Ok, the list is somewhat wtf... I mean
1) Sheryl. Ok I like Sheryl, true, but top 10 of the decade? >_> Not sure. I suppose it's a vote to the franchise's best decade girl rather than a vote for Sheryl herself.
2) Shinky. My favorite RM doll but female of the decade?
3) Saber. Not sure how Saber made it on the list, not that she's bad, but I fail to see how she could top females from other series.
Basically the only ones I can see being in that list (whether I like them or not are)
1) Random Gundam girl(s). Gundam is big (for good or ill) so there was bound to be someone there, the same way Macross is big enough to warrant a Macross girl.
2) C.C. Series Mojo... no wait, Lelouch mojo, there's no CG without Lelouch anyway. Personally I like her enough, she's this decade's favorite witch and the usual Lelouch partner so I suppose she shares some of his immense popularity.
3) Haruhi. I'm generally against Haruhi, her insane hype and mostly her uber-retarded fanbase, but her name became big news for whatever reason.
4) Senjougahara. The insane success of something unfinished, only a weirdly delicious female like Senjougahara could make it happen. Not that the other girls weren't nice. That and Arararararagaki is a nutcase himself.
Seriously, where is Konata????? She is THE GODDESS
This list has a huge lack of Ryougi Shiki.
Hmm... it's as if they don't even watch anime...
Speaking of which where the fuck is yoko and revi?
uh wait what?! Where is Horo?? And what the hell is Yuki Nagato doing there?! omg..
Pointless list is pointless. I wonder why so many guys measure their own worth by affirming that their favorite characters are in some dubious list.
Hmmmm.... for the lulz I guess.
The list seems pretty biased toward shows that just came out. This is why 'x of the decade' should get released a decade later to see what we really remember.
My faves on the list are Sheryl, CC and Saber but where is Aisaka Taiga? This list is a crime against tsundere!
Tsunderes are a dime a dozen. They have become token characters in just about every show and those formulaic tsunderes become boring. Oh, you know those. They beat up male characters for no apparent reason only to go blushing a few episodes later when the male characters save some stupid cat.
Only the different ones get remembered, like Haruhi and Senjogahara.
WHAT, No Ryougi Shiki?
This list is shit ;-;
wtf this is the the 2nd time i see this here.
it's suppose to be Top 10 Female Characters of the Decade,but 2000-2010 is not a decade if you did not know ....again wtf
2000-2009= last decade
All you people saying "omg where's k-on" and all these other characters, Newtype is a Sci-Fi anime magazine, which is why there are higher ranking mecha anime characters than moeblobs.
Or to put it more bluntly:
THE MAGAZINE IS NAMED AFTER A TERM FROM THE ORIGINAL MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EXPECTING IT TO PANDER TO THE GENERAL MOEBLOB OTAKU?
Because of the naming of the list.
At least now we know why it's bullshit.
Man personally i just think this is all wrong. *nods*
Yes! YES!! Nagato Yuki and Senjogahara! There's still hope in this world.
Have at you, K-ON!!
Haruhi should be 8th...
The lack of moe-blobs is disturbing.
.
where's my Shanaaaaaa
And yea, Sakura Shinguuji is a <3 <3 <3
I don't understand the appeal of Yuki, she's a monotone, robotic empty space
It's the Rei-clone appeal.
Isn't that what all men want?
Where the fuck is Yuko from xxxHolic.
i dont give a rats ass about all these characters
lacus and cagalli is still there? amazing...
I dont like nagato.... she should not even be on this list <_< I dont mind the others because some I dont know and have nothing against but really nagato? Haruhi is cool nagoto is not. Nagoto is a just a failure and Tenshi happens to be the successful one.
hmmm replace nagato with someone like nami.... they are going by popularity so she would be up there... I would personally nominate Ami Kawashima ... xD OMG that swimsuit episode at her retreat jesus . phew that was intense xD <_< runner ups would be Taiga and Mena Tepa.
Moeshit.jpg
I don't see any of my Female favorites there >_>
*Sigh*
Sakura(sakura taisen) made it onto the list? That's pretty surprising. Good for you sakura.
Is this the decade of the Tsundere?
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagisa!!!
i find #6 to #10 more interesting than Haruhi and co personally, , but otherwise i more or less agree with this ranking...
Macross and Gundam being both old franchises that still have a huge success nowadays they kinda deserve their place there also.
yes gundam is #
In my own list ..
1) Horo
2) Sheryl
3) Senjougahara Hitagi
In random order.. The rest didnt matter.
REMOVE CAGALLI!!!! >_> WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE???
She is only awesome.
where the fuck is rei
She from the 90s dumb Fuck
where's my Rena Ryuugu and Rika Furude? =3
lol, just lol
Mecha-Fanboys sure like to rig votes.
no top 10 TRAPS of the decade?
I am disappoint.
Blasphemy.... enuf said
Cagalli ROCKS
what???? Senjougahara Hitagi 9 place o_O haruhi 5 O_o, CC sixth place its obiously a bad count!!!!!!!!
you must be crazy for validate it!!!!
newtype is a LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. Shinguji Sakura
FOOK YEAH
Since it's NewType, Gundam series characters take the top, even though the series is now several years old.
Shinku... isn't she getting old for a doll to be on the list?
Yuki and Haruhi still that high after Endless Eight? Apparently they need to crash back down to earth...
The list is JUST! ALL HAIL THE LIST.....
Is what I should be saying.... but Cagalli??? On the top of the list??? Oh well.....
Wish Saber had been higher and/or Rin was on the list. Don't much care for Gundam girls but yay C.C. and Haruhi (I know she's unpopular on this site but she's ok.)
that list sucks a lot like shit.
those list are always shitty.
CAGALLI at #1?!
She's not a bad character, but she's hardly anything special! This is why you can't rely on these polls to give a decent opinion.
At least it wasn't fucking Lunamaria...
Nice to see Hitagi make it in at the end there. But I'm kind of surprised Rei didn't sneak in again for appearing in the new Evangelion movies.
Also surpised to see Sakura there. She's hardly a memorable character after all.
where the hell is Mio?, well at least senjougahara made it
