Calling all the Sanrio boys (Worry not, in Internet you are safe) and Sanrio gals

Which Hello Kitty Reskin Sanrio character you love the most? share yours

While a no brainer, i ADORE KUROMI, she is a dark My Melody, but not a tryhard one like most goth characters, she can be legit cute and even adorabler than My Melo herself, the fact that in her debut anime she's the punching bag beyond being the villian that must be stopped earned some sympathy

For a second choice, tho, it must be Chile Morron... i mean Cinnamoroll, JUST LOOK AT THE PRECIOUSEST PILLOW DOG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish Me Mell is the best and she needs to be more popular outside Japan dammit.
 
Retsuko is my favorite, and Aggretsuko's been my favorite show since it first aired.

My second favorite is Chirin, especially after he got a taste for blood when he went on a killing spree:

I will go with Kuromi. I have no idea what Sanrio is, but my 9yo wee lass has a Kuromi phase(after unicorns, butterflies, My Little Pony, Pusheen, etc.), so I'm obliged to be a Kuromi fan(wallet-wise).
 
I love and relate to the chronically online and severely depressed Shikabane. She's not like... a core Sanrio character but I consider her to be one. Shame we didn't get more of her than we did (and that Aggretsuko Season 5 was all over the place in terms of story).

Not me personally. My younger sister however latched into a certain Hello Kitty Character created in the 70's. It was a mouthless rabbit character wearing a pink dress with a red ribbon on the ear in the style of Hello Kitty. She was Kitty's friend and she came with my sister's Hello Kitty dollhouse. When we acted as "mean" siblings that's so prevalent in mid or large families, we as kids used to hide that bunny toy and she'd get very upset. When it got lost on it's own, she'd get really distressed until it was found. It was kind of like a security blanket. The maddening thing is we didn't know who that character was since the whole packaging was in Japanese.

I chanced upon one of the toy catalogs we picked up in the Sanrio store and there was a listing for a package of Hello Kitty toy characters. In tiny writing, I read the word "Usakuchan" under my sister's rabbit toy in very tiny lettering. I might have read it wrong but from then on, we called her Usakuchan. (Rabbitish friend?)

Much later, I discovered she actually had an official name: Cathy. She was removed from Sanrio's characters due to a lawsuit by Mercis Media for infringement on their character: Miffy. Miffy is a popular Dutch cartoon character that looks similar to Cathy except she has an x as her mouth but no ribbon.

In the end, Sanrio opted to remove all traces of Cathy from their catalog and even removed/changed her anime appearances in older Hello Kitty media. I've been looking for a Christmas gift for my sister that has Cathy on it as depicted above for years (no substitutes accepted) but to no avail.
 
I'm not a fan of "Hello Kitty" (meaning I've never cared about anime or merchandise or other games, though I find it cute); when playing "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" I liked badmaru, pompourin and tuxedosam the most, but everyone was cheerful and positive.
 
Kuromi, because she share same voice with Naruto?

Nah, i barely know about Sanrio (planning to watch Jewelpet though)

I don't know if I want a Mega Man game with Sanrio characters or Sanrio-styled robot masters now....
 
I realize that, it's just that image in this thread makes me want a Mega Man game in Sanrio style or a Hello Kitty Mega Man ROM hack.
Oooh, yeah, I don't know if one already exists, but it's worth continuing to dream

Agreed, the second half felt like a different season...

Then again Season 4 kinda disappointed me as well.
