!

*Teru leaves.*

Lucky girl, though I guess I still have a pet.

: Topaz, Rika isn't a pet. And I hope you don't mean me.

I meant my dog...Well, now that it's just the two of us only one thing left to do.

: Discuss the next girl?

I guess there is that, but THIS!

*Topaz takes out a box of chocolates.*

Happy late Valentines!

: Oh Topaz, you shouldn't have!

*She happily takes the candy.*

: Wait, aren't girls suppose to make it for guys?

I'm too used to the Western way of mutual gifts.

: Well, I still appreciate it.

I'm glad. And since you're likely still wondering, we'll be staying at this school again.

: We're at schools far too often these days. (Okay, so I know that a lot of girls go to them in anime, but still). Is it going to be another student?

Nope, it's an art club teacher this time. And another meganekko too!

: W-wait, are you doing a non-month theme of seasonal meganekkos-AGAIN?

There were so many good ones in 2016 that I didn't want to miss out on any!

: Aren't you forgetting the theme for March or something? I mean, you'll probably be doing the Long Riders meganekko now that her show's done but that will run into problems.

What do you mean?

: I mean Pretty Cure. As in the March tradition.

That's not really a tradition, it's just that I talked about PreCure characters a couple of times.

: A shame that we won't be talking about magical middle school girls.

Don't feel bad, I'll still talk about Cure girls sometime this year. It just won't be the theme for March.

: I guess the wait can't be that awful. I hope.

I hope it's not too troublesome. But as said before, we'll be looking at a teacher next time so be sure to tune in!
