“Big onii-chan-tachi, do you know all our names?” All the girls in this extensive comparison image are identified as being 17, or there abouts – it seems nobody can name them all (though being proven wrong may be possible).
If you want to find out who one is, or share same, may I suggest using the notes feature to annotate the image on the Channel.
I was hoping I wouldn’t be able to recognize a lot, but I did. Shame on me.
what’s chika doing there? (kyou no go no ni). She’s supposed to be in grade 5 =/
i don’t see chika there…
Word. Something is amiss there.
agreed : chika is 10/11 and she’s not the only one who isn’t 17
fake as Konata!
Oh! Now I know what the comparison is. Ehm doesn’t seem right tho. Wasn’t Konata 18 for example?
It says 17-”goro”, goro meaning about. It may be a stretch with Chika though, but who’s complaining?
oh i recognize atleast a half of them
Hinamori Amu is not even a teenager yet. >>
Wow that’s a lot. I did what I can labeling from left to right. Maybe someone else can help fill in the holes I left.
some shit there is just wrong
Why is Miku nude and playing a guitar? Not that it bothers me lol
I spy one Konata, Hatsune miku, Louise de la something, Maria, and others i dont know D: My knowledge is not good enough,, I NEED TO TRAIN HARDER!!!
Jeez, I only don’t know 7 of them…
to the right side of long-haired Nagato Yuki, is that Alice Margartoid??
She’s not even human. As a youkai is at least a few hundred years old.
Not to mention humanoid interface Nagato, who can’t be much older than 3 years.
Alice is a Magician, she used to be a Human. SO shes not quite a Youkai. Also apparently her age is unknown but she is quite old.

Hatsune Miku is identified as 16.. not 17. She’s just 16 + 1 year after release though…
And why the hell is she naked omg.
The chart is wrong. I bet it’s a guessing game to guess who’s 17 and who’s not. How is Chika 17 if she’s in Grade 5?
Anyways, I know 20 of them…that’s bad, right?
He did say 17 and thereabout. Naming 20 is like, identifying slightless less than half of the girls. There’s about 43 there. Anybody able to name at least 30? I am only at 10+.
Isnt that one girl from skygirls like 13?
Yes, I think she is.
The line under each character states ‘About 17 yrs old’, which means there might be some discrepancy.
I highly doubt that Amu, Ink and Konata are 17.
Also, putting Vivio is weird, though in her teenage form.
Being able to identify only 26 says that i need to watch more anime. *sigh*
Although most otaku ppl think the character Konata ’s about 17-18 yrs, i still got that part of the series as some kind of japanese insider-joke… don think the characters really are supposed to be in their 17es… in some part of the series they talked about one got her first menstruation… which girls usually get at age 11-12.
As far as for Ink though…. 17歳で高校3年生の受験生だが、見た目はまるで小学生。身長は140cmに届かず、まさに幼児体型。

I could recognize 26 girls from which I knew what anime/Japanese pop-culture series they were from. Placing a name with every face is a bit more difficult for me, however.
What strikes me is that all but 2 of the girls I recognize are from series less than 4 years old, many of which I didn’t even follow. Really goes to show how much BitTorrent and the Internet blogging culture has changed the landscape of the anime community.
Where’s Kikuko Inoue? How can you have a collection of 17-year-olds without “Miss Juu-nana-sai Desu”?
This.
I agree. More Kikuko-chan!
Took the words outta my mouth.
Also needs Midori.
Especially because it *already has* Maria, whose status as being 17 also gets questioned in-universe. And is also doubtful.
Um, how do I even ADD notes? I don’t see an option.
Unintuitively enough they’re also called “Translations” - I think I may fix that up…
I recognize 16 of them. Why does nagato yuki have badly shooped long hair and she’s not even 17. I remember that Ranka didn’t turn 17 in the show either.
I only recognized 12. What’s that make my perv ranking?
Yuno from Hidamari Sketch is also younger than 17. she’s supposed first year in high school, meaning 15.
I recongnize and name 31 of them. Do I win them?
