Who else? Also, would someone care to nominate a specific Claymore?
Post script: It would be helpful if you name specific characters. I haven’t yet seen Black Lagoon, and I will probably never watch School Days, so I don’t know which characters are which in those. Thank you.
School Days has a pair of scary ass girls.
where’s senjougahara(bakemonogatari)? she’s some scary intimidation filled chick.
Tiriel, in Shakugan no Shana. Remember those creepy twins who were the second Crimson Lords that Shana fought? Tiriel is the girl.
Anything female in Black Lagoon.
For Umineko, it should be “Maria” (Ushiromiya) not “Marie”. Others from Umineko: Bernkastel and LamdaDelta (though it will only becomes really clear if the last four episodes of the game are made into an anime) and Eva-Beatrice. Since Mirai Nikki will be made into an anime, you can include Yuno Gasai, probably the ultimate yandere.
From Black Lagoon – Revy is probably not the scariest, but she’s the leading lady and she is very scary indeed, particularly when she gets that look in her eye (which is usually just before she kills everyone). Other top contenders would be Balalaika, local Russian mafia boss and paratrooper during the Russian-Afghan war; Roberta, an ex-FARC guerilla and internationally wanted assassin and unstopabble engine of death and maid; Eda, a CIA agent working within the Church of Violence; and Gretel, a young Romanian girl who wields a M1918 BAR bigger than she is and who would be the scariest character in any normal anime but barely makes it into the top 10 here.
Oh, just noting that you’re talking about girls and not women – no-one would describe Balalaika as a girl, and Roberta seems unlikely there too. Revy and Eda are in their (early?) 20’s. Gretel on the other hand would be no older than 12 and is creepy as hell.
Haruhi Suzumiya. Bad: has powers to change the world to suit her. Worse: she doesn’t know it, yet they still work.
If a teenage girl that’s able to mold reality to her whims isn’t the most terrifying thing in the universe, I don’t know what is.
I’ll count characters in their mid-twenties as “girls” if they seem young for their age. That’s the upper limit, though.
Roberta’s meido outfit and quiet mode are too much in the way of fetish fuel to take her seriously. Revy, on the other hand… but even she’s beaten out by Gretel. Impossible for her to carry that BAR, but yeah, she terrifies hardened criminals. And it’s no joke. Also, the’s “Sawbones” and “Chinglish” from that series. Yep, pretty much any female in Black Lagoon.
With only one episode so far, I can’t legitimately nominate Sattelizer El Bridgette from Freezing, but damn, she makes Saber look cuddly as she mercilessly slices her way through her classmates, speaking only once.
Hansel & Gretel are bar none the scariest pair of monsters in Black Lagoon. It’s not the “little girl, big BAR”, it’s the rest of it, best described as “Jeffrey Dahmer as a pair of sexually ambiguous Terminator-esque prepubescent Romanian orphans”, which makes for the Nightmare Fuel Unleaded. Only problem is, due to the (textually rigorous) ambiguity, I’m not sure if “Gretel” counts as a little girl.
The rest of the sociopaths and psychopaths in Black Lagoon are everyday monsters in comparison with those two.
What Mitch said. Or as Dr. Heinous put it after watching their arc: “That was brutal. High octane unleaded…
