To the girls: What type of girl characters do you like?

Postby Puguni » Sat Dec 30, 2006 6:42 am

This spawned from an ongoing observation that us girls often differ on the kind of female anime character we like. I'm just really curious, not trying to bash anyone's choice!

It seems I like anime girls who are innocent, but not ditzy or clumsy. I also can't stand it when the girl is portrayed as totally helpless or stupid. They have to have a degree of independence themselves, or at least not extremely reliant or clingy. They can't be highly emotional either. Weepy girls are not cool! :d There are exceptions, but that's the basic gist of it.

I like girl characters that are cute, shy, smart [read allot of books] and maybe have some painful memories. That’s my ideal girl character. I don't like airheads, girls that are unnecessarily noisy or are really happy/perky.

Do you find your self worried alot of the time about things that don't always make sense?


Are you experiencing any of these?
• Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability or anxiety
• Overreaction to irritations
• Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed,
• Sleep too much, or sleep too little
• Unexpected loss or gain of weight
• Tiredness or restlessness
• Slowed movement, thought and/or speech
• Guilt, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness
• Inability to concentrate and poor memory
• Loss of motivation
• Feelings of hopelessness
• Suicidal thoughts and/or behavior
• Withdrawal from relationships, anti-social behavior
• Physical aches and pains that seem to have no other cause

If you have a few of the symptoms on this list, you may be suffering from a form of clinical depression there are many sites that offer advice and help.

My fave anime gals are Akane (Ranma 1/2), Kiyone (Tenchi), Hilde (Gundam Wing)...just any gal that is tough, but sometimes shows her sweeter side. Tomboy-ish, I guess. And when they have a temper, 'tis kinda funny XD Just as long as they're not jerky all the time, lol

I don't like girl characters who dress slutty. :[ Even if it's just for fanservice, and the girl herself is perfectly nice, it ticks me off.

Other than that, it really depends. I don't really like most of the girl characters in anime. Miyazaki does a good job, though.

People writing songs that voices never share

I like girl characters who are tough and slightly malicious/somewhat evil and scheming. Also should have a degree of randomness and spunk.
