And what does that make you? :mikey
We actually broke up a while ago. After spending some time staying with each other a while, it was apparent we weren't as right for each other as it previously seemed, mainly with her being a lot more emotionally unstable than she initially seemed. Already on the way to getting another gf though.
As for her politics, she was kind of centrist, though she seemed to have more left leaning politics when it came to social matters. Not entirely SJW at least though.

Pretty good. Got to look after my cousin's house for tonight since he's away, but it's a pretty nice house, so can't complain.

They could be entertaining at times such as Esidisi's crying or a lot of Kars' actions prior to turning into generic arrogant villain, so I guess. Wouldn't cite them as amazing villains though since they're only slightly fleshed out and compared to the other main villains in JoJo, the personal link they have to the protagonist is probably the weakest in the series.

Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam.
To go in detail on why, Char is a character who constantly changes as the series goes on. Being one of the first iconic anti-heroes/anti-villains in anime, he is easily the most interesting character in the original series by having a pretty strong revenge plot in which he plays both sides very well whilst showing his genuine care towards characters such as his sister and Lalah. The prequel OVA series, The Origin, as well as the manga it's based on help further show his rise as we learn about his childhood and how willing he is to do despicable acts to achieve his otherwise sympathetic goal makes him even more engaging.
In Zeta Gundam, he takes on the interesting role of becoming a mentor figure for the protagonist Kamille whilst also learning some things from Kamille during his rare instances of mistakes. What's most interesting, whilst brief, is seeing his interactions with Amuro and how at this point, they're on a thin line between friends and enemies, of disdain and respect by not fully letting go of the past, yet still looking at the bigger picture. It's a shame this only lasted a few episodes, as it's easily the best part of Zeta. His cool factor is also off the charts.
Char's Counterattack is where he fully becomes a villain. Many would cite his goal in it as out of character, but that's only if not looking between the lines. With the genuine care he had for Kamille and knowing what the war ended up doing to his pupil, Char taking drastic measures to bring about change in what he perceived to be for the greater good of humanity. He also shows some subtle regret and self-hatred of the action he must take with the line "Amuro, I'm about to do something extremely wicked. If you're nearby, sense my presence." It suggests that Char, to some extent, wanted to be countered by Amuro, be it for his own desire to settle their rivalry or feeling some subconscious level of regret in the actions he was about to take. The rivalry he had with Amuro up to that point and how their roles had changed so much throughout the series until that point really made the movie exciting as we see the conclusion to it.
9/10
I would've cited Griffith as the best, however, if it weren't for how he lost all nuance after becoming Femto and just became an evil rapist who can only ever speak about "muh dream".

I would if a new chapter came out, since I still want to see how it ends, though unless I'm mistaken it's been months since the last chapter (unless there's been something after Griffith killing trolls I wasn't aware of).

I'd be inclined to say yes as even with the hiatuses, I didn't expect Miura to have wasted as much time as he did with events such as Shiercke and Farnese's quest inside Casca's mind, so it took a lot longer than I thought to get to that point in-series as it is.

Millenium Falcon/Hawk has its moments, such as Guts' moment of psychological weakness when he forces himself on Casca and shows the darkness he's built up since the Eclipse or Silat getting some decent character development for such a minor character. These moments are few and far between, however, with the majority of the plot turning into a generic fantasy with a structure akin to a battle Shonen rather than the dark, Nietzschen fantasy it was before as the supporting cast (particularly Puck and Farnese) become far more one note, Guts gets a double-edged power up that despite the danger it poses to his friends, never actually harms them and the climax of the arc is just Griffith trolling Ganishka by showing off his plot armour. Also, the Kushan having never bothered to expand in a campaign into Midland fully prior seems like a poor case of Miura implementing a new idea into continuity when an army of magic users, creatures and an apostle capable of damaging Zodd as their leader should've had no trouble whatsoever conquering Midland in a matter of years. 3/10
Fantasia Arc has, thus far, been a whole lot of nothing. The Sea God section only took away a drawback of the Berserker armour, thus making it a far less interesting power up, and the one payoff in the whole arc of Casca's return to sanity was ruined by her conveniently selective memory. 1/10

Guessing "None at all" isn't an option?
I guess Vietnam. It's got good food.
