I removed all the guys and kept the first 10 girls (as of sept 2019).

Makise Kurisu (12)
Rem (17)
Mikasa Ackerman (22)
Gasai Yuno (23)
Senjougahara Hitagi (24)
Aisaka Taiga (25)
Saber (28)
Holo (30)
Kiss-Shot Acerola bla bla (35)
Megumin (37)

I am very disappointed that Yuno isn't no 1 but what can I do, Mikasa is great, SnK is pretty popular. Taiga being there in top 10 hurts my eyes, she's too obnoxious (Minorin was best girl) and the others are otaku waifus (which is not wrong at all).
Do you think there'll be a girl who's gonna storm the top 10? I'm patiently waiting for 02, more people have to watch Franxx to discover the greatness of 02.
So what are your thoughts?

Rem, Senjougahara, Megumin, Holo are the ones that are also in my extended favorite character list. I also like Kiss-Shot, tho she definitely isn't my favorite Monogatari girl. Mikasa is decent too, Taiga was okay, as was Kurisu. Yuno is ridiculously unlikable and easily my least favorite character on that list by a very large margin, and Saber is just meh, boring, forgettable in my opinion.

The ones I'd like to see on that list the most are Faye (Cowboy Bebop) and Hinata (3-gatsu). Especially Hinata, she might be my favorite female character in all of anime right now. Others that I hold in very high regard are in no particular order:

Noda Megumi (Nodame Cantabile)
Kino (Kino's Journey)
Rena (Higurashi)
Misaki (Welcome to the NHK)
San (Princess Mononoke)
Motoko (Ghost in the Shell)
Watashi (Jinrui)
Fujiko (Yawara)
Makoto (Idolmaster)
Yuzuru (Koe no Katachi)
Chizuru (Tsurezure Children)
Uraraka (Hero Academia)
Sara (Gallery Fake)
Oscar (Rose of Versailles)
Rin (Usagi Drop)
Renge (Non Non Biyori)
Hitomi & Anzu (Hinamatsuri)
I probably regret this post by now.

They're pretty much all top-tier in my book, so I really like what I'm seeing.

And yeah, more people definitely need to know the greatness that is 02, but you'd have to somehow manage to sit through Franxx in the first place so...

@Pullman interesting choice with Fujiko, she looks visually kinda opposite to what you prefer (she's tall), I finished the judo match against that girls college (episode 60ish) and I agree that Fujiko is great.

Why people like low tier girls like Rem, Mikasa, Senjougahara and Saber will always just baffle me honestly but is fine I guess

of the girls not in my fav section Taiga of course the best but I mean she in 4th place of the Rie Kugimiya J.C. STAFF collection so that just tells you how low the rest of the girls are in the overall list despite me liking Megumin, Kurisu and Shinobu

Well, most of my favorite chars I don't really pick based on how they look (I'd say I only find a handful of the chars I listed particularly attractive). Fujiko was just great, she more or less saved Yawara for me since the MC was mostly just annoying me in that show. Her and Hanazono carried the show as far as I'm concerned, along with some others like Jody. I would have probably dropped it if she hadn't gotten more screentime over time.

If I based my favorite chars on looks they would look very different. They'd be full with idolmaster lolis and the likes :>.

Kurisu and Mikasa don’t need to be up there. I don’t see the appeal of Kurisu and Mikasa doesn’t even come close to being best girl, especially when Historia is in the same show. Megumin, Rem, and best girl Taiga all deserve it though.

I can't think of anyone who would suddenly get up there, maybe someone from a new show.
Anyway, the characters top list will only ever allow characters from very popular shows to compete, unlike the top anime list. So first you need a very popular show with a very popular character for any kind of change.

But yeah, Zero Two is definitely likable and super hot, she was everywhere at the time and is still quite big, I'm kinda surprised she's not there in the top 10, even if I wouldn't put her into my favourites myself.

As for the list, I personally think Rem is super boring and not very likable and Megumin, while fun, can be kind of annoying and it's just weird for a meme character like that to make the top list.
Not a fan of Mikasa either, but I can definitely see the appeal. The rest of the list is fine with me, Holo, Hitagi and Saber are all top tier and even Rias is not that far behind I think (12k+ favs) so generally the girl taste on MAL is not half bad.

i'm more surprised with the male characters in the top 50 being mostly shonen dumbasses

Only one girl in that show went face-to-face with a titan, with nothing but her bare hands and a rusty old arrow. And it sure as hell wasn't Historia.

