How the Kud Wafter heroines aren’t completely at the bottom when I haven’t read it yet is anyone’s guess.

[VierMill]

My number 1 was Mio Nishizono, I’m not impressed.
This didn’t take long at all, actually, it was pretty short after I did a Touhou Character sorter…

[cjlim2007]

The hardest one for me was definitely Nagisa vs Shizuru but overall I like Nagisa more. However, this list is incomplete as it is missing the real best girl who was not in selection.

[Aspirety]

Interesting mix of good and shit taste you have there @cjlim2007

[Karifean]

Look who’s talking.

Once again I’m reminded of how shit this whole forum’s taste is. Like what the fuck guys. How can you live with yourself after scoring Tomoyo so damn low.

[Aspirety]

I’m with Kanon regarding her character. She’s so perfect it becomes boring. Not that I hate her, she’s just very eh to me.

Maybe Tomoyo After will turn that around.

Well…I guess it doesn’t judge if a character likes you more than you like her.

[VyseGolbez]

This didn’t take long at all, actually, it was pretty short after I did a Touhou Character sorter

No wonder, I just did the math, and it should have taken you approximately one forth of the time you needed for Touhou Characters.

Now for my list, since I only know Clannad’s cast, I just did a merge sort on paper for these. That’s the result:
Edit: Now with Sanae and Ushio:

1. Nagisa Furukawa
2. Ushio
3. Sanae Furukawa
4. Kotomi Ichinose
5. Yukine Miyazawa
6. Kyou Fujibayashi
7. Mei Sunohara
8. Ryou Fujibayashi
9. Tomoyo Sakagami
10. Fuko Ibuki
11. Misae Sagara

So imagine that all other Key-heroines are sharing the twelveth place.

Yes, I actively dislike Kanade

fight me irl m8

Overal pretty accurate. I didn’t expect Misae to be so high but the top 5 is spot on.

Also you’re missing one of the Little Busters! girls:

[Takafumi]

Pretty sure I’ve done a Key one of these before. Posted the results on twitter, but it was a long time ago.

I’d do a bit of rearranging, but the top 3 is accurate. In regards to the top 10, I’d put Tomoyo lower and Yukine higher. I’d probably put Iwasawa above Akane and Lucia, and I’d put Minagi a bit further down.

[ripeforthepicking]

Discarding the characters from the works that I haven’t seen yet (or don’t have a strong enough opinion, as Angel Beats…) Top 10 Akane, Shizuru, Mio, Nayuki, Yuiko, Tomoyo, Kotomi, Kotori, Rin, Haruka. Quite acceptable. Was expecting Shiori in the top 10, though…

[Sonic112003]

Here are the results of my list:

1. Moon Route Kagari
2. Yumemi Hoshino
3. Nagisa Furukawa
4. Shiori Misaka
5. Akane Senri
6. Kotomi Ichinose
7. Fuuko Ibuki
8. Terra Route Kagari
9. Misuzu Kamio
10. Yukine Miyazawa
11. Mio Nishizono
12. Komari Kamikita
13. Kotori Kanbe
14. Kannabi no Mikoto
15. Ayu Tsukimiya
16. Shizuru Nakatsu
17. Sayuri Kurata
18. Minagi Tohno
19. Saya Tokido
20. Kanata Futaki
21. Yuiko Kurugaya
22. Masami Iwasawa
23. Tomoyo Sakagami
24. Mai Kawasumi
25. Kudryavka Noumi
26. Kyou Fujibayashi
27. Rin Natsume
28. Uraha
29. Lucia Konohana
30. Yui
31. Ryou Fujibayashi
32. Nayuki Minase
33. Chihaya Ohtori
34. Yuri Nakamura
35. Mei Sunohara
36. Nao Tomori
37. Haruka Saigusa
38. Kanade Tachibana
39. Kano Kirishima
40. Kanako
41. Makoto Sawatari
42. Sasami Sasasegawa
43. Yusa Nishimori
44. Misae Sagara
45. Misa Kurobane
46. Ayumi Otosaka
47. Yuuki Himuro
48. Shiina Arizuki
49. Ui Arizuki

There were some tough choices I had to make regarding the list so I think I’m satisfied with the results though there were some of the heroines I wished I was familiar with, especially Saya Tokido, since I never did finish her route in Little Busters! EX before as well as Yuuki Himuro for Kud Wafter either. I’m not good with ranking characters but I did enjoy using the sorter and I hope my results were adequate to the best of my ability.

