The fact of the matter is that Yuki is not emotionless, she was designed to be "shy" but because her superiors do not fully understand humans, she is not fully capable of displaying emotions. But it is those few glimpses of her reacting to the world around her that make those moments and indeed every moment special just waiting to see her become closer to humanity.
You claim she is unattractive but does every girl have to have ovacious curves and large breasts? No.
Yuki has small features, she doesn't need prominent body features to stand out - it is a form of cuteness rarely displayed in anime.
She displays loyalty and intelligence, curiosity and even little understanding of simple things, much like a small child learning about the world around themselves.
She is also gentle, only once has she ever struck someone but that was only to get Kyon out of harms way quickly, otherwise, she has only acted out of defense and is even willing to put others' lives before her own.
And virginity?
Is that supposed to be a factor to determine whether someone is good or not?
This goes back to my exploring child comment. The whole world is new to her and every interaction is important within it. Virginity is like innocence and it is important to keep it. You don't have to be a sex hound to be good. And frankly by the fact that you even stated that she was bad for being a virgin makes me view you as though you were a prostitute.

Not everybody views things the same way and if you don't understand it, then don't try.
As for me, I find her features to be cute - short hair, small stature, but a certain mystery about her. A soothing voice, helpful and gentle disposition without exaggerated features most characters are given to garner attention from the audience.
In fact, most of the series does tend to revolve around Yuki more than Haruhi.

And by the way, I don't see why so many people hate the fact that Haruhi has an upbeat attitude most of the time. Why would you want someone to feel sad or depressed? She is strong outwardly but inside, she is still a frightened girl who needs Kyon in order to feel strong. She has flaws but she tries to make up for them and even tries to make those around her happy as well, even if it's at their expense. Maybe the reason I can say this is because I've read all the light novels which delve into the character's personalities more than the anime is able to do. Haruhi grows more attached and considerate of the rest of the Brigade and acts much more maturely, so those who have only seen the anime have yet to view her in a more mature and level-headed tone.

She makes ronery otakus go "MOE MOE!!" TD;DR of most answers here. She's not a bad character, but I can't comprehend how serious fanboys get. My God, what is it about moe. *shudder* She's not a Rei clone; er, I thought Rei was better. No, I'm not flaming Yuki before someone starts getting all "OMG YOU TROLL" defensive, but for some reason, emotionless girls are just not that interesting to me, and Rei wasn't completely ":|" But I she's not bad. The Disappearance movie is probably going to give her that characterization that I want to see, and besides, anyone who can stand Mikuru's aggravating existence alone deserves an award. it's all about the Tsuruya, nyoro. heehee, I can't wait for those bad comment votes.

I thought about this for a moment and I've come to the conclusion that Nagato Yuki is popular because she is the "Ultimate Virgin". Everything is new to her. She's never had chocolate ice cream, been to a base ball game, kissed, or been in love. It's very easy for a person to imagine them selves being her guide to the outside world and the experience of the human condition. I believe that has a lot of appeal to a lot of people for a wide verity of reasons.

I'm a girl and I love Nagato :3 She's cute and cool at the same time. Although this is blasphemy to some otakus, I personally hate Haruhi. She's selfish, she doesn't really care about anyone but herself, she's completely oblivious to the fact she's like Mary Sue- I mean "god", she's abusive to Mikuru-chan, she's too damn cheerful most of the time, she's pretty much a crazy bitch, and she knows that she wants to fuck Kyon but she doesn't admit it. I think this girl is a bitch. I hate these women who hate other girls who are quiet. I mean they're the goddamn annoying ones! Would you rather go out with someone who's a little on the quiet side or someone who never shuts up? Exactly.

“She’s a gloomy virgin who never changes her expression. Living with her wouldn’t be fun at all, and she isn’t even very cute. In spite of all this, why?”

Your words are as empty as your soul. Mankind ill needs a savior such as you.

And will you look at that, yet another one!

What is this? Tsuruya at 8.6% popularity?
ASAKURA, AT 6.3% ???!!!

I don't care if Nagato is first place. That poll was bullshit.

because being emotionless means they are "easier to control" (aka raepable)

WTF, Darkrock? Even wikipedia agrees Nagato is the breakout character!

(Altough, I extrapolated that completely from Minori Chihara's article. Also, wikipedia is sometimes stupid shit crap.)

Anyway, Haruhi is a total bitch. Endless Eight all but confirms it.

That's not by choice though; that's just because that is her job to keep out of other people's affairs. There is a difference between what Yuki chose to do and what she is told to do from her creators.

I'm a girl, and I love Nagato! A part of her appeal is because she's so quiet, but things do have an effect on her. The one thing I liked about E8 (Okay, I liked more than one thing, but still.) was the fact that you saw minute reactions by Nagato in each repeat, and not the same sorts of changes as the others. For example, the final two cycles, during the "How long have we been doing this?" reveal there was a hint of sadness and desperation. At least, to me that's what it seemed like. It makes you think that maybe she has all of these different feelings she just doesn't understand how to articulate. Then is how she doesn't understand a few things like having a glasses fetish... Which is insufferably cute. Much cuter than not being able to cook, or sucking at math, or being clumsy like most anime females seem to be afflicted with as of late... TL;DR- She's cute. She has an air of mystery. She has non-typical gaps in knowledge.

I think generally, most of the otakus learn from the moral animes and implement into the real life... Or is it just me?
but then, animes are like a book, its hard to find the good ones.

I think you miss the point- Yes Haruhi is a bitch. She is not, however manipulative in the sense that's endemic to Japan. If 2ch girl doesn't get Nagato, imagine how odd she'd find the fact that even Haruhi's personality compares favorably to hers.

Dandere is an abbreviation of だんまりデレデレ[danmari deredere]. だんまり[danmari] means to be calm or to shut one’s mouth up all the time. And デレデレ means, you know, such a sweet attitude. She doesn’t speak at all mostly, but when there’s no one else but you two, she would be sweet to you. In other words, she would be in deredere-mode.

I'm very surprised that no one even mention that she was introverted.

what exactly about nagato is not cute? except maybe in the eyes of someone who's only into gyaru?

actually, this was my reply to some anon that posted the same comment as this girl on 4chan. I probably should have mentioned this, but what the heck, who cares.

It's because Negato is emotionless and cute, but she is also helpfull and silent. And watching those small hints of emotions show through, eg. the ep where she hacks the game, is what makes her character adored.

Okay. First, she's made of awesome. She can hack into any computer through a standard network and rewrite the programming of Windows games through freaking DOS, WHILE EVERYONE IS PLAYING THE FREAKING GAME!!!! On the same network, no less. Second, she can literally alter reality by rewriting the matrix, as well as rewrite it back to what it was like before, despite all the destruction caused (minus a pair of glasses). Third, her stoic nature isn't intimidating at all (I'm not much for hyper girls; too much energy, and a constant smile creeps me out). She's intelligent, and according to recent episodes (time travel and all), she ages well (as in, barely). And last, but not least: She can freaking rock out on a guitar. Read sheetmusic in one go, and master it on the spot. All this without changing emotion/expression, not even a surprised, or arrogant smile, after her performance. ...Now then, who WOULDN'T like that?
