Readers of otaku rag Animage can’t help but notice moeblob Yui Hirasawa‘s overpowering domination of the “Character Best” monthly wife rankings, only being edged out of the top spot on one occasion by Sheryl Nome.
Even Mio is powerless against the weight of Yui’s onslaught it seems.

Just as I expected, It's Yui...
Since the first few articles and introduction, I was on Yui..
As the days passed, most of the people that I see here are Mio fans... But on the articles that come around here, we see that Yui is really popular with the Otaku...
As far as I've seen, most here really like Mio, I think more people are fond of the typical beautiful long haired girl than a ditsy clumsy cute character. Well of course I'm not saying it's everyone, just most...
xD Seriously, I was already on Yui when K-ON!'s first announcement banner got released. And even after seeing the other's, I still find her the best. Even more when the series aired, - Yui's MOE much for me.
Yeah, I'm kind of attracted to ditsy clumsy girls since I was little... I can remember some such as Lime from Saber Marionette and Hibari Hanakogane from Cyberteam in Akihabara.
I think people choose Yui more as Mio would probably never marry or even date them.
True, you see clumsy girls around alot but that's mostly acting or trying to act cute.
But I'd be pretty pissed if my wife, Yui prefers to sleep with Gitah-san than me.
Mugi is superior.
yo Yui, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish...
but its all about Azu-nyan.
You lie! You like Mugi, right?
I think Ui would make a much better wife then Yui.
I'm extremely proud that Sheryl actually beat Yui once.
I agree with this.
I disagree with both of you
I'm not that into moeblobs?
god anime community's turning into high school
Hell yeah, Sheryl is always 2 good 2 be true
"... I was already on Yui when K-ON!'s first announcment banner got released."
Well, I was IN Yui.
Oh snap!
Oh god.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
So...Yui isn't *gasp* A VIRGIN?!?!?
Damn, i've been fapping to a whore. :(
agreed ive been on the yui side since i first saw her
how do you know it isn't her sister? They're both moe similar, except the younger one has all the good genes.
Lol, I could see your tears of joy, says so your avatar.
Well i kind of have a weakness with shy cute girls but Yui would be ok too i guess since i find clumsy girls to be kinda cute too
when you think about it, yui's a lot more easy-going. mio's pretty adamant against doing anything embarrassing. ritsu's forgetful and mugi's not into guys obviously.
i hate mio give me tsumugi any day but yui is good too
It's nice to have a preference, but it doesn't really matter to me. If I can have them both sucking my wanker,then its all good.
So the majority of moe-fetishists would want lazy, stupid, and over-enthusiastic wives.
That is sort of a fact...
But that what makes 2D and 3D different.
My wife is Yui but my heart belongs to the other thousands of bishoujo
Please don't say Yui is lazy, because that's really crazy!
This is too easy!
Take it easy!
take that!
Take what?
who takes what?
Yui's virginity.
BAZING
*badum-dish*
Oh SNAP!
EPIC PWNAGE!
It's like she has down syndrome.
Otakus are weird, when you ask a normal human about the girl he would like to marry, he would usually answer smart, beautiful etc etc
Yui is not smart...
Just imagine what would happen if she tried to get a job. I know gender roles are a little different in Japan when it comes to work but you'll have to support her for the rest of your life because of her airheaded incompetence.
She'll roll around the floor after sex.
Rollyui
so great if i can see that, huh ? Lying on bed seeing my wife roll around. What am i ?
I dont like Yui, too stupid
I don't like you either, so moot point.
I don't like nobody (even me) T.T
So you are nobody?
take everything and times it by you. black hole
nobody = 0
nobody's perfect
0=perfect
So you hate Charles Manson [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2oZWpqtNi4]?
You're too stupid to not like her. Have you seen her cutting onions?
And people say this even though she got a straight A+ for her exam.
i dont mind yui but the fact shes number 1 is stupid i rather have mio
So most of otaku want a wife like that.
Well i'm glad to be not of them.
They're easy Satisfied.
But they forgot one important thing that type of girl don't make money.
(only if u rent her in the street if you now what i mean...)
When its true love there is no need for stupid things like money ^^
LOL, tell that to the tax collectors or food vendors and see if they take your "love" in exchange for their benefits
Actually, I'm pretty sure some collectors would indeed take their "love" in exchange, though this might be a different kind of "love" then you are talking about :3
Screw the money... I have Yui.
She don't need to make money... I do. She is the wife... A wife just need to cook and be f*cking moe. That will be the heaven to me.
Ohhhhh, I already see the next headline on san.com:
"Otaku Lejambre killed by militant feminazis over sexist comment."
