Smash or Pass

Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail)

Chiaki Enno (Demon God Child Zenki)

Ochako Uraraka (My Hero Academia)

Aoi Sakuraba (Ai Yori Aoshi)

Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail) - Smash

She might not be my favorite Fairy Tail girl, but I won't lie and say I don't find her super sexy most of the time!

Chiaki Enno (Demon God Child Zenki) - Pass

Never watched this anime and don't know anything about her, but from her picture she isn't my type.

Ochako Uraraka (My Hero Academia) - Pass

Not exactly my type. She is also like a child in my eyes for most of the series so yeah, pass.

Aoi Sakuraba (Ai Yori Aoshi) - Pass

Don't know much about her as I have never seen the show, but from what I saw online she's apparently very devoted to her husband and I won't get between that.

Ai Yori Aoshi at 20: The harem anime that almost broke the mold

Content Warning: abuse, classism, biphobia, gender essentialism

Spoilers for Ai Yori Aoshi

Audiences return to certain genres because they’re drawn to something familiar and consistent. When audiences pick up a harem manga, whether it’s a realistic rom-com or an isekai epic, they expect something that fits the mold: one protagonist, usually male, surrounded by several possible love interests. Usually, it’s well-telegraphed who the “winner” will be early on, but each character brings their own quirks to the table.

When Love Hina reigned as the most popular harem manga around, the anime adaptation of Ai Yori Aoshi debuted. The series, for many, was a breath of fresh air. There was only ever one core romance in the series. The “harem” is less a collection of potential romantic leads, and more of a found family who stumble into hijinks and melodrama.

Ai Yori Aoshi in many ways feels distinct from the tropes established in titles like Love Hina, despite being a contemporary of it. When revisiting it twenty years later, is this some diamond in the rough, or a relic of an era long past?

Live Audience Ranking

Note: this only includes the LIVE audience of the performances in ep3+4, plus the additional 3,000 bonus votes. Whoever won out of the two groups that performed the song got 3,000 bonus votes.

Second note: These are essentially useless rankings as they weren't actual fan votes submitted online/through mobile.

Third note: Tumblr hates ties in lists. Use the vote count to determine a tie. Most everything from rank 36 onward is a tie.
