| DISCLAIMER: I’m not making this thread to start a waifu war...please read carefully! So, another year is basically behind us...and soon enough everyone will be making their end of year threads claiming X Anime was the best and X waifu was the best. But what should the metrics be? Popularity? Influence? Some sort of Objectivity? A bit of everything? |
| I suppose it should be based on how cute they are, how dedicated and loving they are to their chosen character (i.e Rem's undying love for Subaru) and overall cool of a character they are in general. My opinion may be biased, however, taking in these metrics into account I feel like the award goes to Rem for sure. |
 |
| I don't think you can use objectivity to rate waifus when everything depends on personal taste to begin with. At the end of the day, even if it may be flawed, popularity is what always defines that someone ends being the "x" of the Year (in general lines, not to oneself, here what the "popularity method" is flawed). Polls are basically that at the end, popularity contests. |
 |
| Pretty sure it would be just popularity. Like Crunchyroll awards, which was garbage, so does the waifu war:^) |

| It doesn't matter who we want to be best waifu of 2017, it's gonna be Rem because of popularity... sadly |
Gintokikachi said: That is the only part of the awards who made me slightly salty. The worst thing was Kira has the win assured, since the other ones were pretty mediocre.Illyricus said: Dude, Kira lost to the Erased villain.

| Doesn't look too difficult to decide, basically personal opinion and fuck what everyone else says. |

--ALEX-- said: Actually Rem won the 2016 Waifu of the Year. She’s not eligible this year...it has to be someone who had a new anime premier on 2017... So would Rindou from Shokugeki no Souma count? |

I wouldn't even vote for her, just was interested if a new character from a sequel counts xD My vote would probably go to Satou-sensei. |
Gator said: The one from Demi-chan wa Kataritai?My vote would probably go to Satou-sensei. |
|
Illyricus said: Gator said: The one from Demi-chan wa Kataritai?My vote would probably go to Satou-sensei. Yup, just skipped through all the shows this year and she was the best newcomer imo. Quetzalcoatl from Dragon Maid would also be a good choice :3 |
| If you want to try and rate them objectively then good luck, we all know it'll come down to popularity. |
 |
| The best waifu, of course. Not hard to find for this year at all. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
Gator said: Oh, I see then. I just wanted to check if your pick was the one of a man of culture, and I see it was indeed the case ;)Illyricus said: The one from Demi-chan wa Kataritai? Yup, just skipped through all the shows this year and she was the best newcomer imo. Quetzalcoatl from Dragon Maid would also be a good choice :3 |
|
| I think there is no point in trying to rate something objectively in an award cause we all know the most popular one will always win. Just look at last year. |
| Because we're stupid that we love to have fun |
| Nana is my waifu so won't be another girl from this year Id consider a waifu but best girl of the year would be Darkness honourable mention to Jabami  |
 |
| >Annual waifus kys now Well discounting sequel characters (in which case Megumin), probably either Kanna or Maika to me |
  |
| probably the cuteness and the lewdness |
  |
| Do the metrics really matter? Whichever popularity poll determines the waifuist waifu of 2017 will still leave thousands of fan-boys rioting. We're talking about waifus mate, not something civilized like the 2016 American election cycle. War is inevitable. A man has to defend his waifu regardless of the ignorant masses. For in the end there is but one constant: |
 |
| Easy, the one with the most doujins of course. |
     |
| Based on popularity ?? Nanachi Kobayashi rindou. Tsukuyo. Megumin. |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| for me yumeko is best waifu this year cute hot smart and creepy at the same time i love her :3  |
 |
| If she has a penis or not, so Astolfo can win. |
| If you consider Nanachi to be female then she's my waifu of the year |
  |
Bernrika said: If she has a penis or not, so Astolfo can win. Astolfo is so fucking cute...he can win whatever category he’s in. And yeah...Best Waifu of 2017 as far as I’m concerned.  |
| We could.... not have an award. That's an option. Putting anything on vote will make it a popularity contest, and anything other than that would just be your opinion or the opinion of a group of people. I mean if you want an award, it'll end up something like Crunchyroll's anime of the year or it'll end up like some anime youtubers top 10 list. So what's the point? |
| 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. My MAL Interview |
| The anime was bad but i'll go for yumeko. Anyone with high volume of doujins automatically wins. Yum. ( Ν‘° ΝΚ Ν‘°) |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| A bit of everything would be the most logical answer, but then again this is MAL we're talking about here. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| The most liked/recognizable character this year = instant waifu of the year Remember Rem last year? (Those who watched Rem:Zero) She was not recognizable in first 8 episodes until she showed her kindness to Subaru in those 15+ episodes. LUUL |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| For me, I guess it's personal preference. My current one is Tohru from Kobayashi-san chi no MeiDoragon I like the characters Megumin, Darkness from Konosuba and Rem is a good one too. |
| Boy what I would give for a Season two of Dragon Maid |
| Rem won 2016 Waifu of the Year for a variety of reasons. Not only was she VERY popular, she was arguably the shining light in the dark utter void that was that black hole called Re:Zero. Rem is the embodiment of what a waifu should be. Others should take note.  |
| I can't decide who is the best girl of this year. I guess I have to go with Chtholly! She's so sweet! I liked her personality a lot. Some honorable mentions: Ange (Princess Principal) ---- Megumin (KonoSuba 2) ------ Kagura (Gintama. & Gintama.: Porori-hen) ----- Kino (Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series) |

 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| Not make a competition about it and just let everyone call their waifu the waifu of the year, because at the end of the day calling a character you're waifu is pretty sad anyway. |
| Don't even know if any character is worth shit to be a waifu nowadays. |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Internet's opinion ofc. Just look back at crunchyroll's Yaoi of the Year 2016. Nothing can beat the internet!!! |
| Their culinary abilities, food speaks for the stomach after all |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
guulaash said: Their culinary abilities, food speaks for the stomach after all Exactly this. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. |
  |
| Not worth the effort to try to define some "objective" measure. Just make a poll already so I can vote for Ririna. |
  |
| Astolfo will be the best waifu of this year. |
