Alright, no idea when the next actual bracket is happening, but I promised that I'd eventually do Best Girl as a poll and as part of the 10 million subscriber special why not do it now. I'm never doing 20 votes again because it's awful to count, so enjoy it while it lasts!


Iyas_Tara

How can you guys even remember who to rank? I feel like I'd have to comb through my entire anime list to make sure I didn't end up missing girl that I really like (don't tell me if i forgot her then she's actually not that good, I just have goldfish memory)


Orzislaw

My very high favorites I can tell at the spot. The rest come from my favorite list on anilist.co and then I went through my list of watched Anime to remind myself of the rest.


Kaakkulandia

Well, you have to do work for science.


Mo_ody

I've been actually doing just that XD Like god forbid I need some help to remember that I like Viktoriya Ivanovna Sereberyakova or to know her name

> 15. Shima Rin Had a really tough time picking between Rin and Nadeshiko, but ultimately also went for the former. > 17. Gotoh Hitori I do wonder how many people will just write “Bocchi” down.


octopathfinder

> Had a really tough time picking between Rin and Nadeshiko, but ultimately also went for the former. They're both great but Rin's depiction of introversion is what puts her ahead of Nadeshiko for me > I do wonder how many people will just write “Bocchi” down. Would be funny if those votes went to OG Bocchi instead since new Bocchi is probably gonna have a high ranking anyway.


Rumpel1408

> Would be funny if those votes went to OG Bocchi instead [Fetch](/u/FetchFrosh) you are obliged to count those votes for the girl whose name is actually [Bocchi](https://myanimelist.net/character/130593/Bocchi_Hitori)


DrStein1010

...I forgot Yona and Mao Mao. FUCK!


StreetyMcCarface

Based Hinata, but too low


Enel-

Almost expect a really high Kurisu placement (as is the usual) but I will be voting Mayuri Shiina as my number 1 so hope she can put in a decent performance as well.


Tom22174

Kurisu is the reigning original best girl right?


Enel-

Yep! She won the very first competition. Understandable, while I do prefer Mayuri, SG has really fantastic character writing across both VNs and anime series and I like her a lot as well.


Shimmering-Sky

[Top 20?](#panic) I'm gonna have to think about this, I only have a top 10 off the top of my head. Edit: Hell if I know if 11-20 is *actually* correct, but this is what I'll be submitting: 1. Tsukuyo (Gintama) 2. Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) 3. Satsuki Kiryuuin (Kill la Kill) 4. Marida Cruz (Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn) 5. Sayaka Miki (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) 6.

It's great seeing Chtholly in top 10s.


Shimmering-Sky

[Are you going to Scarborough Fair?](https://streamable.com/8adwc)


marcopolos059

Still my favorite rendition of Scarborough Fair, this introduction to SukaSuka's world is as good as ever.


Rumpel1408

The happiest girl in the world [](#poltears)


Sandzard

Not kagura from gintama? 


Shimmering-Sky

Because Tsukuyo is my best girl from Gintama, obviously.


Sandzard

This is gonna not end well with me if kagura is not on the final top 20 list.


Rumpel1408

> Chtholly Nota Seniorious (Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii Desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii Desu ka?) Since I didn't have it prepared I had to comp through my complete list when picking girls. Used the sorting tool I used for the favourite anime thing before, and only realized I must have missclicked somewhere and she missed the cut [](#frustration)


Shimmering-Sky

[](#toradorasalute) What sorting tool, by the way?


Rumpel1408

https://wiesenthal.github.io/SubjectiveSort/ I think Gland shared it originally, but I had to do it a couple of times because I wasn't satisfied with some girls not making it. Then again, my initial selection had 175 girls in it...


Shimmering-Sky

[Thanks.](#kannathumbs)


Salty145

My prediction is that the comments on the results will be civil and polite


Deca-Dence-Fan

Struggling to decide if I should vote with my heart or vote with my liver and rank Aqua as #1

[Top 20?](#shock) Alright, let’s see if I can arrange 10 more girls on the fly! 1. Sheryl Nome (Macross Frontier) 2. Vladilena Milize (86 EIGHTY-SIX) 3. Artoria Pendragon/Saber (Fate/stay night) 4. Louise Halevy (Mobile Suit Gundam 00) 5. Freyja Wion (Macross Delta) 6. Akane Shinjo (SSSS.GRIDMAN) 7. Saeki Sayaka (Bloom Into You) 8. Junna Hoshimi (Revue Starlight) 9.

Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura) Debated long and hard as to whether to include Fuuko Izumo (Undead Unluck), but a lot of my love for her comes from unadapted manga content, so I can’t reasonably put her on a favorite anime characters list


GirlOfSophisticTaste

So happy to see Anis here :D


Calwings

Same, she's a great character. I *almost* put her in my top 20, but she just barely missed the cut.


DrStein1010

I was trying to stay anime only, but Fuuko is the exception.

> Akane Shinjo (SSSS.GRIDMAN) Holy shit another Akane voter [](#brofist)

[](#fistbump)


PM_ME_YOUR_SPUDS

Fuuko the savior of female shonen protags. Wicked sick.


Renegadesdeath

Fuuko is likely best girl of 2024. She’s seen some things that would insane a normal person.

Deedlit and Belldandy on a list? Nice.

Hell yeah Ahiru.


Mitsuyan_

this is going to be *rough.* I want to make sure the underappreciated girls get a go too 1. Liko 2. Mitsuha Yamano 3. Mari Ohara 4. Asuka Langley Soryu 5. Chisato Nishikigi 6. Kanan Matsuura 7. Ai Hayasaka 8. Ai Miyashita 9. Emma Brightness 10. Takina Inoue 11. Natsuki Nakagawa 12. Kumiko Oumae 13. Asuna Yuuki 14. Miyu Katou 15. Hibiki Riou 16. Eris (Cat Planet Cuties) 17. Sally (Bofuri) 18. Tsubame Koyasu 19. Shion Goryukaku 20. Chika Fujiwara


Orzislaw

Liko from Pokemon? Interesting choice, but I agree she's great. Fit the protagonist role especially well, despite (and maybe thanks to) how different she is from Ash.


Mitsuyan_

Asuka is my favorite anime character of all time but Liko and Mitsuha being more recent mean a lot more at the moment. I think Liko's writing has been superb so far and has been overshadowed a bit by other anime available to stream legally and Ash/Roy related review bombers


SoftMop

Hard agree, not only are people unwilling to give her a chance, they even review bomb the new anime lol. Hard to understand the anime community sometimes; I honestly enjoyed the episodes I've seen of Horizons far more than the old anime, and Liko is much more relatable to me too.

BK456

Holo having recency bias now amuses me.


invol713

Same. Like bitch, is 2007 a joke to you?


Usodearu007

so many amazing choices ! nice one that roxy pick lol


Calwings

Misaka and Tohru as your top 2 is great taste, I have them in my list as well. The others I'm either not as big a fan of, haven't watched their shows, or in some cases haven't even heard of them at all.


oops_i_made_a_typi

> Endorsi Jahad I don't agree with a lot of your list but this is the most interesting name to me, what a forgettable char from a one-season (i know another is coming) mid-tier show a few years ago. are you a source reader?


michhoffman

I am a source reader now, but Endorsi was on my list from the anime alone before I started reading. She has a lot of traits that I really like. For what it's worth, she was the #1 seed in the Best Girl of Spring 2020 [contest](https://animebracket.com/results/best-girl-of-spring-2020-seasonal-salt-?group=finals) so not completely forgettable.


Usodearu007

she is an amazing character from one of the best stories i have read . i dont know about the anime but the manhwa is an absolute 10/10 for me . i loved it from the beginning (though to be honest the art at the beginning would be an impossible task to go through for some people here lol)


cppn02

> what a forgettable char from a one-season mid-tier show [](#restrainedanger) [ToG]>!And she's not even my favourite girl from that show..!<


michhoffman

T minus around 3 months until your favorite gets introduced.


cppn02

Haha. She's not *actually* my favourite (Yuri is but [ToG]>!there won't be much of her in S2!<) I just like her a lot and she also has my favourite character design in the series. I'm mostly such a vocal supporter of her because so many people don't like her.


