Top Athletes: Donald Bradman The Greatest Batsman Of All Time

This will be the first out of the series of the top athletes around us, i'm not only giving you the best athlete, but they are all currently the all time record holder of the sport they played.
No matter if they're still alive or already gone, they are the one and only in the sport, no fans from the sport that do not know them, even non fans knows some of them.
To begin with the amazing set of list, in this "episode" i'll start with the all time record holder that no one have even touched what he has achieved, he is the cricketer from Australia, Donald "The Don" Bratman.


Sir Donald George Bradman, AC (27 August 1908 – 25 February 2001), often referred to as "The Don", was an Australian cricketer, widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time. Bradman's career test batting average of 99.94 has been claimed to be statistically the greatest achievement in any major sport, the other batsman could only score 60.97.


The story that the young Bradman practised alone with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part of Australian folklore. Bradman's meteoric rise from bush cricket to the Australian Test team took just over two years. Before his 22nd birthday, he had set many records for high scoring, some of which still stand, and became Australia's sporting idol at the height of the Great Depression.

During a 20-year playing career, Bradman consistently scored at a level that made him, in the words of former Australia captain Bill Woodfull, "worth three batsmen to Australia". A controversial set of tactics, known as Bodyline, was specifically devised by the England team to curb his scoring. As a captain and administrator Bradman was committed to attacking, entertaining cricket; he drew spectators in record numbers. He hated the constant adulation, however, and it affected how he dealt with others. The focus of attention on his individual performances strained relationships with some team-mates, administrators and journalists, who thought him aloof and wary. Following an enforced hiatus, due to the Second World War, he made a dramatic comeback, captaining an Australian team known as "The Invincibles" on a record-breaking unbeaten tour of England.


A complex, highly driven man, not given to close personal relationships, Bradman retained a pre-eminent position in the game by acting as an administrator, selector and writer for three decades following his retirement. Even after he became reclusive in his declining years his opinion was highly sought, and his status as a national icon was still recognised—more than 50 years after his retirement as a Test player, in 2001, the Australian Prime Minister John Howard called him the "greatest living Australian". Bradman's image has appeared on postage stamps and coins, and he was the first living Australian to have a museum dedicated to his life. On the centenary of his birth, 27 August 2008, the Royal Australian Mint issued a $5 commemorative gold coin with his image.


On 19 November 2009, Sir Donald Bradman was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.


Don Bradman probably not as famous as other athletes, maybe because cricket is not that famous compared to other major sports, but his achievement in this sport is far beyond any other athletes in the same sport could have ever done, this start off the top athletes story that is more to come ^_^

Top 20 Anime Characters of All Time

It's always a pleasure finding out the top 20 Anime Characters of all time, right? but i guess it's not as fun as watching the anime of course, but still, here i wanna present to you the top 20 anime characters of all time, well at least for now, hehe...

I can't help it but hey this is my list and this is what i found on the internet too... what i'm trying to say is that it is too bad the list consist of mostly male characters. Really why can't i think of any more female characters that could be included into this list? if you readers happen to know any female anime character that you thought could be included, please let me know, i'll take a look for sure, and i'll definitely add them into this list if they deserve it.

I really hope this list at least will either entertain you or make you curious and go checkout their anime series. And one more thing, i quoted some real netizen's opinion about the characters so that you could check out what people have to say.

So here goes the list for you (randomly ordered as usual):

KENSHIN HIMURA 

(Rurouni Kenshin & Rurouni Kenshin OVA Series)

His character is an honorable one that sticks to his beliefs and principles. Kenshin is also, in my opinion, the epitome of what a samurai should be. He is an example that people can change no matter  what they have done in the past. (lexinator)

