Anime otaku forced to rank actual anime otaku, NEETs and other such objects of scorn by their “loveability” reveal that Konata is now less popular than a fat man.
1. Itaru Hashida (Steins;Gate)
2. Konata Izuma (Lucky Star)
3. Kuroneko (Ore no Imouto)
4. Kohta Hirano (Highschool of the Dead)
5. Origami Cyclone (Tiger & Bunny)
6. Keima Katsuragi (Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai)
7. Alice (Heaven’s Memo Pad)
8. Kirino (Ore no Imouto)
9. Shiro (Arakawa Under The Bridge)
10. Jintan (Ano Hi Mita Hana)
Whether Konata’s fall from grace can be attributed to Hirano’s antics or simply to an innocent lack of interest in a fairly moribund franchise looks open to debate.
i find it weird that in an article that also covers neets they totally forgot
Tatsuhiro Satō from welcome to the nkh
an anime that follows a fucking neet for fucks sake -_-
!EDIT! after posting this i saw that others think the same :> !END EDIT!
no one from genshiken?
Kuroneko ain’t otaku at all. Where am I on this list?!
Konata in second?
HAHA.
All Hail Keima!
Isn’t Gintoki (Gintama) an otaku as well? Phail that he isn’t in the list >_>
wat da pack? SODOM should be number 1! he is the ultimate NEET and OTAKU!
Satou > All N0000bbbbzzzz!!11
No Kaiji?! Kaiji is the best NEET ever!
Hello? Can Keroro come out to play?
LOL I guess they like to choose someone who’s most like themselves by the look of it. But then again only weirdos like that would wear sandals with that outfit
Konata’s surname is NOT Izuma – it is IZUMI. FAILCOMPLEX!!!
“Anime otaku forced to rank actual anime otaku, NEETs and other such objects of scorn by their “loveability” reveal that Konata is now less popular than a fat man.”
Because whether he’s fat determines if he’s a good character or not.
Wow.
The System of this japanese site’s pole is.
– Someone make up a thread about what this pole is about.
– Anyone can make up a candidate.
– Anyone can score any candidate.
And for this pole Madarame is 18th.
Fraulein Haruka is 15th.
Fraulein Nagi(Hayate no gotoku!) is 23th.
And someone from [Eden of the East] is 27th
Genshiken????
if no more heroes were made anime, travis would be no 1
nagi sanzenin where?
Hashida Itaru is considered NEET? No way. He goes to the same university as Okabe. It even says so in the anime and game. -_- Well I would consider him I guess very Otaku like but I don’t think he’s very NEET like.
But Daru deserves my respect. He’s bad ass though. He gets a girl builds awesome gadgets. He is God.
Ho Ho Ho! Kuroneko proves her dominance over Kirino once and for all!
I mean, what?
But she still lost THE GAME 🙂
RUMADNOW? 😀
No Panties from Higashi no Eden/Eden of the East?
This is exactly what I was thinking. Panties is one of the ultimate NEETs even amongst all of the others!
omg Daru!
No otaku no video???!
WTF?
OTAKING = #1
Alice shouldn’t be on the list… She isn’t a need or an anime otaku
No Panties from Higashi No Eden? He was a NEET god.
NEET != otaku
Alice at number 7?! She turned being a NEET into a friggin’ profession for god’s sake!
That at least belongs SOMEWHERE in the top 3 O_o…
wow, no guys from genshiken..
Konata will always be my favorite!
I think it’s the other way around. The fact that Konata I on the list, and at second place at that, amongst characters from only recent anime series is a testament to her popularity and awesomeness, being able to stand the test of time and fickle tastes of many Anime fans. This is evidenced by the lack of characters from Otaku no Video, NHK ni Youkoso, etc…
Being ranked second behind a just-finished new anime is a “fall from grace” now?
I just like that Kuroneko out ranks Kirino.
Its amusing how easily satisfied you mortals can be….then again, our Queen is too high up for this list to show her true rank, so they altered it.
8 = ∞
Does Origami Cyclone even really count as a NEET or Otaku?
For one, he is employed. He is a hero and is sponsored.