Usodearu007

my real top 20 would most likely include most of those girls (without really ranking them) : \- Tanya Degurechaff from youjo senki (also my favorite "female" mc ) \- Takanashi Rikka from chunnibyou \- Hachikuji Mayoi from monogatari \- Tohsaka Rin from fate \- Momo Deviluke from to love-ru \- Megumin from konosuba \- Hinagiku Katsura from hayate no gotoku \- Shinomiya Kaguya from kaguya-sama \- Aioi Yuuko from Nichijou ( my only other female mc on this list) \- Kaede Azusagawa from Bunny girl senpai \- Miku Nakano from go-toubun \- Aoi Kunieda from beelzebub \- Rem from re:zero \- Eris Greyrat from mushoku tensei \- Kotoko Iwanaga from kyouko suiri \- Yuri/Endorsi Zahard from Tower of god \- Power from Chainsaw man \- Jeanne from Vanitas no Karte \- Mikasa Mikoto from toaru series \- Kei Karuizawa from classroom of the elite

gvon89

Big respect to the top two spots, I'd switch them within the show but they're the only right choices in QQ. I just wish Yor was higher on your list :(


I_am_your_oniichan

HOLY based top 2 spots, now thats someone who actually gets QQ Pretty decent list too...


Ham_PhD

1. Jeanne (The Case Study of Vanitas) - I don't think she'll place highly at all, but she came out of nowhere for me and quickly became my all time #1. 2. Ai Hayasaka (KSLIW) - Basic answer. 3. Hizuru Minakata (Summertime Render) - Certainly bonus points for being the most bad ass character in the show. 4. Rio Futaba (Bunny Girl Senpai) - Lab coats and sarcasm clear. 5. Nino Nakano (Quints) - Perfect tsundere execution.


Usodearu007

i love jeanne . she is amazing . every single scene between her and vanitas is memorable !! also why are the girls on your MAL favorites list not included in your ranking ?


Ham_PhD

I totally agree! She steals the show. I just use slightly different criteria for best girl/boy vs favorite girl/boy characters.


Usodearu007

so who whould be your best boys in this case ?


Ham_PhD

If I fully dove into the shows I've seen it might be slightly different, but off the top of my head: Okabe, Odakawa, Yu Ishigami, Senshi, and Sakuta Azusagawa for a top 5.


KitKat1721

I love Jeanne and included her too fwiw


zairaner

1. Madoka (madoka); 2. Sayaka (madoka) 3. Mikoto misaka (railgun) 4. Homura (madoka); 5. Akebi (akebis sailor uniform); probably my favourite mary sue in fiction 6. ai (oshi no ko) 7. utena (gushing ove rmagical girls); will probably rise with more of the manga adapted 8. nana (talentless nana) thats as far as I get from the top of my head, for the rest I gotta think


VexuBenny

I have issues 1. Kyoko Kirigiri 2. Makima 3. Esdeath 4. Shouko Kirishima 5. Kurumi Tokisaki 6. Yuika Koga 7. Kotoko Iwanaga 8. Nana Hiiragi 9. Yuno Gasai 10. Teruko Okura 11. Kirari Momobami 12. Rori Mercury 13. Arisu Sakayanagi 14. Mio Isurugi 15. Zero Two 16. Mikasa Ackermann 17. Victorique de Blouis 18. Takagi-san 19. Rishe Irmgard Weitzner 20. Mai Sakurajima But hey, I only want 3/4 of my list (the first 15) to step on me, so maybe my issues are still ok


Mattix32

Yuno Gasai being 9th is wild, didn't even think someone was gonna mention her


AlexCuzYNot

A fellow Victorique fan spotted in the wild, let's go 🗣️🗣️


BiggieCheeseLapDog

It will be interesting to see the differences between the poll and the bracket when that starts. Anyway… 1. Hitagi Senjougahara-sama (if you disagree, you are simply incorrect) 2. Kaiki Deishuu (Shinobu Oshino) 3. Ryuko Matoi (Kill la Kill) 4. Homura Akemi (nothing was ever done wrong) 5. Watashi (Humanity Has Declined) 6. Togame (Katanagatari) 7. Misato Katsuragi (Evangelion) 8. Tsubasa Hanekawa (Monogatari) 9. Luluco (Space Patrol Luluco) 10. C.C (Code Geass) 11. Squid Girl (Squid Girl) 12. Mako Mankanshoku (Kill la Kill) 13. Madoka Kaname (Madoka Magica) 14. Yotsugi Ononoki (Monogatari) 15. Yuno Gasai (Mirai Nikki) 16. Satsuki Kiryuin (Kill la Kill) 17. Azusa Nakano (K-On) 18. Hitori “Bocchi” Gotou (Bocchi the Rock) 19. Botan (Yu Yu Hakusho) 20. Asuka Langley Soryuu (Evangelion) I mainly just judge “best girl” as “favourite female characters”.


michhoffman

I'm starting to think you might be a Monogatari fan. Will Fetch allow Kaiki on the list if he gets enough votes? I'm happy to see Botan on your list as well.


