Huh, it's back. I thought Gia was moving on to a new project?
But hey, this week's list was pretty good. Though I wouldn't have put Bokurano's cast on it, they aren't deadly in the way the other members of the list were. Heck, it wasn't their fault that entire dimensions were destroyed after each battle, they were just pawns in a bigger game.

She has, if you'll note:

Unless Gia Manry has for inscrutable reasons adopted a pseudonym for this, this column is now under Ms. Lamb's stewardship. Hence why it's The List rather than Gia's List.

If it's not a list that I can finally agree with more than just a couple of selections. Particularly the cast of Bokurano.
As for the next, definitely Onizuka.

If Selim and Mariko teamed up, we'd be in an awful lot of trouble.

I think one omission is Johan from Monster. True only certain scenes are of him as a child, but for me those are some of the creepiest scenes of the series, of any series in fact.
Glad to see Pride made the list. That was the other one I thought of right away.

The lack of Hellmaster Phibrizzo is disappointing. I actually think that might be the biggest sign Gia isn't doing the list anymore - there's no Slayers character!

At the risk of showing my age...how about Akira? He should earn a spot in just the first ten seconds of his movie.
As for anime teachers, I'd be curious to at least audit a class of Yusaku Godai's from "Maison Ikkoku," since we never got to see much of him in the classroom. My guess is he'd be a little dry, but otherwise pretty good.

I'd be more interested in experiencing a class with Souichirou, although I think a class with Godai would be fun. I think he'd be dry, but he's such a kid at heart that things would rapidly devolve into fun.
My first pick would probably be Azumanga Daioh's Nyamo though. Spunky without being completely insane like Yukari.
There are really a lot of options for the deadliest children in anime. The Gunslinger Girl cast has some merit, not to mention Chise from Saikano or various cast members of Shadowstar Narutaru. Start adding in manga-only options and things just get more destructive.

Where's the Immortal Kid from Mermaid Forest? That one was seriously twisted! Plus, he's still alive, somewhere...

Well, if Elfen Lied's going to get mentioned then Lucy is kind of the top choice. One of her nicer moments: Butchering Nana rather than killing her. Now, how is that nice?
And somehow, I think the cast of When They Cry should be here. Sure, they kill the same people over and over and over again but just think of the number of killer loops they went through to get there.
As teachers go, I picked Yukari because what she lacks in anything that merits being a teacher she makes up by being a jerk. Huh.

I would have added Hansel and Gretel from Black Lagoon.

Masato from Rumiko Takahashi's Mermaid Saga was pretty terrible.

No offense, but I would've put Narutaru over Bokurano.

I would of included Killua from Hunter x Hunter. He's a child assassin who rips a guys Heart out and threatens a guy with a Knife.
