What is it that made you fall in love with Komari? Please go into as much detail as humanly possible.
Well, I first found Komari during a time when I wasn't sure if I had a character I could call my favorite character or my waifu. I was considering Nagisa Furukawa from Clannad, Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, Haruhi Suzumiya, Yui Hirasawa from K-On!, Senjougahara Hitagi from Monogatari, Saber rom Fate/ Zero, and a couple more. I was almost sold on Yui, (in fact, if you were on HB back in December of 2013, you'd have seen me with a Saber avatar and a couple of Yui avatars after that). The day Refrain finished airing, I watched almost all of Little Busters!. At first, I was torn between Rin and Komari, but once I finished the series, I was totally sold on Komari because of her shining moments in Refrain (ie the pancake party, which is one of my favorite scenes in anime, was all because of her). There are certain traits I almost always find appealing in characters, and Komari basically nails all of them. She's really optimistic and a wishful thinker, she's always super happy, she's ditzy but very much aware of it, she's not overly sexualized, she has blonde hair that is at or near shoulder length (I just find this to be really pretty), she's very open about herself, she's extremely moe, and she likes to make people happy. I for one always try my best to make people happy all the time. In fact, her Happiness Spiral theory has basically become my life motto. I do consider myself an optimist just as she is, and I do very much have a sweet tooth just as she does. In fact - and I've said this before - if you take Komari's personality, and combine it with Riki's story, appearance, and disability (yes, I even have narcolepsy), then you essentially have me. So, her being so relatable and even changing me as a person (as I did find myself living more truly to her idea of making other happy to make yourself happy after finishing the series) makes it so she deserves nothing less than to be my favorite character of all time. I can also go on about how well-thought out of a character she is in appearance and habit and how that ties into her story, but that's all of the characters in Little Busters! (and spoiler territory). I think I got most everything hehe.
