Now this some BS right here. I only throws in waifus from anime that were popular lately. Like honestly Sakura from FSN has no right in hell to be on the list when people like Saber, Rin or Illya exist (not to mention countless other waifus from Fate) and the same thing could be said about Hanekawa. And Chise.....she literally hasn't done anything yet to be deemed a waifu, while I do like her character she shouldn't be here!! And if Asuna and Rem really were such good waifus they would have topped the Kono Light ga Sugoi rankings (and they didn't a #1 there even once!)

Chise is Elias's bride...

Also Sakura would be an objectively better wife than the King of NEETs or the notoriously broke Rin.

Shocked Guys, Sakura is too young for this
Lolicons are allowed to have waifus too, you know. Personally, I think Sakura is the only decent pick on this list. All the other picks are so safe and predictable.

You google fu is weak ANN, here is the rest of the list (to the chorus of Here Comes the Bride):
15 Rei Ayanami「Neon Genesis Evangelion」
16 Yuki Nagato「The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya」


1 Yuki is an expy of Rei so it's hilarious they're exactly next to each other.
2 Suddenly I get what Japan wants out of a waifu. Passion? Why have that when you can have quiet obedience?

But Mori Mori? I like the pick but outside of her being from a recent show, this is not what comes to my mind when it comes to Otaku Japan... Sadly, Card Captor Sakura and Fate Stay Sakura are. Though Mori's very low on the list so there's still no hope for them yet.

She's in middle school in the sequel, elementary school in the original.
Well that makes it a lot creepier than what I thought.

17 Kaban「Kemono Friends」
It is surprising that Kaban made it on the list but Serval did not.

Nice to see Vigne made the list, though a great wife in the sense of being Gab's wife. Smile

And ours by posting about it. Wink

Seriously though I am continuously amazed at the sheer ire and disdain so many show over trivial lists like this. It simply boggles my mind how people get so worked up over imaginary lists of imaginary characters. Just enjoy your waifu and leave it at that. Simple.

Good luck to all those who chose Re:Zero's Rem(I'll take the Rem from Trigun, personally) on actually surviving long enough to catch her interest.

Among many others, the lack of a Mafuyu Oribe, Lucy Heartfilia, Satellizer L. Bridget, and Kallen Kozuki imakes this a failed list to me.

I don't know about you, but I don't want a wife who beats me senseless every time I say something that slightly embarrasses her.

Disappointed at no Kallen from Code Geass in the list. She is #1 waifu.

Interesting to note that Sakura is the only one from the 90's era.