I mean screw all that political correct bullcrap but it would be pretty hilarious, wouldn't it? :P
lejambre's comment and this article makes me wonder why posters on SC seem to rage in united indignance whenever there's something about how japanese women look for money in their partners...when it seems like the men there are just looking for cute but stupid women who couldn't possibly get a real job anyway
Otaku feel the same way about you.
Sometime some people must just forgot how to push a key ... and to breathe too !!!
You are going to have some problem you know!
dont mind. I can make money for her. Not rich but im not poor for support her all her life
Not even Cameron can pull this shit off.
Because his movies suck. I've known that for quite a while, at least now we all have something to smear in peoples faces who think differently :)
moe is just being very feminit as it seems.
it is part of being feminit also
This proves men want women to be pure.
It's not verified otaku=men u now...
yui's pure? in what sense? o_O
Purely retarded.
I'm glad I'm not a number in the moe boom.
I'd personally rather have Azu Nyan she's so cute.
I concur. I like characters with common sense best. At the very least, she's the least nonsensical character of the cast [besides Ui and Nodoka I suppose].
I'd have both of em.
well in the anime i do like her but for real life wife this is worst scenario.I prefer Ui for the perfect housewife.
Agreed, Ui would be a better choice for a wife, Yui is just too lazy and too much of a ditz to really get anything done.
I don't think many of these otaku realize that when they get home from work, they would only find an unkept house, an unprepared meal that they'd have to prepare themselves, and a sleeping wife too lazy to welcome them back and please their manly desires. Not preparing them a bentou or messing it up if she does.
I wouldn't tolerate a wife that only lazes about in the house while I work 12 hour shifts to support her.
i prefer ritsu or Azu Nyan
i will have all 6 ( include Ui). I like polygamy
Was just me or someone read "Yuri dominate otaku wife rankings".
It's just you.
Hmm...so you have yuri complex huh?
looks like we are still stuck with K-On!.....
And we're gonna have more of it this spring...
they are literally everywhere now. more of that with the second season I guess....
Don't remind me.
what don't watch a sucsesfull slice of life genre if you don't like it.
Azumanga is a good example of the genre; K-ON is tripe.
Too true, Yui just makes me think of Osaka if you were to remove all the other-worldly thinking that makes her so charming, and Ritsu's just half a Tomo.
I'd rather marry Ui, Yui comes as a free extra.
Out of all the lovely characters the series has, they always have to go for the most retarded one...
But she's just retardedly cute! I mean c'mon, doesn't "Hirasawa Yui and the Weird Sisters" sounds cute AND retarded at the same time?
The problem is that such a wife, who couldn't get a job even if her life depended on it, is quite a handfull. First you get up and make breakfast and send the kids to school, then you go to work, then you spend your lunchbreak getting some quick housework done (if you are lucky enough to life near your work-place) then you get back to work with an empty stomach. After work you still find her lazing around on the couch watching TV and getting fat (yes even her metabolism will change to normal levels after her first kid) so you start doing the rest of the housework, help your kids with your homework and get some work done you brought home from your work-place. Suddenly you realize that it's 0530 and that you have to start making breakfast before your kids get up. A few years later Yui will be like Peggy's mother, you haven't slept more than 10 minutes at a stretch in years, lost a few jobs and ended up as a shoe salesman at "Gary's Shoes" .
quite a lot of words about fictional characters, don't you think?
I had some time to spare...
So her metabolism will change back to normal after the first kid ?
Probably even sooner. Take me for example: For years I could gobble down almost anything and not gain as much as a pound. That changed within a year (17 probably, am 22 now) and now I'm going to the gym twice a week, working hard to be less of a fatty...
Why the fuck am I taking this discussion seriously? Must've been something weird in my coffee today...
otaku want idiot wives i guess.
otaku want wives but they can only use there hand.
Ho and i forgot there brain.
What the hell is that 'otaku wife' it's impossible.
A real otaku spear is life to buy buy buy and buy anime,manga,eroge ect... stuff...
They don't have time for make a REAL relationship.
Mio win
This is the proof, K-ON is stupid and otakus are just idiots :(
says the weeaboo.
Posting on Sankaku != weeaboo
Related: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/01/16/the-two-types-of-anime-otaku/
Weaboo westerner only term. Otaku distinction above irrelevant, and only for japanese standards.
Posting/even looking at Sankaku = typically weaboo
You're past the middle ground if you still check this site.
Which is cool though.
I don't really see it this way. Otaku and weeaboo, to me, are two very similar terms separated only by one's native culture and a slight difference in meaning.
We all know what an otaku is: one in whose hobbies they are so thoroughly interested that it almost approaches obsession. Train otaku, anime otaku, idol otaku/wota (whatever they're called now), cosplay otaku, and so on.
The usage of the term "otaku" in Western culture, however, pertains almost exclusively to anime and manga, especially when it is self-applied by extreme fans of these art forms. This is where I feel the term "weeaboo" has a useful application.
