Fave Anime Girls

I have always been fascinated with female anime characters who possess strong qualities and not the usual girly type. Although there are some remarkable girly or pretty and damsel in distress type of anime girls, I am not really interested in watching love-related anime series; well, it depends on the storyline and my mood, of course. But in general, I really like girls or anime girls displaying unique kinds of characteristics.

I have watched several anime series in various genre or category; from action to comedy and even drama or romance. Though I fancy anime in general, not all series are able to capture my interests. There are anime shows which I tried to dig but ended up with just a few episodes. But whenever I get hooked into a particular series, I just cant get enough of it.

Now let me share to you some of my favorite anime girls. The following are not the only ones on my list. I'd keep on making a list of my faves until I'd run out of names to mention (lol). Here are the first four female anime characters that really captured my heart:

Shihouin Yoruichi

She is perhaps my most favorite female character in anime; the coolest one to boot. She's shrewd, she's funny at times despite being serious. She's just the apple of my eye. Though she kind of looks like a lesbian seeing her attachment to Soi Fon (or maybe Soi Fon's the lesbian! lol), she's actually a teaser. Her physique is amazing, love that catly eyes and the way she moves in every aspect. She appears to be very independent and reliable whenever her comrades are in need. She's one hell of a courageous and gorgeous and steamingly hot anime character.

Shihouin Yoruichi is an important character in the Bleach anime/manga series. Though you cant see her at times (and seen her first as a male-sounding cat), every time she's around, things are really gettin' smokin'. And there are many mysteries surrounding her that are yet to be uncovered. Bleach is one of my top picks when it comes to an action with a twist of comedy anime.
 

Nico Robin 
Nico Robin is the quiet, reserved and kind-of-intimidating crew member of the Strawhat (Mugiwara) Pirates in the One Piece anime series. She rarely shows emotions or displays outburst of emotions. And whenever I can see her smile or giggle, I just like her even more. Among these four female characters I've listed in this first batch, Robin is perhaps the calm and silent type. Unlike Cagalli or Fuuko (the outgoing and vocal or open types of girls), Robin would usually choose to stay silent unless when asked.

She was actually one of the villains - even referred to as a demon child. But eventually, she became attached to the whole crew as she felt the sense of belongingness. While she doenst call the entire crew by name at first, she then begins calling them by name after the incident where everyone tried to save and bring her back to the ship. Robin eventually realized that she doesnt care about what happens to the rest of the world as long as her crewmates are safe and happy. And she is the most, or maybe the only one who is, patient and tolerant twards Luffy's behavior and impulsiveness.

According to E. Oda (creator of One Piece), Robin most resembles a crane which is represented by the color purple (the usual color of her outfit), and she smells of flowers (maybe because of her Devil Fruit ability/power). She appears calm but would sometimes point out morbid or creepy thoughts and ideas. Her calmness is likely a result of the childhood that led to her life of hardship. She speaks only if something noteworthy happens. What I really like about Robin is her outstanding knowledge, especially in history. She tends to become unmerciful during battle, maybe because of her violent past and being alone for a long time.

Cagalli Yula Athha

The first four female characters on my list seem to belong on the "girl power" attribute. Cagalli, from the Gundam Seed/Destiny series, is one of the stubborn and full of will yet dazzling and graceful-if-need-be girls I found in the world of anime. A lot of anime girls are like her; but she has unique traits for an anime character, that somehow resemble those of real life determined women. 
 
She has this convinving power and whatever she does or say would usually end you up listening all eyes and ears to her. She's like a rebellious princess. The moment Cagalli decides on doing something appropriate despite the trouble and danger that might befall her, it doesnt matter as long as she can achieve her goals or when she's trying to help save her friends. 


Fuuko Kirisawa

Fuuko is the loudest girl among these four; I think so (lol). Not the irritatingly loud and talkative one; but the most frank and open towards her feelings; always showing an outburst of her thoughts and emotions, particularly when it comes to her anger, jealousy and stuff.  In terms of women fighters, Fuuko is perhaps one of the best. She's agile and skillful. She can compete in combat despite her being small and sexy. wew :D

Fuuko or Aira is the boyish childhood friend of Recca, from the anime series - Flame of Recca. Perhaps Fuuko has this special feeling for Recca that she became obsessive with fighting him so he can be her ninja and she as the princess. But of course, Recca chose Yanagi. And that's the reason why she got so furious; Yanagi got Recca as her ninja without even fighting him. As a result, Fuuko was driven off by her jealousy which eventually led to a series of unfortunate events. But since Recca is her friend; she was able to get back to her proper senses.
