| Howdy fellas, anime characters can be attractive, we all can agree, there's just this slight problem though. Everyone's tastes in a character are different, someone can call your characteristic taste weird and unnatural. Well, I'm gonna put that to the test. Which anime characters do you find attractive that many people won't agree with?  |

Some people may be turned of by the 3D but i find Depagaa Techni from Waza no Tabibito and the cast W-Tails Cat: A Strange Presence extremely attractive   |
people simp for historia, annie, even armina but I am a true mikasa fan, would bang her |
    |
Not that many people finds Tokine from Kekkaishi to be attractive but i do. |
 |
Maybe Tenka Izumo because of her short hair, but for me her personality skyrockets her attractiveness. |

| I think any that Akio Watanabe had a major part in creating, as they just have that pretty distinctive look of a quite narrow face, pointy jaw, perhaps bigger than usual eyes, a fang and slightly unusual-shaped ears. So for me I'd say Michiru Matsushima from Grisaia  Sodachi Oikura from Monogatari  Even the girl I'm currently using in my set (Rin Tokikaze) is one of his works. She's a videogame & manga character though, so probably doesn't count for this question. And to be truthful I think she's the worst looking one out of the 3 I posted. But her looks aren't the main reason why I love her and she still my dear Waifu. |

| Unless you're talking about an intentionally ugly character (or a weird art style) the majority of anime characters are attractive. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

I think Pakunoda from Hunter X Hunter is kinda hot. Though I suppose the only attribute of hers that could be considered not conventionally attractive is her schnoz. |
| Hatsune Miku. I think many people find her ugly. But I love her. |

| Shizuku from HxH is insanely attractive but gets like no attention at all so definitely her |
I feel like you'd be hard pressed to find a character you find attractive that others would find unattractive or ugly. Other than maybe some youkai characters, of which I can't think of any, it's really just plain looking characters that you find attractive. Of which I guess I would say Aki Mikage from Silver Spoon: |
 Tsuchinoko would be one of the first to spring to mind. Why? Because if I had to answer your question to say which characters I found most physically attractive which the largest amount of people were likely to disagree with presumably due to not sharing the same tastes, then my first thought would be either those characters with strongly animalistic traits or features, such as some anthropomorphized non-human animal characters or the sort of hybrid juujin beastfolk ones seen in some fantasy, and even moreso if, as opposed to, say an equine or canine one like a wolf which may be more popular, one from a group which an even larger percentage of people are likely to be turned off by, such as reptiles and within reptiles, especially snakes (or in this case, technically the tsuchinoko cryptid). After that would be ones some others are likely to take umbrage with due to young age or other non-human characteristics like certain vampires (other than the traditionally aesthetically-pleasing and intentionally sexually-drawn and alluring ones), certain youkai, certain androids. Probably the next single individual character for me personally I'd put up for this is:  |

I've found that the general perception of what features and attributes makes for an attractive anime character is more or less ubiquitous; it's difficult to name a character I find attractive that a swathe of other people wouldn't. Drossel von Flügel (Fireball) is a possibility, but that's more because she's a humanoid robot with a visibly metallic exterior, whereas most would find an android with an appearance entirely imperceptible from the human form (barring maybe a few joint lines) more familiar, and thus more stimulating. That is, of course, still a stretch, since Drossel has plenty of fanart with varying degrees of lewdity, but I don't think it would be controversial to state that most would prefer an android with a fleshy covering and implicitly human look over a more visibly mechanical robot that imitates human morphology. |

| From what I read, the girls from Real Drive were considered fat and ugly back then, but would probably be far more popular now. I like the scientist, Erica Takanami, and Holon, but she's an android, so. I've never been a "hear me out" type of guy so, I got nothing else. |
People might disagree with me, but I found Yakumo Yuurakutei in his old days (yes with his white hair and wrinkles) way more attractive than in his young days. He's probably the only old character I found attractive in his old days. There's just something charming about the idea of a guiding older figure and his presence ignites my interest about older partner. Also honorable mention: Ogata Hyakunosuke from Golden Kamuy, I found him more attractive than the MC himself. |

Damn; it definitely gets the neurochemical juices flowing. Sasuga fellow Shiki fan and appreciator. By far the hottest shiki character in my view. The only other one I believe I found attractive in that way was Nao. |

