No shit.
Senjougahara and Biribiri getting upstaged by that nobody from Seitokai no Ichizon and that Saki girl?
Stupid Megami. And where in my Yomi, Revy and Rei.
But i guess they vote what is in fashion lately and moe things.
however long it took them to forget Clannad. what should be noted is that Nanoha and Fate are still there and they're veterans from what....2002 or so? Mio will be used, abused, and then forgotten just like all the other KyoAni characters. Nanoha and Fate are eternal and that's fine in my book.
i'm just saying, anything that falls into the clutches of KyoAni will be moefied and the fad at the time which will be completely forgotten by the next KyoAni production. don't get me wrong, Key's tragedies are top of the line stuff....it just sucks that it falls prey to the overstuffed moe madness.
the sadistic tragedies of Key already befell me so....too late
I think satan will be driving to work in a snowplough. Hell feezing over is the only explaination for Hitagi scoring so low and a unforgivable lack of Tsubasa or Mugi.
I'm really sick of moe. It's used so often I can barely look at it much less watch the awful and generic story lines that the moe animation is usually attached to.
I hope that this ranking isn't labeled "of all times" because in that case, it would fail miserably. If it's just about recent shows, I guess it's alright.
Well shows what the current popular opinions is. And in those regards its very accurate. As far 2009 goes. But since it is titled without a time frame in mind it leads one to think that it should be an all time top ten and in that it fails to show truth.
Personally I quit subscribing to Megami even though its worth the overseas subscription for that art. All of soon becomes available in the form of scans anyway, which take up less physical space in the form of hard drives leaving more room space for true otaku items, figures.
Hinagiku is a good choice (Hell, ANY female char except Nagi from HnG woulda been a good choice to me. Though I'm mildly surprised Isumi didn't make the cut...)
I can't comment on Horo, as I haven't watched that series, but judging from Sankaku articles, she's fairly popular (both in the US and JPN).
Seitokai...How the hell did this show up already? While it worth a couple laughs, it's hardly worth a mention on a Top Ten list (but for the record, I woulda prefer Chizuru over Kurimu).
Nanoha's Chars are still alive...I love them, but didn't expect to see a showing here (StrikerS sucked compared to S1 and A's, plus it's been a while since the last airing.) Then again, as another poster mentioned, Megami does do A LOT with Nanoha, especially with the Movie coming out in Jan.
No surprise with Mikoto..Though way is is so low in the rankings?
Nodoka? I woulda expected Koromo over Nodoka at least (Boobs win in this case of Loli-DFC vs Oppai..)
And Hitagi's rank is atrocious! I was expecting her in the Top 5 at least, if not Top 3! To be outranked by Seitokai is a shame...
Overall though, I can agree with the list (with Seitokai as an exception). I don't readily agree with the actual ranks though. But at least we know what popular at this time. d^_~
Hurray for Hinagiku !
Although I would've imagined her in a better place than "mere 4th"
the rest was fairly predictable, especially the usual invasion of K-on even though i'm not the one to complain about that...
It's mainly cause Alice has only 2 modes, Queen Bitch mode and slightly angsty psudo-teenager.
...she still deserves a place if only for mode 1. I'm more unhappy at the lack of decent rule34 for her and the rest of the female cast of Pandora Hearts :(
Of course, her tsundere side was the huge draw of her character while her soft side wasn't really that good; if I want the soft type girl, I would go for the pseudo yandere Sharon Onee-sama :3
I agree, need more rule 34 of Sharon, Alice, Echo, Eida (loli or busty, both are fine) as well as Lottie.
K-on is too much,I think Senjougahara rank is low and she should deserve a higher rank and there should be more characters from Saki like Tacos and Hajime
You obviously didn't watch Saki. If your reason would go something along the lines of "I dun kno how to pley Majong lolz", then you're missing out much on the show.
But, oddly, Koromo should've been there. I guess Megami likes Big Breasts. :<
Moe blobs are all the same. They all just broke off from one main blob like amoeba and grew into this menace. I'm sick of all of them. Only like 5% of "moe" characters are actually deep enough to be their own unique character. The rest are just made to look nice, hog popularity, and be fap napkins.
Seitokai no Ichizon doesn't even make top 10 best fall anime yet someone from it beats the likes of BiriBiri and Senjougahara, makes no sense to me. Glad to see Horo in there though.
I have no idea how Kurumu from Seitokai got into that list. Seitokai, although not that bad of a show is just Lucky Star with less substances and more otaku references. Characters like Kiragi and Konata are much more interesting "otaku" characters thank Kurumu.
Apart from that, I can understand why the other characters are in it. Never watched Saki myself, but I do know its popular. Same deal with Mikoto - seen part of Index, haven't started Railgun.
Personally, the only two characters from that list that I like are Horo and Senjougahara because they they are playful, teaseful, witty and funny.
Characters that I don't like are Mio, Yui and Kurumu because they are just moeblob with no other redeeming qualities.
Why did someone have to make this article it's just another crappy list from a crappy magazine no one cares about. Just ignore this list people, it won't bother you if you leave it alone.
When has anyone ever called her anything else? It's useful anyway because it distinguishes her from her clones. Well, you could always look up her skirt =p
Shurei from Saiunkoku Monogatari would kick most of these girl assess and all the other suggestion on the comments... heck, a lot of girls from shoujo/josei category is better in terms of depth.... But complaining about whether your favorite isn't in the list or isn't high enough thus make the ranking invalid is stupid. People just have to acknowledge that there are others with different taste than you. Obviously from the list people should know that moe rates high on the list... the fact that Hitagi and Horo can make into the top 10 is commendable. Would I like to see Horo and Hitagi higher? of course! but the list itself is fine the way it is (barring any cheating of course).
