Bishoujo rankings – Top 10 ZEXCS girls
The daily pilgrimage to my favourite 2D image board yielded this fabulous picture of Felli (by Cruizer) and triggered some reflections on Chrome Shelled Regios and ZEXCS's bishoujos. Chrome Shelled Regios didn't become the anime-great I have envisioned but it did have a memorable bishoujo cast most anime series can only dream of crafting. I attribute it to the ZEXCS touch.
While there are many anime bishoujos I like, ZEXCS bishoujos - I love. ZEXCS appears to have deeper insight to the female psyche and leverages on that to infuse greater character charm/dimensions to their girls. One of the things that ZECXS does very well is jealous girls which also explain their memorable tsunderes.
Anyhow, inspired by Felli as a tribute to ZEXCS girls, here's a top 10 ranking of my favourite ZEXCS bishoujo in ascending order of love.
10. Fujinami Tomoko (Canvas 2 ~ nijiiro no canvas)
Almost made my fav light haired loli list. We need a dedicated OVA ala Kotori's DCIF!
09. Momiji Miyabe (Wagaya oinarisama)
I was ensnared with Wagaya ep 13. No mortal is likely to resist her siren song.
08. Sagisawa Yoriko (Da Capo)
She made my upcoming favourite maids list too! Da Capo ep 22 is a BIG reason why she's on the list too.
07. Adilicia Ren Mathers (Rental Magica)
Undisputably the BEST Ojou-tsundere in all of 2D-dom. She's the reason why I pray for Rental Magica 2.
06. Kou (Wagaya no Oinarisama)
A inspirational figure for another list of mine. Kou is my favourite miko (Sadly there isn't enough miko love from me to make a list for her to head.)
05. Elis Housen (Canvas 2)
Blond, beautiful and sixteen. I'm sorry Kiri but I think Hiroki picked the right girl.
04. Emelenzia Beatrix Rudiger (Megadere)
Her confession ranks in my top 5 anime confessions of all time. Loli short twin tails FTW!
03. Shirakawa Kotori (Da Capo)
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! KOTORI IN 3RD PLACE??! Alright I confess. I only grew to LOVE Kotori in 2nd season where she's becomes the lead. Sadly DCSS is not produced by ZEXCS. Still she scored well with D.C I.
02. Felli Loss (Chrome Shelled Regios)
She who inspired this post. If you haven't seen Chrome Shelled regios, watch it. Felli alone is worth it.
01. Asakura Nemu (Da Capo)
*Dodges tomato/rotten eggs* I don't need to explain myself. I LOVE NEMU of DC!! In fact I think I'll wear twin ribbons in my hair for the week as a show of love.
Putting together this post has led to a startling discovery - ZEXCS has an ongoing anime production!
*Dashes off to download Umi monogatari*

Nemu…really? Ah well enjoy Umi Monogatari, I have been having an inordinate amount of fun with it. I’d expect Zyl to be all over it given all the hugging, but i suspect this has more to do with a certain loli…
I like Sakura more than Momiji from Wagaya Oinarisama.

Umi appears to be mahou-shoujo-ai for girls. I love the character design, especially Marin. She has to be the most beautiful 2D girl I’ve seen in years. That said, while I enjoyed the earlier eps, the latter ones are bogged by sluggish pace and tangential backstories. Hoping it start gathering momentum for a strong finish.
I like Sakura a lot too. In fact the entire female cast could have make this list if it was top 20. Byakki and Mubyou included.

I didn’t think it dragged that much though it is easier to take in a marathon manner. Marin was great especially when she was declaring how she will protect the feeling of love in Kanon-chan.

Heh, as I was telling Zyl, it’s a series made through and through from him. Lots of ‘oneechan’ crooning and countless girl-girl hugs. :3

So I guess this means I need to actually go ahead and watch Rental Magica, huh? Having Ueda Kana voicing a main character got me to start it, but I got sidetracked by Darker Than Black after watching a few episodes.

Rental Magica is very presentative of current ZEXCS works – great cast weightened with incomplete stories hence a diminished sense of the endings. It is so with Wagaya no oinarisama, Chromed Shelled Regios, Megadere. Still I recommend heartily Rental magica if not for Adilica – one of the greatest ojou tsunderes there is.

A very good list, sasuga Stripey – I just noticed the categories on your blogroll too, I have to admit I’m honored to be in the “bishoujo sect” in spite of my next-to-nonexistent posts lately ^_^

Kudos to Zyl actually who organised the blogroll.
As they always say, once a bishoujo-enthusiast, always a bishoujo-enthusiast. Plus few have credentials as yourself who watched Yoakena twice

lol…for Feena-hime’s sake it was worth it
