My favorites list is my waifu list...

But they are there because I like their personalities first and foremost... but if they had unappealing character designs they probably wouldn't make the list.

So... "a bit" is the answer.

A character's sexual attractiveness influences at least 80% of my character favorites.

Not really. But if there was a MyDoujinshiList, that would be a very important factor.

Attractiveness isn't a huge factor in how I rate anime characters. I really judge them by their story, their struggles, or their personality being likeable. Since most anime protagonists and side characters are made to look decent, there isn't much in way of negativity when it comes to appearance from one character to the next, unless the authors purposely made a character to have noticeable exterior flaws that stand out.

Not at all, especially since some of my faves are basically underage. :/

it doesn't influence my decision at all, I couldn't care less about sexual attractiveness but it's not like I deliberately choose not-sexy characters to be my favs

Character designs are pretty important for me but not really sexual attractiveness, its mostly because of the personality and how they act in the anime

Their design tells you how they are going to act, and I want the ones that act sexy.

Literally 0 contribution.

The character's personality, development, and growth throughout the anime are what I consider. Physical appearances do not matter.

Ah most of the time it doesn't but does sometimes! I mean not because it is a characteristic but more how their personality enhances their sexuality or their own body type. Like Noi from Dorohore! I love how strong and cool she is that I feel myself attracted to her. She would be my type of lady

Surprisingly not so much. I like girls with nicely developed body but most of my favorites aren't even big (in a certain region, of course).

I'm sure. Definitely based on your signature...

Idc about looks as much as whether their character aligns with my own

None of the characters I have favorited on MAL were favorited based on sexual attractiveness. I do tend to like some characters more because of how they look though.

Almost zero. It probably has some bearing as I probably wouldn't have super ugly characters in my favourites but ugly characters in anime tend to be the dumb sort which is not a personality I particularly like or a monster another personality type I'm not overly keen on.

If sexual attraction is the reason to add a character as favourite then my favourite characters would be full of hentai girls.
Jokes aside I like most female characters from Seinen anime.

I will not say that looks aren't important, but only the characters I resonate deeply with make it there.

That said, Tohsaka was there until last year for her thighs and the way she costantly teased Shiro... and my masochist penis deeply resonated with her.

If I had the supporter I'd probably have the current favs and those I'm sexually attracted to the most... but now I only have the spiritual ones.

It doesn’t. Otherwise, my favorites wouldn’t be majority male.

Seriously, not at all, no matter how horny I could get sometimes I could never call a a character my favorite just because of their sexy design, it's more about how relatable they are (+points if they are a little cute)

I don't usually put people on my fav characters list solely based on how they look, but it certainly doesn't hurt if they hot. (Joseph)

How much does a character's sexual attractiveness influence them going in your favorites?

Only a portion. Can't really put a specific % number on it though.
I might notice a character or show quicker because of it, but that isn't the only thing to make a character attractive.

Personality plays a bigger role in deciding favorites than sexual attractiveness.
She could be the hottest girl in the show, but if she's a stuck-up bi*ch it's likely she won't be a favorite.

Sexual attractiveness would be more of a deciding factor between choices that were otherwise tied.
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime.

Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language.

It is not a priority but it is a bonus when they are eye candy. I have my favorites from each series so the list could go on forever but my elite top tier favs are usually husbando material for me.

Uhm, I'd say it has little influence since there are series that I started specifically for one attractive character but I ended up dropping, in most cases said character being absolutely boring imo.

However, I wouldn't have rated my favs as attractive at first (except Sailor Jupiter) but now I see them all as quite beautiful

Well, none of them. I don't see Ononoki, Elaina, and Saten Ruiko have that sexual attractive, i don't want it either...

Physical attractiveness plays a big factor for me. Although I also factor in personality and other things.

There are 3 hot damn dudes, 4 super cute dudes, 2 fluffy mascots and one pretty girl. I guess it´s kinda balanced? Anyway, their personalities are also essential, of course. They must make me laugh and cry aside from swooning.

Chuuya is the hottest for me, but if he were just your random handsome and deadly mafioso, it wouldn´t be the same at all. A small, tsundere demi god mafioso with hysterical reactions towards his former partner is way more fun, of course.

Nope, headpat-ibility is what gets them on the list.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Yeah sure maybe but a more important attribute is to just not be annoying, or be smart, or have a GREAT personality, you know, it's the things on the inside that counts! But having a pair of massive jugs would never hurt

Not at all. 2 characters on my list are flat out described as ugly. Although they changed Kitarou's pic to his more cute design and not his old buck-teeth one that i love lol.

kinda would be weird if that was a factor considering I have Nadeko in my favorites and she’s 13, but some of the characters are on my favorites because they are attractive but that’s usually an afterthought considering I mostly care about their personality. However it’s impossible to overlook how sexy and badass Revy, Misato, and Shiki are.

Not really, no.



but attractiveness (not necessarily sexual) is a plus if I already like a character.

They are pretty much all male with the exception of Kanade from angel beats, and i suppose Rimuru is a slime, so he doesn't really count as male.

Then again both Lelouch and Touma seem popular with girls in-universe so maybe they could be considered sexually attractive in some form.
Objectivity? In my anime scoring? Of course not...

i am sexually attracted to none of the characters in my favourites list, but i have to admit that some of them are supposed to be good-looking canonically. especially yamamoto takeshi from khr, who has many female fans. but don patch, bobobo and jelly jiggler are probably not...