Kurimu inclusion is kinda surprising though, not because she didn't deserve it (considering the audience) but more because it's from a completely new anime compared to other characters on the list.
Btw, no Halloween post? at least something related to Halloween? like some image gallery with scary anime characters? cute vampires?
I see people are still bashing K-On! and the likes, and I still can't understand why does it bother others so much that they are ranked higher on lists. This simply shows what the majority of people (who were asked) like, and it's not like it has anything to do with your personal likes. People raging over the list are immature, and I think they know why.
If something has a high place on a list, it probably deserves to be there (in some way).
Btw, I haven't seen polls on Sankaku for some time now, did it go out of fashion, or did something happened that prevents it?
Wow and not a single male character on there. Actually I'm just kidding, no surprise at all really since that's how otaku work. I doubt the thought of nominating a male character even crossed a single readers mind once as a viable concept.
Ah, of course there would be moe moe Mio and that other ditzy stupid girl from K-ON! I mean, who wouldn't love girls who just radiate moe from every angle that gets shoved in the viewers faces and down their throats. MOE~, stupid girls doing stupid things, MOE~. Tee hee~
Any list for top characters is void. Everyone has different tastes, and I think it's obvious what Megami's taste is. This shouldn't be called a top 10 anime characters list, it should just be called Megami's top 10 favorite anime characters.
I have to say this is the most disappointing list I’ve seen! Nothing wrong with K-ON! on the top, to be honest I expected it, but DEFINITELY NOT over Hitagi! In fact, as much love as I have for Mio and Yui I would not have put them above Hitagi or Horo.
I’ve never really been a fan of Nanoha or Fate so I wouldn’t have put them anywhere near the list. And if this list really is only for 2009 then I’d leave Hinagiku and Saki on there, bump BiriBiri up a lot, drop Kurimu Sakurano, add Mugi, Ritsu, and Saki Morimi and call it a day.
>>I’ve never really been a fan of Nanoha or Fate so I wouldn’t have put them anywhere near the list. And if this list really is only for 2009 then I’d leave Hinagiku and Saki on there, bump BiriBiri up a lot, drop Kurimu Sakurano, add Mugi, Ritsu, and Saki Morimi and call it a day.
Anyone who claims this is a strictly 2009 poll, clearly hasn't watched Nanoha. Unless they're dumb as bricks. Your choice.
I haven’t watched Nanoha, so I don’t know or care when it came out, you can hardly call someone dumb simply because they don’t know something they don’t know.
And as far as this being a strictly 2009 poll, well those are just words you put in my mouth. I said IF this poll was for 2009 since everything on here is from 2009 with the apparent exception of Nanoha. After reading several posts with comments saying this is/IF this were a 2009 poll, so I simply adjusted the list to my likings based off whichever characters came out in 2009 I thought were the best.
Jumping the gun and being too eager to troll on whatever post you disagree with without properly reading it first is far dumber than any brink I can imagine.
That wasn't the point. You're trying to justify Fate and Nanoha shouldn't be on the list, when you don't even know them. Watch first, then come to a conclusion. Have you watched already watched and were wondering if this was a strictly 2009 poll, then you would be dumb as bricks. As I'de imagine you'de know the the most recent series came out in 2007.
I already said I haven’t watched Nanoha, if you’re going to comment on my post at least read it first. I wasn’t trying to justify that Fate and Nanoha shouldn’t be on the list; I simply made a comment saying that I wouldn’t have put them on the list, it ended at that. You don’t have to watch a whole series or know everything about a series to know about a character from the series. I’m familiar with the characters Fate and Nanoha but as far as 2D designs or personality go I wasn’t really sold. They’re cute no doubt, but just averagely cute, and it’ll take a lot more than just being averagely cute to make a top 10 list in my book.
And since I haven’t watched the series Nanoha or kept up on it for that matter I had no idea when the last season came out. It could’ve been 2009, so I hypothetically said that if this were a 2009 poll (dot, dot, dot) and then went on with my version of the list including my favorite characters from 2009, whether or not Nanoha came out in 2009 didn’t matter. My reason for excluding them wasn’t “justified” by claiming this to be a “strictly 2009 poll” that's just something you made up.
I'm glad that Fate and Nanoha are still so popular even after their shows have been out of spotlight for so long. Other than those two, every other one in the top 10 is from a new(er) show.
No, your first post did not mention whether or not you watched Nanoha. Your second did, but my first post wasn't directed towards your second. Neither was my second, for that matter.
>> I have to say this is the most disappointing list I’ve seen! I’ve never really been a fan of Nanoha or Fate so I wouldn’t have put them anywhere near the list.
^That is mainly what I was commenting on. Perhaps It's the most disappointing because you don't know some of the characters, eh?
Assuming a characters worth based on their appearance, doesn't work on a favorite character poll. They don't have a large following for nothing, especially when they don't even come from a massively popular series like most other characters on that list. You wouldn't understand what people like about them until you watch the series for itself.
I know my first post didn’t say whether or not I watched Nanoha but that didn’t stop you from misreading it and making false accusations. And now that you’ve brought it to everyone’s attention that my original post was the subject of all you posts, can you explain why it is you assumed I had never seen Nanoha just because I didn’t like the characters? And don’t say that I claimed the list to be “strictly 2009” so therefore I hadn’t seen it or would have known that Nanoha didn’t come out in 2009 because all my other posts already explained how you made that up.