[Mogaoscar]

Here are my results:

1 Masami Iwasawa
2 Yuiko Kurugaya
3 Tomoyo Sakagami
4 Rin Natsume
5 Nayuki Minase
5 Kyou Fujibayashi
5 Haruka Saigusa
8 Yuri Nakamura
9 Yui
10 Misae Sagara
11 Shiori Misaka
11 Mai Kawasumi
11 Sayuri Kurata
11 Nagisa Furukawa
11 Fuuko Ibuki
11 Ryou Fujibayashi
11 Yumemi Hoshino
11 Komari Kamikita
11 Mio Nishizono
11 Kanata Futaki
11 Kanade Tachibana
22 Nao Tomori
23 Misa Kurobane
23 Ayumi Otosaka
25 Ayu Tsukimiya
25 Yukine Miyazawa
25 Kudryavka Noumi
25 Saya Tokido
25 Sasami Sasasegawa
25 Yuuki Himuro
25 Shiina Arizuki
25 Ui Arizuki
25 Kotori Kanbe
25 Chihaya Ohtori
25 Akane Senri
25 Shizuru Nakatsu
25 Lucia Konohana
25 Moon Route Kagari
25 Terra Route Kagari
25 Yusa Nishimori
41 Makoto Sawatari
41 Misuzu Kamio
41 Kano Kirishima
41 Kannabi no Mikoto
41 Uraha
41 Kotomi Ichinose
41 Mei Sunohara
48 Minagi Tohno
48 Kanako

The top ten is pretty accurate, with a special mention for number 5, where we have 3 heroines from 3 different VN’s with clashing personalities, a really outgoing one, an abuser and one that you can’t tell whether she’s awake or still sleeping.

Also, numbers 11 and 25 are massive Harems (lucky me?).

The reason why many Rewrite heroines are so low is because I haven’t read Rewrite yet, so no hate please.

However both @cjlim2007 and me know that the one who should be on top in every single list is Ushio.

[Gnashes]

This simply solidifies that Iwasawa, Yukine, and Shiori are da best.

[soggysadboi]

My results:

1. Shizuru Nakatsu
2. Kotomi Ichinose
3. Haruka Saigusa
4. Kotori Kanbe
5. Yuiko Kurugaya
6. Mio Nishizono
7. Yumemi Hoshino
8. Moon Route Kagari
9. Komari Kamikita
10. Yuri Nakamura

After that it all kinda just meshes and I can’t really agree or disagree with it.

(I realize I probably have shit taste)

[octoberpumpkin]

Ahhh I love these things and I want to try it so much, but I haven’t read enough of the VNs >.<

The impressions I had with some of the characters kind of mix with my first impression watching the anime, example clannad kyou, shiori These two characters really moved on my list after finishing the VN, however that is not really reflected, kyou should be lower and shiori should be higher, however I had a strong like/dislike long ago shrugs I did not like Ryou in kyou route but she was alright in Kappei, however it isn’t really reflected. Also the people at the bottom I don’t really hate is just they didn’t stand out at all to me.

But damn I never knew komari was going to be so damn high lol.

no LBEX characters or KW (didn’t want to vote on routes I haven’t done.)

Also we need this for the guy characters too.

[BlackHayate02]

Update: There are more heroines added (particularly from AB!) that there are 58 of them at this point. Please tell me if I still missed some people. :))

I’ve also added Haruko thinking that she was the most important character during the Air arc. I also didn’t put Ushio’s surname for spoiler reasons. I also changed Misa’s picture because she deserved a better quality pic haha.

[cjlim2007]

I’m only showing the first 7 because I’m too lazy to screenshot and rearrange the rest. I redid it because best girl. Everything after the first 7 is basically the same anyways.

[BlackHayate02]

So I answered my own sorter, and I’ll only put the Top 10 mainly because I haven’t really read Clannad and Kanon (I watched the anime, but it’s been a long time) and I kinda just BS’d most of the answers except for the girls I’m practically sold on.

(Fuuko and Kotomi just followed after this.)

But what the list did right for me was the bottom three barring the characters I’m unfamiliar to:
41 Yusa Nishimori
42 Makoto Sawatari
43 Kano Kirishima

Not like I dislike any of them. They just didn’t stood out to me.
