SMASh 201 - Anime Shadows: Who Fits The Bill?

Hello Shadow Hunters! It's SMAShimg time again with the Show Me A Shadow Contest 201 hosted by none other than the tireless @melinda010100. If you still don't know about this yet, click on the link here and discover the world of shadow hunting. It's super fun!

I've been trying to figure out which Anime character fits best these shadows.

That's always the thought that comes to my mind everytime I see these. The shadows are from our Snake Plant, the Sansevieria Fernwood, commonly known as the Snake Plant or Mother-in-law’s Tongue. It is a hardy, evergreen succulent of the genus Sansevieria. And this particular Snake Plant of ours is a hybrid of the Sansevieria parva and the Sansevieria suffruticosa.

Now why would I be reminded of Anime? You might even be wondering what this is. Well to acquaint you a bit here are some definitions of the word.

A style of animation originating in Japan that is characterized by stark colorful graphics depicting vibrant characters in action-filled plots often with fantastic or futuristic themes. Merriam-Webster

Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan. In Japan and in Japanese, anime (a term derived from the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. Wikipedia

And I should add "With spiky hair characters."

Well after serious considerations and deliberations with the experts in the field (that would be my son and daughter) the best anime characters fit for these shadows are:

Goku of the Anime show Dragon Ball Z:

That was fun. But once again I stray from the subject of this hunt which is SMASh. So I go back to our Fernwood Snake Plant once more. Here's a last look.

I can see why these photos made you think of spiky-haired anime characters! The name mother-in-law's tongue conjures up Vivid images for this beautiful sansevieria, too. Thanks for entering the saddle contest again