And I don’t want you to re-post this claiming had I seen the show I would like the characters. Like it’s impossible for characters with such a large fanbase to have at least one person not agree. How many trolls do you see around here calling people Mio-fags when Mio has been at the top of most character polls since spring? I have nothing against the characters they’re just not anywhere near my favorite characters from anime. And I think I’ve seen and heard enough about the characters to make a proper judgment, I mean I am the one who decides who and what I like after all.

Aside from accidentally double clicking the post button I don’t see how this happened, least of all it being re-posted almost an hour later! This site seriously needs to get fixed.
rofl, you claim I'm missing the point when you, yourself are too geared to thinking I claimed you said all series were from 2009. That's not true. What I said, was you would know that every series was not from 2009 had you watched Nanoha. Your claims on the list being terrible sounded as if you knew all the character, and that's what lead me to assume you watched Nanoha.
True, you're free to make any choice you want, but that doesn't make them right. Sorry, if you did not watch the series, then you can't make a fair assessment of the character. Like it or not, It's true. They're not anywhere near your favorite character because you don't know them, not because they don't appeal to you. However, if you had some facts about the characters via. watching the series, and came to the same conclusion, I would have absolutely no problem with your opinion. But as it stands, I think It's a joke to not like a character based on the few things you know about them. How can you say you "know" their personality, when you don't even know the series.
And I forgot to make one more thing clear. I didn't comment just because you assumed the list might be strictly 2009, but it was because you mentioned disliking Nanoha and Fate, while stating this list could be 2009. Thus my 'dumb as bricks' comment came in, because at that point it really sounded like you knew them and didn't like their character, all while thinking the list might be 2009.
My original post didn’t say either way whether I had watched Nanoha or not, yet you came to the conclusion that I hadn’t by claiming I thought the list be a 2009 only list. Although it’s true that hadn’t seen it at the time of posting (or even now for that matter) it doesn’t change the fact that you made false assumptions.
>> rofl, you claim I'm missing the point when you, yourself are too geared to thinking I claimed you said all series were from 2009.
Hold on…
>> Anyone who claims this is a strictly 2009 poll, clearly hasn't watched Nanoha. Unless they're dumb as bricks. Your choice.
It might just be me but you pretty heavily implied that I claimed this list to be strictly 2009. *shrugs*
Oh and…
>>…it was because you mentioned disliking Nanoha and Fate, while stating this list could be 2009.
I didn’t even say the list “could be” I simply didn’t feel like prioritizing ALL of my favorite anime characters, so I thought I’d make it easier on myself by narrowing it down to just the ones of 2009, since most of the list was 2009 and I did agree with most of the characters on there just not the position they were in. So that’s when I made the mistake of saying “IF” this were a 2009 list, as in hypothetically making this list 2009, as in not really but let’s make it one anyways, as in my list with my favorite characters on it now.
As a closing comment: I have read many blogs, reviews, and comments regarding Nanoha when it was out and stuff, I even seen small clips and AMVs. But nothing that I saw or read really compelled me to go watch a whole episode. I felt I knew enough about the show and characters to determine if I wanted to watch an episode or not. A few times in the past I had gotten into an anime simply because I read a review or blog and decided to follow up with YouTube videos. Elfen Lied, Elemental Gelade, When They Cry, Shana, these are all show I knew nothing about prior to Googleing. And after reading about the shows I decided to put them on my Netflix queue, I now own them all. It’s just a way that works for me and nobody else has to like it.
In my honest opinion, disliking a character before you get to know them totally lacks reason. Knowing them through other peoples opinion and the few AMV's you watched doesn't cut it. Whether or not the anime appeals to you should have no barring on the characters to begin with, not that you'de truly know whether or not it lacks appeal for you until you give it a chance. You gave the characters, and the series zero chance. Unless you're appaled my magical girls, I honestly don't see what you find appealing to the series you mentioned, that is lacking in the Nanoha series. You clearly enjoy action, and the second season has more action in it to put most series to shame. And perhaps you didn't watch well made amv's. Give "Lyrical on Fire" and "Ressonance" a try. I honestly don't give a crap whether or not you watch it, however, It's really annoying to hear "so and so" is crap when you never did experience the series or It's characters for yourself.

Senjougahara is 10th!?
Horo is a mere 7th!?
An outrage I say!
On another note.
Mio being 1st was obvious.
No, Hitagi should come first.
no way that unknown bitch can beat queen mio.
Word
09:04 +1
09:51 -1
10:01 -1
Senjougahara GODDESS!
Horo should have been #1 and Hitaki should have been #2! GOD DAMN POLL!
Not even a mention of my dear moetrice? D:
This Nodoka Haramura pose need Nude Filter!!!!
This list obviously fails on many levels, the first of which being that Mio is in Yui's spot and Hinagiku needs to be replaced with Nagi.
Haramura Nodoka and pantsu? BLASPHEMY!
Hitagi should come in first following by misaka mikoto. Nodoka shouldnt be here, she's just boobs, i would rather have mihoko^^
in addition, the loli president from seitokai no ichizon should be replaced by Chizuru! or at least Mifuyu x.x
Megami Magazine,
I am disappoint.
agreed, my vote woulda gone to numbers 9 and 2
I agree, the list kinda sucks. Even if it was limited to 2009 characters, it still sucks.
Somebody Combo Break these mutha fuckers, please?
No shit.
Senjougahara and Biribiri getting upstaged by that nobody from Seitokai no Ichizon and that Saki girl?
Stupid Megami. And where in my Yomi, Revy and Rei.
But i guess they vote what is in fashion lately and moe things.
