Anime imouto do not only come in the form of loveable moeblobs – they are also available in the form of (presumably equally loveable) responsible and supportive younger sisters who can be relied upon, the most promising of which have been ranked by anime fans below.
1. Mikan (To Love-Ru)
2. Chiaki (Minami-ke)
3. Ui (K-ON!)
4. Miya (Amagami SS)
5. Sakura (Card Captor Sakura)
6. Hitoha (Mitsudo Moe)
7. Nazuna (Working!!)
8. Dorami (Doraemon)
9. Miina (Please Twins)
10. Mei (Clannad)
See also the more conventional imouto moe ranking.
I APROVE THIS TOP 10!!
Yakumo Tsukamoto from School Rumble?
Dependable or most sell-able.
Ui should be higher imo. Chiaki will try her hardest, but she can’t avert a disaster.
sad how noone remembers yakumo from school rumble :<
What the hell does Chiaki in second place?… She’s not reliable at all, move Ui above her!… ^_^
I totally agree with number 1. Mikan <3
If Mikan was more bro-con, the darkness sales would rise dramatically. xD (and a way to hemorrhage Ishithara to death)
I’m glad to see Mikan getting props, she’s the only character worth watching in that shitty show. I wish they could save her from To-Love-Ru and put her in a real anime.
Also, fooey on this poll for missing Nemu Asakura from Da Capo, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that nobody remembers an anime that old….
Mikan is the only imouto you will ever need!
やれやれ・・・
Mikan FTW
Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai.
really… My sister cant be this cute or dependable.
Mikan is definely a good imouto character, like Mina too in Onegai Twins but can’t really call her Imouto character like Mikan Chiaki and Ui
Where’s my Minato?
No kyon’s sister? She “kyon-kun denwah” him 290487359357265983276904680294 times.
this is a “dependable” imouto list, not a moe (i don’t think so) one
how Chiaki beat Ui is beyond me =P
Yeah right? She’s pretty smart but not like some mastermind. You can always count on Chiaki to be talked into supporting Kana’s zany schemes. With ensuing hilarity.
im okay with this
Yay for Mikan!!! ^_^
Miyafuji Miina <3
Sunohara Mei <3
YAKUMO FFS.
Does Nanoha count as an imouto? Would like to put my vote in for what its worth~
Wow. You got a point there.
I’d add Koyoi from Hatsukoi Limited on that list.
Mei~!!! She warmed everyone’s heart when she did that “onii-chan~♥” attack!
Hina from Hayate the Combat Butler
Sakura is the only girl I would want as a wife, sister and daughter at the same time.
Where’s Tsukamoto Yakumo?
Mai Ui should be 1st!
Mikan is win.
MikanXYami is the best thing ever.
Ui & Mikan, DO WANT!!
I hope i have a sister like those two..
My little brother is very lazy in housework, tsk..
This makes me wish that both of my real imouto are just as reliable as Mikan and Ui.
I agree on both Mikan and Hirasawa Ui.
However I prefer Ui over Mikan, because, well.. Mikan is just a hot sweetie, can’t resist..
Ui is more calm, I think. She should be #1.
Well, actually, we can count on Dorami. Unlike Doraemon, Dorami doesn’t bring out gadgets that might fail or do hilarious things.
Im surprised Miina is included in the ranking when she is actually a stranger, not the little sister of Maiku! Karen Onodera is the little sister!
Mikan and Ui FTW!!
and also glad that someone remembered Sakura!
C’mon! Sankaku!!! This list was SO close, but you can’t have a responsible little sister list without YAKUMO!!! It’s just not done!
Ui is the best. Most reliable imouto ever!
And yeay for wincest. 😛
u’r crazy, Sakura should be first >=(
kyon-kun denwa
No Yakumo from School Rumble? I am dissappointed. =<
:O!!! No Yakumo from School Rumble!??? wtf?
NIshishishishi Yes!
And Sakura in another list?! Wow…
Where’s Minato from Akane Iro??
She SHOULD be on the list, she can do almost everything, not to mention shes voiced by SanCom’s Favorite Seiyuu
Chiaki: Bakayarou!
Miya: Nishishishi~
Miya: BAKA NII NII!!!
Miya in the list!! Nishishishi
Who the fuck doesn’t love Mikan ?!
agree Mikan = win
Rito. At least not in wincest way.
Definitely agreeing with Mikan and Chiaki.
One of the few lists that aren’t retarded. <3
I can’t believe people remembered Sakura…
Yay Mikan and Sakura!