"Weeaboo" differs in that it carries many similarities between otaku (an almost obsessive and compulsive desire to pursue one's chosen hobby) but also has a slight additional connotation: the desire for one to be and act Japanese. There's a copy & paste troll on 4chan who perfectly exemplifies the idea of a weeaboo: a white guy who dresses in traditional Japanese garb, adheres to bushido, and wants to attend a Japanese high school at the age of 27, all while spouting questionably-applied Japanese vocabulary.
The "two types of otaku" link I provided explains the duality of identifying with that subculture, and contends that the "Type A" otaku (one who only interests themselves on a basic level) isn't really an otaku at all, but simply a fan with more discriminating taste. And so, making use of the two-type otaku model, I would like to suggest that there are also two types of weeaboo. I would consider myself more of a "Type A," one who finds many aspects of Japanese culture interesting, especially pop culture, but I can also find some really shitty aspects of that culture and don't really aspire to be or become Japanese in any way. This isn't dismissive of Japan and its unique culture at all, either: I do the same with any culture I come with which I come into contact.
All of us don't mind that. That includes you too.
I don't think Yui is stupid.. She is a little naive but not stupid.
So u know her?
only see her walk i won't know more.
Not really that naive either. She's not as airheaded as she looks, that's why she's such a good character.
If I were to choose a wife, I'd want someone who is:
1. Fun to be around. By extension fun-loving.
2. Easy to talk to.
3. Caring.
4. Honest and speaks from the heart.
5. Cute. (optional)
Yui fits the bill perfectly. Not many will want a bitchy wife nagging at them all the time. Mature women like Sheryl, Senjogahara and Mio are all like that.
Seen Sheryl in Animedia tops 1, made me recover faith in Japan
Well duh of course it's Yui.
She's cute, not intimidatingly smart, cheerful and she plays guitar.
If not wife I think most would consider any girl like her as an ideal girlfriend. I mean she doesn't need to worry about being in a band just to be cute on vocals, she's actually playing guitar.
I grew up on bands that had capable female artists.
"intimidatingly smart" eh? personally I love women that outwit me, but unfortunately doesn't happen often enough. I live among idiots here.
And like you said, Yui would be fun as a girlfriend, but as a wife she'd be less than capable. I'm afraid she's outclassed by her little sister in the "wife material" regard.
Yui would be a cute wife but she will leave you to die cuz she will do a horrible job.
She won't even do any job i think. She'll just roll on the floor when you come home saying "Okaeeeeriiii~". Damn she's just too cute.
I guess it's true what they say--men like stupid girls who need to be taken care of. Good thing she's 2D and thus immune to the invariable penchant of whiny drama 3D girls of such type bring.
Even so, I'd rather have her little sister. She's at least competent. :-|
I don't know. She's funny and all that, obviously cute, but meh. She doesn't really do it for me.
It'll always be Ritsu for me~
I'm imagining if Yui,just hypothetically,became my waifu.
She would give me hugs and kisses everyday.
She probably wouldn't mind how much I make.
Everything she does would look disgustingly cute.
She does it everyday.
Not half bad.
I'm sure she would be a loving wife, but you also need to take into account her laziness and ditziness. You can't be there all the time to tell her how to do things or do them yourself.
Precisely. Someone who speaks from her heart, not her head. A much needed break from today's shallow women.
who want a clumsy klutz as their wife?..
Appearently, most otaku does ... orz
That's about what? 60? 70 percent of Sankaku's denizen.
Mio is the best, but Yui is adorable and charming.
Am I the only one who doesn't give a damn about K-on! ?
Have you even seen it to say that? You shouldn't even post here.
I have seen it and I didn't find it any special at all. It's just that the anime community (especially Japan) is so freaking crazy about it.
And deeming by all of your posts in this topic I can clearly see that you are a K-on! fanboy, and hating on everyone that says something "bad" about K-on! doesn't make you any better.
yes, k-on sucks...they should not ban loli animes, they should ban moeblob animes - for the sake of humanity
Doesn't suck but I just wanna know WHY everyone treats it like it's the second coming of christ >_<
U'are not the one, but we don't care about what we can't see.
I prefer Ui to be honest.
SAWAKO KURONUMA beats Yui anytime with her maturity looks! Anytime!
The "You Gonna Get Taken Home" is strong within this one...
She looks like she has some weird disfiguring disease.
The shape of her eyes, distorted bone structure.
So ugly
Maybe ur the ugly one.
you can dislike her but call a cutie ugly is unacceptable :p
More Mio for me!
Mio's hands are to big prefer Azu nyan ....
Sad Ritsu fan here. :(
God damn moe cancer.