Too much moe blob. I never understood what was so super about Mio and Yui.
I am saddened as well. Senjougahara will always be #1 in my heart, or at least until I find someone better.
LOLOLOLOL I'm so glad the penis-leg Biribiri got owned by a nobody LOLOLOLOLOL
Moe blob is obviously ruining the anime QUARITY!
Senjougahara should be in the top!
I know none of these people.
And I agree, can't stand moe.
Senjougahara for Prime Ministeress of Japan!
anso... shame about the proportion fail on her lower legs in that drawing. She has like... an extra 8 inches of lower leg.
Agreed, I believe Spice & Wolf is the best show there (that I have watched). Also, I think it's as Artefact said, this person just loves moe.
i couldn't agree more.
Megami is obviously moe faggots
agreed.
the whole thing's not right!
sure is different from the saimoe results...
Saimoe is at least as bad, if not worse then this. Saipopularity more like.
Where did Kannagi, Taiga go? >.<
Taiga should definetly be on that list, well either Taigo or Shakugan no Shana
Horo should be a lot higher and so should Senjogahara
they went back in time. say, 2008.
Agreed!...I believe most of these numbers but Horo should atleast be top 5. I'd have someone from Haruhi would have a place.
Haruhi? No way
Enough of Haruhi, PLEASE!
She doesn't deserve anything for looping the same scenario for 8 times...
But i blame kadokawa..
seriously!!!wtf
Of course Megami is totally wrong and incorrect
....for not publishing a localized version of their mag with all posters intact.
Wtf? K-ON! rape? They should be a bit lower.
Ritsu is better then Mio & Yui combined.
Hard Gay is better than Ritsu & Mugi combined.
cancer and aids combined is better than mio
Sure.. It's all yours buddy... While I take Mio. :)
Mio has Aids and Cancer thats why shes on top of the list
Yui is awesome, and is better than Ritsu and Mio, but Mugi is number 1 for me
Lolis are better than my fist and Anus Chan's face combined.
I am the cheese! I am the best character on this show! I am better than both the salami and the bologna combined!
Is this a top 10 female character list, or a top 10 anime character list where female characters have utterly raped the rankings?
The magazine is called "megami". Take a wild guess. :p
TL note: megami means goddess.
Logical leap note: for those unfamiliar with the rag, "megami" could be a reference either to its material or to the magazine's target demographic.
Japan is still crazy over Nanoha, even though the third season was terrible. Actually it seems to me that only Megami cares about Nanoha.
Yeah well I'm too still crazy over Nanoha xD
Fate better than Nanoha?
the third season was the shit
Those Bias idiots only care about the moe.
Wait, there are other criteria than moe?
Yes, we should care about mako's penis MOAR!!!
Nanoha was ranked lower than Fate?
Someone should be shot.
its a fact. ppl love fate more than nanoha
Surprised Haruhi isn't on there...
Even if you get over the science fiction aspects, she's not a particularly
good moeblob.
More like ppl no more like naggy b*tches.
is looks like 2nd season killed haruhi.
So, how long until everyone has forgotten K-on?
however long it took them to forget Clannad. what should be noted is that Nanoha and Fate are still there and they're veterans from what....2002 or so? Mio will be used, abused, and then forgotten just like all the other KyoAni characters. Nanoha and Fate are eternal and that's fine in my book.
What faggotry is this? Scaling Clannad with some moe-blob anime?!
May key's sadistic tragedies befell on you Anon!
i'm just saying, anything that falls into the clutches of KyoAni will be moefied and the fad at the time which will be completely forgotten by the next KyoAni production. don't get me wrong, Key's tragedies are top of the line stuff....it just sucks that it falls prey to the overstuffed moe madness.
the sadistic tragedies of Key already befell me so....too late
Hmmm...
This Anon rounded off his thoughts clearly, and now knows what he's saying.
I approve of your train of thought. May you find your salvation through those tragedies, as in all key's works.
> As expected of Megami, the “moe blob” factor is exceedingly pronounced…
Doesn't Artefact have a thing for Jun-kun? That's hypocrisy.
Mio being there is ok, being #1 is preductable but Nodoka, Horo Fate and Nanoha are better for me.
I think satan will be driving to work in a snowplough. Hell feezing over is the only explaination for Hitagi scoring so low and a unforgivable lack of Tsubasa or Mugi.
"..lack of Tsubasa or Mugi."
I share your despair, bro. Gotta blame the anime too for giving them both the exact low pathetic amount of screentime.
Where the hell is Nagisa... Tomoya... the Clannad cast?
Damn...
Blasphemy I say!
Cheers;
Niker
Are you talking about those strange moe things that look like Aliens?
Or those strange alien things that look like moe?
I'm really sick of moe. It's used so often I can barely look at it much less watch the awful and generic story lines that the moe animation is usually attached to.
Senjougahara is 1, the rest is mkay...
Could've guessed Mio & Yui will be on the list.
I was kinda shocked to see both Fate & Nanoha name there (no offense to the fans) but Horo the 7th ? Somethings not right here...
Horo and Yui for the win
Hard Gay for teh motha fucka win
All these animes suck tbh
Woohoo! Fate and nanoha! Lovely pic of fate btw.
:3 nice at least i saw 1 people here that comment about fate and nanoha being in the list
..hehe talk about old character
they still strong :x
There are always older characters in the charts, albeit seldom in the top places.
Belldandy is a nice example, she was in the charts since the 80s.
Fate is the best.
i don't get yui's charm
biribiri and hitagi should score higher
I don't get mio's charm.
