Most Attractive Anime Characters poll 2014: where do I start

[VanQ]

Still, when I see a show that advertise purely on moe and nothing else, I will be weary to see if it has anything else besides fanservice

But if it's advertised that way then why should it had anything else going on? If the is supposed to be moe and it indeed is that then it has accomplished what it had tried to do. Job well done. Why expect it to be something it isn't trying to be? That's like expecting good gunplay from Telltales Walking Dead games.

Moe and writing quality are not mutually exclusive with writing being able to enhance it's "cute" moments by providing context and substances to it while with the Walking Dead, gunplay would take away from the experience.

All I ask is for a moe show to have the bare modicum of writing. The recent Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace had that so why shouldn't I hold other shows to a basic standard.

Have you tried Hanayamata? It's a moe show with some of the most well written characters in recent memory.

Well, there's also that hot little crab.

[sub]Nice!!![/sub]

LOOK AT THIS CRAB! That's one sexy beast of a crab! A crab so smexy it destroys all negativity in a wave of orgasms! All hail the crab sex god!

Paras is not a crab. Paras is a Cicada nymph.

This is all I can contribute to this thread.

If you ask me, Paras is no where near high enough on the list.

Best girl by far last year.

Fucking Asuna bullshit though... Is she even relevant any more? Stopped watching at episode 16 of the original because of the icky gross fan-service-y direction it was taking.

So... any theories on why she got first place while that hawt piece of Cicada nymph only got stick with 19th? Asuna isn't exactly a beacon of infinite pure charisma.

Just the facts first.

-Kirigaya Kazuto is the only one on both gender top lists.
-Shiba Tatsuya surprisingly has more male voters
-Sakura Chiyo and Tsunemori Akane surprisingly has more female Voters
-There are 16 Characters in the male list that made it into the big list
-There are 14 Characters in the female list (Kirito is in both)

So, the only thing strange in the big list is still Shuu Tsukiyama from Tokyo Ghoul, he didn't make it into either gender top 20s but was #23 with 251 Votes total.

Aesthetically, I prefer anime characters with smaller eyes, narrower faces, lips that constitute more than a single line, & larger noses, preferably from pre Y2K series. Everything on that list was pretty fugly to me.

And next year's list will be filled with battleships.