For real. Anime fans wonder why they are the targets of such ridicule and scorn. It is shit like this, waifu, 3D is pig disgusting comments, and other incredibly nerdy stuff. Anime can be a great art form and incredibly sophisticated. It can also be wonderful light entertainment. Both are great traits, but for the sake of other anime fans out there could some of you quit acting like such dorks? Seriously, some of the comments I read here and at other sites make me think the op could get his ass kicked by a bunch of Trekkies.
right on, anon 8:14!
yeah, shes a cute kid, but waifu? really? shes fucking useless
U can't said that, u write something.
Hooo yes it's useless
My girlfriend is stupid as Yui. I laugh at her naivety, sometimes. It's cute.
Proof that it can exist in real life.
"Proof" Only for u dreaming BOYA!!!
Sheryl beat her twice didnt she ?
Sheryl doesn't need to beat anyone, she is already a winner
Sheryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyl!!!!.....HHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!
She's a fictional character. It'll be up to the committee to decide what kind of girl she is.
The Azumanga cast was charming. It didn't need to sell off of flanderization these ronery otaku take up like LSD.
Such is the power of UN TAN
With all due respect to K-on! fans, I can't stand it anymore. I've watched it, I've read it, I had Fuwa Fuwa Time on my cellphone, I fapped to Ritsu's lovely forehead and all but I can't take it anymore.
The story feels too superficial and while the characters are made to appeal based in pre-determined characteristics and behavior (a.k.a. Moe), when you have a better look at them, they're too shallow and poor developed - compare them to Azumanga or even better, Yotsuba&! and you'll see what I'm saying, I don't feel touched with K-on! as I feel with those other two shows and many others.
I'm glad that Sheryl and Ranka beated Yui in January and in February's top 100, they're better crafted characters and have an actual character development. The Sheryl that appeared in the first episode is not the Sheryl in the last episode, they've grown as persons thanks to the experiences they had during the story - the same can't be said about K-on!'s cast that gravitates toward maintaing the status quo and having no character evolution at all.
If that's the way the industry is taking in the next years, sadly I'll have to be glad one or two titles with actual content and good storytelling, but I won't take K-On! and moe anymore.
Short but good analysis sir.
That's the reason why Alto loves Sheryl so much
i dunno about you guys but i think her sister would make a much better wife
'otaku rag Animage' I notice Sankaku does this when ever a publication that has more sway compared the quality of writing that Sankaku produces.
Stay Classy Sankaku.
Yui's such a whore. Azusa FTW!
Shit, that pig best wife?, the future of anime is doomed...
nice trolling +1
Speaking to all these people day dreaming about smart, ultra women tjhat can do everything, I hope you have someone to bury you when you pass, cause you're likely going to die single.
I know quite a lot of women actually, that can't cook worth a hoot and aren't really all that great at domestics. And most are average looking.
But plenty of women I know are still great people. Hey I married my wife for the sex :) I didn't marry her to get a cooking service and free laundry.
Yui rocks because she's fun. You marry a person because you enjoy being with the person. You just hope they can do some of the usual household duties.
Probably going to get a lot of negatives by rabid fanboys for this, but could you guys tell me exactly what in the hell you see in this infuriating lazy blob of human garbage who can't do anything for herself? She lives leeching off her sister's and her friend's love, and does the bare minimum in return.
otakus like their women dumber than themselves (and that's why they'll die alone)
I loved K-ON and it's characters when it came out. But I was over it in about 5 weeks. It was never something I expected to like long-term. It's a throwaway series with no plot and ALL of it's characters have no depth and nothing to keep me interested. Why the fuck is everyone still so fucking obsessed with this sho*cough**cough*
I mean, ummm, Mio > Yui
Sheryl FTW!!
Yui is a very cute and mesmerizingly cute character. Its like if Ranka and Sheryl fusioned only if Ranka's personality takes over completely.
Oh and I imagined a sandwich between Sheryl, Yui and Ranka
I'd like to see their opinion in a few years when all the sweets Yui eats kick in...
Diabetes would be no fun esp when it starts to effect her personality.
wait.. someone notice this. WIFE RANKING? Someone actually write this??
Looks like 3D ain't so pig-disgusting afterall...
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/nob/co/tamaki/topc75.htm
I'd rather have Sawako Yamanaka she's just so much more interesting.
Or if one of the students Tsumugi Kotobuki since she's not a bitch even though she's rich which is a sign of a good personality.
common men would prefer sheryl, fatty onnanism otaku would prefer baka k on, flat chested yui
Azu-nyan the best!
WHAT THE FUCK!??
Anime Yui by far is a complete moron... so it is rather disappointing (but obvious) that she is chosen for such a ranking as a wife.
Well, whaddya expect from the no. 1 idol from K-ON!.
I realised that lots of people want to marry a maid. They only want wife that can work cook etc, think? If so, why do they need you.
Get a maid dude! Wife is for other purposes!!
Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui Yui
