I'm back guys with another Top Ten post. Orange is a rare but enjoyable hair color that we don't see often in anime but when we do, it does not disappoint. Today I want to give you all my top 10 favorite orange haired cuties! If you guys like this post then consider following the blog or check out my YouTube channel, GiraffePants Anime! Let's get started then!
10. Marika Tachibana
Starting off this countdown is Marika Tachibana from the popular romcom, Nisekoi. Marika is very much the kind of girl who cares for impressions. She loves being fashionable and keeping up the image that she's 'princess' like but that's not why I love her. No, I love her for who she really is! She's actually a country hick who's embarrassed by her accent. She's actually very nice even is she hides it with her prideful nature and up front personality. The fact that she tries to be perfect even though she isn't is pretty relatable. You can more or less understand what she's feeling because many times, we're like that too. She had a layer of depth that isn't hard to understand so you grow to like her. She also happens to be a frail girl; not able to do much physically (and for some reason that makes my heart squeeze) but does her best to keep up with everyone which is admirable in a way. She is I guess, a secret sweetheart and that's enough to get her at the #10 spot.
09. Rin Hoshizora
At #9 in the countdown is Rin Hoshizora from Love Live! Rin makes it onto the list for being quite the enthusiastic ball of energy. You know how there are people that are very energetic but not annoying; yeah, that's Rin right there. Rin has a wonderful atmosphere about her and you can't help but smile when you see her. She keeps a positive mentality and works hard so in a way she's like Honoka but better (did I piss anyone off because that was my intention). She's also a bit of a tomboy and I love tomboys! Tomboys make the world go round! Add that with fact that she's also a bit of a neko girl and hot diggity do we have a contender! I love it when she does her little cat face; It's so fucking cute sometimes I melt! Sure, she may not be the most shapely girl but that doesn't matter when you have a lovely personality. Rin hits up the list at #9 for that exact reason and deserves it too!
08. Erina Nakiri
Next on the list is Erina Nakiri from Shokgeki no Soma! Ah Erina, she isn't everybody's favorite girl from the show but she still is a great girl. I know that it is debatable whether her hair actually qualifies as orange but for the sake of keeping the peace, I consider it in the orange family. Erina makes it on the list mainly for 3 reasons! The most shallow of these reasons is because well... she's freaking hot (but isn't every anime girl hot)! Despite only being like 16, she has a body that could be termed 'daaaaaaaamn!' The second reason is (like most girls from this show) she can cook! She happens to be the best cook at the academy so yeah, getting to eat her food must be a major plus!!! I still don't know why I like girls who can cook (it must be a primal thing). Lastly, the third reason why I like her so much is that she's a tsundere that I like. I'm not the biggest fan of tsunderes but she's an exception for sure. For these simple reasons, Erina land at #8.
07. Chiho Sasaki
At #7 on the list is Chiho Sasaki from The Devil's a Part Timer. Chiho is and adorable ball of laughter. She is definitely one of the more funny girls on this list. She can be very eccentric and is quick to jump to conclusions! It is hilarious to see her act without thinking and she made the show really great! She makes the greatest facial features and says the craziest things sometimes, I can't stop laughing because of her (which is a good thing)! The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach (but that doesn't apply here at all) so the next best thing is through laughter! A girl that can make me laugh gets waifu points all the time! It doesn't hurt that she's also very well curved (cue the pervy monkey face). I mean, they're ridiculously huge aren't they? Anyway, Chiho makes the list for being so darn funny and I love her.
06. Nico Niiyama
At #6 in the countdown is a newer girl in the industry, Nico Niiyama from Kiznaiver. It hurts my heart that her name is Nico (cause I absolutely hate Nico from Love Live!) but that didn't stop me from putting her on the list! I love Nico mainly because she is just so damn weird and I fucking love weirdos (in anime, not in real life). Nico rocks that good kinda weird that we all love. She has crazy highlights, has different high knee socks, does weird things, talks about shit that doesn't exist; everything she does is just super adorable. She's just a great character in general really; she makes me cry, laugh, smile, cry more (I cry a lot for her) and she's so tiny I just want to pick her up and put her on my shelf. I actually don't have a shelf but if I did, I would put her there. The point is, I LOVE Nico with a passion Which gets her to #6 on this list (If I love her that much imagine the next 5).