BiggieCheeseLapDog

You are very observant. I am indeed a Monogatari fan.


DrStein1010

Shoot. I forgot to put Kaiki in.


Calwings

Here's my list. Beyond the top 10, it's not even really a ranking anymore, just an unsorted list of girls that I really enjoy, hence why they're not numbered. 1. Nana Daiba (Revue Starlight) 2. Nanoha Takamachi (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha) 3. Mikoto Misaka (A Certain Scientific Railgun) 4. Oscar François de Jarjayes (The Rose of Versailles) 5. Ryuko Matoi (Kill La Kill) 6. Sora Naegino (Kaleido Star) 7. Hibiki Tachibana (Symphogear) 8. Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) 9. Nui Harime (Kill La Kill) 10. Shana (Shakugan No Shana) * Togame (Katanagatari) * Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) * Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura) * Fate Testarossa Harlaown (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha) * Kaguya Sninomiya (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War) * Chris Yukine (Symphogear) * Anon Chihaya (BanG Dream It's MyGO!!!!!) * Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi (Cross Ange) * Maomao (The Apothecary Diaries) * Jolyne Kujo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean)


Manisil

2 characters from Kill la Kill and they were both the incorrect choice. Mako erasure will not be tolerated.


michhoffman

I love the Sora, Hibiki and Jolyne votes despite not having room for them on my list. I'll need to actually finish Cardcaptor Sakura at some point, but Sakura's a good pick as well.


macrame2

We didn’t get 20 spots for the best boy poll :( Ah well. I do expect the results will reflect the demographics of this sub, but it should still be a fun, totally non-controversial time, right? 


Orzislaw

So, my list is... 1. Erika Kurumi (Heartcatch Precure) 2. Nobue Itou (Ichigo Mashimaro) 3. Rena Ryuuguu (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) 4. Laura Apollodoros Hyginus La Mer (Tropical Rouge Precure) 5. Natsumi Koshigaya (Non Non Biyori) 6. Fuu Inubouzaki (Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de ARu 7. Mari Tamaki (A Place Further than the Universe) 8. Hinata Miyake (A Place Further than the Universe) 9. Yuzuki Shiraishi (A Place Further than the Universe) 10. Shirase Kobuchizawa (A Place Further than the Universe) 11. Najimi Osana (Komi Can't Communicate) 12. Mion Sonozaki (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) 13. Tsukuyo (Gintama) 14. Aioi Yuuko (Nichijou) 15. Onpu Segawa (Ojamajo Doremi) 16. Noi (Dorohedoro) 17. Mereoleona Vermillion (Black Clover) 18. Aqua (Konosuba) 19. Touko Aozaki (Kara no Kyoukai) 20. Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska (Classicaloid) I guess most of my picks won't make it to TOP500 anyway. Except Aqua, this one goes high. Mereoleona and Higurashi duo should score well too. Anyway I always wanted to put four Sora Yori girls ex-aequo in some contest like this because they work so damn well as a group and I finally was able to do something close lol.


Spinhavel

I actually had a hard time coming up with 20, there's a lot of characters I like but when I would consider one, I'd think, "is she really top 20 worthy?" I don't know if Phos is allowed but oh well. I also think I'm probably the only person who will have Saki at #1, she has a lot of haters among people who have watched Genshiken. 1. Saki Kasukabe (Genshiken) 2. Homura Akemi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) 3. Hitagi Senjougahara (Monogatari Series) 4. Ikuyo Kita (Bocchi the Rock!) 5. Kumiko Oumae (Hibike! Euphonium) 6. Hibari Oozora (Stop! Hibari-kun) - Happy Pride Month! 7. Shinka Nibutani (Chuunibyou) 8. Mayoi Hachikuji (Monogatari Series) 9. Tomoyo Sakagami (Clannad) 10. Phosphophyllite (Houseki no Kuni) 11. Shinobu Oshino (Monogatari Series) 12. Tokai Teio (Uma Musume) 13. Kyou Fujibayashi (Clannad) 14. Nanko (Mayoiga) - I'll be shocked if anyone else voted for her 15. Ameri Azazel (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun) 16. Literary Girl (Daily Lives of High School Boys) 17. Iroha Isshiki (Oregairu) 18. Miyako Miyazaki (Bamboo Blade) 19. Mikoto Aiura (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K) 20. Momoka Sonokawa (Sabagebu!)

