I think it is 1:3 lmao.

Personality is 25%.
Body is 75%.

If I was a MAL Supporter (I'm not for various reasons) I would probably put Xenovia Quarta in my favorites.

I think they're both very important, not too sure about it, but maybe like a 60:40 or just even.

What comes to Ecchi anime characters, like the characters in Queen's Blade and Koihime†Musou, then my answer is probably the same. Body 75%, personality 25%.

If we are talking about CGDCT characters, then it's their personalities that matters the most.

100% personality, I don't care for a character who looks good but her personality is either insufferable or bland.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

probably depends on the character

but i mean all my waifus have the best personalites and appearances possible so it doesn't matter much

Personality 95%.
Body 5%

The main reason when I evaluate to liking character is their personality, but I do evaluating body with my personal taste.

I don't really want to say 50/50, but I think I have to, as it really depends on the characters. I think personality matters more to me, and I that counts for my 2 favourite female characters, as Rin is a little too skinny, and Junko seems to have a rather impossible body (although she really doesn't have any fanservice scenes to really tell). But there are some characters that have amazing bodies but bland personalities, but I still like them.

100% personality in general, but I agree with the 1:3 personality/body ratio if we talk about waifu material like Vermeil, best girl of 2022.

If we're talking about like as in find attractive I would say maybe 60% personality 40%body. The thing is theres an endless supply of brainless supermodels in hentai, S-tier body is very easy to come by, S-tier personality not so much. For that reason I value a hot personality disproportionately more. I think you can take a hot character, make them a bit uglier and still end up with a hot character, but conversely making the personality worse is kind of like changing the character, even a 'small' deviation may ruin the characters appeal.

Name one heroine which is ugly as fuck but well developed within this medium highly priortising sexualisation, then I can give you my ratio preference. For further objective reference.

I believe the more suitable term is fap material.

90% personality 10% looks. Rock Lee, Kaiji, Luffy and Inuyashiki all don't look cool, but are cool.

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong kind of "like" though. If we're talking sexually, idgaf, but if they look good I guess personality doesn't matter much, if they look meh personality could help, but then I don't watch anime for that anyway and haven't cared since I was a teenager.

70 % personality
30 % design

The design is at best supporting the personality traits and tries to reflect them in some ways (not too cliched and all, but at least a bit).
Most anime characters aren't made to be ugly either, although I personally don't think lot of anime characters look good. Most either have too much of a generic or baby face or both.

Maybe not to the same exact percentages, but I agree.
If the body design isn't there, her personality won't mean much.

Imagine how shallow we'd be if we did that IRL. At least for anime characters, we aren't "pigs" for doing it.

You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

Not at all, fap material is entirely about the looks. Otherwise I would have liked Marin Kitagawa just as much, but instead I find her mediocre.

Since this medium is oversaturated of copy-pasted cutboards trying so desperately to appeal the consumers, I believe the ratio must be at least 50:50 between characters(get it?) and appearance to be considered waifu material (even though I don't have one), but it's a difference in term of ideology, indeed.

I'd say about even. But personally, i do find characters with good personality or quirks but bad looks to be more interesting then the reverse. IE: Tomoko Kuroki

But characters who are all tits and no personality are just boring.

Looks are important though, if she wasn't as sexy as she is, then Mai Valentine never would've caught my eye as a kid and become the waifu i have today.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I can relate to women if they share hobbies with me regardless of looks.

But I'm only going to actively seek out women who look good.

Most of the time, it'd probably be something like 55% personality 45% design. It really depends on the show and the character.

The characters and personality I like go hand in hand..

but I wouldn't like one if it's doesn't have mature woman figures....

1:2 I guess

Most of my favs don't have a quite sexy body. So it's like 19:1 on personality and body.

50:50.
I'm still a young man who's got the hots for curvy women, so I do enjoy fanservice. But I think a good personality matters a lot too. Given this is anime we're talking about, curves and state of undress matters far more than IRL.

I guess 9 : 1 

Personally is 9
And appearance is 1 

I remember watching the first episode of beast tamer (I dropped it later lol) and the female character (Kanade was it?), a cat girl, was honestly pretty cute, but she literally had one of the most 2d cardboard type personality. Actually even saying she had a personality is an overstatement. She was a literal waifu bot who will love the Mc unconditionally. You can argue that her falling for the mc so easily is also a part of personality which just furthers my point that I do not care about appearance if you’re going to have such an awful personality. (I love cat girls so there’s that).

for porn pictures only
75% personality
25% looks

I cannot fap to it if she does not look like a nice caring girl has gentle facial expression, even if she has good body otherwise. Even in pictures with no story or anything.

I often look at pictures where face is hidden, especially on IRL porn

Dunno how ratio works (I know, I know, "how did you ever graduate highschool?"; I get that a lot, and your guess is as good as mine), so I'll just put it in percentage...

Personality - like, 70%
Sexiness - 0%
The other, like, 30% is the character's role in the story