05. Kotoura
At #5 on the list is Kotoura from Koutora-San. Kotoura makes it at #5 because just as with Nico...I fucking lover her!!! Where do I even begin! I love her personality; she's very distant at first but immediately turns into a caring girl who wishes for life to get better. She can be pretty shy (which is adorable by the way) and her small stature is to die for (this small thing is gonna continue just so you know). She can be funny sometimes and I love how she can get so easily embarrassed. It makes me want to buy a plush or something (but I can't or my parents would disown me and I need somewhere to sleep). Most importantly, It touches my heart how much she's suffered. Poor thing has been through too much and I just want to hug her and heal her and be there for her!!! She's like a wounded puppy and then you take care of it but then you get too attached so you just decide to keep it! I kinda went off topic but the point is, I NEED TO HUG HER! These are all the reasons why Kotoura makes it on this list.
04. Papika
At #4 in the countdown is another new girl, Papika from Flip Flappers. Papika is on this list because she is a pretty rad character. She's energetic, optimistic, an airhead, and very loyal. There are plenty of girls in anime that sport these characteristics but Papika does it with this feel of genuineness. That's the best way I can explain it anyway. Even when things look bleak, Papika can still find a silver lining in the situation. She's also happens to be one of the few magical girls I like. I'm not a huge fan of the genre but Papika and the rest from this show are definitely an exception! She flies on a surfboard thing and shoots crazy energy blasts (none of that love attack bullshit). It looks like some Dragon Ball Z level shit which makes her pretty awesome! Plus Look at that crazy mess of a jungle she has going on her head. She looks like a feral child, but in a good way (If there's a good way). These reasons get Papika at #4 on the list.
03. Shizuku Mizutani
The next beautiful girl on the list is Shizuku Mizutani from My Little Monster. Mizutani makes it on the list for being a secretly cute character. When I was first watching the show, I didn't know what to expect from Shizuku but she turned out to be a great character. Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with her. I think what first grabbed me was the fact that she was socially inept! I myself am socially awkward so seeing her act weird around people got me laughing. Then I saw her trying to interact with people and become more social and I couldn't help but smile! As I kept watching, I started to see cute things that she would do like jump to conclusions or make complicated thoughts and I found it all to be cute. She just came out as a real surprise because I really like her character a lot and her voice is so cute too! It's not that girly or super high pitched (I mean really. What's the deal with Japanese women having incredibly high vocal chords) but it's still cute. There are plenty of things that I like about Shizuku but these are some of those reasons.
02. Aoi Miyamori
The runner up on this list goes to Aoi Miyamori from Shirobako. Aoi makes this list for being another well done character. She's possibly my favorite character of the show and for good reason too (I mean look at that gif, HEART SQEEZE)! Aoi is a production assistant at an animation company and works very hard all the time. I mean if you've ever seen the show you know she works hard. She also drives like crazy and puts everybody's life on the line just for a parking spot (It's like watching Tokyo Drift). She's real hood!!! Jokes aside, Aoi cares a lot for the company that she works for and for her friends as well. She faces a lot of problems while working but always seems to find a way to solve the issue and make everyone happy. She's also very cute (like I have to even say though). God I love her hair! It's so fucking hot (I don't know why, I just like short hair). Her personality is very charming. Again, Positive, energetic, nice are all words that you can use to describe Aoi but I've said that too many times on this post. Anyway, Aoi is a great character and gets high on my list but who's number one!
01. Inami Mahiru
Yes, at #1 on my list and my favorite orange haired cutie in anime is Inami Mahiru from Working! Where shall I begin; Inami has a lot of good qualities about her. She is always thinking about others and makes sure to handle issues with the utmost care. She's very sweet (even if her actions don't reflect it) and she's always trying to improve. The even bigger reason why I love her so much is because she makes me laugh like crazy! She is a very funny character; she has this weird quirk where she hits men...constantly. She has androphobia (fear of men) so whenever she sees a man she winds up her fist and sends them straight to the moon (even if that wasn't her intention). Honestly, I die from her constantly knocking out guys out of nowhere and it never gets old! Add the fact that she is sensitive about her small breasts (plank status) and we have a definite winner. Like I said, No better way to a man's heart than through laughter. Inami's charm and quirkiness get the #1 spot in my list and If anyone has a differing opinion...fight me (actually don't, I have no experience whatsoever in combat, besides SSB).