Shizuna said: Call me vanilla, but I find Megumi more attractive. Ugh...you vanilla Nilla wafer bas...No. Actually, Megumi isn't my type but she isn't physically unattractive to me, neither as a shiki nor before as a human. I'm just kind of neutral on her appearance. But the thing is, even though I know it should technically be a separate matter and irrelevant to physical appearance, her personality makes me so livid and disgusted that I doubt I could see her in such a way anyway, as I usually can't watch a scene with her in it without finding myself getting actively pissed off. |

Shizuna said: The main emotion I feel towards Megumi is pity. She had a very ignorant perception of life, specifically the way she admired the big city lifestyle and hated rural life, and given her age I think she might've felt trapped in the village and it probably twisted her personality to some degree without proper support from a friend, family or a boyfriend, whereas becoming a vampire introduced her to many freedoms she wasn't mentally mature for. You said it - Ignorant. That's exactly what it was. I think pity is also what I would feel toward her were I a more empathetic person, but as someone who honestly isn't (I can definitely analyze and understand people, ideas, and things I dislike and disagree with all day long and even enjoy doing so, but not care about what happens to them) and has encountered enough people like this in the "real" 3D physical world, especially as a kid/teen in school, I just despise it so much and it makes me so reflexively irate even through representations in media to this day. It's an exceedingly common phenomenon for everyone to perceive the grass as greener on another side ("I should be in this job or company over my current one", "I should be in this relationship or marriage with this person over who I am currently with", "This town, city, state/province, or country must be so much better than my own", "I wish I could have lived in the past or future rather than present", etc.). I think that's an extremely natural and human trait. There's really nothing wrong with it and probably virtually every person has experienced it over something at some point in their lives. Sometimes it may even be true or accurate enough. The problem with the one Megumi exhibits is just that it's an extremely common pattern and folly I've seen. Kids want to rebel and in so doing, they bash and spit on their own parents and family, the few or even one actual genuine loyal friend who was willing to bend over backwards for them, and everything that made their hometown or personal life even a little bit unique, only to "rebel" by becoming in practice the biggest followers and cogs in the machine imaginable, chasing after trends in fashion, popularity, and social approval from vapid people and systems - the cool/popular guy, the "big city", etc., not realizing they're the biggest suckers and tools of all, in many ways even more than the average dirt farmer from their village who never left it. I just can't stomach that mentality. It's so realistic. So painfully realistic. She's a great character. I can't help but hate her and her statements and actions, but she's a great character. Almost everyone in Shiki is, which is a substantial part of what makes it one of my top favorite series of all time. Everyone in their traits and nuances, tics and hang-ups, little moments of strength or cowardice, resilience, cruelty, or sheep/herd mentality behavior feels incredibly accurate, realistic, and true to life. I'm normally someone who prefers a much smaller cast of characters - like four or five at most, but even the focus being on just two being ideal to get me optimally invested, and this is one of the only series in existence which ever made me care so much about such a large ensemble cast (Megumi is the only one I hated, human and shiki alike, - everyone else I could sympathize with to some degree or another in the basis for their actions, even if they would have differed from my own). |

Hatsune Miku. I think many people find her ugly. But I love her.
| @DesuMaiden I think these people just doesn't like her voice sound, and they enjoy insulting her fanbase. Miku is pretty cute, there is no reason to call her "ugly". While everyone loves Yoruichi, Rukia or Orihime from Bleach, I find Soifon attractive, which is a pretty rare choice, I guess.  |

| @WatchTillTandava Although it's an inherent trait of the human nature, what you've described seems like a modern issue especially. I don't think there was any other time in history when children demonstrated so much disdain to their own parents - a few people who genuinely care about them in the whole world - for the sake of trendy ideas exhibited on social media and popular products by people who won't give a damn whether you die or not: random internet users they interact with, so-called influencers, celebrities, governmental officials and corporate stooges. Same with one's homeland or relationships - with the access to the internet people compare their own situations to the glitter present on their screens and scorn what they themselves have. So in a way Megumi's story is a story of a modern girl, which is indeed realistic and indeed tragic. That being sad, in my opinion, Natsuno's father exhibited much worse traits than she did, especially so considering that unlike Megumi he has no excuse of being young and inexperienced. |