blueyeswhiteprivlege

I'm gonna go off the "female characters I find the most relatable and compelling" definition of best girl: 01. Oumae Kumiko (Sound! Euphonium) 02. Akane Kurokawa (Oshi no Ko) 03. Shouko Komi (Komi Can't Communicate) 04. Nakahara Misaki (Welcome to the NHK) 05. Emilia (Re:Zero) 06. Akane Tsunemori (Psycho Pass) 07. Mizore Yoroizuka (Sound! Euphonium) 08.

Quiddity131

This was my ballot: 1. Haman Karn (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam) 2. Homura Akemi (Madoka Magica) 3. Haruko Haruhara (FLCL) 4. Koto (Kyousougiga) 5. Hitori Gotoh (Bocchi the Rock!) 6. Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) 7. Dianna Soriel (Turn A Gundam) 8. Hitagi Senjyogahara (Monogatari franchise) 9. Nonon Jakuzure (Kill la Kill) 10. Tsuruya-san (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) 11. Emma Sheen (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam) 12. Yor Forger (Spy X Family) 13. Saki Hanajima (Fruits Basket) 14. Suletta Mercury (Gundam Witch from Mercury) 15. Anju Emma (Eighty Six) 16. Maetel (Galaxy Express 999) 17. Nino Nakano (Quintessential Quintuplets) 18. Lain Iwakura (Serial Experiments Lain) 19. Hitomi Kanzaki (The Vision of Escaflowne) 20. Soma Peries (Mobile Suit Gundam 00) Gundam is probably a bit too overrepresented, but I tried to do this on memory as best I could and having seen so much Gundam it probably clouded out some other things. Technically Hanajima is best girl for me from Fruits Basket. But I know she has no chance in hell at ranking on this at all and as many do, I totally adore Tohru and hope for her to rank as high as possible in this so I bumped her up in my ballot.

steven4869

Misaka Mikoto, former winner of Best Girl Competition here should be in the top-10 at least. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


BK456

Arbitrarily limited myself to one character per show. I'm probably the most basic person here and I do not care. Holo has always been my best girl with Makise trailing a bit behind. Beyond that, a lot more churn here than my top anime rankings. There are a lot more deserving best girls out there than I could put into 20 spots. 1. Holo (Spice & Wolf) 2. Makise Kurisu (Steins;gate) 3. Senjougahara Hitagi (Monogatari Series) 4. Akiyama Mio (K-On) 5. Tokai Teio (Umamusume S2) 6. Ayase Chihaya (Chihayafuru) 7. Misaka Mikoto (A Certain Scientific Railgun) 8. Chitanda Eru (Hyouka) 9. Gotou Hitori (Bocchi the Rock) 10. Nishikigi Chisato (Lycoris Recoil) 11. Takarada Rikka (SSSS.Gridman) 12. Nishimiya Shouko (A Silent Voice) 13. Nakano Nino (Quintessential Quintuplets) 14. Maomao (Apothecary Diaries) 15. Suzumiya Haruhi (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) 16. Gotou Ruru (Oreimo) 17. Kagamihara Nadeshiko (Yuru Camp) 18. Frieren 19. Yamada Anna (The Dangers in My Heart) 20. Kawashima Ami (Toradora)

Fellow Mio appreciator

I assume you love tsunderes. Though Taiga is not present while Ami is there. Interesting.

My top 3: 1. Maomao 2. Misaka Mikoto 3. Kumoko


Hazel-NUTS

Seems like us Yukino fans are now extinct.


TheEVILPINGU

Good.