I will never forget Sakura. T_T She was a paragon of awesome female heroism in an era when being a Magical Girl wasn’t dark and depressing.
There’s no way the girl who made me realized that magical lolis in blue harlequin leotard are hawt and boobs aren’t necessary on main heroines to be erased in my mind..
Orange flavoured Marshmallows are the best, especially if you have them on bed.
Kinda wished Kurosaki Ichigo’s sister (not Karin, the other one) to be up there though. Ah well, Sakura’s in the list :3
Mikan is win after all. I’m going to say I’d depend on Kirino after how she acted in Volume 8 of the light novel. It was a nice role reversal from the typical tsundere relationship. I guess not many people know how that actually went, though.
I approve on number 1
CCS Sakura. ‘Nuff said.
Mikan!!!
But I agree that this list needs more Yakumo.
Of course I have to put in a vote for Ayuzawa Suzuna.
Mikan!!
I agree that this list needs more Yakumo though.
I saw the title in my RSS feed and thought “Mikan better be on that list.”
Mikan imouto is best imouto.
mei should’ve been higher but other than that i’m happy to see sakura, ui, miya and mikan. miya stands out in a way though… hehe
Dorami…DO WANT!!!
I was kind of expecting to see Yakumo from School Rumble…
No Yakumo? Who the fuck came up with this list?
Tsukamoto, I assume? Good call.
school rumble has not been relevant for the past five years. in fact after the way it ended it officially never existed.
hey here’s a cool arc, harima yakumo and eri in the same house with tenma gone.
OH WAIT QUICK FUTURE ENDING IN TWO CHAPTERS.
GOOD LIST.
Mikan #1 as it should be.
Chiaki is boss.
Nope I’m pretty sure it’s Kana who am boss
Dorami. Yes.
Where’s Sora!? I can always count on her for instant fap material.
You can always count on Sora for a blowjob, now that’s what I call a supportive imouto.
yeah she should be in the list too
Mei is only 10th?
What is this… She deserves to be higher.
Love Mikan
How can you not love this precious imouto who is in a special relationship with Golden Darkness?
By being a soulless shell, that’s how.
Wow! Mikan at the top! Now that is one time I agree! MIKAN FTW!
Mei pwns all
love to eat tangerines b4 i goto bed
Remember to peel them slowly and lick up the juice. The tangerines will thank you.
Would be perfect if you pour Golden honey on tangerines
I like Ui, Miya, Mei and Sakura (for nostalgia’s sake). Since they are on that list, it’s k 😀
Mikan FTW
Dorami??
She got a really big hole…
Where’s last order?
Maybe Misaka Imouto she got guns to back you up in case you’re in trouble.
Fukou da.
Templar Related problem
*roll eyes*
Just what kind of trouble do you plan on getting into?
*Strikes with paper fan*
technically not an imouto by standard definittion
and reliable i wouldnt think so
The first imouto I thought of was Yakumo Tsukamoto from School Rumble =P
YaY!! Mei is there 😀
Mikan single-handedly made me a lolicon.
“..single-handedly..”
Woo, that’s hawt.. Oops sorry, I read that as “Mikan gave me a handjob.”
She’s still going to be delicious when she gets older. I want to see Haruna with longer hair too.
R u ESP? 😐 U read my mind!
Miya <3 the best 😀
I am pleased with this list, glad Chiaki is high above too.
Junichi must be the luckiest guy in history, not only does he have all those girls lusting after him, he also has Miya as his imouto.
Aren’t people afraid of Chiaki’s idiot filter?
I think Baka nii-chan falls under that.
Pfft, I’d be Nanashi niisama, you can be another bakayarou.
Where the hell is Ako and Riko?
They’re no imoutos, they’re onee-samas.
I’m shocked by so much ignorance.
Riko is the younger sister of Ako. Whether or not she’s reliable is another story.
Yume Miru Kusuri’s Aya
hands-down beats every imouto
There’s no anime, though.
WHY ISN’T UI IN 1ST?!
Yeah, Ui should be in the first place. She´s reliable imouto!
cus Mikan is sweeter ;p
Agreed. Ui is Sister Extraordinaire
Cuz k-on is ghey an so is it’s fans obviously >.>
Where’s Kirino? She’s dependable!
…yeah, dependable on making you angry.
seems like people dont think tsundere imoutos are reliable. ;p
Imako-chan would like to join in to counter that argument.
this site is getting really boring, no news anymore