But yes, biribiri should have been higher. could care less about hitagi.
Could care less about penis-leg Biribiri
I would rater the list in this order:
1. Hitagi Senjougahara
2. Misaka (Biri Biri)
3. Katsura Hinagiku
Then you can add whomever else afterwards...
That would have been more satisfying for me
I agree with who's on the list (not all though), but not the order.
I don't agree how Biribiri is lower than Aka-chan. Nor with Hitagi being 10th
Mio the slut ftw~
me top 5
1.shana
2.biri biri
3.hitagi
4.nagato yuki
5.nodoka haramura"she is hot and moe"
So I heard you like penis-leg?
I don't see all the love for K-On
kind of how like I never saw all the love for Suzumiya Haruhi.
I hope that this ranking isn't labeled "of all times" because in that case, it would fail miserably. If it's just about recent shows, I guess it's alright.
Hitagi at 10th?
I demand a riot.
Stapler riot
hina chan daisuke!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone cares of gives a shit about that list is too big a nerd/otaku to live
The world doesn't need you
Anyone who doesn't give a shit wouldn't be here in the first place, so STFU and submit to your inner affections, you tsundere.
+1
LOL
well, at least they haven't gone fer the biggest man-boobs poll... ewie
i'm glad my BiriBiri is in that top 10 =)
I'm glad the penis-leg bitch was owned by a nobody =)
A bit disappointed, but oh well ...
I hope this is an 09 list. If its all time megami fucking fails hard.
List is moeblob and shit.
Needs more GAR.
Too bad you don't know anything about no. 5 and no. 10.
Only recently released animes were included.
I can think of a better list without a second thought.
THIS list is bullsh*t!!!
Well shows what the current popular opinions is. And in those regards its very accurate. As far 2009 goes. But since it is titled without a time frame in mind it leads one to think that it should be an all time top ten and in that it fails to show truth.
Personally I quit subscribing to Megami even though its worth the overseas subscription for that art. All of soon becomes available in the form of scans anyway, which take up less physical space in the form of hard drives leaving more room space for true otaku items, figures.
I stopped reading after seeing #1.
Popularity is a bitch.
yeah... and you're a scum!
See the analogy?
yes, and you're gay.
I see the analogy!
I think that's the 1st list ever posted here I don't agree with any single name on it.
I'm...surprised at this ranking list...
K-On!'s showing was expected with it recent-ness.
Hinagiku is a good choice (Hell, ANY female char except Nagi from HnG woulda been a good choice to me. Though I'm mildly surprised Isumi didn't make the cut...)
I can't comment on Horo, as I haven't watched that series, but judging from Sankaku articles, she's fairly popular (both in the US and JPN).
Seitokai...How the hell did this show up already? While it worth a couple laughs, it's hardly worth a mention on a Top Ten list (but for the record, I woulda prefer Chizuru over Kurimu).
Nanoha's Chars are still alive...I love them, but didn't expect to see a showing here (StrikerS sucked compared to S1 and A's, plus it's been a while since the last airing.) Then again, as another poster mentioned, Megami does do A LOT with Nanoha, especially with the Movie coming out in Jan.
No surprise with Mikoto..Though way is is so low in the rankings?
Nodoka? I woulda expected Koromo over Nodoka at least (Boobs win in this case of Loli-DFC vs Oppai..)
And Hitagi's rank is atrocious! I was expecting her in the Top 5 at least, if not Top 3! To be outranked by Seitokai is a shame...
Overall though, I can agree with the list (with Seitokai as an exception). I don't readily agree with the actual ranks though. But at least we know what popular at this time. d^_~
fix!!!
Ritsu should be no.1!!!!!!
<3 Ritsu
;-; where's my Yomi!
H-I-N-A HINAGIKU!
Hai hai!!!
Hurray for Hinagiku !
Although I would've imagined her in a better place than "mere 4th"
the rest was fairly predictable, especially the usual invasion of K-on even though i'm not the one to complain about that...
horo hitagi and birbiri should be the first 3.
Can't believe Alice of Pandora Hearts is nowhere to be seen there and surprised that Aka-chan made that high.
It's mainly cause Alice has only 2 modes, Queen Bitch mode and slightly angsty psudo-teenager.
...she still deserves a place if only for mode 1. I'm more unhappy at the lack of decent rule34 for her and the rest of the female cast of Pandora Hearts :(
Of course, her tsundere side was the huge draw of her character while her soft side wasn't really that good; if I want the soft type girl, I would go for the pseudo yandere Sharon Onee-sama :3
I agree, need more rule 34 of Sharon, Alice, Echo, Eida (loli or busty, both are fine) as well as Lottie.
Why the hell is Kurimu there? Also, why is Nodoka also there? This makes no sense!
Kurimu = DFC
Nodoka = dai oppai
More than enough reason for these two to be there.
Where the fuck is Aisaka Taiga? I pronounce this top 10 null and void.
She's too mighty too be on the list i guess :3
Yes fate and nanoha is awesome :D
But anyone ever got the feeling that nanoha instead of a girly magical anime.
It was more like muscle mania womens fights agggggggh.
They only needed more muscles but they were just strong girly girls.
HINAGIKU MY WIFE.
of coz she would be listed.
and as expected of senjougahara
K-on is too much,I think Senjougahara rank is low and she should deserve a higher rank and there should be more characters from Saki like Tacos and Hajime
What? Video Girl Ai is not there?! People have no taste!
I think the top 4 girls are just overrated now. Needs some fresh meat.
