I struggled with the favourite cross-dresser survey... wound up choosing Kuranosuke but I also wanted to choose Shuichi and Yoshino (Hourou Musuko) and Hana (Tokyo Godfathers) it wasn't an easy decision....
Anyways, Cat Bus=Win

I'm so glad Gia has her own column now! I was very sad when she left anime vice, I loved reading her articles and watching her videos. I'm really excited for this project 8)

Kuroneko-Sama! I love my Kuroneko-Sama bobblehead.
Ah, transgendered characters are a subcategory of my one-true love in life, the subject of physical transformations, shapeshifting, etc.
Gotta pick Kuranosuke from Kuragehime, one of the few true crossdressers on the list. I love Shuichi of Wandering Son but he's really a transsexual in the making.
Hope my being a stickler for true definitions doesn't annoy anyone.

For me the jiji in Kiki's Delivery Service would be my first pick for an anime cat.

PS:Chiyo-chan's Dad should have been No1 since he's voiced by Wakamoto. |
This is the truth. Anything Norio Wakamoto lends his awesome voice to wins by default. This should be an undisputed fact in the anime kingdom.

+1 to God from Pani Poni Dash, and Chiyo's Dad for first place. |
There's something wrong with admitting to watching Da Capo? But I kinda liked Da Capo And Utamaru was a weird looking cat. I don't think he had any legs, did he?

Indeed. It seems Gia is saying she'll count votes in this thread, so I'll definitely cast my vote for Hideyoshi.

I'd like to say that this post was interesting because it's adorably pointless, I can't. It was neither terribly inspired nor well written, evidenced by the fact that it left out many more interesting candidates mentioned here. It looked more like a random post on a blog than an article on ANN. I was expecting more elaboration on what made these cats stand out among anime's hunreds, like how they all can talk, but a certain cat can't (Admit it, 90% of them talk).
Actually, all these entries seem to be invariably the most popular in anime (well, except for No.8) and ranked in weirdness only among themselves. Blair and Yoruichi weird, seriously?
This has nothing to do with the fact that I hate Yoruichi to death.
Anyway, the poll seems slapdash. If not discriptions, at least give us pictures, else this'll turn out ot be a popularity contest. Is this actually part of an article?

I approve of this because black cats are super cute. |
Calico cats are associated with good fortune in Japan, so those are relatively popular. It's the preferred colour for Japanese Bobtails. They are a pain in the backside to draw and animate consistently though. Black cats are much easier to draw and they fit the supernatural vibe half of those shows have going on.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. Both that President Aria would have made my list, and that with all the Bizzare cats in anime, this could have been a top 20 and still listed really good choices.
(Oh, and "Hello" to Gia!)

I'm happy to see someone mentioned Kyaa from Please Save My Earth!
I could find the crossdressing poll to be extremely offensive, but instead I'll cast my vote for Isabella from Paradise Kiss.

I've only seen a few of the series in the poll, so without pictures, no idea how they rate. I wanted to vote for Johann (Monster), but alas, not there. He has, perhaps, the most unusual reasons for cross-dressing.

Ryo-Ohki from Tenchi Muyo, and her twin Fuko from GXP... I know it was hard to cut the list down.
I think I'm voting for Yoroichi from Bleach myself... the amusement at how uncomfortable she makes Ichigo is great and the side funny of SoiFon having a fetish for black cat goods... I like it. |
Actually Ryo-Ohki and Fuku are "cabbots"
