WTF!?! Konata at number 9! >__<
Whatever, she's my number 1! And my only reason for watching Lucky Star ^__^
To me, they're all fail except for Konata.
I think Washu from Tenchi Muyo would make an awesome friend so long as she does not experiment on you.
Ryoko and Yoshi also would be fun as hell too.
On the list I'd pick Konata,or Doraemon.
I'd have no problem with Washu using her magic fingers, if you know what I mean. ^_^
Where us Luffy!? he's #1 on my list :>
I'm not afraid to say it but I would actually like to be friends with Konata. For various gamings reason she would be the perfect co-op partner. T.T I won't have to deal with crappy allies and crap when I go online.
I want Konata as co-op partner the way the pic shows. ^_^
My first (male) choice is Sakai Yuji!
Son Kun eats way too much to be MY friend!! But learning to fly would be sweet xd
Doraemon is awesome!
I have to definitely agree with:
Sunohara
Konata
Hinata
Touma would be alright I guess
Yui would be a horrible friend. Ui on the other hand...
1. Chii (Chobits)
2. Yui (K-ON!)
3. Konata (Lucky star!)
4. Nagato (SSHNY)
5. Mio( K-on!)
6. Kyon (SSHNY)
7. Hyuuga Hinata (Naruto Shippuuden)
8. Yuzuru Otonashi (angel beats!)
9. Kanade Tachibana (Angel Beats!)
10. Eikichi Onizuka (GTO)
there is my top ten ... but there are too much moe there u.u indeed there is XD
I'd like to be friends with Lain. It's surprising though. No Gurren Lagann? Never a dull moment with Kamina, y'know. And I would've preferred Blaziken. Something that's all about kicking ass.
I would rather have Lelouch as my friend...
No Minna Dietlinde Wilcke? Hmmmm... Oh well...
I would like to be the friend of:
- Yokoshima sensei from Seitokai Yakuindomo... 'Let's just be friends, okay?' :D
- Any goddamn rich anime character who doesn't hate commoners. ;)
Goku would be that friend that always has your back, someone fucks with you and theyre gonna end up with SOMETHING broken by the end of the day
and even if it is pikachu, it is kinda sad that one of your only friends is a yellow rat
it would be cool if Yugi was there :D
think about it the king of games playing with you now that's awesome :)
The majority of this list says something pretty scary about the intelligence of those who voted on them. Most of these people will screw you over - and not even realize they've done so. So does this mean that the voters get off on being abused...?
I can't just befriend the whole cast of Genshiken? That would be the best of all worlds I would think. Especially for someone of such wide-ranging interests as myself.
I think this is a funny question.
When I pondered what anime characters I'd like as friends, I thought of:
- Konata
- Katakura Kippei from Aishiteruze Baby
Then I realized
- my best friend is a real-life Kippei
- I am on friendly terms with girls who share a lot of Konata's features.
I guess I'm happy with my friends. Which I'm damn right to be.
Fuck no, I'd punch Konata in the face if she was real.
Ha I found this surprising I'd figure to find they were all these hot chicks but there's actually allot of guys.
Touma as a friend?
TOTALLY WANT
Why would anyone want to have Konata as a friend when you can have Doraemon! I mean Konata is just a girl that is into anime. . . I have met a lot of girls like that ( unless that the people that choose her are those otakus that have never spoken to a girl ever )
With Doraemon you can do whatever the hell you want!
Hahahahaah General Vamp???
But he's so miserable...
Also where is Luffy and Shinbo from Chobits?
Another awesome friend would be Kamina!
That list is fail without Kamina and Konata in first and second places!
Third best friend could be Son Goku, cuz he saved our asses so many times, and he can even teach you how to fly :D
Friends with Touma for the convenience of also "befriending" Index? Definitely.
Dont know about you...but I'd pick BONTA-KUN as #1 anytime. FMP-Fumoffu.
Pikachu? Really?
Why wouldn't you want a Pokemon as your buddy
I want to befriend Ikaros(and expecially her cards)!
I vote for Ikaros..who gets that hottie will rule the world!
Wow, interesting to see Youhei in the list. I remember commenting to a friend that he was one of the few anime male leads who would pass the "beer test"--I wouldn't mind going out for a beer with the guy.
Having Shimura Shinpachi as a friend is alot better...Ain't no day without laughter!