Motoko Kusanagi will always be number 1 in my heart
(*・▽・)/\(・▽・*)
Woooot
Im happy that Horo made it on the list at all
too sad, none of them are in my top ...
more importantly, why is Saki up there?
hinagiku should be first
Because people are into no-pan yuri
Though, I personally would prefer Koromo over Nodoka
No :U
Yukiji > Hinagiku
You obviously didn't watch Saki. If your reason would go something along the lines of "I dun kno how to pley Majong lolz", then you're missing out much on the show.
But, oddly, Koromo should've been there. I guess Megami likes Big Breasts. :<
To much estrogen in that list. The lack of Hosaka, Masa, Kogarashi, Freddie, and Onizuka is very disappointing.
Pretty shiffy IMO... but then again it's always the bandwagoned char that win these kind of things...
Still, Senjougahara should've been higher up... is Tsundere becoming less popular? Makes you wonder...
List sucks... just like Japan.
Damn... wheres Kenshiro? This list blows.
"As expected of Megami, the “moe blob” factor is exceedingly pronounced…"
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Because it is.
Moe blobs are all the same. They all just broke off from one main blob like amoeba and grew into this menace. I'm sick of all of them. Only like 5% of "moe" characters are actually deep enough to be their own unique character. The rest are just made to look nice, hog popularity, and be fap napkins.
Damn straight!
Seitokai no Ichizon doesn't even make top 10 best fall anime yet someone from it beats the likes of BiriBiri and Senjougahara, makes no sense to me. Glad to see Horo in there though.
Screw. Senjougahara ranking 10th is outrageous.
this list -> bullshit
I have no idea how Kurumu from Seitokai got into that list. Seitokai, although not that bad of a show is just Lucky Star with less substances and more otaku references. Characters like Kiragi and Konata are much more interesting "otaku" characters thank Kurumu.
Apart from that, I can understand why the other characters are in it. Never watched Saki myself, but I do know its popular. Same deal with Mikoto - seen part of Index, haven't started Railgun.
Personally, the only two characters from that list that I like are Horo and Senjougahara because they they are playful, teaseful, witty and funny.
Characters that I don't like are Mio, Yui and Kurumu because they are just moeblob with no other redeeming qualities.
Most of these characters are interchangeable moe, that don't hold a candle to classic characters like Lum, Nadia, etc.
But this is a chart by Megami, not a magazine for last year broads.
Biribiri on 9?...... HITAGI ON 10!! Such an insult.
What the hell is Seitokai doing on that list?
I'd throw that Megami magazine with a 90 degree throw into the trash can, i daresay.
WTF is Yui doing up there...?
Isn't Misaka 13 or something?
WTF Nodoka?!
I didn't even think she was that popular, it must be her melon breast. I personally hate it.
The only one I can really agree with is number 10...
Although I never watched Spice and Wolf, so I can't say for sure about Horo.
"Fate (2nd) and Nanoha (6th)"
"Mio (1st) and Yui (3rd)"
Thats just stupid. I disagree with the list already. But please.. it should 1 character per series.
Not to mention that most of list is just full-blown tsun-tsun, dere-dere, and moe-blob characters.
Horo and Senjougahara are the only reasonable picks on that list.
This whole list is garbage, from garbage Anime shows.
Of course butthurt moe fags would downrate this comment.
hmm.. I don't remember Hinagiku being THAT busty...
Mio's number one 'cause everyone wants ta fuck her...
I thinks Horo is number one 'cause I wants ta fuck her...
Why did someone have to make this article it's just another crappy list from a crappy magazine no one cares about. Just ignore this list people, it won't bother you if you leave it alone.
Everyone > Senjougahara
delicious tears of senjougafags.
taiga should be no.1
Not caring for the rankings, I agree with the list as most of them are characters I like.
Half of the characters on this list are one-dimensional moeblobs. I should've stopped reading when I saw Mio at number 1.
... Where's my favorite Shana...?
And Mio as number 1. Why am I not surprise(Again).
At least Hinagiku is up there.
What? No Gamia-Q?! How shameful!
This K-On craze is getting old, srsly... Hinagiku should be ranked first, if not, higher than where she was actually ranked.
Well, I've been reading Megami, and I'd kinda expected these sort of results should a poll like this ever happen.
Long story short, Megami is just a magazine full of bathing scenes, oppai, close-to-nipple-slip moments, etc.
Is BiriBiri her official name now? xD
When has anyone ever called her anything else? It's useful anyway because it distinguishes her from her clones. Well, you could always look up her skirt =p
It's great to have an excuse to look up someone's skirt.
Or just check her leg to see whether it's penis-shaped or not...
Shurei from Saiunkoku Monogatari would kick most of these girl assess and all the other suggestion on the comments... heck, a lot of girls from shoujo/josei category is better in terms of depth.... But complaining about whether your favorite isn't in the list or isn't high enough thus make the ranking invalid is stupid. People just have to acknowledge that there are others with different taste than you. Obviously from the list people should know that moe rates high on the list... the fact that Hitagi and Horo can make into the top 10 is commendable. Would I like to see Horo and Hitagi higher? of course! but the list itself is fine the way it is (barring any cheating of course).
Kurimu inclusion is kinda surprising though, not because she didn't deserve it (considering the audience) but more because it's from a completely new anime compared to other characters on the list.
Btw, no Halloween post? at least something related to Halloween? like some image gallery with scary anime characters? cute vampires?
yeah Kurimu!
I thought Megami was good and all, but this list now makes Nyantype superior. They will just make their own list from this Top10 upside down.
I don't think anyone will have a problem with that...
Oh no, that'll make Fate 9th... Blasphemy...
