Oh, we're here. We're just sifting through all the noise that's on this
board and posting relevant replies to relevant posts =) You know the ones
I mean, the ones that discuss how Keiichi & Belldandy get it on and with
whom else in the room. The ones that say 'Why would girls like DBZ?'.
The ones that say 'Linna's the best!' 'No, Priss is the best!' 'No, Nene's
the BEST!'. That sort of thing =)

Well of course we exist, what a silly (and frequently asked) question!
Hey, maybe that should be added to the r.a.a. FAQ: Yes, Female Anime Fans
Do Exist. :)
And if you want to know what type of anime we females like, the anwser
is: all kinds! I am certainly not into *only* shoujo stuff. Though I do
enjoy quite a bit of shoujo, I like many different types of anime! The
anime I enjoy include Macross Plus (Or any other type of Macross,
Robotech included,), 3x3 Eyes (loved the 3x3 Eyes II ep I saw as well!),
Sailor Moon (Both Original and US versions), anything Miyazaki, OMG, VGAi,
Irresponsible Capt. Tyler, Greenwood, Dragon Half, Blue Seed, Tenchi Muyo,
Marmalade Boy, Hime-chan no Ribbon, Akazukin Cha Cha, KOR, Lupin III,
Villgust, Ko Century Beast, Maison Ikkoku, Urusei Yatsura, Dirty Pair
(Original and Flash Versions), etc etc. I tend to lean towards comedy a
bit. :)

guys want to know this...
But..I'll let you in on something...Some of us post under
our boyfriend's account(like me!)or under a psudonym.
Why? To avoid tons of "pick up" lines like"hey,baby you wanna watch
Tenchi with me somtime??"
Yes, drastic, I know, but if you've been in fandom as long as I have,
you've not only SEEN, but recieved enough stupid lines to choke a horse.
PERIOD.Have ANY of you read Terri Karvonen's article in the latest V-Max?
Ping-Pong! Why some of us remain in hiding! Terri touches on valid and TRUE
points of being a female(good-looking,too)anime fan. I know them as well
as her, as I costume as Kei at cons.
But, do not fear.. WE EXIST....

Only been in it about a year, was a little slow to get started. One of
the things that went against me was the first anime Peter brought home
was Dirty Pair, which I positively hated (no disrepect meant to all the
DP fans out there). Then he started on the Bubblegum Crisis series, which
I despised too (again, no disrepect meant to the many BGC fans, although
I do admit the music in #1 is great).
I didn't really get into it until I started drawing again and I thought
I'd try my hand at the anime style and picked up one of those fat Japanese
magazines. In it, was an ad for Oh! My Goddess (which I couldn't tell at
the time as I can't read Japanese) and I was so intrigued by Belldandy,
that I just had to find out who she was. Got the video, and that's what
finally hooked me (ironic that I ended up liking Urd the best).
Since then, I decided to get the kids away from the "scantily clad babes
bearing guns" genre (after Peter brought home Gall Force) and started
on the Ranma series (from suggestions gleaned from this newsgroup). We
are now thoroughly addicted to Ranma, tho lightyears hehind everyone else
(we just picked up the one that introduced Ryoga).
Jonathan (my 9 year old) discovered Ronin Warriors all on his own last
summer which was to his advantage because we managed to get about 5 of
the figures before they all disappeared. And I got hyped up on Sailor
Moon from all the animated discussion here (and consequently got both my
kids heavily into it).
We're going out of town in a couple weeks and frankly, I don't know what
will be worse -- missing Gargoyles or missing Sailor Moon....

trying to pick up girls). I've wondered myself where female fans are
hiding out. I have a large number of friend who are anime fans, and none
of them are female. I've also noticed a, well, shortage of them at
conventions and clubs. They're just not quite as numerous as male fans,
any suggestions why. (Note: this in no way implies they do not exist or
are scarce, just that there are less female than male fans).

Either that, or just curious. Someone stuck in Anime Wasteland, USA or
some other equally godforsaken place. I guess I should count myself lucky;
I attend a college (Carnegie Mellon U) with a sizable anime club. And yes,
there are females present. ;)
Sadly, don't have a GF yet. Not for lack of trying, though.

Heh. How about "falling", so to speak, for a character in a story you're

Eugene said it best. WOW! That is quite a list. It's no surprise
that there are female Macross fans. Macross has something for everyone.
I haven't seen even half of your list, but my list of anime watched does
compensate.
Back to the female otaku subject. Why would someone ask this? I am
guessing that the initiator of this whole thread is a man. I have a bad
feeling that the reason he asked this was because he wanted to pick up
on some women, or that he watched SO much anime that he didn't have
time to leave his bedroom and mingle with the opposite sex. Questions
like these give other anime-fans a bad reputation as losers. That's

Gosh, I wonder why some of these guys even care <i, a guy myself>. Is
it that guys want to know if they are the only existing anime fans? Or
are these Anime guys getting lonely and wishing to find someone of the
opposite sex with the same interests? Or are the guys becoming sexist?
Either way, YES! Lot's of female fans exist out there. Why don't you
guys see them much? Dunno, maybe you guys scared them with the Ryo
Saeba act.