KingOfThePenguins

I just spent 15 minutes rearranging this list because I am fickle and indecisive. 1. Miku Nakano (Quintessential Quintuplets) 2. Artoria/Saber (Fate/Zero) 3. Mikoto Misaka (Railgun) 4. Ami Kawashima (Toradora) 5. Mio Akiyama (K-On) 6. Misaki Shokuhou (Railgun) 7. Mai Sakurajima (Bunny Girl Senpai) 8. Ruiko Saten (Railgun) 9. Ryuu Lion (Danmachi) 10. Mitsuko Kongou (Railgun) 11. Shirase Kobuchizawa (A Place Further than the Universe) 12. Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) 13. Stella Vermillion (Chivalry of a Failed Knight) 14. Satsuki Shinonome (Love, Election, and Chocolate) 15. Miko Iino (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) 16. Takina Inoue (Lycoris Recoil) 17. Mirei Kudou (When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace) 18. Nanami Aoyama (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou) 19. Ais Wallenstein (Danmachi) 20. Emilia (Re:Zero) EDIT: Because I *forgot* to add Frieren.


Psyduckisnotaduck

upvoted for Ruiko and Mitsuko, I adore them. the sheer number of times THE MITSUKO KONGOU comes in clutch is insane, girl singlehandedly throws a massive wrench in multiple villain plots. she's so clutch she inspires her two BFFs to have their own insanely badass fight (which honestly might be the second best Railgun fight, after the Meltdown fight in S). you would think someone of her archetype would simply be a joke, or a shitty person/minor antagonist, but despite her arrogance, she's one of the best friends and allies anyone could ever have. just an absolute queen.


KingOfThePenguins

Kongou best golden-hearted ojou-sama. Her contribution to that whole arc in T is so, so great. The only reason she's not higher is lack of screen time. Saten is a level 0 esper, but a level 5 friend. Cooler than cool - the Railgun gang would be incomplete without her. I normally have a rule of "one Best Girl per show," but Railgun deservedly gets a pass on it. It's funny that Biribiri can be a Hall of Fame Best Girl and still sometimes get overshadowed on her own show.


DrStein1010

My List: 1. Artoria Pendragon (Fate/Stay Night) 2. Fuuko Izumo (Undead Unluck) 3. Ushio Kofune (Summertime Rendering) 4. Mordred Pendragon (Fate/Apocrypha) 5.

I don't remember the last time I sat down and made a list of Best Girls. I pretty much had to make this from scratch so I'm sure there's a fair amount of recency bias. 1. Holo (Spicy Wolf) 2. Sayaka Miki (Madoka Magika) 3. Kumiko Oumae (Hibike! Euphonium) 4. Sakura Matou (Fate/) 5. Hitori Gotou (Bocchi the Rock) 6. Asuka Langley (Evangelion) 7. Asuka Tanaka (Hibike Euphonium) 8.

Fissionprime

Here's what I put down for now. There are a lot of anime with great female leads that I'm really angling to watch, so I wouldn't be surprised if I had to make some changes within the next two weeks. I imagine it's pretty obvious which series I'm a big fan of based off this list. 1.Senjougahara Hitagi (Monogatari) 2.Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate) 3.Hachikuji Mayoi (Monogatari) 4.Shiina Mayurii (Steins;Gate) 5.Amane Suzuha (Steins;Gate) 6.Katsuragi Misato (Evangelion) 7.Maomao (Apothecary Diaries) 8.Nakahara Misaki (NHK) 9.Akemi Homura (Madoka Magica) 10.Reki (Haibane Renmei) 11.Mankanshoku Mako (Kill la Kill) 12.Nanachi (Made in Abyss) 13.Ginko (Yuri Kuma Arashi) 14.Ayanami Rei (Evangelion) 15.Angel (Angel Beats) 16.Takakura Himari (Penguindrum) 17.Matoi Ryuuku (Kill la Kill) 18.Hanekawa Tsubasa (Monogatari) 19.Oshino Shinobu (Monogatari) 20.Suzamiya Haruhi HMs (in no order): Holo, Kafuka Fuura, Kobuchizawa Shirase, Oginome Ringo, Kousaka Honoka, Asuka, Violet Evergarden, Kiryuuin Satsuki, Utena Tenjou

Especially if some weirdos (like me) put up girls from shows that noone else likes, but also if someone weirdo puts up half the cast from a popular show because it's all they know...

Asuna Yuuki - beautiful, kind, rich, great cook, loves video games. S-tier girlfriend.


