Unlike one of my guy friends, I don't watch any PreCure (I tried) but I'm sure he would choose Cure Melody because he loves Suite.

For food, if I'm watching anime at night then a full meal (usually fried chicken & salad) but if it's in the afternoon, then nothing at all. I never really treated watching anime the same as going to the movies and snacking.

I'd love to know the turnout for the PreCure poll.

For some reason Minatsuki from Deadman Wonderland came to mind for this list for me, although it was blood and not her hair really, just came out where her hair is. Interesting list anyway.

Uh-oh, you forgot Shiro Magi from Zettai Karen Children... His entire psychic power is based on the carbon in his hair! HE CAN FLY WITH HIS HAIR AS WINGS.

Also, 1st generation Pretty Cure Black ftw. :3

Five of those seven should be taken up by Yu-Gi-Oh!'s protagonists. Laughing

I wonder of Niche from Tegami Bachi should've been on that list. She can do amazing (and amazingly destructive) things with her hair, and so can her sister (who is very much a side character in the series). Plus, she's pretty funny. I like her.

Thank you, that's who I was thinking about, sort of. Not her but Eve from Black Cat and Yami from Tu-Luv-ru. Or was it her entire body and not just her killer hair?

I picked Cure Black for the Precure poll, though i wish Cure Marine had been an option here. I'm not sure if she would be considered a co-lead in the same way as Black/White or Bloom/Egret, but i've personally always considered her as such. That said, limiting the poll to the lead cures is simultaniously a smart move and a bad idea. It's a smart thing to do, because you would otherwise have too many cures to choose from (though i'm pretty sure Cure Moonlight would have won by a landslide). It is however also a bad idea, considering most of the lead cures aren't nearly as strong as some of their team members. Most long-time Precure fans would probably consider Cure Moonlight, Cure Ace and Milky Rose to be the most powerful cures, yet not one of these is a lead character.

I was not surprised Sunny would be #1 on the list. There's nothing he can't do with his hair.

Except detect things greater than some distance away, apparently...though it's not consistent what his upper range is.

The thing about this poll isn't which Cure is stronger, in my opinion.
It's which lead would actually be willing to land a killing blow on an enemy. Of those, the only one I can see having the emotional fortitude to do it is Cure Black.

Although I suppose since Cure White is in the poll I dunno... Something tells me they would rather die together than kill each other.

The only thing I remember is the 1st PreCure series, the rest I have not seen yet, though its a long runner, either way, go with 1st gen B/W, though you can only vote 1 person. >_>

Anyways, Yura of the Hair (from Inuyasha) isn't on this list, really? (Would have thought to be a possible candidate.) >_>

Yura was a monster-of-the-week from an early part of the series, whereas these all seem to be either primary characters or major villains (at least of the ones I'm familiar with). Even Kumadori, who's just a flunky, still appeared in a number of episodes and had a drawn out battle.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the title for this was definitely Gon, but he doesn't really use it directly for battle, it's more just part of his appearance, so that probably disqualified it.