And for two, just because his outfit says “Anime” doesn’t make him an Otaku or mean that he even likes Anime. It just means that the person signing his paycheck does.
You didn’t watch Tiger & Bunny.
Everyone just wanna go inside konata obviously and explore that little cave … * facepalm *
I so wanna Bang Konata right now
I wanna go in Konata’ s cute Cave !!!!!
I Will mine that cave minecraft style
No Genshiken = Poll is invalid
Please explain to me why no one from Genshiken and Welcome to the NHK were chosen????
GODDAMNIT SATOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
that’s Yamazaki for ya
The fact that Haruka isn’t on the list is somewhat of an injustice, as is the omission of Toshino Kyouko.
Trying to be Cracked, sankaku?
Daru’s pretty big…
No NHK or Genshiken?! FAIL
My bro is sometimes just too damn funny
What about Lolicon Phoenix?
Who? Phoenix wright?
Itaru :
and the mother of his daughter is …
Jintan? Really?
Initial d should have been there
No Satou Tatsuhiro or Kaoru Yamazaki = Fail list
Those two are the ultimate otaku in Anime-dom…
Kohta Hirana is a military otaku not your typical otaku…And is Jintan a real otaku? He was just depressed that’s why he became a hikikomori. He is not exactly obsessed with video games either more like entertaining himself to pass the time…Later on in the story, he even had several part time jobs and doesn’t even play video game or watch anime…So how can he be considered an otaku?
Jintan is NEETs
well makes sense, Daru is a awesome “Supah Haker” and developed a freaking time machine and one of the founders of a rebel group against a dictatorial government
Top 10 list Otsu!
1 Keima
2 Kohta
3 Hashida
4 Konata
5 Kuroneko
My top five. The first three got such a high place because their otakuness actually came in handy (potentially getting laid, surviving a zombie apocalypse, and hacking SERN respectively.) Konata beats Kuroneko so yeah.
I would have put Alice up there too but I dont like the thought of her beating Konata (she got first place among the females. :D)
Konata Izuma???
the nhk guy is true neet but not an otaku. not even remotely close ….
Satou is real Hikki and Kaoru real Anime otaku, and Misaki just a semi Hikki
Takumi instead Jintan or Shiro maybe?
Konata deserves first place.
wheres Tosshi from kintama <.<
No Otaking from Otaku no Video?!
She isn’t a NEET…
i’m just supprise kirino is on that list…
…beside she isn’t really a NEET. She’s a student, works part time as a magazine model and has a future as a track athlete. I’m still wondering if this list is supposed to cover “NEET Otaku” or “NEET Otaku and Normal Otaku”.
She definitely qualifies as otaku with her ero game fetish.
And her Meruru obsession. Seriously, buying four versions of the same DVD is a bit much.
Well, she actually has the income to support such a habit — so I suppose it’s totally justified..
Anyone who has ever laid eyes on either Otaku no Video, Welcome to the NHK or Genshiken, can mark this day, as a dark day in the history of otaku.
Amen to That! I was hoping I’d fine someone who’d mention Otaku no Video!
LOL True to all of that.
Supah Haker
Can you say
“Anata no banana, punyu-punyu da nette mite”?
Why the hell is Panties from Eden of the East not on the list
No Tatsuhiro Satou or Kaoru Yamazaki from NHK?
Blasphemous!
You guys failed to see the point “loveability”.
Sure Tatsuhiro Satou or Kaoru Yamazaki from NHK are NEET and otaku respectively but they are certainly not that loveable.
Daru on the other hand is revered as a role model otaku. As previously mentioned, he can build a time machine and got himself a busty loli wife. He deserves mad respect.
He is the pinnacle that all Otaku wants to reach.
(the very reason I even went into software engineering in the first place)
Thats exactly what I thought, before I even read the list.
I can’t agree more
Same, Hashida was one of my favorites from S;G because of how well he was portrayed.
genshiken is more realistic
And the list means Otaku and NEETs.
Genshiken fulfills more of the Otaku role.
Welcome to the NHK is more self centered about NEETs.
