For me, this is going to be my list of anime waifus, it's not going to be a certain number or anything, so don't expect a top 10 or whatever. Nah, this is just going to be ones of mine that I find "desirable" in some fashion whether it's personality or looks or both; probably in a simple bullet form list and including a video of something cool if I can find it.
- Strong
- Powerful
- Knows what she wants
- Friendly and funny
- Can be vulnerable & weak despite her strengths
- Beautiful long, blonde hair
- Great eyes
- Other "assets"
- Incredibly, genious level IQ, smart
- Loves Dr. Pepper (so she auto shoots up to S Class Waifu level because of that)
- Long flowing, great looking red hair (red heads are my favs)
- Her grey eyes are so nice
- Her tsundere moments are fantastic; which lead to fantastic moments with Okabe Rintaro and the other Lab members
- Very caring, even though she wasn't cared for much as a child because she was a prodigy
- Generally a grounded person despite being so smart and put on pedistal
- Incredibly stong-willed
- Very no-nonsense
- Intelligent
- Strong but has a few vulnerable moments
- Her drawings make me laugh, they are absolute trash and ridiculous
- Her sword techniques are awesome
- Passionate sense of dedication to those she holds dear (Ichigo, Renji, Baykuya, etc)
- Original hair Rukia is cool, short-haired Lieutenant Rukia is BEST, and long-haired Squad 13 Captain Rukia is worst (so she has different designs with my favourite being her Lieutenant look featured above)
- Has a weakness for cute things (demonstrated in her use of bunnies in those ridiculous drawings and in her fight during the Fullbring Arc)
- Crass
- Loud
- In your face
- Takes absolutely no shit from anyone
- Committed to her work (despite it not being legal but still)
- Covered in tattoos
- Very very caring and protective if she likes you
- Any girl that can dual-wield Baretta 92F Cutlass Custom pistols and pretty much any other weapon known to man including grenade launchers and RPG's is an S-tier waifu for me......so much firepower
- Despite being very dense in certain situations, she has moments of intense clarity and can come up with great plans, even though most of them fall apart and it just ends with shoot your way out.
- Absolutely caring to a fault
- Believes in those around her
- Really cool blue hair
- The whole maid thing
- A genuine person, who makes good and bad decisions constantly
- An absolute monster in terms of how strong she is; and you'd never see it coming
- Her attitude is often what keeps those around her, particularly Subaru, going despite the problems they're having. No matter her own situation and problems Rem brings a positive outlook and levity to the room she's in.
- I feel awful for how badly she was shafted in her confession of love towards Subaru, c'mon everyone loves Rem over Emilia
- Her absolutely give no shits, smug attitude is amazing
- The devotion and love she shows despite her somewhat cold disposition is admirable; for instance, despite being much weaker, she will do anything and everything to protect her sister Rem
- Her weakness, being a hornless demon, often gives her strength to be a tougher person (even if she has some vulnerable moments)
- Her nicknames for people are classic (Barusu, Garf, etc)
- Rem is the more commanding sister, she takes the lead in things despite not being able to match Rem in any way
- She has cool pink hair
- Also, like Rem, the maid thing
- Is very smart and comes up with good plans to help Subaru with his many, many problems
- Loyal to her friends and most importantly her brother Kirito (the whole crush thing aside)
- Is a skilled fighter and always has everyones back in any situation (also is in the real world with Sugu's kendo skills)
- Friendly and open to all those around her. Kirito the Spriggan, the Orc in War for Underworld; random people she comes across all find Leafa to be a friendly and open person right away.
- Has one of my favourite designs of all the Sword Art Online girls (not just her "assets" though that adds to it) but the cool outfit, the long blonde hair that's accentuated with the leaf, her cool katana like sword, the green fairy wings of the Sylph
- Leafa/Suguha is a very ground person, who learns to be completely honest with herself, her feelings, and understands what she means to everyone
- She is part of the reason that many people gain the strength they need, the willpower they need, to continue fighting
- Incredibly genuine and down to earth
- She is a loving and understanding person. (Despite being brushed aside, I feel that she loves Kirito much more than Asuna but understands she's not the choice)
- One of the more adult characters, by that I mean she is responsible and mature especially in comparison to Asuna who is childish, Silica who is a child, etc
- Well-spoken and able to rally those around her
- Awesome short pink hair (short hair is cool, colour even better)
- Not only top-notch fighting skills but someone who has a high quality profession (blacksmith)
- Understands the value of money
- Puts her heart on her sleeve regardless of what it is for.