General Vamp at number six makes me very, very happy.
Doraemon is the best friend one can have.
I mean, have you seen the amount of adventures he and Nobita been through? 20+ movies, from past to future, from earth to space, from RPG games to books.
Heck, they even created earth at one point and rule as god. (For Homework purposes too)
wtf Pikachu, who srsly wants a fat yellow rat to be his/her friend? I mean what is Pikachu good for besides kicking ass in SSB(and you don't have to be it's friend for that)? And then Son Goku. Yea he might be pretty strong, but all of his friends keep on dying all the time and have to be resurrected nonstop, doesn't sound that great does it?
They probably wanna friend Son Goku for his massive Saiyan cock.
Hinata is a bro
Me HENRIETTA from ZERO NO TSUKAIMA!!!!!!!! :D AND ALSO, BLACK ROCK SHOOTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me HENRIETTA from ZERO NO TSUKAIMA!!!!!!!! :D AND ALSO, BLACK ROCK SHOOTER!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO, KUROI MATO TOO WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!!!
Why the unnecesary pedophelia?
Current top ten friend list
01.Sae Nakata (AmagamiSS)
02.Krillin (Dragon Ball)
03.Sousuke Sagara (Full Metal Panic)
04.Aria (Sister Princess)
05.Kanade "Tenshi" Tachibana (Angel Beats)
06.Kazuya Kasuga (Kimagure Orange Road)
07.Nanoha Takamichi (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha)
08.Doraemon (Doraemon)
09.Ui Hirisawa (K-ON)
10.Nagi Sanzenin (Hayate no Gotoku)
i want to be friends with ishihara
Yes yes, I'm kind of OK with that but Konata deserves better than #9
I pretty much agree with this list except for Son Goku, General Vamp and Hinata.
1.) Konata (Lucky Star)
2. Pikachu - or Pichu! (Pokemon)
3.) Goku (DBZ)
4.) Asa Shigure (Shuffle)
5.) Sousuke Sagara (Full Metal Panic)
6.) Tamaki Suoh (Ouran HS Host Club)
7.) Rakushun (Twelve Kingdoms)
8.) Kyosuke Imadori (School Rumble)
9.) Yasushi Takagi (NANA)
10.) Sergeant Keroro (Sgt Frog)
Who likes my list?? :O?
What? No Takakazu Abe? What is wrong with you people.
Doraemon, Pikachu, Goku for happy adventure fun time.
Touma and I suppose Araragi never have a quiet day.
With Doraemon.... all you need to do is alter dimensions using the phone thingy to make you live in a world of your choosing. Just choose the world of your favorite anime series and you get your anime character AND Doraemon. It's a win-win situation.
Youhei lol, yeah he really is a good friend
Sunohara ftw
I want to be friends with Naitou Momoko from Shoujo Sect.
i would rather be kiras friend.......hey u get to be a friend with god, that must come with some perks right?
PIKACHU!!! X3
...Twelve or so years ago, I would have been all over that
Funny, Sunohara was the first name I thought of when I read the post title too... Good characters gettin' respect these days? That's a refreshing sight.
Next survey: Top 10 anime characters you'd like to BANG REAL HARD
Make that Top 100. ^_^
I'm actually quite happy that Hinata was in there. I find him really nice to have as a friend due to his jovial personality, and I'm sure other Angel Beats! fans will agree.
Touma~ Touma~ Toooooooumaaaaaaaa~
little surprised Konata is first... though it has been a few years, maybe people have just forgotten her :P
Hmmm never thought Goku would be my friend. Bastard must rock at fighting games :\
most people are posting who they wanna bone...
not friend material coz lets face it you wanna bone the female character you posed up.
DORAEMON FTW!
Anime character friend? NANOHA!!!
http://a.imageshack.us/img507/4813/nanoha2.jpg
wtf konata 9 ?!!
What a bizarre list, i'm quite flabbergasted.
Some of those names are not very surprising (Yui, Konata) since they fit into moe otaku lifestyle of recent years, but the other ones?
Dengeki readers surely surprised me there.
WTF
Konata should be the first!
Best friend ever, but actually i dream about havin a daughter just like her <3
What the hell? No Misao Kusakabe?
I am disappointed with those results!
