To these, let’s add the Brickmuppet’s list:

Yuki Mori/Nova Forrester (Space Cruiser Yamato (Starblazers))
Sayaka Yumi (Mazinger Z)
Lady Eboshi (Princess Mononoke)
Nausicaä (Nausicaä)
Kyoko Otanashi (Maison Ikkoku)

And a couple more from Arson55’s:

Utena Tenjou (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Lina Inverse (Slayers)

Finally, let’s let most of the rest of the previous top ten have another chance: ((Sailor Venus is underage, and kinda flaky, too))

Sharon Apple (Macross Plus)
Priss Asagiri (Bubblegum Crisis OVA)
Grandis Granva (Fushigi no Umi no Nadia)
Pirotess (Record of Lodoss War)
Ifurita (El Hazard)
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
Ginrei Von Vogler (Giant Robo)
Lum (Urusei Yatsura)

And a few of the runners-up:

Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop)
Shampoo (Ranma 1/2)
Kei and Yuri (Dirty Pair)

That gives us 47 candidates, if I counted right. Most of the ladies I had in mind have been nominated, but let me toss out a few more names to consider:

Sora (Oh! Edo Rocket)
Kirika Yumera (Noir)
Eineus (Macademi Wasshoi)
Rue (Princess Tutu)
Alpha (Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou)
Chane Laforet (Baccano!)
Nice Holystone (Baccano!)
Atsuko Chiba (Paprika)

What I think I’ll do is run three rounds of about 17 or 18 candidates each, and then a final round with the top seven from each of the preliminaries. I’ll probably start the polling this weekend after I locate pictures of all the candidates. Until then, nominations are still open. If there is a worthy babe not listed above, please mention her in the comments.

Thank you, everyone who responded, and thanks again, all you who included links to pictures.

Oh, yeah — Rei Ayanami is not eligible for three reasons. 1. She has no “attitude.” 2. She’s underage. 3. She creeps me out.

Update: By all means keep the nominations coming in. And please do point out those who are under sixteen; it’s not always easy to tell. Utena, for instance, seems much more mature than fourteen, and Gurren-Lagann‘s Yoko doesn’t exactly have a fourteen-year-old’s figure.

  1. Man I can’t believe a number of famous babes were left out of the list. Mind if a few last minute nominations can be added?

    Mutsumi Otohime (Love Hina) http://www.guide2lovehina.dk/CharMutsumi.aspx or http://www.projectbag.com/lovehina/pics/mutsumi/mutsumi01_05.jpg
    Mitsune Konno (Love Hina) http://www.guide2lovehina.dk/CharKitsune.aspx or http://www.projectbag.com/lovehina/pics/mitsune/mitsune07_04.jpg
    Haruka Urashima (Love Hina) http://www.guide2lovehina.dk/CharHaruka.aspx
    Tsuruko Aoyama (Love Hina) http://www.guide2lovehina.dk/CharShippu.aspx
    I would have nominated Motoko Aoyama of Love Hina http://www.guide2lovehina.dk/CharMotoko.aspx – she’s immensely popular in that series – if only she wasn’t underage (15), at least at the start of the series.

    I would also have liked to add Kan’u Uncho / Aisha of Koihime Musou http://media.photobucket.com/image/Kanu%2BKoihime/seireisama/animanpic2/kanu_koihime.jpg , but since characters that first appeared in games aren’t counted I guess she won’t qualify.

    Hmm, how did Yoko of Gurren Lagan appear up there? She’s 14 at the start of the series (making her underage).

    Will add more later (gotta get back to work :P)

  7. I’ll point out that Utena’s a little young for your requirements. I include her in my list because the way she is presented in the show is more or less as an adult; she’s dealing with adult situations (including sexual relationships) in an adult manner. However, she is younger than your sixteen year old cut off. That’s why I didn’t mention her myself.

  10. Alpha is definitely worth considering.
    Isn’t Rue too young? Even though she is a babe.

  11. In addition to some really good nominations already in, I would like to nominate the “older” Mikuru Asahina from Haruhi Suzumiya. Although her age is “classified”, she’s in the running agewise, figure-wise, and personality-wise: she’s a confident, self-assured, beautiful young woman.

    With a small, star-shaped mole….