Akira is cool! Prior to renting it at Blockbuster I thought Japanese

Then I saw Akira and I told myself "Wow, Japanese animation is serious

They're hiding from the smelly fat guys with the bad hair and the t-shirt
of Nausicaa with her shirt half-open and REALLY BIG HOOTERS. >_<
(Yes, folks, I actually saw this t-shirt once.)
If most of these guys stop acting like hormonal teens whose only
interest in females is to see them nekkid and start giving them
some *respect*, they'll show up.
The prez of my local anime "group" is female, as are
a sizable contingent of my friends in fandom...

Female fans do not exist in the concentrations that male fans do.
Therefore we tend to use the mail rather than joining fan clubs, as a lot
of clubs are 90% male and never show the stuff we want to watch (there is
an enormous lot of overlap between what men like and what women like, but
it is true that women are a lot more into shows with pretty bishonen than
guys tend to be). Also, there are fewer women on the Internet (according
to a recent survey, the net is only about 40% female).
I have never tried to keep my sex quiet, as I'm perfectly capable of
utterly humiliating a guy who thinks that he's god's gift to women. My
experience, however, is that most male anime fans are shy and will not
hit on women they don't know. So if women *are* keeping away from the
anime boards out of fear that guys will hit on them, they really need to
learn how to handle reality. The Internet is one of the safest places
there is, as long as you don't give out your home address.

Probably a large part. :) There is something like a 90/10 percentage
of men/women involved in the hobby. (Like all my other interests...)
It is only natural to start wondering where the women are.
In my six odd years watching anime, the only time I have seen women
come to gatherings is apparently against their better judgement with
their boyfriends, whom they talked out of it. They all left early.

Perhaps they had better anime at home they could see together...

Look at the utdallas.edu message again. It's signed "Lauren" (the

that exists, is the babes with guns syndrome, which guys will of
course like, and females will despise. Personally, I hate it. But
whenever I talk to a fan of that genre of anime they give the Beavis

piss off anyone who likes this, but its not for me. I like story,

I don't know the extent of female fandom, but I do know that some can relate.
A friend of mine realized that I watched Ranma 1/2 by the poster on my dorm
room wall. She instantly went into detail on how much she liked to watch
_Totoro_ (and I mean the subtitled version). She also told me about how
much she liked Robotech as a kid.
What I get out of this is that many people can relate with anime. Although,
some might not be obsessed fanatics of anything with a Japanese tongue and
large eyes, some can relate to when they used to watch this genre as a kid.
You might be surprised at the number who remember Voltron, Starblazers,
Robotech, or anything in this category. I know I was.

The number of female anime fans is extremely small. 90% male, 10% female
is probably what it is. Go to conventions. You 'll see this ratio. So
if your an otaku looking for a girlfriend who also is an anime fan, tough
luck... finding one is like lotto. Why? I don't know. My girlfriend
hates anime, and she thought Ranma is very stupid. I was upset at her
remarks, but at least she watched KOR and said it was OK. So forget about
finding that special someone that will share your interests. Give up and
just have a relationship with a girl that shares other similiar interest.
The "anime gene" shows up alot in many males and few females. Just kidding.
And don't think you can use Tenchi pick up lines on R.A.A. or #anime! with
girls, cause when you chase, they will run. Its the genetic thing, males
pick up on females, females never pick up on males. They just kick back
and either accept you or dump you! Life isn't like Ranma 1/2 where girls
are asking you out. It is embedded in our genes for males and females to
have these qualities.
Wow, that was a good one! I'm gonna get flamed for this one!
PS: However, if you are lucky to know female anime fans, they are really cool!
Some of them laugh like B-ko! Its hillarious! But like I said, they are
very very few of them if any. You'll find a few of them lingering about
the bay area. I'll count about 5 of them.

are a very unique type of woman, for you see, just like otoko otaku, they
like those who look like an anime character. So while you my dear chummers
are looking for Miria and Linna lookalikes, WE'RE looking for Ranma, Max
Sterling, and Hiroshi from Moldiver lookalikes....and most male otaku just
don't fit the bill. They are nice, but if they don't have long hair,
glasses, and a soft masculine voice, they lose. Most onna otaku date (or
marry!) the folowing "prototypes"...
Max Sterling (there is something about this guy....)
Harlock (I have no idea why)
Mousse (no, this isn't biased, Pearl-san. I'm not the only one that would
like to strip this bit of pen and ink down to his au naturel state and
find out about his "real" hidden weapon.)
and...
any anime male who dosn't get extremely hentai over a naked woman. You
name the type, they'll be the faves most of the time. (though there ARE
exceptions...)
If you want to impress an onna otaku and she has no fave man at the moment
animewise, try the tactics of these characters...
Hiroshi (Moldiver....sweet yet naive) Professor Go (Giant Robo... NO I'm
not kidding...he is your basic chinese gentleman) Mousse (skip the
nearsightedness, and just be dying to love her. Round rimmed glasses, long
hair of any color, and a slim yet slightly chisled build helps. Anime-man
type build...)
That may help....