Genshiken is the happy otaku group/circle that does happy things about otaku stuff.
Welcome to the NHK is the depressing side of the fence, with the NEETs, hikikomori, otaku and the dame-ningen. the life style in which they live. And in some way bits and pieces can be related to the average otaku in real life, except none have a misaki to consul them.
what about the unwashed masses of eden of the east?
LOL THIS.
Welcome To The NHK’s probably too realistic for them to handle. lol.
Cute little girls will blindly get attached to you if you’re a looser neet, and your older class mates will fall in love with you because you’re nice to them (sort of)?
Yeah but no…
Nooo! My life long dream ruined! Welp back to bitch slapping my hoes. Gimme my money!
I beleive tris apply to Madarame and the Genshiken folks. Madarame’s speech about 2D and anime were awesome.
I find it interesting that Kuroneko is ranked higher than Kirino. Nonetheless, Kuroneko should rank higher.
Bullshit. Keima should be on every single rank on this list because he is THE God.
Oh and, Kirino let Kuroneko have 3rd place due to feeling sorry for her.
Yamazaki is a must; my favourite NHK character because he really tried hard to follow his otaku dreams and try to get into the industry, even if it didn’t work out as he expected.
There are many god-tier otaku in anime, a Top 10 list barely holds a small portion of them.
Sure….Mother of god, where is Satou Tatsuhiro???? You are really Blasphemous!
Satou should be the number one.
I agree #1!
I see that gundam & sorrorio didn’t make the list this tiem.
How can you like ANYONE from NHK?
I mean, I know the series is good and sort, but their personality is one big fail as human. Drugs, Hikikomori and everything. They might be good as a ‘character’, but not really ‘likable’ otakus.
that’s why the title says top10 otaku and NEETs, right? weren’t they jobless?
>the feel when I can related myself to Tatsuhiro Satou or Kaoru Yamazaki
>and it is not even in the list
Relatable and hilarious, certainly, but “loveable”?
I love the character and his behavior. It’s not just the appearance … and it’s more than appearance…
So is Daru loveable?
i doubt it
Dude can build a time machine and got himself a busty loli wife. He deserves mad respect.
Hashida was a pretty stale/bland character with a few good moments but i’m kinda surprised to see him up there at all. Yes where’s guys like Yamazaki?
A Time-Machine in his name isn’t enough?
Daru is just that badass.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36UIwONutmY
WTF Eden of the east!
Actually, that guy wasn’t into anime as much as he was into technology. Still, Pantsu is awesome.
Word. (spoilers) He not only de-hikkos himself for a worthy cause, but straight up survives an assassination attempt!
I’m really surprised that Konata didn’t win this easy. She’s a hardcore otaku AND she has a delicious flat chest. o_O
But she isn’t really a NEET.
Where’s Madarame?
Where’s Fujiyoshi Harumi?
Only ACTUAL Anime Otaku.
then u should have realized that Hirano Kohta is a Gun Otaku instead…
You’re right about Kohta, so they must mean otaku in anime, rather than ‘anime otaku’.
And Shiro from Arakawa is a… a… “White line otaku”…?
Where’s Yamazaki?
I know Yamazaki should be on there.
my thoughts exactly.
Failist as always.
FAT BITCH IS FAT!
Konata Izuma?
quite enough for me:
3. Kuroneko (Ore no Imouto)
To the people complaining about NHK…
Why?
NHK sucked.
3. Kuroneko (Ore no Imouto)
8. Kirino (Ore no Imouto)
FUKKING JUSTICE!!!
Mortal, you’re making us laugh our asses off because you’re so very wrong.
Be grateful non-believers, our Queen is generous enough to give your pathetic excuse of a side-character 3rd place on this list when it should’ve been hers!
WTF what about Yūko Ichihara from XXXHOLIC, her knowledge and fandom is far superior than all those on the list combined.
Not being able to leave the shop except for special circumstances and being hikki are not the same thing… besides it is otaku and NEET of which she is neither.
But Yuuko isn’t exactly a otaku, nor is she a NEET since she actually owns and runs her own shop. She ain’t a Hikki either, quite the opposite in fact.