Yukari Yakumo
francesca lucchini
miyafuji yoshika
Konata
Horo
Satoko Houjou
Forgot Perrine H. Clostermann as number 2 D:
Not people you want to bone... I don't know about you but I prefer friends who I have no sexual feelings for.
Yeah to General Vamp and Doraemon!
But... pretty much everyone that is posting is also to bone...
If it was just friends... then yeah... Yukari Yakumo.
Being able to go to Gensokyo and then bone everyone <3
or does that not count?
I don't get this list...very contrast to the Dengeki 's list..
Where is Krillin and Kana?
Is that Minami Kana you're referring to? If so, hell yeah; she's an Idiot only a best friend can love~
Needs more Lina Inverse.
Lina Inverse? Are you kidding? She is totally ruthless to her friends. The likelihood of surviving just a day of friendship with her is low. Really low. Plus, she'd probably con you into footing the bill for one of her meals, and then you'd be broke.
You said it! Befriending Lina Inverse is like taking on a vow of poverty AND a deathwish!
No tsunderes? I am mr.disappointment
Apparently having a conversation with a friend ranks very low on these lists...nearly half of those characters are pretty one-dimensional.
WTF no Kamina?
He's a fag, I'd rather hang out with Alucard ^_^
Hell yeah, General Vamp! So happy to see him top the list. Would be a great friend/slave that can help to cook and clean and offer household tips.
wtf
Konata should be in first place!
Best otaku friend ever! Actually i dream about havin a daughter like Konata <3
Konata is awesome... but I seriously can't accept the fact that you didn't even mention the name of the girl in your avatar...
srsl?
Not even one Gintama character? This poll ranking results is invalid.
Hanging out with Touma would mean constantly seeing Biribiri, and where Misaka goes Kuroko is not far behind.
I highly disagree with Touma.
Pikachu would be awesome, but there will be early deaths.
And Doraemon is truth.
Just think about it every character around Touma gets awesome, Gar or gets a girl at least.
Give me Sunohara and I won't ask for more ^^ Of course only as far as concerns friends. Harem is another story XD
I approve of number 4.
Sunohara is the man!
Number 3 is good too.
Touma's awesome.
http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/391709
I really miss the guy...
Sunohara would be a great sidekick. I'm tired of being one myself.
And also as your shield from Tomoyo's Roundhouse Kick and Kyo's Flying Foot+Book Combo.. while you enjoy the delicate slow-mo pantyshots..
Finally, some men getting into some kind of top 10 that's not restricted only to male characters. Haha, Hinata... Thinks he's below a paperclip.
I agree. Any one of them would make an excellent friend. I'd also like to add Nanoha and Tenshi (Kanade).
"..I'd also like to add Nanoha.."
Just make sure you can handle her "Shoot first, be friends later." policy....
Screw Nanoha, I say go with Fate and Tenshi. I love girls who are quiet and gentle, but can kick serious ass when needed to.
I agree with you, but you forgot Yuki Nagato :3
But Nanoha can and have totally kicked Fate's ass.
Being friends with Touma would be a lot of fun, yet the ultimate buzzkill. As a part of his band of buddies, you'd get dragged into all sorts of awesome-laced craziness, yet no matter what female you ran into along the way, they'll all go for Touma.
There's something strange about the unluckiest man on the planet, who draws more women to him than Justin Bieber. Even to this day, I'm still pondering how true misfortune ties into this...unless it's that he can't pick one without the rest trying to kill him over it. Hrm...this is a conundrum.
Pikachu 0__o
Lol at Hinata making it in the top 10.
Why is Konata only number 9!?!
I agree. Konata should be #1.
This just proves, we need ANOTHER season of Lucky Star, and not just an OVA.
We need to get her Popularity up again.
As that Anonymous pointed out, her popularity is slipping. Furthermore, with pretty much the only seiyuu eccentric enough to portray her jumping ship for other endeavors, that pretty much kills any further Lucky Star seasons/series/movies...
Konata is only #9 because they asked about charas you want as a friend, not lover. ^_^
i was also surprised to see this -.- they should make another lucky star anime -.-
no
Trude's seiyuu in Strike Witches is different in season 1 and season 2. With all the talented seiyuu out there, finding someone with the same voice wouldn't be difficult.
Or they could also ask Ryo Hirohashi, who was Konata before Aya Hirano (in the first drama cd and in the DS games)
Aya is the best voice for Konata, 2ch be damned.
