Gundam SEED doesn't have characters. It has character concepts. It doesn't have characters themselves. Most "characters" have no discernible personality past their basic use in the plot.

This is why CE era Gundam is so soulless and leaves zero impression.


Well shit tell us how you really feel about Gundam Seed.

Fairy Tail's Elizabeth


Elizabeth is from Seven Deadly Sins, as is Diane, who came in first that particular year.

No mention of Rem in the 2010's, "list" is bad.


Kinda hard for her to appear on lists in years before the anime aired.

Saw this long ago. Dat Hirai domination. Also, disappointed my waifu Kallen wasn't there.

I think "2010's" means series from 2010 - 2019. Just saying.

I'm not sure why you think a series from 2016 could ever be included in a list of annual polls taken every year from 1983-2015.

Faye Valentine appears? I thought Bebop was a miserable failure in Japan? Or at least so everyone likes to tell me.

The lack of presence of Makise Kurisu or Homura disappoints me greatly. Rikka appearing almost makes up for that, almost.

Still I find it amusing that you can pinpoint the year of the moe invasion.

It sold really well on home video: http://www.someanithing.com/312

I think it just makes Cowboy Bebop even better for some being a show that failed in Japan. The iconic masterpiece that failed in its home country but fount success in America.

Lucky that Akari-chan from Battle Athletess Victory made it in. Anime catgrin


OK, now that is awesome. People back then actually watched the show! It needs a license rescue, badly.

The last five years include mostly girls from series with a large number of female fans, possibly a reflection of the changed subscriber base of the magazine.


And there's the reason why the one main girl of Free! gets a top spot while none of the girls of Love Live! got even a mention in this "list". Probably made the real list somewhere but then I'd... have to remember their names.

It helps if you have the graphic open while reading but there's not exactly an elegant way to embed it.


If your blogging platform allows it, you could place the image inside of a responsive div with overflow-y set to scroll. It ought to be straightforward to implement, so you might want to discuss with your tech guy about it.

Also, to my memory the Grand Prix has traditionally had a male category as well, so they're really more like character popularity charts (I guess it just feels kind of anachronistic to think of the classic female characters as "waifus", since I don't think that was really the mindset behind it).