Kenshin is a deep character who can only be judged knowing his complete history. One has to appreciate that he has a dark and a light side, that he remained pure in childhood despite having to kill, and in his willingness to repent. Kenshin's influence is unique, in that his high charisma allow him to gather a large group of loyal people. We also see his willingness to go back and complete his education, and his willingness to face the past and resolve issues, as with Enishi. His largest flaw is that he takes everything on his own shoulders, and he compensates for this through his relationship with Kaoru and with his friendships -- otherwise he would lose all will to do anything forever. It is easy to sympathize with and like Kenshin, and extremely difficult to hate him because he's not 100% good and not 100% bad. His priorities are a little off, as we see in the result that his son, Kenji, doesn't like him very much becuase he's always helping save Japan and never home. Still, Kenshin manages to grown and change, even after 15 years of wandering and everything else he's been through. As a character, he's roughly even with Ichigo from 'Bleach.' (Anonymous)

The man said to have had speed that made the gods envy. Himura's pure heart and manslayer side made him relatable to everyone. Of course, none us is secretly a manslayer, but we too have to face our own demons everyday. Perhaps his greatest influence on me was the notion of living to repent one's sins, not dying. (MLB568)

MONKEY D. LUFFY

(One Piece)

Monkey D. Luffy is an unlikely hero because of the way he acts. Very child-like, idiotic and blunt. However, those qualities make him a straight-forward and honest guy, which doesn't make him sway away from anything that he decides on doing. His courage is a contagious force and makes others follow such a hero. Monkey D. Luffy's legacy will not be known for his own accomplishments, but for helping others in need of true justice. (Anonymous)

He may not be the brightest person on the sea, but his heart is pure solid gold. He would do anything for his nakama, even die if necessary. He is always ready and willing to help and fight for the underdog, the oppressed, and those who cannot defend themselves. He never gives up or backs down until the wrongs are righted, the evil is vanquished, and the hurt and troubled are brought to safety. He is an inspiration to everyone he meets and helps to become stronger people themselves. He is steadfast in his convictions, brave beyond measure, a true, open friend and kindhearted to a fault. He is also one of the most bad-ass warriors in anime - he has honed his rubber body into a fierce fighting machine, creating and perfecting maneuvers that would be impossible for anyone else. You just DON'T mess with Luffy, his nakama, or the innocent, unless you want to get thoroughly thrashed. He uses his strength for the sake of others, not just for his own gains. These reasons, and more, are why he is my absolute number 1 pick. (InnerDemons)
Definitely one of the most popular favorites. He is mad, but he also knows and values his friends. Like all animes, the thing that iconizes Luffy is his ambition. He knows what he wants, and at the same time, he knows that he cannot do it by himself to get there. Hence, he values his friends more than his life. Willing to sacrifice himself to tackle on the most difficult of opponents for his friends. I guess self-sacrifice, the value of friends and determination to win (aka kick the enemy flying) is what inconizes Luffy and what I like him alot. (Stoopider)

GOKU

(Dragon Ball Z) 

The Great Hero of my generation. Goku is the strongest character seen in any anime. He haves an incredible amount of physical power, and an eveve greater will power. He cares a lot for his friends and family to the point of being willing to sacrifice him self for them. We get to enjoy a lot of Goku's life in the DB saga, how he is funny, a little clueless, incredibly strong, innocent, a good father, a good friend, calm person, and even if he isn't really one, he is really human. (satuross)

ZORO RORONOA

(One Piece)

Three sword style, the indestructible Rorona Zoro is truly one of my favorite bad-asses of all time. But its the back story that moves me more than the fights. As a youth, he and his greatest rival, also his best friend, sparred constantly. They swore, one day one of the two of them would be the greatest swordsman in the world. Before they could accomplish that, she died in an accident. The simple kind of accident that reminds you that even the great are mortal. To honor their promise, he adds her one sword style to his two sword style so that the two of them can, at least that way, be there together as Zoro fights his way across the sea to become the greatest. (Shardan)

GON FREEKS
(Hunter X Hunter)

Gon is cool. He is innocent and friendly. He is determined and stubborn. He is a really great friend and prioritizes what's important. He is a role model to everyone, even if he is still kinda young. (silever)