FAIL SOME MORE, JAPAN.
i think 1st and 3rd are wrong there, good sir im thinking more on the lines of chizuru as 3rd, and BEATRICE as 1st... she trolls hard...
I see people are still bashing K-On! and the likes, and I still can't understand why does it bother others so much that they are ranked higher on lists. This simply shows what the majority of people (who were asked) like, and it's not like it has anything to do with your personal likes. People raging over the list are immature, and I think they know why.
If something has a high place on a list, it probably deserves to be there (in some way).
Btw, I haven't seen polls on Sankaku for some time now, did it go out of fashion, or did something happened that prevents it?
Wow and not a single male character on there. Actually I'm just kidding, no surprise at all really since that's how otaku work. I doubt the thought of nominating a male character even crossed a single readers mind once as a viable concept.
...
#10 wtf?
Hell yeah Kurimu
You Senjougahara fags sure got told
Looks more like a list of who otaku want as their waifu.
Fate should be #1, HMPH
Ah, of course there would be moe moe Mio and that other ditzy stupid girl from K-ON! I mean, who wouldn't love girls who just radiate moe from every angle that gets shoved in the viewers faces and down their throats. MOE~, stupid girls doing stupid things, MOE~. Tee hee~
no revy, no life
WHERE THE FUCK IS SABER?!
Any list for top characters is void. Everyone has different tastes, and I think it's obvious what Megami's taste is. This shouldn't be called a top 10 anime characters list, it should just be called Megami's top 10 favorite anime characters.
Is this only for recent anime? If so then I can't complain too much, except that Biribiri and Senjougahara should be much higher.
what a crappy list. fail.
Mio FTW!!! hahahaha... Glad she win...
Seems like the "Readers of top character rag Megami Magazine" have never watched anime before 2009. Their loss.
I have to say this is the most disappointing list I’ve seen! Nothing wrong with K-ON! on the top, to be honest I expected it, but DEFINITELY NOT over Hitagi! In fact, as much love as I have for Mio and Yui I would not have put them above Hitagi or Horo.
I’ve never really been a fan of Nanoha or Fate so I wouldn’t have put them anywhere near the list. And if this list really is only for 2009 then I’d leave Hinagiku and Saki on there, bump BiriBiri up a lot, drop Kurimu Sakurano, add Mugi, Ritsu, and Saki Morimi and call it a day.
go mio but onyl cuz shes my fav charater and only chararter i know on that list..
this list makes me lose faith in humanity... except for Horo and Biribiri, I approve of those
this top 10 is bullsh*t
That mio pic is absolutely divine.
>>I’ve never really been a fan of Nanoha or Fate so I wouldn’t have put them anywhere near the list. And if this list really is only for 2009 then I’d leave Hinagiku and Saki on there, bump BiriBiri up a lot, drop Kurimu Sakurano, add Mugi, Ritsu, and Saki Morimi and call it a day.
Anyone who claims this is a strictly 2009 poll, clearly hasn't watched Nanoha. Unless they're dumb as bricks. Your choice.
I haven’t watched Nanoha, so I don’t know or care when it came out, you can hardly call someone dumb simply because they don’t know something they don’t know.
And as far as this being a strictly 2009 poll, well those are just words you put in my mouth. I said IF this poll was for 2009 since everything on here is from 2009 with the apparent exception of Nanoha. After reading several posts with comments saying this is/IF this were a 2009 poll, so I simply adjusted the list to my likings based off whichever characters came out in 2009 I thought were the best.
Jumping the gun and being too eager to troll on whatever post you disagree with without properly reading it first is far dumber than any brink I can imagine.
Raaaage!!!!1111111111
Why is horo not on top?
Criteria list: Tsundere, Kawaii<3, Moe, Fox, sexually obsessed, abusive.
Stupid list! :@
Btw i love hiro from hidamari sketch,she should have been up there in that list.
7 and 2 were thr beast
7 and 2 are the best forgot to log in lol
Why is this list so much different than the results of Saimoe?
@Lord Ryo -
That wasn't the point. You're trying to justify Fate and Nanoha shouldn't be on the list, when you don't even know them. Watch first, then come to a conclusion. Have you watched already watched and were wondering if this was a strictly 2009 poll, then you would be dumb as bricks. As I'de imagine you'de know the the most recent series came out in 2007.
I already said I haven’t watched Nanoha, if you’re going to comment on my post at least read it first. I wasn’t trying to justify that Fate and Nanoha shouldn’t be on the list; I simply made a comment saying that I wouldn’t have put them on the list, it ended at that. You don’t have to watch a whole series or know everything about a series to know about a character from the series. I’m familiar with the characters Fate and Nanoha but as far as 2D designs or personality go I wasn’t really sold. They’re cute no doubt, but just averagely cute, and it’ll take a lot more than just being averagely cute to make a top 10 list in my book.
And since I haven’t watched the series Nanoha or kept up on it for that matter I had no idea when the last season came out. It could’ve been 2009, so I hypothetically said that if this were a 2009 poll (dot, dot, dot) and then went on with my version of the list including my favorite characters from 2009, whether or not Nanoha came out in 2009 didn’t matter. My reason for excluding them wasn’t “justified” by claiming this to be a “strictly 2009 poll” that's just something you made up.
I'm glad that Fate and Nanoha are still so popular even after their shows have been out of spotlight for so long. Other than those two, every other one in the top 10 is from a new(er) show.
Eh, I don't quite relate to this list.
I'm really sick of so many K-ontards. Tsundere-chan must be #1.
