I think it's a splendid idea, truthfully. Especially because even as I've grown more accustomed to becoming a regular seasonal watcher since I slowly started embarking on that in 2020 and then plunged into it in full with gusto in 2021, to me the best - my favorite and the most emotionally resonant, significant, and meaningful to me which have shaped my experience with and outlook on anime, as well as the value I've derived from it the most, are the what are now older series, and by extension, the writing, music, and characters, among other things, from them.

As I keep saying, I actually need to watch substantially more 90s and even genuinely older series like a lot more 80s and 70s stuff, but the 2000s and the 2010s are really a world apart, my favorite decades in anime, and the ones I feel most confident choosing from (early to mid-2000s I think in particular is like my happy place and comfort zone).

I nominate:

1999 and older:

Natsuki Sasahara, from Hyper Police (1997)
https://myanimelist.net/character/11010/Natsuki_Sasahara

2000 - 2004:

Kagome Higurashi, from Inuyasha (2000)
https://myanimelist.net/character/1354/Kagome_Higurashi?q=kagome%20hi&cat=character

2005 - 2009:

Rena Ryuuguu, from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni & Kai (2006)
https://myanimelist.net/character/1427/Rena_Ryuuguu?q=rena%20ryuu&cat=character

2010 - 2014:

Sunako Kirishiki, from Shiki (2010)
https://myanimelist.net/character/30477/Sunako_Kirishiki?q=sunako%20kiris&cat=character

2015 - 2019:

Shiki Magata, from Subete ga F ni Naru (2015)
https://myanimelist.net/character/132999/Shiki_Magata?q=shiki%20magat&cat=character

Please let me know if I ran afoul of the rules and set parameters in any way as from my understanding these nominees should be eligible and valid under the criteria.
@WatchTillTandava You're were a little bit late to nominate Rena unfortunately.

Oof, thanks for informing me promptly. In that case I'll swap out that nomination for another club member and Hinamizawa resident, Rika Furude, from the same series.

https://myanimelist.net/character/1534/Rika_Furude?q=rika%20furu&cat=character

In such cases it's a handy thing that I have three Higurashi girls in my Top 20 on the character favorites list. I love Rika almost equally but just in different ways. Less as the ideal "waifu" type and more like an object of awe.

Thanks for the tag :) by "continuing" do you mean some super long on-going series or something?

By premiere date do you mean the date where the character first appears in anime? Since Mikasa is in 2015-2019 but her premier was in 2013 with AoT S1.




1999 and older: Nausicaä from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
2000-2004: Boogiepop from Boogiepop Phantom
2005-2009: Ayumi Yamada from Honey and Clover
2010-2014: Ohana Matsumae from Hanasaku Iroha

Hmm... Maybe a better choice would be to increase the number of participants to 64 in each era, but that would be an overkill.

@Auron nope, anime premiere date. Mikasa was in different seasons so her eligibility is more flexible.

@5hadow17 Well if that is true then @nirererin should change his nominee. Although I'd like to remind you that if she ends up getting a winning place in the current seasonal BGC she won't be able to participate here.
@Shizuna I’m pretty sure I added Mai’s name first in my post, and you know I keep updating continuously. It’s hard to name five characters at first glance when some are already nominated. However, replace this one https://myanimelist.net/character/67769/ with Mai.
