Otaku have voted to determine the top heroine of the anime season of summer 2012 – and there’s actually reason to rejoice as the ranking is favorable for the most part, with the first spot being agreeable and ideal.
First place has never been impeccable as this:
1.) Watashi (Jintai)
2.) Asuna (Sword Art Online)
3.) Akaza Akari (Yuru Yuri S2)
4.) Wakana Sakai (Tari Tari)5.) Inaba Himeko (Kokoro Connect)
6.) Oda Nobuna (Oda Nobuna no Yabou)
7.) Sawa Okita (Tari Tari)8.) Takenaka Hanbei (Oda Nobuna no Yabou)
9.) Millhiore F Biscotti (Dog Days S2)
10.) Lizbeth (Sword Art Online)
Taking first place is “Watashi” from Jintai – a female with a wonderfully witty mind, and admirably morbid attitude. Any who have watched a single episode of Jintai, if no more, should know that she’s clearly of a lofty and superior level of her own – a brave and adventurous heroine with quite a charming way of words. And on top of that, she’s a brilliant intellect – educated in many fields, and fast in thinking up reactions when the situation calls. Not only all of that, aside from being a genius with a lovely personality, she’s a delight on the eyes as well.
Essentially, Jintai’s lead female is what one would call “perfect” – and she indeed is deserving, and then some, of being ranked first in a contention as this, definitely being better than the rest.
In second, it’s unclear how a sack of garbage got separated from its friends and ended up on this listing of the top heroines of the summer season – yet Sword Art Online’s lead female certainly isn’t worthy whatsoever. She’s contributed little to her series, or anything in general for that matter – and boasts a banal persona true to the very essence of generic anime girls. Likewise, her appearance is amusingly unoriginal – and even side-characters of her series beat her out in any given category or metric.
Akkarin’s achievement of third is quite a gag in need of no explanation – one can’t exactly say she’s unfitting for the position of third, although it’s more of a joke than anything.
Tari Tari’s main female, who sits at fourth, is perhaps indeed entitled to a position top five – albeit only as summer hasn’t many respectable series, and subsequently, heroines to begin with. However, she certainly should not be over Kokoro Connect’s cute and pseudo-powerful Inaban – who ranks fifth. Admittedly however, while far less than she’s earned, at least she’s still within the top five.
As for the remainder of the list beyond there, it merely looks like a mess – the summer season is indeed, and unfortunately, quite lacking in terms of series and lovable characters.

Agreed. Watashi is the best female main character of all time.
Sep 15, 2012 @ 22:18 CDT
To this, I can only say “Tes”.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 1:16 CDT
Don’t you mean “Yes”
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:10 CDT
No.

Wow… The Underated anime heroine(Watashi) beat the overated anime heroine(Asuna)
Sep 15, 2012 @ 23:10 CDT
Humanity may not be declining after all.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 4:34 CDT
Humanity isn’t, but Anime Has Declined.
Sep 15, 2012 @ 22:53 CDT
I’d rank Inaba at #2 myself. At least Watashi is where she belongs (love her personality!).
Sep 15, 2012 @ 23:12 CDT
Watashi at one, and Inaban second would have been perfect – forget everyone else.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 4:34 CDT
Mybe in third could be Ichiko from Binbougami Ga!
Sep 16, 2012 @ 1:36 CDT
Watashi is the ideal heroine, one with brain, beauty, and a great personality. And she has good one-liners to boot.
The otakus have surprisingly good taste, albeit only for the 1st spot.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 2:01 CDT
Also, she is so awesome that she doesnt even need a name to get recognized!
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:12 CDT
It was an impressive ranking while it lasted.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:25 CDT
How could Akaza Akari be third, she should have been second. :(
Watashi deserves first place without a doubt.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:31 CDT
Just like in One Outs said “Nobody wins but “I”
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:45 CDT
There isn’t any number 3 in this ranking :D
1.) Watashi (Jintai) -> haven’t seen that anime so I can’t said nothing about.
2.) Asuna (Sword Art Online) -> yes… popularity… So sad, a generic character.
3.) eh, eh? There is nobody here…
5.) Inaba Himeko (Kokoro Connect) -> very good character even if she looks like a boy. But because of her personality, she should be second and Iori first :p
6.) Oda Nobuna (Oda Nobuna no Yabou) -> the same as Asuna. A generic tsundere.
8.) Takenaka Hanbei (Oda Nobuna no Yabou) -> yes she is cute, but otaku ranked her because they love scared little girls…
9.) Millhiore F Biscotti (Dog Days S2) -> Oh my god, it’s even worst than Asuna.
10.) Lizbeth (Sword Art Online) -> She is largely better than the SAO’s lead female. Her only episode have shown more love than the whole “thing” between Kirito and Asuna.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:46 CDT
“very good character even if she looks like a boy.”
Her oppai are certainly all female.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:52 CDT
“Her oppai are certainly all female.”
Perhaps she’s a trap??? :p
Sep 16, 2012 @ 8:57 CDT
Since when do traps have oppai?
Sep 16, 2012 @ 9:05 CDT
It exists, try to type it on Danbooru or Sankaku.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 12:28 CDT
The two Tari Taris should be swapped.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 12:29 CDT
I’d rather they be excluded.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 16:28 CDT
Nah, Sawa’s up there with Inaban in my mind.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 17:56 CDT
In oppai size probably.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 21:01 CDT
Inaban should have a rank of her own.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 12:38 CDT
Haha Asuna is 2nd because her design and character are all pandering to otaku tastes. Generic is what they like! (Not that I’d disagree with them) Haha, SAO was mainly a male wish fulfillment low calorie light novel that delivers what otaku want so I’m not surprised. A worthy first place heroine was choose though. Goes to show that pure otaku pandering cannot edge out quality.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 12:53 CDT
I’d disagree with them though.
Sep 16, 2012 @ 19:57 CDT
wakana made the list so im happy
Sep 17, 2012 @ 8:05 CDT
watashi…..*manly tears*
Sep 17, 2012 @ 9:29 CDT
I hope they make a figure of her – preferably in her bikini armor.
Sep 17, 2012 @ 18:15 CDT
Binbougami Ga! Needs more love in this site.
I’d be happy with:
1. Watashi
2. Momiji
3. Inaban
4-10: Who cares…
Sep 25, 2012 @ 8:36 CDT
Kinda fitting for Watashi if Inaban is rank 2. Same voice actress, she can easily pretend it is her partner in crime Y!