- Definition of badass woman
- Is the strongest female (not titan) in Attack On Titan; actually one of the strongest people in general in the world
- Only cares for the safety of others (specifically Eren) and little for her own safety
- Every look Mikasa has had has been awesome (her long hair, the short hair, and her newer look from later in the manga)
- Her trademark scarf she got from Eren while they were young has such a tremendous story and it's absolutely incredible how she's clung to something so sentimental for that many years.
- Mikasa is absolutely shredded ripped and that's awesome, like one scene in the anime and manga shows her working out, girl's rocking a solid eight-pack abs then pulls up into crazy punches and stuff
- Being an Ackerman, she is inately talented in killing just as her distant relatives Levi and Kenny Ackerman are
- Just her badassness is an amazing thing in its own
- While not the strongest ghoul, she does conduct herself strongly and does not hesitate to kill when necessary
- She willingly sticks her neck out to help others in need
- A very friedly person and kind elder-sister figure to the younger female ghoul Hinami
- While she did initially have reservations about Kaneki, his half-ghoulness, she grew to care about him more than anyone so his betrayal hurt like that of her brothers (especially with them being on the same side now)
- Loyal to her famiy and her friends; even to her brother who betrayed her and left her alone. Also her growing bond with Kaneki kept her loyal to him despite his betrayal and eventual loss of his memories (once he remembered everything and they were united it was great)
- Touka is also a very sentimental person, wishing to continue her mentors coffee shop after he was killed in a fight and the place was destroyed in a raid.
- Her short blue hair is super cool, especially when you pair it with her ghoul eyes
- Also her attitude is admirable (including forcing herself to eat human food her friend made her, despite it making ghouls ill, just because it was stuff her friend made her)
- The Empress of Annhiliation, so she even has a cool nickname
- The younger sister of the current devil, she's next in line to be Lord of the Underworld
- Values her friends and family above all else and will not let any harm come to them
- Very affectionate person
- Very patient person (she doesn't complain when the other girls make moves on Issei, she doesn't complain about Issei being the way he is, she just takes things in a simple calm way)
- Long, flowing red hair (red hair man, it's awesome)
- Very, very strong though she only has to show it on a few occassions as most fighting is done by the members of her household; but there is a reason she got the nickname she has.
- Other "assets"
- Starts off cold and uncaring but instantly warms up to people when Yukihira breaks her out of her shell
- Her nickname, "Nikumi" really pisses her off but at the same time since it says she's a meat expert she appreciates it. (And because Soma gave it to her)
- Is very lovey-dovey, you can tell by the way she acts around Yukihira that her personality is this way though Food Wars hasn't set up a situation where she has a relationship to play that out
- Nikumi's look is that of a model, her short blonde hair, tanned skin, big green eyes, her "assets" and she definitely accentuates it with what she wears which is usually just jean-shorts and a bikini top. Even while in cooking competitions that look remains the same.
- Slowly Nikumi grows to care about all those around her, especially the misfits from Polar Star Dorm, she is despite being a part of a major food company dynasty knows she is a misfit herself.
- Nikumi is just generally such an awesome female character and funny to watch
- The weirdest introduction to one of the Nisekoi girls was that of the so-called boy Tsugumi; when she kept being mistaken for a boy Chitoge made the call to give her a blue-ribbon for her hair so it never happened again
- She falls in love with Raku in the most innocent way, he is the first person to ever see who was known as this "bloodhound" for a gang as a cute girl
- She is incredibly loyal to her friend/boss Chitoge and all of their friends
- I found a lot of what is endearing about Tsugumi has to do with the fact that she is dealing with such complex emotions, things she's never felt before, in such an innocent way and you know that nothing good will happen from it but you can't help but root for her the most of all the girls
- She is the best looking/designed character in Nisekoi (her simple designed hair, with its dual-colours, its blue ribbon, the choices in design for everything else is such a stark contrast to the other "generic" characters)
- Tsugumi is a crack hitman with a massive body-count so despite her looks she is an absolute beast. Like she's beyond a strong female character, she's a killer that makes men shake in their boots.
- Flugel are by far some of the coolest looking things in No Game No Life. They have angel wings and almost electronic looking halos. Jibril's in particular glows blue and is an interesting looking design, she has furry long ears, and wings that sprout from her lower back.
- Jibril was once an unstoppable killing machine (which you see in the NGNL Zero movie), so to see her become what she becomes is jarring
- She is beyond smart, as with the Ten Pledges the Flugel had to turn from merciless killing machines into people who devoted themselves to collecting knowledge.
