That's how all the lists have been. That's how all the lists will be. At least it's more varied than one WSJ character after another for the male list.

I like Shana from Shakugan no Shana. Her hair's black (in her human form).

As for the boy with black hair, I didn't pay much attention to 'em. :/

Hmmm what exactly is Hinata doing is this list.....

even i am wondering about that cause if i recall her hair is gray , not black.

I do not watch Naruto but in all of the drawings that I have seen she has black hair with highlights that range from white to dark blue.
She is a rather popular subject for fan art on some sites.
Is her hair different in the show? Does it change?
I am just wondering why there is even any room for debate about a character's hair color.


her hair color does not change, and its more like dark blue/dark purple ish. but yea she really is a populair subject for fanart.

I'm waiting for the green-haired character list if it hasn't already been done. I'd be mighty upset if Lum from Urusei Yatsura and Milia from Macross aren't on it!

A list for 1990s characters (hair-neutral) might be interesting. Would it just be dominated by Eva with some CCS?

I dunno, I'm kinda torn between Ai Enma, Rei Hino, Tomoko Kuroki or Mikasa Ackerman or Akemi Homura myself.
Why is Rei Hino not on the list? Sailor Mars is awesome.

I'm a little surprised Homura is that high up. I know the Magica franchise is still very popular, but to me she always felt like the least popular of the five magical girls among Japanese fans.

Still don't understand Japan's love of Mio Akiyama. Even though she's probably the least bland cutesy character in that show she's still pretty bland and cutesy. Not a lot of personality or development either really.

Probably just another case of character polls seemingly being based around irrelevant factors like series popularity/hype and the characters status on the cast depth chart (Main down to tertiary) rather than individual evaluations of characters role/development, level of detail in the design, personal preference etc.


So because you don't like the character, others who do are simply wrong and "don't have any standards".

*SIGH* Rolling Eyes

The third Hell Girl series ended in early April 2009, just slipping beyond that boundary. Smile

I actually thought that Azusa will be the top one and Mio will be under her. So, I'm a little surprise to see Mio in top 1. Good for her. Laughing