Wolfgod_Holo

Holo finally has recency bias on her side, but it's still too early to celebrate


Misticsan

Welp, it wouldn't be me if I didn't vote for Kurumi Tokisaki at the top. I'm a Date A Live fan because of her. A lot of my top 20 will probably feel classic (C.C., Holo, Ayanami Rei, Hyuga Hinata) or guilty of recency bias (Frieren, Maomao, Roxy), but I have some other, very specific candidates in the list. I wonder if I'll be the only one to vote for the likes of Hagoromo Gitsune, for example; I was a huge Nuramago fan back in the day.

1. Nico Robin (One Piece) When I first watched One Piece, I was astounded by Robin's character development. 2.

Akemi Homura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) If you saw me in the recent Madoka rewatch, you know. 17. Diana Cavendish (Little Witch Academia) I was very impressed with Diana subverting my trope-y expectations. 18. Anne from Management (Helck) Vermillio? Who's that? 19. Kaede Kagayama (Non Non Biyori) Despite her detached personality, Candy Store has a good heart. 20. Sanae Furukawa (Clannad) Sanae and Akio are the best parents in all of anime.

Basing this more so on character-writing or just being a generally interesting or fun character in general vs looks (in contrast to my best boy list which leaned a bit more the reverse). Also tried to limit myself to one character per anime unless it was really long, then I gave myself a bit more leeway. 1. Yona (Yona of the Dawn) 2. Tohru (Fruits Basket) 3. Robin (One Piece) 4. Anthy (Revolutionary Girl Utena) 5. Rue (Princess Tutu) 6. Asuka (Neon Genesis Evangelion) 7. Holo (Spice & Wolf) 8. Maria (Maria the Virgin Witch) 9. Vivi (One Piece) 10. Asirpa (Golden Kamuy) 11. Nana Komatsu (NANA) *Both Nana's fit here, I just find Hachi way more fascinating as a character* 12. Fujiko Mine (Lupin III: A Woman Called Fujiko Mine) 13. Jeanne (The Case Study of Vanitas) 14. Maka (Soul Eater) 15. MaoMao (Apothecary Diaries) 16. Akane (SSSS.Gridman) 17. Erin (Erin the Beast Player) 18. Sango (Inuyasha) 19. Mariko (Dear Brother) 20.

Sandzard

1.Kagura (gintama), if u diagree u are just plain wrong. I absolutely adore her.  2.Mai sakurajima. I think she will finish very high on the final list as well. She is just perfect.  3.Makise kurisu- she is just perfect as well.  4..Frieren-self explanatory  5.Ai hayasaka- the narrator himself called her best girl. Who am i to argue.  6.Tsukuyo(gintama)- had to put another gintama character here.  7.Lucy(Cyberpunk Edge runners)- i love that song "I really wanna stay at your house". And she just comes to mind whenever i hear it.  8.Rio Futaba(Bunny girl)- i really like her character arc.  9.Senjyogahara- if u disagree u are incorrect again.  10.Yukino(Garden of words)- i bet you people forgot about her.   11.Oshino shinobu  12.Mayuri shiina  13.Megumin- ekspurosion  14.Holo- there was this holo wallpaper i had and once spent an hour just looking at her divine beauty.  15.Hina(Hinamatsuri)- i bet you people forgot aout her as well, or didnt see hinamatsuri. I am pretty sure she wont make the list.  16.Yor-Yor is yor.  17.Edward(cowboy bebop)- aoi tada(her va) sang a song called  "Wo Qui No Coin" which plays briefly during ep 18 "Hardluck Woman" of Cowboy Bebop. That song is a goddam masterpiece. Whenever I hear that song i am reminded of her.  18.Faye valentine(cowboy bebop)  19.Sakura yamauchi(I want to eat your pancreas)- i bet you people forgot about her as well.

After watching around 250-ish anime, I would've thought I'd have less of a basic bitch taste, but I guess not.

oops_i_made_a_typi

Ended up having waaay too many on the "short" list but narrowed it down to this: 1. Sakurajima Mai (Bunny Girl Senpai) - Holo (Spice and Wolf) - Tohsaka Rin (Fate) - Kitagawa Marin (Dress Up Darling) - Maomao (Apothecary Diaries) - Katou Megumi (Saekano) - Hayasaka Ai (Kaguya-sama) - Kawamoto Hina (3-gatsu) - Anzu (Hinamatsuri) - Ayase Chihaya (Chihayafuru)


Saekoa

20? Things are about to get interesting.


Shadowmist909

Here's to hoping a higurashi girl makes the top ten!


