Well I suppose its time to cement my rank amongst the ranks of the biggest Japanophiles of the weeaboo tribe by posting my top 5 favorite chicks from anime/manga of all time. So here we go...
#5: Nami (One Piece)
Nami is in here almost as a token representative of One Piece. One Piece just happens to be my favorite manga of all time so I figured a character from the series really ought to be on the list and who better than Nami, one of the earliest characters to be introduced. She acts as the voice of reason amongst the ranks of her completely moronic crew even though her words of wisdom often go completely ignored.
So sure she comes off a bit naggy and she isn't all that great at combat but like I said, One Piece needs to be on this list somewhere so boom, Nami.
#4 Enma Ai (Jigoku Shoujo, Hell Girl)
She is Karma incarnate into a cold uncaring minion of Hell. Make someone hate you enough and they can access the Hotline to Hell website where upon entering your name and hitting submit Enma Ai will appear before them handing them a doll with a string around its neck. Untie the string and you've earned yourself a nice psychological torture with a trip to Hell following immediately after. Of course the person who cursed you pays a price. They go to Hell as well upon their deaths having cursed another.
Its not an easy job. Sure sometimes the person deserved it but that's not always the case. Sometimes a nice hardworking kind caring loveable person who never wronged anyone in their life gets sent to Hell over petty things like jealousy but Enma Ai must carry out her duty regardless of personal feelings.
She comes off as cold and apathetic at first but slowly you can begin to see how much her job hurts her as well as the citizens of the world.
#3 Mikuru Asahina (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi)
Me and a friend came across a famous dance that all the hardcore cosplay weeaboos know and love and it turns out to be from the end credits of this series. We looked it up on animeseason.com and the description was outrageous. So outrageous in fact that I decided to watch the first episode expecting to be laugh at a horrendously bad series.
Well I laughed but not because it was bad. Far from it actually. This series blew my mind. Not only was it hilarious but it also had some awesome Matrix-reminiscent mind exploding plot that just might make you question reality. And then on top of that it had some fighting. And it was good. It was great. I dropped my jaw because I had set the bar below sealevel and it soared above it and went beyond the stars.
And of course Asahina is a major source of the hilarity as she is literally kidnapped and forced to join Haruhi's club. As if that weren't bad enough she essentially gets enslaved and is subject to the will of Haruhi no matter how questionable it may be. All the while being very cute and sympathetic and you just kinda sit there going "aww poor Asahina 
"
#2 Lucy/Nyu (Elfen Lied)
Ever since watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and practically oozing hapiness from every oraface every time its mentioned I've picked up this somewhat questionable fascination for stories in which everything goes as absolutely horrible disgusting and depressing as (in)humanly possible and boy oh boy does that describe Lucy.
Having had a rather miserable past due to her horns and powers she grows up to be a psycho ***** to put it nicely. The opening scene of the show/manga is her breaking out of her containment and casually strolling out of the lab slaughtering everyone who had the poor judgement to be within eyesight. But a poorly placed bullet to the head causes her to lose her memories and develop a second personality, one that is essentially a baby having no idea how the world works or how to speak.
Well the drama created between her past that becomes reveled over time, and when and where she will switch personalities creates a fascinating and heartwrenching story as well as hugely interesting characters and interactions between them. This is one of my all time favorite series. It was so good I watched the whole series then immediately went and read it as well.
#1 Yomi (Ga-rei Zero/Ga-Rei)
Yomi isn't my favorite anime girl of all time. Yomi isn't my favorite anime character of all time. Yomi just might be my single favorite fictional character from any medium, ever, period.
Never in all my days have I become as attatched to any fictional character as I became to Yomi. And the surprising part is Ga-Rei Zero, my introduction to her character, isn't even that long a series as compared to others.
Ga-Rei Zero acts as a prequel to Ga-Rei. My introduction to the series was the prequel and I think that's the way to do it as the manga almost seems to expect you to understand their backstory. And what a backstory it is.
Over the course of Ga-Rei Zero Yomi and Kagura as well become incredibly well characterized. Its almost like Tarantino in rather than focusing on the girls in action all the time you see lots of the characters just spending time with eachother in their daily lives and as a result of all their conversation and interaction, acted and portrayed flawlessly, they grew on me. They grew on me a lot. Not just Yomi but Kagura as well but Yomi gets to be on the list as I like her more and her character is more dynamic.
I won't give away any spoilers but I grew very attatched to Yomi and it was all the more depressing when her fate takes a turn for the absolute worst. I would even go so far as to say she recieves as fate infinitely worse than death and I was genuinely upset over it. To this day when I read the manga every time she's mentioned I go "omg noooo Yomi "
She's just so well characterized. She's got all the craziness most anime characters have with quasi super powers but she isn't infallible and she acts like a real human which is probably why I'm so endeared to her. She's realistic and loveable and the events that lead to the end of the series really made me truly empathize with her and feel for her character, not something easily done.
She's a great character and I highly recommend the series to anyone and everyone who hasn't seen it.
And thats the list. I can't believe I actually did this blog. Damn I'm a nerd.
