Subjective to the extreme, but honest as well.

Titania (Mahou Tsukai no Yome)
Iraha Remercier (Soredemo sekai wa utskushi)
Riou Satomi (Hakkenden)
Vincent Phantomhive (Black Butler)

Rin Sohma from Fruits Basket is one of the most beautiful anime characters that I've seen.



Agreed, or the most beautiful in the show at least. Although her personality is garbage.

zero two is probably the most beautiful anime girl i can think of, the ditf art style really does a lot. the way her hair is drawn just does it for me and i love her outfit.

and id say the most handsome is either dazai osamu or edogawa ranpo. i love their designs and the aesthetic of their very being is perfect to me lmao

I'm a sucker for blue eyes and black hair, so my anime boyfriend holy trinity is Noragami's Yato, Yona of the Dawn's Hak, and Blue Exorcist's Rin.

On the other team, I like women who could bench press me: Dorohedoro's Noi, Noragami's Bishamon, and the less beefy but still kinda dangerous in a fun way Minare from Wave, Listen to Me.

Holo from Spice & Wolf, her expressions, this lil' smile and those malicious eyes are a blessing for us (and she wouldn't be less beautiful without wolf ears & tail)


And I also like a lot Subaru from Re:ZERO, his eye's shape (again) is interesting and suits him well, and when madness takes him it's even cooler

Based on looks alone, I'd say Speed-o-Sound Sonic is quite handsome

You know what, personality wise he's great too. I've considered myself Aromantic Asexual for quite a while but man, if he was real,,

Makoto Tachibana from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club. Is both beautiful and handsome. I feel in love with him immediately. He cares for his friends deeply and he is great with children. He is such husband material to the point where if I don't meet a man like him I don't want to get married.

I've been watching 3-gatsu no Lion and I really think Akari is beautiful inside and out.



Not only she's gifted with beautiful physical features but she's also caring, patient, kind and strong.

Well, this is just turning into a thread where people just showing off their waifu. I should've expected this. I was expecting a little more serious discussion, but oh well...


Well I can try.

First, I'm going to take beautiful/handsome as having a beautiful/handsome face, because the whole character design is a different matter. You can have a beautiful character design and a generic face.

Second, everyone is right. When you draw and you have a basic level of proficiency in drawing faces, you'd actually have to go out of your way to draw something that ISN'T beautiful but still looks realistic. If you adhere to the basic rules of thumb for the placement of the eyes, nose, and lips as well as the shape of the head, you're going to end up drawing a pretty face most of the time. In anime, the rules are even more constricting--- most of the time you have the shape/size of nose and the same shape/size of mouth because not a lot of detail is put forth into these features. In addition, Asian beauty standards dictate that a thin nose, small mouth, small face, big eyes, and small jaw are what make up beauty in a woman. Moreover, the relative simplicity of an anime drawing compared to real life means that subtle differences in facial structure cannot be depicted. Hence, if you look at 90% of anime girl designs, they will be beautiful but they also have very little room for distinction. (To be fair, though, the same applies for fighting video game protagonists: even though they have the advantage of 3D rendering, most of them are the same generic, rough but good looking white guy with short hair.)

The little room for distinction is in the hairstyle, hair color, and shape of the eyes. If everything else is constant, you can change these factors while still maintaining beauty. The eyes are the most important, as they are what separate merely pretty from beautiful for a lot of anime fans. Sometimes, the uniqueness of the artstyle itself distinguishes the beauty; like, say, Leiji Matsumoto's ladies, but even with him he draws all his women the same way.

Still, because of all the things I've said, I seldom find anime characters particularly beautiful because I tend to look for a distinctive beauty. It doesn't help that most characters are in line with typical anime values for beauty; they're all either cutesy beautiful, playful beautiful, nice beautiful, innocent/earnest beautiful, sophisticated older lady beauty, etc.

With that in mind, if I can be allowed to cheat a little since it's not really anime, there is a single face on MAL that stands head and shoulders above the rest by virtue of being both beautiful and uniquely crafted:



For comparison, this is different from the Lunafreya in the actual game as well as Tifa and Aerith; all three are also 3D rendered but all three have a generic anime look with generic eyes.






A lot of it has to do with the fact that the Kingsglaive Lunafreya has a more angular facial structure whereas Eastern beauty standards nowadays value roundedness and youth. At the same time, Lunafreya is also distinguished among Western animated faces as well, and the uniqueness of her design owes to the fact that they modeled her after an actual person.

In addition, I also find Dorothy from Big O to be quite striking because although she sports the same small face/small features and big eyes, her lines are strong and sharp and her eyes are unique. She has a type of beauty I have rarely seen in anime. You can say she's the cold, calculating type, but I don't think that quite captures it.



For the record, neither of these characters are my "waifu" or even on my favorite characters list.

For the men I nominate Spike--- not much explanation needed here.



There's also this little known character called George Kodama from Kaze no Yojimbo, who has a similar look to Spike. I also find his face nuanced and unique among male characters since a good portion of anime males are just shounen protagonists, angsty mech pilots, smug know-it-all antiheroes, or bishounen .

ymir from shingeki no kyojin. her freckles and melanin skin really seems to appeal me, I do wish that I could find more anime characters with similar attributes! her exterior appearance isn't what necessarily depicted her with beauty, but her demeanour, speaking pattern and general character really amplified that.

it might be because I really like freckles on anime characters though, but let's not talk about that

Lacus Clyne and Relena Peacecraft (Gundam Seed (Destiny) & Wing) for their ideals, the great good they strive to achieve and who they are as a person on the inside.

Stellar Loussier (Gundam Seed Destiny) for her inner innocence, despite that she has become a monster by the works of the world around her.

C.C. (Code Geass) for her inner growth as an individual despite the time that has passed for her and her sweet wish to simply be loved and accepted by someone.

Gilgamesh (Fate) for his maturation, exclusivity of those who he recognizes as worthy, adoration of what mankind could become, and might of mind and ability.

Sheryl Nome (Macross Frontier) for her energy and love for life, strength of will and selfless devotion to her craft and whose who adore her.

There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so.

For a female character, I'm going with Orihime Inoue. She's got a very childish personality and can be pretty goofy, but she is a very gorgeous young woman.


For a male character, I gotta go with my man Bruno Buccellati. He's actually both beautiful AND handsome at the same time. I mean, just look at him.

Do I really gotta explain why?