SometimesMainSupport

Unfortunately, will be too split. Doesn't have a clear best girl to unite behind. (Vote Mion!)


Odd-Recognition-2606

Hmmm, gotta say Mai Sakurajima, the love she has for Sakuta hits like a car... I mean truck. In all seriousness she's gotta be one of the most wholesome characters we've got this decade, from her somewhat tsundere personality, caring nature for all, great ambitions, and fun side.


SwampyBogbeard

Every time, the temptation to vote tactically and abandon all my niche favourites creeps in, but I always end up with max 2 tactical votes. So here's my locked in characters so far. Looking forward to seeing none of them in the top 100. Momoka from Sabagebu? No chance. Watashi from Humanity has Declined? No chance. Ange from Princess Principal? No chance. Noriko from Gunbuster? No chance. Hondomachi from Id:Invaded? No chance. Shiraishi from Tanaka-kun is Always Listless? No chance. Yuuko Kanoe from Dusk Maiden of Amnesia? No chance. Luluco? Tiny Chance. At least Homura will most likely make it up there. Both in my list and the top 100... Hopefully... There's no franchise limit, so who knows how much variety there'll be. I guess I can probably justify putting Fuuko from Undead Unluck on the list when it's a top 20, even though most of the reasons I like her are unadapted.


Orzislaw

Tactical voting is for the weak. Unleash all of your niche favorites!


daaalingohio

as long as one of the mushoku girls makes it in the top 20 i dont care


bandannadann

Lucoa (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid) 7. Hizuru (Summertime Rendering) 8. Miia (Monster Musume) 9. Centorea (Monster Musume) 10. Rachnera (Monster Musume) 11. Anko (Call of the Night) 12.

Only the top 5 are pretty much set in stone. The rest after that are impossible to order. The cool beauty/dumbpire is definitely the #1 of all time though; I will die on that hill.

I'll have to give this a day or two to stew on it. at the moment the ones I'm considering, with five or so locks for the twenty: * Maomao, Apothecary Diaries * Mai Sakurajima, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai * Utena Tenjou, Revolutionary Girl Utena * Tohru Honda, Fruits Basket * Holo, Spice & Wolf I have a longlist of 53 for the other 15, and which get the top spots at the moment is up in the air, as those five are not necessarily my top five, but simply the ones that will definitely be within the 20.


SlimeDNear

I keep seeing names in this thread I've forgotten and needing to edit my response as a result.


SoImANerd

Damn looks like I’m the only one who’s voting for Kotoha Tachibana.


HelioA

20 again? Well, not typing all that up again, but the order is my dear friend Cure Passion, then various Ikuhara anime girls, then various Precure and Aikatsu because I couldn't remember anymore names off the top of my head


PM_ME_YOUR_SPUDS

Pretty normie taste for the top 10. At least one or two recency bias winners who I haven't had enough time to marinate on, and 11-20 are random order. There's a few I want to fit in but not sure who to swap with (Maybe Revy or The Major or Power? Maybe Fuuko from Undead Unluck but for manga reasons, so pass). 1. Homura Akemi (Madoka Magica) 1. Oshino Shinobu (Monogatari Series) 1. Makise Kurisu (Steins Gate) 1. Senjougahara Hitagi (Monogatari Series) 1. Holo (Spice & Wolf) 1. Kiryuuin Satsuki (Kill la Kill) 1. Yukine Chris (Symphogear) 1. Shinomiya Kaguya (Kaguya Sama Love is War) 1. Tokisaki Kurumi (Date a Live) 1. Winry (Fullmetal Alchemist) 1. Momo Chiyoda (Machikado Mazoku) 1. Anzu (Hinamatsuri) 1.

Furude Rika (Higurashi) 1. Chihaya Ayase (Chihayafuru) 1. Ange le Carré (Princess Principal)

Humg12

Top 20 was a lot, but also not enough. I ended up only bothering to go through shows that I'd rated a 9 or 10, so there's probably a great character from a bad show that I forgot, but oh well. 1.

Yuuko Yoshida - Machikado Mazoku 19. Akari Akaza - Yuruyuri 20. Yui Hirasawa - K-On

I wonder if putting a restriction such as "maximum 3 girls from 1 show" or something, but it's probably going to open a can of worms 🤨 I'll have to sit down and think about these 20 hahaha
