In terms of development and characterization, who is your favorite "emotionless" female character in an anime? That's the best way I could describe it, but it refers to a common anime stereotype of a female character that often shows little to no expression or emotion, but gradually warm up, or make amusing gestures.

This thought came up on a survey for a similar topic, where the two most favorite characters of this stereotype were nominated to be Kanade from AB, and Nagato Yuki from the Haruhi media franchise.

Akira, School Rumble.



She's so baddass that simple 2D sketch drawing doesn't make her justice.

And also, Rei, a classic and one of the most influential characters. And Yuki, her comedy in the series is a safe bet for me. And I think Lain could be labelled as that too.

I seem to have a soft spot for this character model. Specially when it's brought for absurdity and comedy.

Ayanami Rei, for no particular reasons, other than what i felt that the intricate role her character was associated with in the series was way pivotal than any other emotionless character had with his/her series, as far as i've seen

Rei fans gathered in one place , this feels overwhelming .

I don't really like them. Slightly off topic, but why do so many look similar?

Examples: Nagato, Tabitha, Rei to some extent.

O pitiful shadow bound in the darkness,
Looking down upon people, and causing them pain
A soul drowned in sinful karma...

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

What's the rules? No facial expressions etc?

Anyway, truly emotionless, I don't know. Someone not showing their emotions, maybe Inaba from Kokoro Connect or Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari, I think they fit pretty well.
