Influenced by a couple older entries on MoeMoe Rabu, I decided to do something similar.

I'm going to make two lists of anime females. The first list, the Yellow Rose, is characters I adore but wouldn't call a waifu. The second list, the Red Rose, is characters who I would call my waifu.

The top five of the Red Rose are the ones I'd like to get to know really well. Other than those five, though, the order of either list is meaningless.

I gave the list a cut off of being made/aired no longer than five years ago to make my choices easier. Some older characters made it in anyway, because they're exceptionally amazing.

(Also, if the tables are horribly stretched for you.. use the Icy theme.)

Yellow Rose

12) Air - Kano

Image

11) Aoi Hana - Yasuko

Image

10) Da Capo II - Yume

Image

9) Darker Than Black - Havoc

Image

8) Haibane Renmei - Reki

Image

7) HanaKimi - Mizuki

Image

6) Jigoku Shoujo - Enma Ai

Image

5) Kare Kano - Yukino

Image

4) Hitsuji no Uta - Chizuna

Image

3) Nana - Miu

Image

2) Toaru Kagaku no Railgun - Ruiko

Image

1) School Days - Setsuna

Image



Red Rose

12) Shion no Ou - Shion

Image

11) Kanon - Shiori

Image

10) EF - Chihiro

Image

9) Little Busters - Komari

Image

8) Maria Holic - Kanako

Image

7) Nijuu Mensou no Musume - Chiko

Image

6) Kara no Kyoukai - Shiki

Image

5) Clannad - Ryou

Image

4) Kimi ni Todoke - Yano

Image

3) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Rena

Image

2) Honey and Clover - Rika

Image

1) Bounen no Xam'd - Nakiami

Image

Aaand that's it. I very much invite all of you to point out patterns in my choices (whether to make fun or not) because I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what it is I look for in my anime girls. >_>

(To be honest, though, I'm starting to think I have a preference for "damaged goods" type characters. Either I'm a terrible person, or that's the protective male in me showing itself. Who knows.)

Also, make your own lists! ^____^

Sadly, I know jack squat about anime. If I did, this list would probably be quite titillating.

But, the "damaged goods" thing really isn't uncommon. People who've suffered physical and or psychological trauma can elicit all kinds of feelings in others that a "normal" person couldn't. It's like when you see a hurt puppy - you just want to hold it gently, make it feel better, and show it that the world isn't quite so cruel as it may think. Of course, then you have people that purposely take on the role of someone who is sick or suffering just to take advantage of this "Hurt Puppy" phenomenon. The medical terms are "Malingering" & "Factitious Disorder". Umm... Yeah...

So, nice list; sorry I can't appreciate it better.

Hooray for Shiori and Yume. ^_^ The level of cuteness overpowers SK.



But, I must ask, Stythe, what's up with including Rena and Shiki in a list like this? Not that i know them, but they look kinda ... scary, you know?

I mean, I don't know what "waifu" means, but I imagine this is still basically a list of anigirls you might wish existed in reality for obvious reasons, so that is why I must question the inclusion of a girl holding a lethal weapon and smiling wickedly, and another whose face is stained with blood that likely does not belong to her. Forgive me for being so blunt.


As for your last question, though, I'd like to think it is because you are the protective male type, not an ***-hole.

Just say it with as heavy japanese accent as possible. It's engrish for "wife."

Well, I could have used super cute images of them, too. But I wanted to include some images that explored other aspects of the characters, rather than have just one of the extremes.

I mean, I could have used all super cute. Or all super scary. A mix is nice.

Without some context, though, it's hard to get any idea who any of these characters are. You probably wouldn't guess that some of them are mute, dying of heart problems, are self mutilators, have multiple personalities, are heavily scarred from accidents in the past etcetc from the images I provided.

So, I wanted to give that context for at least a couple of them. Ended up going with Shiki and Rena.

I'll say it again: "Hurt Puppy" phenomenon. :crazy

Risa's face is quite pleasant, as you have mentioned, Ix. Quite lovely to just stare at all day.

... And Chi rocks.

The way Chi says "Hideki..."

So cute, indeed. I'll compose a list later.

I'm pretty much including girls from both anime and video games so long as they are drawn in the anime style.

All right, here is the "red rose" group for SK ^_^ ->

1. Luna - Lunar: Silver Star Story ->
Image
... Now this is saying something; Luna has reigned as the foremost goddess in anime or video games ever since I first played Lunar:SSS over ten years ago, completely uncontested. Maybe it's the blue hair, but somehow I imagine kissing Luna tastes sort of like Mountain Dew Voltage. ... If you didn't know, I pretty much drool over Mountain Dew voltage to the same degree that Kel Kimble is hard-up for orange soda.

2. Mia - Lunar: Silver Star Story ->
Image
... I think it's obvious why. ^_-
(That was for you, Syn; for once you come up with a good point.)

3. Sakura - Tsubasa Chronicle ->
Image
Because she's a princess. It's that simple.

4. Rena - Star Ocean: The Second Story ->
Image
She is the textbook definition of cute.

5. Minako - Sailor Moon ->
Image

6. Fuu Hououji - Rayearth ->
Image

7. Kanu - Koihime Musou ->
Image
I do not know this anime, but seeing as Guan Yu has become my favorite character as I am reading through Romance of the three Kingdoms, and Kanu's character is supposedly modeled after his, and the fact that she is clearly cute has proven enough to make me a fan already.

8. Lieza - Arc the Lad ->
Image
Cute, sweet, and you just cannot help but want to protect her.

9. Minato - Akane iro blah-blah-blah-whatever-it's-unnecessarily-called ->
Image
Okay, this anime was pretty stupid, but, you know what? I don't care; if she were my sister, I would still fall in love with her, anyway, too.

10. Mikuru - Haruhi Suzumiya ->
Image
Aside from Rena, the textbook definition of CUTE.




Lina's pretty cool, too, Ix. I just hate Gourry because he's so retarded, that's all.


I love me some Belldandy, too. ^_^

The anime for Koihime was pretty... terrible.

Nice to see a healthy mix of old and new from these last few lists, though. I salute you all for actually going through that much time worth of material to choose from.