NARUTO UZUMAKI

(Naruto TV Series)

Even though he's usually just a clown, when it comes down to it he will never give up. When he wanted to become braver he went hardcore, stabbed his hand and pledged to become better. He was treated like garbage by everyone as a kid but can still cherish his friends. His friends mean more to him than his life. (Xyphon)

SASUKE UCHIHA

(Naruto) 

Sasuke was, all along, much more than the typical "silent bad boy" of anime culture. With addictive sub plots that twist through the main story arcs, and character motives that remain hidden all along, Sasuke captured my attention, along with my fandom. (Anonymous)

ICHIGO KUROSAKI

(Bleach)

Ichigo is a character who struggles with being different, and he's managed to adapt, in a way, to the attention that his hair colour gets, by being strong enough to deend himself and by getting good grades so he doesn't get much attention from teachers. Despite his reputation for gangster-like violence, he is also highly protective and accepting of most others, as with Sado and Inuoe. When it comes to his Shinigami power, Ichigo breaks all the rules, rising at such an extraordinary speed as to rival Byakuya, who slaughtered him initially. What makes Ichigo a great character is his ability to learn, change, and grow, as well as his resolve not to give up without a fight. At the same time, he's not perfect and he knows it. He just compensates for this successfully, which many other characters in anime do not. He is not weak or two-dimensional, and at the same time he is not all-powerful. Overall, Ichigo is a well-rounded character who can still learn, change, and grow unpredictably, a fact reflected in almost every other Bleach character who stands with him. (Anonymous)

Even though he's so powerful, he's just a teenager, and I feel this is very well conveyed both in manga and anime. He makes a lot of stupid mistakes and it makes him the more human and just plain sweet. ^^ Besides I believe orange-haired guys are just plain cool. (Anonymous)

One of my favourite shounen manga/anime heroes, not only is he tall compared to the usuall 15 year old protoganists, but also carries a huge soul slayer to cut down his enemies, and best of all: he doesnt hesitate to run his enemies through with his if he deems it necessary. (eyesotope)

KENJI HARIMA

(School Rumble)

He's the perfect representation of the tough guy with a heart of gold. Harima's honest take on life creates both drama and comedy. Throughout School Rumble, it is impossible to not root for Harima. (TomWorth)

SPIKE SPIEGEL 

(Cowboy Bebop)

 

Spike's pure bad-assery and devil-may-care attitude coupled with his ability to defeat any adversary that blocks his path, whether it be human, machine or anything else, and his die-hard stubborn idea that his one true love is still waiting, puts him in the upper ranks of the top 100 characters of all time.

one of the character i listed here, well that doesn't mean i have failed to bring you the best relevant list, that only means that you have been living underground for these past five or six years or so. lol. 


Nah... Just kidding, don't you worry, you'll definitely know all of them for sure.


Here they are in a snippets:

Patrick Star

Yes, of course he'd make it to this list, he's that dumb character from bikini bottom, he gained popularity because of his innocent yet so stupid behavior.

Curious George

George is a monkey who is quite curious by nature and his curosity takes you to so many great adventures.

Tweety Bird

Tweety Pie is a yellow Canary who lives with Granny. It has long lashes and a high pitched voice. Two hungry cats always on a lookout to eat this cute Tweety.

Garfield

Garfield revolves around three major characters, Garfield (himself), Jon Arbuckle (owner) and Odie (The Dog). As of 2007, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals, and held the Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip.

Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse represents Disney in all its forms. He started life in black and white Steamboat Willie. Mickey Mouse isn't just a cartoon character, mickey is really has become an icon for the Walt Disney Company, who is known for his pleasent and happy go lucky attitute.

Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson is known throughout the world. Having been on TV for over 20 seasons, this patriarch is not the father who knows best, but he certainly tries.

Bugs Bunny

"What's up, doc?" Bugs Bunny is, perhaps, the most recognizable and famous cartoon character. Looney Tunes were first created as lead-ins to feature films. It was only later the cartoons became a Saturday morning staple. Generations later, Bugs Bunny is still tops.