That being sad, in my opinion, Natsuno's father exhibited much worse traits than she did, especially so considering that unlike Megumi he has no excuse of being young and inexperienced. I basically agree with the rest of what you mention pertaining to Megumi as well as the other points. Regarding Natsuno's father, it's funny you bring him up, because to me he has always been in a way like an older male version of Megumi. It shows in part one path which that mentality might result in as an older adult and parent. I found his actions disgraceful and at times just sickeningly stupid and blind. To me he's a typical tribalist idiot and representative of like some people in my parent's generation and a little younger, who likewise also probably rebelled against a small town or rural more culturally conservative family upbringing, and became the face of the modern NPC urban-dweller (obviously this is Japan versus a Western country in which I am and the timelines and different periods of recent history as far as cultural and social climates and movements are a little different, but you get the general idea). He's the post-WWII good obedient liberal-progressive cosmopolitan. One of the most astounding scenes which epitomizes his downfall as a father and a person capable of engaging any rational survival or self-preservation instinct is the scene where he encounters Seishirou Kirishiki out walking his dogs and Seishirou, in effect, conditions and "grooms" him to remain in place in Sotoba and essentially lower his defenses, don't take any precautions or protect his own home and family, and allow his son to be defenseless and gift-wrapped, handed over, and possibly slaughtered or turned into a vampire. Has him deliver up his son's life on a silver platter like cattle. All by stroking his ego of what an enlightened modern cosmopolitan he is and how it would be so horrible and unsightly to be like these primitive backward traditional people in the village by buying into "superstition" and giving any credence to the shikis' existence. Similarly when Kaori and Akira want to deliver the charms and talismans to Natsuno to help protect his room/prevent entry to his home, and the dad humors them on the surface and then proceeds to throw them directly in the garbage. It was a vile action. All because he can't bear to tolerate the idea of validating the traditions or folk religious beliefs of some local people. He looks down on them so much, and indeed there are plenty of closed-minded tribalist idiots in the village too, but he doesn't possess the self-awareness to realize that that's exactly what he is from the opposite end. Just an urban liberal tribal idiot against some rural conservative ones (and against people who don't even fit that description, but he tars them all with the same brush because they live in the village). I think that the only reason he didn't get me as personally viscerally heated when watching to the point of feeling my blood pressure actively rising as Megumi did is because as an average middle-aged adult he's a lot more mellow and matter-of-fact in his line delivery and mannerisms, against an impassioned teenager basically screaming it on the top of her lungs and being very pushy and aggressive about it, so even though his beliefs and decisions were no less braindead and maybe even worse due to age/experience as you said, I didn't get as much riled up in like a fight-or-flight way. Unlike some other viewers, Natsuno was never one of my favorite characters and I found him somewhat bland and kind of like your everyman self-insert protagonist for a large portion of the audience, but aside from his later transformation and a few key lines, one thing I did always find interesting about him is how he seems to recognize and hate this aspect of his parents, and even though he's not an older person like the senior citizens in the village nor of an old-fashioned mentality, nor is he in love with life in the village, but because he sees his father's ideological nonsense, his own way of rebellion lies in not following the same mentality as his parents, and in this case, I think that actually prevents him from acting like someone like Megumi and may even turn him off of Megumi as a friend or romantic partner (maybe even why he always ignored her prior to the events of the series, but that's my own speculation) is he sees some of the same mentality in her - another person just mindlessly dumping on the village and villagers' way of life without living their own life/not being another follower or offering a better alternative. Actually, the more I break this character down the more interesting he does become, but of course some of this could be very subject to interpretation and a little bit of head canon (but isn't that all art?). Maybe it's meant to be subtle and not explicitly stated, or maybe he's a little underdeveloped in following up on some of these threads as the time has to be divided between a large cast of characters (and Seishin and Dr. Ozaki are arguably more important as mains). Even though I believe I understand all these characters well enough, even yes Megumi, if I were to myself "self-insert" into the world for a second, honestly the only ones I really relate to are Masao and Seishin Muroi. I think I would be Masao as a kid/teen (minus the fawning over Megumi) and Seishin as an adult. One fun thing about this series is that the village is such a nice wide microcosm of humanity and all its different traits and mindsets that even non-horror fans giving it a go should be able to see themselves or at least some part of themselves represented in some character. More than usual in a lot of series where so many characters are intended as overly either heroic or villainous. |
