We are half ways into 2030. Where is she?

Is freiren just reddit shit that spills into here, or actually good?

brown

Anon Babble AOTY, so actually good

It's objectively extremely high quality, with top-tier animation, direction and overall production value.
It appeals to a wide fanbase because it has:

action for shonenfags

cute girls for moefags

SoL for SoLfags

profound moments for deepfags

It has numerous characters who are quite endearing.
I can understand it not being someone's favorite anime - it's not my favorite - but the people who call it shit are just contrarian or trolling.

Frieren is fucking great, easily one of the best produced anime this decade.
It gave us Frieren, Ubel and Fern who are all really great girls
Although for my picks of girls to represent the 2020s, I would say Yor would actually be a great choice

nobody will remember her by next spring, try again

Sousou no Frieren is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and SADNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the magic, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole wizard faggotry and everything about the Sousou no Frieren world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on loss, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Sousou no Frieren is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to Anon Babble, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it,

Mogged by Yuki and all three Makeine main girls in the same season.

Fern is too fat.

Okay, but is there any marriage or having children? I don't want to sit through mundane family plotlines
Save it, my freirend. It's all yours!

>action for shonenfags

>cute girls for moefags

>SoL for SoLfags

>profound moments for deepfags

That's all you needed to say. Why this isn't just the standard by now is beyond me

Okay, but is there any marriage or having children?

No. The central theme is Frieren regretting she didn't form a closer bond with Himmel while Himmel was alive.

Frieren is just VEG but with every character being the same repetitive cliche, with lots of shounenshit thrown in and without actual top-tier animation.
It's the perfect example why writers frontloading their stories is the norm these days.

shitsuka

cope

Oyama Mahiro

I like her but she's flavor of the season

waifu

of the X

NOT HOW THAT SHIT WORKS. Fucking casual retards. Waifu is lifeu. Waifu is all time. Waifu is indelible. Waifu is immortal. When the last stars in the cosmos burn out and time ceases to exist waifu will still be. Waifu is.

It's harder to pull off than it sounds.
It's hard to make moe characters that don't turn off shonenfags. It's hard to do too many action scenes without turning off moefags. Etc.
Frieren seems to strike just the right balance.

Because appealing to the lowest common denominator is a monetary approach to making entertainment, not an artistic one

Laufen is my favorite Frieren girl.

Cope

How can you say that? Alya's cuteness sparked some feeling i havent had in years.

Based and true. Also, who voted for Kirino?

It's probably Freiren or Bochi. Also while I enjoy Asuka more, it's significantly more accurate to list Rei as the Waifu of the 90's.

Was this meme made in 2010? No one gives a fuck about Kirino. Even the drooling retards who actually watched OreImo preferred Ruri. Where is the Anon Babble waifu of the year chart?

2010

insanely fucking based

The only people who care enough to make a chart at the people who care too much about making sure their choice gets listed

waifu

Every single anime that's popular on here is also popular on reddit and vice versa, so what do you mean by "reddit shit"?

shitrino

Nobody cared about this bitch. Nice try rubycuck.

Like shit that cr1ticalpenguinz would soiface over. AoT, Promised Neverland, Re Zero, etc

MUH DICK

Fucking kek. In that case, yeah it kind of is.

Well whatever Ubel is my favorite girl in the series

AoT, Promised Neverland, Re Zero, etc

All of this are super popular on Anon Babble, at least promised neverland before it got shit, and Re Zero took up most of the threads on the catalogue after the "I love Emilia" episode.

Anyone who's complaining of "reddit" anime on Anon Babble is either a newfag who rolled into here last month after reading Anon Babble's full history on encyclopedia dramatica or is an oldfag loser trying to gain clout in an anonymous imageboard where 99% of the user base only came here in the past 5 years and thus his clout chasing is irrelevant and sad.

action for shonenfags

cute girls for moefags

SoL for SoLfags

profound moments for deepfags

Translation: it's slop made to appeal most people as possible

I'm surprised 02 isn't on here

Stealth Kirino thread. Retarded. The actual most popular and iconic waifu of the decade for 2010s was probably Zero Two

it's impossible that the author could like all four of these elements, want to incorporate them in the work, and do it well

and do it well

Not the case of Frieren. The shipping faggotry and shonen arc ruined the story.

The shipping faggotry and shonen arc ruined the story.

Well, there's my answer. It's reddit shit.

2018

Fuck, she's the only decade waifu material in recent years

Show was not a big deal outside Anon Babble circlejerk

02 herself isn't bad but her fucking series sucked

I love Kirino but Rem is by far the waifu of the 2000s (see how many figures she has).

At least you got the right color palette.

Mikasa Ackerman

from 2010 to 2020? Maybe some isekai girl

muh sekrit animu

fpbp

AoT is a 2010s series so it wouldn't count

Anon likes violent Tsunderes and he tries to force it as a universal opinion

Cringe

Waifu of the decade

Holo the Wise Wolf isn't in for 2000's

The fuck kind of shit list is this?

flavor of the season

It's going to be her and you will like it

Do you guys actually like this design? looks like a generic anime girl. Anon Babble is a shithole

2010 is just plane wrong. It's Rem by a mile and any other argument is pure cope.