- She has a tendency to be a bit, forward, with how she thinks as she feels like she is above most creatures and treats those below her with a smug and condescending fashion (except Sora and Shiro, the only humans able to best her)
- Her way of speaking and her voice are incredibly cool
- I love the long pink hair and her eyes with the crosses in them are incredibly unique
- She has other "assets" as well
- One of the scariest waifus on my list, a lot of people would say how can you add someone of a yandere fashion, someone quite literally psychotic and be okay with it. Well here's my reasons
- First off, Kurumi is by far the best looking character in Date A Live, and that's a show where the main premise is dating these Spirit girls to seal their powers and they try to make each one unique and good looking.
- I absolutely dig heterochromia; people with two coloured eyes are awesome. Granted one of Kurumi's is a clock that is part of her power but still, the red and yellow eyes are so fuckin cool.
- I will once again bring forth the twin tails
- Her way of talking is so interesting
- Her mannerisms make her an intriguing character
- You can never quite tell what she is thinking. Is she fully bad....because she seems to help the good guys quite a bit.
- I think a lot of Kurumi's good outweighs her evil
- Incredibly devoted to her "darling", so much so that she tried to become more and more human to be with him
- Her design is awesome: long pink hair, devil horns, and her eyes are super cool where they are a mixture of green and red with red outlines, just awesome
- Zero Two's attitude can be seen as harsh, but from her perspective it is normal, one where she puts herself and the one she cares about first and no one else
- She is a very care-free person
- She accepts people for who they are (once she begins to understand humans) because they are accepting of her klaxosaur-ness
- That love she carries with her is very important to her character and what makes her special
- Devotes herself to her friends and those she considers to be family
- Understands what it's like to be a misfit
- I really like the streak of red in her black hair
- A lot of people say "oh it's only possible to like Ryuko if you enjoy fanservice"; I disagree
- Both with and without Senketsu, Ryuko is incredibly strong (physically)
- The tough as nails, tomboy-ish attitude Ryuko carries herself with is awesome
- She is a caring yet not-caring type of person
- The absolute archetype of the tsundere (which as a type may be insufferable in real life but you never know)
- Is a very intelligent person
- Incredibly serious when it comes to her skills and learning magic
- Strives to be the best in what she does
- In tsundere fashion, once she decides she's warmed up to you, she is very accepting and caring
- Her dynamic with most of the characters she interacts with in the Fate series is amazing, particularly her....eventual boyfriend Shirou
- Rin rocks twin-tails with awesome like aquamarine eyes.
- Her outfit and design is just top notch in general with the red and black as well
- Even if she is outclassed by those stronger than herself, she remains steadfast
- Fate's re-written version of King Arthur, the most powerful knight and King in British history (fictionally)
- Honest
- Loyal beyond reproach
- Honourable (refuses to take the easy way out of a duel she has with Lancer for the sake of both their honour)
- Absolutely loves to eat, like she always enjoys a good meal, to the point that in the side-story franchise for Fate where they just cook one of the most endearing parts is whenever Saber eats the whole screen gets flowery and glows
- Saber wields the Holy Sword Exalibur and is able to take down massive foes in a singular blow making her incredibly strong, one of the strongest Heroic Summons in Fate
- Saber's cute factor comes from many things, mostly her traits as her actual combat face is shown most of the time, it's a lot of the side Fate franchises like the cooking one and Carnival Phantasm that give you a look at the funny and interesting Saber
- Diane is hundreds of years old but is still looks like a 20ish year old
- Since she's a giant, she's super tall and tall girls are cute
- Due to Merlin's magic she has the ability to be either her normal giant size or can shrink to human size
- UBER strong, she always has been and when she is passed the title Leader of the Giants she learns moves that make her even stronger (tough chicks are awesome)
- I am a big fan of twin tails
- Diane cares greatly for all her friends, especially for those she holds most dear (King, Meliodas, etc)
- Kind of an airhead
- Other "assets"
- Awesome looking character, she's super cool, pink, alien looking but even though she's all of those things she is still a normal person
- She has sick and crazy dance moves
- Sticks up for her friends
- Incredibly friendly
- Never stops smiling
- Very cheerful
- Surprisingly clutch in hero situations, very quick to improvise, never falling behind the "tough boys" like Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki
- First off, she is the ultimate badass mom
- She understands the value of money (she was willing to take a dive against Hercule to get money despite how strong she is)
- Incredibly devoted to her family and friends
- Super strong
- Very intelligent
- Doesn't underestimate those who seem weaker than her (including her husband Krillin)
- The definition of the "cool beauty"
- Badass blonde
- Great design for her character, my favourite being the jean jacket look but even the "I don't care tracksuit" look is neat
