Continuing the tradition from last year, a poll was conducted recently by recochoku on the top 10 anime characters otaku want to marry. The poll is divided into two categories (male & female). Here are the results for this year..
First up, the ladies~ Starting with no. 10
10. Soryu Asuka Langley (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
9. Hirasawa Yui (K-On!)
8. Sheryl Nome (Macross Frontier)
7. Dokuro Chrome (Katekyou Hitman Reborn!)
6. Nakano Azusa (K-On!)
5. Nagato Yuki (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
4. Kuchiki Rukia (BLEACH)
3. Aisaka Taiga (Toradora!)
2. Katsura Hinagiku (Hayate the Combat Butler)
1. Akiyama Mio (K-On!)
Unexpected? I was surprised 3 characters from K-On! managed to reach top 10 in the poll despite being a fairly new anime. Also didn’t expect Rukia to be so popular among the Japanese. Hinagiku at 2 is no surprise as she was last year’s no. 1.
Now, what about the female otaku? Let’s see who are the guys on their list.
10. Hijikata Toshiro (Gintama)
9. Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)
8. Kurosaki Ichigo (BLEACH)
7. Sawada Tsuna (Katekyou Hitman Reborn!)
6. Date Masamune (Sengoku Basara)
5. Okita Sougo (Gintama)
4. Rokudo Mukuro (Katekyou Hitman Reborn!)
3. Hitsugaya Toushirou (BLEACH)
2. Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
1. Kyoya Hibari (Katekyou Hitman Reborn!)

Sorry for the lack of pics, I’ll add them when I can. It seems the list is dominated mostly by Reborn! and Gintama. Very interesting, I expected more entries from shoujo manga.
Mine should be Iriya Kana (from Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu) but seems she’s not popular enough…
Azusa-chan beat Yui!? >_<
I’m surprised Mikuru is not in the list.
Optic´s last blog ..Alter Nanoha, GET!!!
@Samejima
That show was on my to watch list before, but I never got to watch it in the end -_-;
@Optic
Me too, I knew she was a favorite, but didn’t expect Yuki to be the most popular choice of the SOS girls.
Well the anime girls I wanna maried was not on the list, but here this is the one I like it: Rider from FSN or Yukari Yakumo from Touhou (any come first XD)
@pus2meong
Good choices~
Hmm… mine would be either Chika Ogiue or Rei Ayanami… or Saber ^^
@lightningsabre
Rei used to be on these kind of charts all the time but haven’t seen her lately for some reason.
MMmm Saber..
; A ;
Why are almost half the male characters from Katekyou Hitman Reborn!?
I mean, Kyoya Hibari, yes, but definitely not first place D:
I’d say Gilbert Nightray (Pandora Hearts), Kaoru Hitachiin (Ouran), Xerxes Break (Pandora Hearts), or Hei (Darker than Black).
