Anime Babe (ah-knee' may  bay'b): [noun] A female from the anime universe who possesses great beauty, a marvelous attitude, and the ability to act upon her desires to acquire that which she wants most (whatever that may be).

The Rules for Picking the Top Ten Anime Babes of All Time:

Rule Number One:  She must be made out of pencil and paint. No flesh and blood girls here.

Rule Number Two:  She must be attractive and not merely "cute" (meaning the judges decide what is "hot beauty" and what is simply "kawaii") (so according to the judges all "Noriko Takayas" are out). While this may be open to interpretation by you, the viewers, the judges' decisions are final.

Rule Number Three:  The contestants' taste in men has no relevance on them being considered an "Anime Babe". Since all anime girls are doomed to love total geeks or other social outcasts, the subject of boyfriends has no bearing on the judges' final decisions (especially because most of the judges are social misfits too).

Rule Number Four:  There must be more to an "Anime Babe" than just looks. She must have "attitude" and the "ability to achieve and maintain" all that her attitude alludes to (don't ask). Not one or the other (so no Rei Ayanami's).

The roles of the Judges

  There were over 100 judges who voted for the Top Ten Anime Babes of All Time. Each of them got only five votes. They each had to choose a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place "Babe" out of the infinite number of Anime Babes in the known universe. The first pick received five points, second got four, third got three points, fourth got two, and the fifth pick of each judge received one point. The judges also had to give adequate reason why they made the choices that they did.
  The votes were then tallied up and a runoff quickie vote was held because there was a tie for the tenth "Babe" slot (they received the same number of votes and both their reasons for being babes were really good). A winner was quickly decided and the contest was over. A little over two hours of the lives of the judges were wasted, but like they had anything better to do.

Now, let us meet some of our Celebrity Judges

  Well, since there were over 100, we'll just give the names of the most popular judges in our panel.
Julie Checks, Edward Asner, Werner Klemperer, Mark Hamill, John Bobbitt, the Rossman, Deborah Harry, Ted Danson, Larry Storch, Alan Hale and David Drummer.
The decisions of this fine panel are final (for now) and the winners will forever be known as the Top Ten Anime Babes of All Time....... atleast until someone better comes along.

  In response to our esteemed judges' request to clear up any misconceptions and build up some more anticipation and tension we shall offer an example of what they decided was the epitome of the "Anti-Babe". The absolute polar opposite of what the Number One Anime Babe of All Time should be.

That's right, Belldandy is the Anti-Babe! First of all, she's way too cute, and not "hot" in the least. She's a naive crybaby who sits at home and resigns herself to accept her problems instead of acting on them and finding a solution to them. She didn't even put up a fight when she was being forced to leave everything that she loved to go back to her job that she obviously hated (even when her two sisters did everything in their powers for her sake to keep her from going!). We hate to say this (considering he is one of the worst losers in the Anime Universe), but Keiichi was too good for her! Did we mention that she cries a lot?

  So there you have it. The antipodal thing to which all other prospective "Babes" were judged by to see just how much babe material they had in them.

Runners Up

  And now it's time to introduce the runners up (in no particular order). These babes came very close to making the top ten, but for one reason or another they fell just shy of placing in this very tough competion. Without further ado.....

Jung Freud   A Soviet mecha pilot in a future where the USSR is no more, Jung shows that she really doesn't give a rat's ass about little things like 'history' and 'democracy'. She's a positive thinker who makes her own rules in life.   Jung is a fiery red head (get used to hearing that) who 'aims for the top', only to fall a little bit short. That would be okay in and of itself (nobody's perfect), but the fact that she failed to show up that crybaby Takaya is what kept her from the actual Top Ten. Sorry Jung.

It's a little known fact but Jung is actually alive (somehow) at the end of Gunbuster thousands of years in the future! Cool, huh?

Point, shoot, flick off. Yup, she's got it down pat.

Naomi Armitage   Who says that an "anime babe" has to be mortal? Armitage is more human than human anyway. Plus, anything that looks that good in hotpants deserves points for something.   Her only downside is her tendency to rush into things headstrong without any thought of the consequences...... and the fact that she lives on Mars and our male judges thought that it was just too far away for a real relationship (they tend to blur 'reality' and 'fantasy' into one giant confusing category).

The Lovely Angels   Kei and Yuri got it goin' on! They have the badge, the bodies, and the go go boots to kick ass and take no prisoners (and they rarely ever do).   Not to mention the fact that they're friends with a Military Utility Genetic Higher Intelligence (aka Mughi) in the form of a giant hair ball. These babes can rock the house down past its foundation (and they often do), and oh yeah, one of them's even a red head^_^   Of course, I bet you can guess what kept them out of the Top Ten. Sorry girls, but our insurance just wouldn't cover you. Gomen.

