Anime girls are a really popular topic. Not just when it comes to volume of Google Searches, but also as a recurring question—Who is the best girl/ waifu? 

Someone has to be the most popular, right?

I created this list thanks to MAL’s Most Favorited Characters, so this should be somewhat close to reality!