- Tamaki's character design is awesome (whereas all other Special Fire Force members are always shown in typical proper attire, Tamaki's design allows for the design you see in the picture above)
- Her third-generation pyrokinetic ability to turn herself into a fire-cat, giving her cat-like reflexes and doing whatever else it does to control fire is an interesting design and concept
- Her lucky-lecher thing provides a lot of comic-relief and a lot of fanservice because it puts her into a lot of funny situations where she ends up in "less than she should"
- She's very strong
- Is trying to always improve herself to better both her and those around her
- Cares deeply for those she likes (Iris, Shinra, other Squad 8 & Squad 1 members)
- The cool older sister type character
- Absolutely a beast in terms of strength (both literally and figuratively)
- Her beast form while using her Imperial Arms is super cool, giving her lion-like features, making her incredibly strong, and giving her a healing factor. Kind of like Wolverine without adamantium
- Leone is a very protective person and does whatever necessary to protect her friends and loved ones
- Once driven to the edge to protect people she becomes absolutely ruthless
- Super funny
- Always encouraging those around her
- Like Akame says, "Once Leone makes up her mind about something, you can't change it"
- Toga's look is crazy cool (her awesome eyes, the haircut, the costume she wears)
- Speaking of crazy, she's crazy (it's okay to have a bit in your space)
- She's very diligent in her work
- She is very caring/helpful towards her friends (when Overhaul kills her friend, when the heroes hurt Twice she bandages him up, and there is a point later in the manga which is absolutely devastating when she loses a friend)
- A "smidge" possessive
- I might be stretching for reasons I like Toga as a character, I just think she's cool
- "Slightly" crazy (she does try to staple Araragi's mouth in the first episode)
- Devoted
- Caring
- Funny in a dry-humor sort of way
- Really cool purple hair (I like purple hair)
- Very smart and is able to deduce most things around her, with the exception of a few supernatural things
- The famous Senjougahara head-tilt
- A very reserved and quiet girl to a fault, so much so that she has a cat-form alternate persona Black Hanekawa to let her frustrations out
- Incredibly smart
- Very helpful
- I really like her post-Tiger design from the Tsubasa Tiger arc with her black and white hair; which became a mix of her normal black hair and the white from Black Hanekawa's hair to show she'd accepted both sides of her personality finally
- Other "assets" and such give Hanekawa a great design
- Also the line, "I don't know everything, I just know what I know" is pretty awesome and catching
- My favourite Monogatari girl
- Kanbaru is athletic and into tons of sports
- She's incredibly tough
- She is a girl who constantly. picks on others in a fun way (if she likes them)
- Her jokes are amazing
- Having a crazy cool monkey arm underneath her bandaged left arm is pretty sweet
- No matter which Monogatari series design, Kanbaru always seems to have one that I enjoy
- Reserved personality (quiet and shy)
- Has a large amount of affection for her Koyomi-oniichan
- Very nice, short brown hair (pretty cool when it's white and made of snakes too)
- Likes to draw manga
- Is a "sort-of" snake goddess, so that's pretty neat
- A well-balanced character with interesting quirks
- Also "sings"/is a part of one the two best intros in the Monogatari franchise
- Many ask if I prefer Kiss-shot or Shinobu, answer = they are the same person so the argument is not valid
- She goes out of her way, despite "hating him", to help Araragi with his problems which proves she cares about her friends
- A friend who is always there
- Tough as nails
- A vampire so that's always cool
- Treats her master (Araragi) as still slightly lesser to her but only in a teasing way as she knows she is not the Kiss-shot she once was.
- The fun loving, younger Kiss-shot/Shinobu has an appreciation for the finer things in life AKA donuts
- Older Kiss-shot is an incredibly vibrant individual
- No matter which iteration, each version of her has a unique critical and condescending attitude that is fun despite it being harsh
- The way she talks as Shinobu is super cool and Kiss-shot is also awesome
- Crazy name
- Crazy, over the top personality
- Willing to do whatever to prove her Explosion magic is the best
- The clothes and design make Megumin awesome
- She is willing to help others despite being somewhat selfish most of the time
- Puts up with immense amounts of trash from Kazuma
- Has a cool cat named Chomuske
- Shy
- Quiet
- Enjoys history
- Likes listening to music
- Very nice long red hair (again red-heads FTW)
- Her reserved personality is precious and part of what makes Miku so great
- Once she breaks out of her shell she has no problem trying to do her best to accomplish her goals
Because most people won't agree on things, so don't call what other people like trash, some people like peas and hate carrots and while they are wrong I'm not going to argue with them or call it trash. That's their opinion, same goes with this.
As for the other picture, yes, most people with a people brain realize they aren't real and never will be real. That's not the point. It's more of characters we find to have characteristics that we find unique, desirable, interesting, etc. it doesn't have to be weird and you don't need to criticize someone for liking certain things. Like the advice from a seasonal girl says below...................