Mio and Nodoka. Pure win!
i bet fate and nanoha aren't up there just becouse of anime,but also becouse hentai from fate and nanoha is just awesome.
@Ryo
No, your first post did not mention whether or not you watched Nanoha. Your second did, but my first post wasn't directed towards your second. Neither was my second, for that matter.
>> I have to say this is the most disappointing list I’ve seen! I’ve never really been a fan of Nanoha or Fate so I wouldn’t have put them anywhere near the list.
^That is mainly what I was commenting on. Perhaps It's the most disappointing because you don't know some of the characters, eh?
Assuming a characters worth based on their appearance, doesn't work on a favorite character poll. They don't have a large following for nothing, especially when they don't even come from a massively popular series like most other characters on that list. You wouldn't understand what people like about them until you watch the series for itself.
I know my first post didn’t say whether or not I watched Nanoha but that didn’t stop you from misreading it and making false accusations. And now that you’ve brought it to everyone’s attention that my original post was the subject of all you posts, can you explain why it is you assumed I had never seen Nanoha just because I didn’t like the characters? And don’t say that I claimed the list to be “strictly 2009” so therefore I hadn’t seen it or would have known that Nanoha didn’t come out in 2009 because all my other posts already explained how you made that up.

And I don’t want you to re-post this claiming had I seen the show I would like the characters. Like it’s impossible for characters with such a large fanbase to have at least one person not agree. How many trolls do you see around here calling people Mio-fags when Mio has been at the top of most character polls since spring? I have nothing against the characters they’re just not anywhere near my favorite characters from anime. And I think I’ve seen and heard enough about the characters to make a proper judgment, I mean I am the one who decides who and what I like after all.

Aside from accidentally double clicking the post button I don’t see how this happened, least of all it being re-posted almost an hour later! This site seriously needs to get fixed.
THIS IS MADNESS!
rofl, you claim I'm missing the point when you, yourself are too geared to thinking I claimed you said all series were from 2009. That's not true. What I said, was you would know that every series was not from 2009 had you watched Nanoha. Your claims on the list being terrible sounded as if you knew all the character, and that's what lead me to assume you watched Nanoha.
True, you're free to make any choice you want, but that doesn't make them right. Sorry, if you did not watch the series, then you can't make a fair assessment of the character. Like it or not, It's true. They're not anywhere near your favorite character because you don't know them, not because they don't appeal to you. However, if you had some facts about the characters via. watching the series, and came to the same conclusion, I would have absolutely no problem with your opinion. But as it stands, I think It's a joke to not like a character based on the few things you know about them. How can you say you "know" their personality, when you don't even know the series.
And I forgot to make one more thing clear. I didn't comment just because you assumed the list might be strictly 2009, but it was because you mentioned disliking Nanoha and Fate, while stating this list could be 2009. Thus my 'dumb as bricks' comment came in, because at that point it really sounded like you knew them and didn't like their character, all while thinking the list might be 2009.
My original post didn’t say either way whether I had watched Nanoha or not, yet you came to the conclusion that I hadn’t by claiming I thought the list be a 2009 only list. Although it’s true that hadn’t seen it at the time of posting (or even now for that matter) it doesn’t change the fact that you made false assumptions.
>> rofl, you claim I'm missing the point when you, yourself are too geared to thinking I claimed you said all series were from 2009.
Hold on…
>> Anyone who claims this is a strictly 2009 poll, clearly hasn't watched Nanoha. Unless they're dumb as bricks. Your choice.
It might just be me but you pretty heavily implied that I claimed this list to be strictly 2009. *shrugs*
Oh and…
>>…it was because you mentioned disliking Nanoha and Fate, while stating this list could be 2009.
I didn’t even say the list “could be” I simply didn’t feel like prioritizing ALL of my favorite anime characters, so I thought I’d make it easier on myself by narrowing it down to just the ones of 2009, since most of the list was 2009 and I did agree with most of the characters on there just not the position they were in. So that’s when I made the mistake of saying “IF” this were a 2009 list, as in hypothetically making this list 2009, as in not really but let’s make it one anyways, as in my list with my favorite characters on it now.
As a closing comment: I have read many blogs, reviews, and comments regarding Nanoha when it was out and stuff, I even seen small clips and AMVs. But nothing that I saw or read really compelled me to go watch a whole episode. I felt I knew enough about the show and characters to determine if I wanted to watch an episode or not. A few times in the past I had gotten into an anime simply because I read a review or blog and decided to follow up with YouTube videos. Elfen Lied, Elemental Gelade, When They Cry, Shana, these are all show I knew nothing about prior to Googleing. And after reading about the shows I decided to put them on my Netflix queue, I now own them all. It’s just a way that works for me and nobody else has to like it.
enough with the K-ON shit already
In my honest opinion, disliking a character before you get to know them totally lacks reason. Knowing them through other peoples opinion and the few AMV's you watched doesn't cut it. Whether or not the anime appeals to you should have no barring on the characters to begin with, not that you'de truly know whether or not it lacks appeal for you until you give it a chance. You gave the characters, and the series zero chance. Unless you're appaled my magical girls, I honestly don't see what you find appealing to the series you mentioned, that is lacking in the Nanoha series. You clearly enjoy action, and the second season has more action in it to put most series to shame. And perhaps you didn't watch well made amv's. Give "Lyrical on Fire" and "Ressonance" a try. I honestly don't give a crap whether or not you watch it, however, It's really annoying to hear "so and so" is crap when you never did experience the series or It's characters for yourself.
Whatever.
~ No. 9, Mikoto-san~ No wonder~ And Yui~ XD Great job, futari-tomo!