It's not an Anime title, it's part of the "plot" (a term I use
loosely) for Urotsukidoji II.

Let's see, got the glasses,
Hair gets curly when that long, very unmanagable and annoying.
I could slim down 10 pounds or so.
But most of these people are tall in comparison, can't do
anything about the height (I'm short) or the voice - I'm kinda
stuck with those :p

Hmmm...
Would it help if I looked like Godai Yushaku (Maison Ikkoku)/Moteuchi Youta
(Video Girl Ai), and was about as shy?
Hmmm...

Uhm. Yeah! Well, when I was a kid I always wanted to be like
Harlock. I didn't want to be a space pirate, I wanted to scar my face
and wear my hair like his.
Well, I ain't got no glasses. I cut my long hair because I do a
lot of dancing, and it's HOT! And I'm not exactly chiseled. I do,
however, have a ridiculously-deep radio announcer voice.
Guess I'm doomed to a life of loneliness, eh? :-) Actually, I've
got a girlfriend-- and she's scared to death of anything except Ranma
1/2. She's getting better though-- I showed her the Five Star Stories,
and she liked it!
I remain, people,

real, legitimate question needs to be asked...not whenwho' your
favorite... or the best, ect. At least I don't waste time with that.
Some of us are even married (gasp! sorry all you male-seeking-female
fans) and better yet, I myself am married to a fan! If any of the other
gals are like me, My husband usually gets online before me & fills me
in on anything good in this newsgroup anyway, so I don't get to sort
through it all. But yes, we're here. I have been at I-Con since #9
and hasve spent 99% of the time there watching Anime. Some may have
seen me...I'm the girl w/the Iczer-One jacket!
Hint: Guys...find yourelf an anime gal! She probably won't get mad
when you're constantly buying / watching / reading anime & manga,
becuase it's something she likes too (so it's not seen as a total waste
of time & money)! At least I don't!

NOW that I have my respectable jdi...@delphi.com sig (I HATE AOL!!!) I
can go back to my rip roaring onna otaku hentai self!!!!!
I am in love with an otaku, he has long hair and glasses and an anime
build. This is ALSO the type of men I hear other women date if they are
onna otaku. This is JUST what I've come acrosss, that's all...
Ja ne,

P.s anyone seen any files of Hiroshi (Moldiver) without his towel? (see
episode one, after he fights Machinegal the first time and he's fixing
the card...)
Just a thought...

Sorry toots. But this female otaku really digs the long
hair.(especially Lord Daryoon from Arislan ;) Well, okay. SOMETIMES I
think Leon is funny. Before the flames start, I didn't say always. Just
every now and then. Otherwise, I think Priss should just nail him with
one of her darts.;>

funny...reeeeaalll funny. Nah, even though he has Mousse's build and

Ja Ne,

those guys! The first time I saw Hiroshi from Moldiver I squealed like
a high school girl. ("dammit! drop that towel!!!!!")
It's just the hair gives them a gentle look...like they won't hurt you
or kill you. (real fear if you watch enough anime and you're a girl)
A passionate look...something that can only be frozen as an expression, not
words...a look of innocent peace and doe eyed fear, things you don't
find in "real" men. Men are so afraid of being considered gay they won't
look or act like what some anime men act like. You don't see Max Sterling
trying to kill Rick in a freindly fight. (men like to sometimes beat
each other up to look "Macho") or Hiroshi beating the snot out of the enemy
like Van Damme. These men fight and work in a firm but gentle manner; class,
not brawn. Style, not power.
Now that Iv'e spelt it out for you guys, do you undrstand?

I have only seen a few men like that (James Spader, the cute guy who would make the perfect Max Sterling, and my astonomy teacher, Mr. Gohl.

Something men tend not to realize is long hair needs constant maintenance
in order to look good. Guess since our society currently insists on short
hair for men, they don't emphasize this fine point.
For the record, I thought Nephrite was tres hot. *sigh*

Well, there's Yang Wenli from LoGH. But I also like Goemon from Lupin, and
while Mousse doesn't do anything for me personally, I can see why he's so
popular. So sorry, I have to cast my vote for the longhairs.
why is there never a "MALE anime character you'd most want to marry/have sex
with/etc." thread? oh, yeah, no female anime fans, I forgot.

I have hair long at the back, and the front grows over my right eye... The
left side is cut short.
When I get it cut, I plan to remove the back, but keep the front bit!