I want to rape Alya's shithole

She really is. Her and the other girls designs are so easy to replicate on AI, it's uncanny.

An entire generation of japanese kids grew up with Kirino, Zero who?
youtube.com/watch?v=6gJRQ4lbP9Y

lum is not a tsundere

DYEWTS

She is, end of the conversation.

Not even best Russian girl

Why do Russians in anime always have white hair?

its Yor.

It would've been Nagatoro, but she's more mid10s-mid20s

Snow white purity is what it represents

Let's Ghoooooooo

Irrelevant after "I love Emilia"

Based Kirino winning waifu of the decade.

I can accept that

Tsundere don't call their bfs Darling, jump on them nor are they affectionately hugging them

I would absolutely agree with this one, Yor is so damn good and underutilized

factually untrue, there are many Anon Babble darlings that never got popular on reddit

I still don't understand why Asuka is here over Rei, everyone knows Rei was the main focus when EVA was airing. Also where's Saber?

That's the dere half, retard

Asuka was always more popular than Rei
However Rei was more popular in the home country and that's what the really matters at the end of the day

Anyone who doesn't choose Youka is fucking retarded.

cinnamon roll girly girl

also the strongest character in verse

the MC will probably break his pelvis when they finally bang

Asuka was always more popular than Rei

No, Rei was literally the most popular character when EVA was airing weekly, we have statements about this. She was the one that created gap moe. Asuka eventually became more popular due to EVA becoming more popular outside of Japan, but it was all about Rei with the OG.

this but unironically.

I hope tomorrow's chapter will finally give her the development she desperately needs

That's the point I'm trying to make
Asuka was more popular in the rest of the world but Rei got the attention of the home country and we all know that Nippon > Za Warudo when it comes to what Japanese studios think

The waifus of 2020 are all from fucking gachas. Nobody draws anime fanart anymore.

1980s

I'm still too anime-newfag to know who this is.

1990s

Fair.

2000s

Jesus fuck no. Why would anyone like this sociopathic narcissistic boring rapist retard?

2010s

Solid pick, but I think Nakano Nino edges her.

2020s

It's still early, but I'm going Mizuhara Chizuru.

you call me a retard when you are this stupid? how the fuck is being overly affectionate, wanting to sleep with him, kiss and being incredibly honest about her feeling since her appearance just a part of "dere"? Where is the tsun? Being jealous is not being tsundere mongoloid

we need a good Yor questions garden arc

The end of the last chapter has her run into Melinda so perhaps it will be the start of a good Yor arc

SxF

development

Asuka was more popular in the rest of the world

The "rest of the world" didn't even catch onto EVA until over a decade later. I remember when the big EVA boom of the West happened so Asuka didn't surpass Rei until many years later, definitely not while the OG was airing.

I know I'm being too fucking hopeful but SxF is one of my "big three" manga that I am following alongside Iruma and Mato Seihei no Slave

2000s

What's the appeal of Rei as a waifu? She's pretty, sure, but so are all anime girls, and she'a not even in the top three most interesting girls in her own series.

Riza outdoing WInry

As it should be

SNEED and CG were a disaster to the anime industry as a whole. What a waste of a decade.

2010s

She changed the entire game when she smiled at Shinji for the first time, not even kidding. You can find academic papers written on Rei, if you know nip, that's how popular she was when EVA aired.

According to culture critic Hiroki Azuma, as Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion became a more prominent character among fans, she "changed the rules" governing what people regarded as moe-inspiring.

Rei was more popular in Japan because she was the kind of woman that Japanese men liked at the time

1980s

early 1990s

Ayukawa Madoka will always be the most beautiful girl of the 80s
But I wont lie that Kyouko from Maison Ikkoku is a great runner up
Also nice to see one of the Bubblegum girls too

madoka and kyouko basically look the same

There is a significant difference between the two, especially the hair

So it's like a je ne sais quois factor? I appreciate your informative answer, even if it still doesn't quite answer my question.

I guess she just had something that drove anime fans crazy, same with Lum and any other super popular female character. If I had to pick one for 2016-2024, I would say Rem. Saber deserves an honorable mention for the 2000s/2010s,.

kaori from city hunter

huh..

She's cute as hell so I'm cool with that pick, she's my third favorite 80s anime girl

saeko is sexier but kaori is good even if she gets violent

Sailor Uranus number 1

Good fucking taste

haha no

Sakura is the queen of the 90s

ラム is always the best.

Not waifu. SLAVEU

Slafu technically works linguistically in a lot of languages, but it's harder to parse out the intent in english.

Considering the context with waifu, I'm sure Anon Babble fags can understand

Aira is better. Cuter, more affectionate, and more devoted to justice

Nobody knows who Kirino is

2010s

kirino

WRONG

I miss Madoka so much...

Too late Yuki. Fpbp has spoken.

2010s was Misaka Mikoto.

I don’t know anyone from 2011...

Tomoko wasn't a waifu, Tomoko was us until she became a yuri manga and then she became a daughteru.

Riza first place

Are pro gun women really that desirable?

ranma 2 years in a row

no shampoo

What a bunch of faggots

Literally. Waifuing a man.