Based on the new undressable figures of Yuu-chan, Minami and Patti (not just the fact that new figures are being released at all, but also that they're wearing red buruma instead of baggy blue shorts that are a little longer than their seifuku skirts); and the fact that KyoAni's other big two franchises (Haruhi and K-On) both got second seasons; I'd say it's very likely that a second season of Lucky Star will happen. There should be an announcement probably by the end of the year, maybe.
Hopefully there will be another bikini episode, this time with the twins wearing two-piece swimsuits instead of one-piece, and Yuki-chan NOT wearing a shirt over her string bikini.
But if Aya refuses to reprise Konata acceptance could be hard.
yeah I was like wtf Konata is a Cute Loli-Gamer that also plays eroge, how come she is only 9 ??? Also why isn't chibi L here ? I mean you could put him in your pocket and pull him out when you wanna attract chicks :D
its okay im here
Some things you just can't understand. Well, that leaves more Konata to me. ^_^
I think because her popularity is slowly fading away.
the picture shows a wonderful way of how turning any singleplayer game into a multiplayer one with a Co-Op modus.
I'll second Biribiri. What an unusually down to earth, friendly character. Seems like good girlfriend material, but I pity the fool who ends up spurning Kuroko!
Doraemon as your friend would just be awesome. You see the stuff he has in his pouch of futuristic wonders? Anything you'd want, morally dubious consequences be damned!
General Vamp making the list FTW.
I dunno why ure thumbed down... it wasnt that bad.
Darkrockslizer, ur last av was better : (
This sickens me, Konata should be first!!! Wait... Doraemon is first... WTF!?
Hm, Doraemon would be interesting, but then again, I don't think I really liked his behavior. Whatever.
I wouldn't mind Konata. Why? It's obvious enough.
I wanna be friends with Catians and use my home as a galactic embassy
"2. Yui (K-ON!)"
...Why? Why would they...?
I had expected Sugisaki Ken (Seitokai no Ichizon) to be above Touma or Hinata Hideki.
no its probably because people want her as waifu instead
I want to be friends with Biribiri
I wanna be friends with Yagami Light.. oh wait he's just gonna use me, nevermind
Poor Konata.
Goku should be changed to Krillen to be honest, I mean who doesn't have a krillen as a friend, everybodies got a krillen in some shape or form.
*frowns. i don't know any of these people, except goku.
Doraemon is the perfect choice. I would.
Look at all the possibilities when you can time travel, teleporting to practically anywhere in the universe, and kick anyone's ass just for lulz.
Just according to keikaku... >:3
Go go Hinata! Finally, he gets the recognition which he deserves! :3
And Sunohara Youhei obviously also deserves that spot, though you need to have the right character yourself to fully enjoy him.
I don't really get why people would want Goku as a friend though. Wouldn't it be kind of... Well, emasculating when you have trouble picking up a laundry machine by your own when he can lift several busses stacked on top of each other with a single finger and without breaking a sweat?
Sure, you can ask him to do it (and he probably will), but still! I'd hate to go clubbing with him. For one, he'd mess it up, and secondly, you'd look like a massive wimp next to him.
Even Superman would look like a wimp next to him.
List needs more Onizuka.
Sunohara indeed makes a great friend.
LOL at General Vamp. But he'd do all the housechores for you and cook delicious meals! lol
I don't get Touma... he's an aloof, hither dither dude. Not sure if it'll be any fun hanging around with someone like him.
How about Mugi who is very overeager plus filthy rich to boot? And Ui sounds better than the insane Yui, but whatever floats peoples' boats.
You can LOL at General Vamp, but never forget that he's the only World Conqueror wannabe worthy enough to make this planet a better place.
Vamp and Youhei superior.
Also Touma is there probably because of his never ending bad luck - there's always something to do with him around. The sidekick character will be you for sure though...
Befriending Touma will make you get a loli(i.e: Accelerator) or a DFC girlfriend(i.e: Hamazura Shiage).
I agree with you in place of him i better be friends of Oe Kintaro from golden boy
Vamp ftw!!
http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/644596
This vamp ftw! ^_^
http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/674708
I'd actually approve that ONLY if that means I can befriend Yui-nyan..
With those characters at your side, you can conquer the world!
For that some Strike Witches wouldn't hurt, but not even one of them is on that list. Where is Lucchini?
