Who is number 6 ? Watched all of Yuru Yuri, I can't remember this character. Guess it's a translation error.
no. 6 is blank
These polls... seriously... I know they all suck, but the least they could do is not skip a number!
I've never watched Yuru Yuri and I recognize that name, she's a supporting character, sister of one of the main characters I believe.
I guess you guys didn't get Anon 08:14's joke...Akarin is always being made fun of IN THE SHOW for being all transparent and unnoticable despite being the main character (yes, she IS the main character, that's not debatable, as it's official). Anon was adhering to that. Hence why everyone upvoted him. I can't believe you guys missed that, you need to have your joke detectors fixed. :-/
your 90% couldnt exist without the 10% right? poor thing....
I'm 90% sure the majority of them were going along with exactly that on-going joke of series, though the 10% remains.
...No she isn't >.>
Unless you were trolling... :P
She IS the main character (arguably), though she has an older sister, yes.
Akarin
Does Japan know what a heroine is?
No, they only know what submissive women are. I.E. their idols, porn stars and general state of women in that country.
Have you ever seen Kuroyukihime????
no.. but i saw a kuroyuki-fattie.
I do agree, these characters don't really fit my ideal of a heroine...
Which are usually pretty strong characters.
Then again, by what I just said does not fit with the Japanese ideal of a woman.
I haven't seen all the animes on the list, but I know Chitanda (Hyouka) isn't really a heroine, more of the driving plot device.
more like chitanda was the evil antagonist, dragging innocent people into her games of fancy and fits of endless curiosity.
Just call it 'female protagonist' and go from there.
Words can have more than one meaning. According to dictionary.com, the word heroine can mean, among other things "the principal female character in a story, play, film, etc.".
Where is Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-Pass?
Morgiana! :D
Well this list is a steaming pile of dog flop.
It's always that way...
Frau Kojiro from Robotics has to be No.1, Duhuhu.
unless 2chan is in charge of the listing.
She is too similar to the 2chan inhabitants to be voted, I guess...
Surprised that Inaba from Kokoro Connect didn't make the cut.
(Best girl! Pyon~!)
we've already established this: sankaku top something lists suck.
Morgiana best girl <3
I guess my tastes are completely out of tune with Japan's... I only have 3 or so 2012 anime ladies that I like, such as Fujiko Mine and Rias from Highschool Dxd. None of my ladies are even in this list XD
Hands-down, Chitanda is the TRUE heroine for all time. She's going to save her town, Japan, and world with her farming skillz. If you lot had watch the last ep, you would have known.
2. Asuna
Well, in the first half of the series, at least.
No Mikoto Urabe of Nazo no Kanojo X.
Guess you can't read.
I'm a KyoAnifag but even i had to "Spock eyebrow raise" at Chitanda getting the top spot.
Wow i just really REALLY finish Accel World....
Whatever happened to their cum sleeve Nyaruko?
#24 isn't the heroine though...
I beg to differ. She protected raccoon boy....

... and she can kick yer arse!
Which still doesn't make her the heroine.
Their definition of heroine may be a little loose. I'd like to fit Nate Mitotsudaira in there somewhere.
this list is booooooooooooring! where are Twilight Sparkle,Pinkie Pie,Rainbow Dash,Fluttershy,Ratity,Applejack those are my heroins. You lack all the creativity!
Akari! Akari!
Hey! You're doing it wrong, it's:
Akarin~!!!
No Watashi is just plain stupid. She was one of the strongest characters of the year.
Koko
Nyaruko
Ichiko and Momiji
Marika
Koko
Watashi
Yuno
Madoka, Muginami and Lan
Literature Girl
The girls with Panzers
Koko
3 times koko...
Because we need her in the list 3 times more than any other.
are you going into a war ? having a weapon delivery not 1 time .. but 3 times....
Yeah where the fuck is Koko?
No Motoko Kusanagi.
That makes this list automatically reclassified as "Top 25 Dakimakuras!"
I'd want a Motoko Kusanagi dakimura
but anyways, she wasn't in any 2012 anime, right?
Solid State Society 3D was released in 2012 if I remember right.
spin offs dont count