Ah, the Dirty- Lovely Angels! Lovely Angels! Just kidding there^_^

Rarlgon Empress, redhead, and babe extraordinaire!

Empress Azalyn   This elfish-looking beauty has it all: looks, power beyond imagination and a warm compassion for even the stupidest of God's creatures. She would even willingly sacrifice herself to be with those that she loves (no matter how totally lethargic and dimwitted they may be).   The only thing that really kept her out of the Top Ten is that she is the enemy of all mankind. Bummer.

The Entire Female Cast of Bakuretsu Hunters   They are all total babes to the ultimate extreme! Very attractive, great outfits, and the drive to attain the unattainable (whether it be that sap, Carrot or something else entirely) rank them high up on the list, but their uninhibited personalities were simply way too over the top to get them a numbered ranking. (The judges want to be clear that they really loved their outfits. They loved them!)

I never thought I'd say this, but sometimes they need to put some clothes on.

Well, I guess ya gotta be careful when you call her or you might end up mentally scarring this beauty :(

Toilet Hanako   @_@!! Holy $#*%! All we can think of doing is pointing out her outfit! Oooooh, Toilet Hanako-san *_*...... Please appear!   Hanako is a ghost. She makes her home in boys restrooms. She appears when you call her name.... Holy f***in' crap, what a g**damn concept @_@!!!! She's gorgeous, flirty, pretty smart (she seems to hide her brains behind her "love bags" for some reason) and her voice is just sooooooooo 0_o!! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! Oh man, when a bunch of the judges and I were watching Haunted Junction we would all just totally melt whenever this hot thang would start talking. Her voice is just so damn sexy!!   The only problem with her is that she lives in the friggin' bathroom! That's just nasty! Sure it's good when you need some more toilet paper or something ("Hanako-san, could you spare a square?"), but if you try and visit her after some fat schlong went #2 you'd pass out after a few seconds despite her best sweet efforts.

Deedlit   This elf has it going on. She's attractive, leggy, she's got some cool spells and she's one with nature.   The problem? Too "goody-goody". She's always nice and does the "right thing" which makes her a little boring. Our judges needed a bit more "tramp". Sadly, Deedlit didn't cut it.

She just needs to get "nasty" every once in a while.

Not a "hugger".

Iria   Cool outfit, nice guns, and a freaky but rugged anime hair cut. She knows what she wants (Zeiram's head on a stick) and she does her best to acquire it. It's not her fault that she never really succeeds, it's just that the producers like sequels.   Her biggest problem, however, is totally her fault. Iria simply refuses to loosen up. She needs to let what's left of her hair down and relax a lil' bit. I bet if you stuck a lump of coal-

Urd   Whahomina-whooo ah! Urd is "sexy" incarnate! She's hot, and attractive, and hot, and beautiful, and very hot!   Just one itsy bitsy teeny weeny hornets' nest messes up this almost perfect dish.... She's home, but the attic light ain't on. She's a few cards short of a deck. The elevator doesn't go all the way up to the top. She's a few bricks short of a load.

She's a few fries short of a Happy Meal (tm)

Here kitty!

Shampoo   Unquestionably the best "Cat-Girl" in anime today, she knows how to flaunt the goods. She's an Amazon who knows how to cook, and she wears pajamas almost all the time.   The only problem that kept coming up in the voting was her total uninhibition. While in her quest for a husband (good thing) she would not suppress anything as she oft went *ahem* all out (bad thing).

Faye Valentine  Dear Lord above! Thank you for making this purple-headed hottie! Faye is a cool bounty hunter livin' out of time in the future, onboard the Bebop with the universes' coolest canine Ein. She knows how to gamble James Bond Style, how to fly cool spaceships and how to outshoot most losers and rivals she comes across. And she's in one of the jazziest shows of all time!   The one really bad mark against her is that she has the opportunity to be such a classy "Fujiko-esque" leading lady, but she usually goes for the more trampy look and attitude (not that there's anything wrong with that). She could be muuuuuch more deadly if she went "stylin'" more often (and even though she still looks great in those little yellow hotpants, she's just unstoppable in a vampy evening gown!).

Faye and a play in the hay, but not molded in clay, would make my day.

And there it is. Now you know how we judge which girls are Holy Smokin' Babes, and which are only burnt ashes, or something.

Now it's time to feast your eyes on the winners of the Ultimate Tribute to Anime - Babedom. The Top Ten Anime Babes of All Time!!!!!
