Yes, I did have trouble with the girls section... Maybe I should have made a girls I would like as a girlfriend top 5, and a awesome girls top 5

which igpx?

hmm not to sure, been favoriting to many characters to say that they are a top or not.

for sure, hisoka from HXH
accelerator from magical index
mifune from soul eater
and feeling iffy with these two
kenshin himura
nanoha from magical girl nanoha

i'd also like to give an mvp award to rin from usagi drop

lol i was having trouble between choosing nanoha or kunieda. but not for the same reasons why your list is long.

I would still Have 8 girls if I didn't count those I want as girlfriends, also trying to resist adding more girls like Mikoto Misaka (A certain Scientific Railgun)... also now I want to add Tooma Kamijoo (A certain magical index), he would probably be tied with naruto for fifth while Mikoto would be tied for fourth with yoko and "Main Character" (Humanity has Declined). also edward elric (FMA:Brotherhood) would probably be tied with kamina and simon.