Fred Flintstone

Fred Flintstone is the forerunner to Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. He was the first portly animated husband who had a hot wife, not enough brains for his schemes and a bad temper. Yet, he loved his family.

Wile E. Coyote

Poor Wile E. Coyote. We don't want him to catch the Road Runner, but we sure feel bad for him. His ACME contraptions never work properly. You've got to admire his tenacity!

Batman

Can you imagine a time when Batman wasn't the Dark Knight we know now? Hard to believe the many transformations this superhero has seen through the years, especially on television. You can catch this caped crusader now on Cartoon Network in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. His chest is huge!

Tom And Jerry

Tom and Jerry chase each other, torment each other and generally try to defeat the other. Though Tom has the upper hand more than, say, Sylvester, he still has yet to make a meal of Jerry.

Tom is a lazy cat who loves napping, eating and running around the house to catch Herry, although he is seldomsuccessful. On the other hand, Jerry, the little mouse with adorable ears, us a fun filled loving mouse.

Woody Woodpecker

Another anti-hero, Woody Woodpecker lives to cause trouble. His most famous trait is no doubt his cackling, stuttering laugh.

Donald Duck

It wasn't the raspy voice or fashionable duds, but his eye-rolling attitude and exasperation with most of the world that made him so relatable.

Beavis And But-Head

Mike Judge (King of the Hill) brought us these stuttering slacker teenage boys on MTV. They worked at a fast food restaurant, went to school, watched videos and drove adults mad. Beavis and Butt-head were even popular enough to spawn a feature film titled Beavis and Butt-head Do America.

Scooby Doo And Shaggy

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are inseparable, in their antics and on this list. They're funny on two levels. The first is that, seen through the eyes of a child, they're just silly cowards who somehow always save the day and remain best friends.

SpongeBob SquarePants

Though several channels exist that provide entertainment made for the Y-rating crowd, one cartoon has endured for almost a decade, becoming more famous than its Nickelodeon fellows: SpongeBob SquarePants. Pineapples, snails and fast food were never so funny.

Popeye The Sailor Man

No one has ever done so much for spinach as Popeye. His bulging forearms, squinty eyes and staccato chuckle are recognized by many generations.

Popeye the Sailor Man is a fictional hero, who is most of the times saving his love interest Olive Oyl from Bluto, the villian. He gets energy from Spinach, although a big fan of Popeye series, but I still can’t convience myself to eat Spinach in any form.

Daffy Duck

Daffy Duck is to Bugs Bunny as Wile E. Coyote is to the Road Runner. Does Daffy envy Bugs? Is jealousy at the heart of his bitter attitude toward Bugs? Regardless, his tantrums and schemes make for great cartoons.

Bart Simpson

The next favorite character from The Simpsons is Bart. We all knew a kid like Bart, and sometimes wished we were like him.

Superman

Superman is the ultimate superhero. But is he a true superhero since he only has powers because he's an alien, from another planet? Or is he just a guy who fell to ground on the right planet? I'm sure fanboys debate this issue frequently, but still most people know this guy.

Winnie The Pooh

This little bear who started as a doodle in a beloved children's book has been a thriving franchise for Disney since they bought rights to him and his woodland friends in the '60s. Pooh is a cute cuddlesome bear who loves honey. With a latest flick on his adentures being stated to release on 15th July 2011, he will make summer break of Children, a memorable one.

Spider-man

Spider-man is the everyman superhero. He started out as the geek next door and was transformed into a mega-strong, mega-agile dude. Spider-man has been reproduced in TV cartoons many, many times. Most recently Spidey starred in The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Felix The Cat

Felix is a black and white cat created during the silent film era of the early 20th Century. His simple form and face make him easily recognizable. He was also the first cartoon character to gain enough popularity to award him a feature film.


So, there you go a nice list of 25 of the most popular cartoon character, hope you like it ^_^
