Among the regulars here it's pretty obvious who our #1 picks will be. But I am interested to see how you rank Witches 2-11. Discuss with everyone why your Witches landed their spot or rank. Lets make this fun people and no bitching about why Sanya is or is not a #1 pick. LOL

I made this list as a request from Chibuki for my 30K celebration thread:

The main character yet ranked last. The whole "lets make friends with the enemy" bit at the end irritated me.

This is just like the lists we all made and posted in the comments section. Quick notice, don't take this personally. It's just an opinion.

Here we go:

I'm still not sure I'm completely satisfied with it, but spending any more time trying to fine-tune it wouldn't change too much, so here's mine.

My list has remained the same for over a month. ^^;

(P.S. If you guys really wanna see who the best Witch is, I had this idea about keeping score: Rank #1 = 11 pts & Rank #11 = 1 pts. Someone can keep score and add 'em up, and the Witch with the highest total wins.)

I'll save you some time. The total consensus would end up with Sanya. Going off of the last character poll, she would already have 110 points. Considering most people who voted for Lucchini have her in her top 3 or 4, the lead only expands.

In my opinion, it's more entertaining to just see how people ranked them personally than to throw in total score systems for who will be the "ultimate witch."

Yeah Miku, Sakuko hit the nail on the head. It would be a nice idea maybe if we had more active users, though we don't know how many of them would have Sanya as their favorite. I guess making your idea a reality would be predicated upon how diverse their #1 character choices are.

It is rather funny though. We have 181 members and at best we've had 44 people vote on a single poll and maybe half of that, at best (probably much lower), who actually comment or post regularly.

Yeah, it is kinda funny. I belong to several clubs and only visit a handful of them, which is most likely the same case with most of the inactive users here.

You're up awfully late. lol

I have never thought about having them in order from least to most favorite. :P When the time comes, I'll be sure to post them here. For now it's nice to see what everyone have to say critically about each Witches.

After making Vert and I go through the anguish, the least you could do is make a list like we all posted above. I mean I love all the characters, there is no hate for Yoshika just because I gave her the #11 spot. Although I blame the shortness of the series for not being able to rank these characters more accurately.

So it would seem this needs to come with a spoiler tag.

I just joined and I have only finished season 1, but here are mine:

1. Charlotte E. Yeager- I am not entirely sure why she is my favorite. But I am always eager to find out more about her and for her to have more screentime. She is adorable and fits her role of the American/Liberion girl perfectly. I enjoy that despite being a bit tomboyish and an excellent mechanic, she still displays many feminine traits as well. She seems loveable but not to the point of being annoying.

2. Mio Sakamoto- She was my favorite of the more developed characters. She seems to be the ideal leader and I enjoyed her backstory as well as the fact that her fate with the Witches can already be determined, yet she is going to keep going until the end. She is a confident yet kind woman and her relationship with each girl is different, but there is something special about each one.

3. Francesca Lucchini- I'll admit that she wasn't the deepest or most developed character, but I found her to be the main source of comic relief in the series. It seems like she should just be an annoying character but I find her to be adorable and a laugh riot. She is the youngest and her personality humorously enhances that fact.

4. Erica Hartmann- I saw her as the "maverick" of the group and with a pretty unique personality. She was great at telling it like it is and saying out loud what you know everyone is thinking. The sad part is what very little screentime and characterization she was given. With that she would probably be higher on the list. Maybe more in season 2?

5. Lynette Bishop- She was kind of the stereotypical faithful sidekick. But she is one of the cutest sidekicks I've ever seen! And she always stands by her best friend even if she seems to be a bit jealous of her. She is also one of the characters who seemed to change the most as time went on. She and Yoshika complement each other perfectly and she is a perfect love interest for the protagonist (if that's how it's going to end up, anyway).

6. Perrine H. Clostermann- She was definately the most irritating of the 11 but the series would not have been complete without a character like her. She is the one you "love to hate" and the rival of the protagonist. She will naturally be hated by a majority of the audience but she actually plays a vital role. She is there to challenge the protagonist and create some tension with the rest of the cast. She does this pretty well and, additionally, is a great comic relief character due to her snobbiness and doting attitude towards Mio. And the fact that she is "troubled" makes the audience a little more sympathetic.

7. Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke- Like Mio, she is a good leader but she is also a great foil character for Mio. She could be annoying but was still respectable and a mature leader, especially for her age. She stuck strictly to the rules even when it was obvious she was struggling with it. Interestingly, she also seemed to be the only Witch with an apparent interest in the opposite sex...

8. Yoshika Miyafuji- She was exactly like every anime heroine I've seen so far. She is likable, although her naivete becomes ridiculous at times. She is fun to root for but a less stereotypical protagonist may have been more entertaining.

9. Gertrud Barkhorn- She came off sort of bland and a bit of a jerk, but she was also a necessary character in that she seemed the most serious about the situation at hand. The story with her sister was kind of predictable but still interesting enough. It is also enjoyable to watch her try and hide her true colors towards the end of the season.

10.Sanya V. Litvyak- She is a sweet and cute character. She is likable enough but otherwise bland. There doesn't seem to be much to her...

11. Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen- At first, I thought she would be another rival for Yoshika as she seemed kind of hostile towards her. I would have rather seen that but it seems like, after one episode, she went back to just being the weird, bipolar girl that was in the backround most of the time.

Now, I don't dislike any of the characters but I feel it almost would have been better to "blend" some of them into one, more developed character and have 2-4 less characters. Pretty neat show though XD

Helped you out there with the spoiler tag Shoujo-k! :D

Back when I first became a fan, I used to rank them 1-11 like this. But eventually I grew to love them all. First Sanya was my favorite, then Mio, Lynne…well, you get the idea. Instead I’ll give pros and cons for each character in alphabetical order, and why I like them.

Just wanted to update my ranks.

#1 Gertrud Barkhorn I love a women who can kick ass and fight to the bitter end. Plus I like how she act's so tough but is kind on the inside.

#2 Eila Juutiainen, Now this one was quite different from the rest. A pilot that was never shot down quite amazing if I do say so myself. plus she's had a few lol moments.

#3 Minna Wilck I love her voice and she had a interesting background story. Out of all the characters her's was different. A lost love that was never forgotten I felt sorry for her.

#4 Charlotte Yeager miss fast, big, and soft. Even though she didn't get much of a background story I thought she was a care free badass.

#5 Lynette Bishop, Now what a sweet heart she's so kind and always trying to better herself. Reminds me of me.lol

#6 Mio sakamoto, I've found new respect after seeing her use her blade as a shield in S2 quite the bad ass.

#7 Yoshika Miyafuji,

#8 Erica Hartmann

#9 Sanya Litvyak

#10 Francesca Lucchini

#11 Perrine-H Clostermann

I could never rate them! I Love them all so much! I guess though if I had to pick my favorite it would be Erica Hartmann. So many different reasons, but still, how can I not love any of them? This anime is the only anime to change my life to such a large degree - seriously. So yea, cool and all to see all you guys' opinions, but I just love them all! ^^