Uhhh.... why isn’t Asuna Yuuki on that list?! She is best girl ever! :)

Now that I think of it, many top-tier waifus are missing? Where’s Asuka? Yūki Nagato? And, yes, Zero Two?

Admittedly, Zero Two is awesome but she was a little too “horny” for me (get it?). Personally, I found Ichigo to be the more attractive and likeable female character. It wasn’t until the final 7 or 8 episodes that Zero Two showed a sweeter side that made me change my opinion of her.

Good top spots, especially since Zero Two isn't there. Also, Mikasa? Why? I found her to be a pretty boring character. Of course Megumin deserves a spot though, explosions always win.

I'm disgusted to see that frigid bitch of senjougahara in that list. Tsubasa über alles.

And Mikasa? I don't dislike her by any means but she wouldn't crack my top 50, let alone top 10. I guess people like a psychothic obsessive babysitter who behaves more like a man than a woman. Heh, to each their own.

Makise is in the top 10 tho, so everything is fine anyway.

I like Rem, Megumin, Senjougahara, Saber, Kiss-Shot. Especially the latter three.

Dunno about Yuno and Holo since I haven't seen their shows but I feel I would like Holo. Taiga is okay but I wasn't really fan of her. Ami and Minori were better.

Mikasa doesn't deserve to be there at all. She has personality of a wet napkin. By far the most boring character in Attack on Titan, and she is supposed to one of the mains.

As for the girls I'd like to see on the top, I'd say definitely Rin Tohsaka, Motoko Kusanagi, Balsa, Akane and Dianna Soriel. They are in my favorites after all. There a many others I'd have no problem seeing there such as Asuka, Illyasviel, Marida Cruz, Hinata from Sangatsu, most of Monogatari girls, etc. There's no point in listing them all

I can somewhat agree with the top. Kurisu is only my 4th favourite Steins;Gate girl but she's pretty decent, Taiga is my favourite girl in anime so I think she deserves her standing, Rem is top tier, Shinobu and Senjougahara are ok, I like Holo and Megumin, haven't watched much Fate so no opinion on Saber, and Yuno and Mikasa are hot garbage.

I also think Zero Two is trash.

Kurisu is awesome and a great top pick.
Rem is overrated as hell. I dread the day she takes over Kurisu. I swear every time I check the list she has conjured 2000 new favorites from nowhere.
Mikasa is okay I guess.
Yuno is really awesome too.
Hitagi is laaaaaame. Fake tsundere that cuts her hair. Gross. And her show sucks too.
Taiga is awesome, but prefer Shana even more. Still great though.
Artoria isn't bad, but come on, Rin the heroine of the ass is right there!
Holo is pretty cool.
Shinobu is laaaaaame too. And really, of all franchises to double-dip from, why Monogatari? Yuck,
Megumin is cool, but again I prefer Aqua the assy nopan goddess.

Also good thing you didn't continue because the top girls are embarrasingly lame. Kaori? Zero Two? Lucy? Shitoge? Rias? Sparkycrotch? Urrrrgh.

I understand that that is your opinion. But...they were both obnoxious but I'd choose Taiga over her anyday. However best girl goes to Kawashima. As for the top list,I approve and also insist on Kurisu. Rest all I don't really care about. Well Mikasa is alright too but not in my favs though.

The first thing I notice about those ten is that all of them are subordinate within their show to a male lead. (Clearly for most, but only arguably for a few.) It seems MAL is not too keen on female protagonists, which is a pity since having plenty of female protagonists is one of the great advantages anime has over Western media.

I'm quite satisfied that of the seven female characters within my top ten characters, three are protagonists and another two are from female-led shows.

I'm not really a huge fan of any of the top 10 girls of MAL except for Kurisu, Megumin and probably Hitagi. But I could understand why they are loved by so many.

I'm honestly quite surprised that Kurisu is the top female character in MAL and I think she deserves it. And I would be glad if she reaches the Top 10 in which her good friend, Okabe is part of right now.

Very interesting, they are all kinda sidekicks except for taiga, holo and yuno. The only girl who I can think of to be a great main would be Matoi Ryuuko, but people don't watch klk because ecchi.

I see, as for why the most popular females aren't lead characters that's because most users watch shows with male leads so the females they add to their favourite list are sidekicks or supporting leads
