30 Cutest Anime Girls of All Time

Anime can easily be the most addictive form of comic art. Having showered its readers with spellbinding characters and storylines, the art form continues to churn out new ones from its cavern of infinite imagination. Often offering bizarre and captivating characters, anime often reforms a comic book reader’s perception of stories and characters, introducing them to new horizons of retinal excitement. With big studios sweeping the rights for major anime and giving them the much-deserved big-screen rendition, one can only hope they serve justice to the art form. Among the millions of eye-soothing and adorable female characters, here is the list of cutest and most beautiful anime girls.

30. Kaguya Shinomiya

Kaguya is a genius young girl who is immensely talented and possesses a never-die-attitude when she is determined to achieve something. Since she comes from the wealthy Shinomiya family, she has lived a sheltered life which has hindered her personality to a degree and sometimes she is unable to realize things that are obvious to her peers. Interestingly, she is the president of the student council of Shuchiin Academy and invests a lot of time in extracurricular activities apart from being a brilliant student. Apart from being academically gifted, Kaguya is without a doubt one of the cutest characters in ‘Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.’

29. Megumin

Megumin is an ambitious and determined teenager who showcases incredible resilience in her pursuit of learning the incredibly powerful Explosion magic. The archwizard is a realist who is unafraid of taking a stance and pursuing her goals despite the risks in her path. Interestingly, she refuses to learn any other skills and relies only on Explosion magic, even though incapacitates her and makes her vulnerable for an entire day if she decides to use it. Although careless, the descendant of crimson demons is nevertheless adorable and is loved by the fans of ‘KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!’

28. Shinobu Kochou

Shinobu Kochou’s appearance in Mount Natagumo Arc offered fans of ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’ a chance to witness her passion to fight against demons for the first time while also revealing how dedicated she is to the deep sense of drive to eradicate them. The Insect Hashira uses unconventional techniques in combat and relies on an element of surprise to target her adversaries. She is quite agile and moves fairly switfly in combat often times surprising the demons. As far as her appearance is concerned, Shinobu Kochou has a slender body and wavy black hair.

27. Nami

Nami is a slender young woman with orange hair and brown eyes who is quite popular in the anime world. As the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, she has embarked on countless dangerous missions with her crew and has a huge bounty on her head because of that. Interestingly, her initial reasons to join Luffy’s crew were not in the group’s best interest but she later changed her stance after the Straw Hats defeated Arlong. She is considered an attractive woman not just by the characters in ‘One Piece’ but also by show’s countless fans around the world.

26. Hinata Hyuuga

Now Hinata Hyuuga is probably one of the most beloved female anime characters. Her love story with the titular protagonist of ‘Naruto’ is adorable and has overtime become an iconic part of the show. Although she lacks self-belief and confidence when she is first introduced, Hinata’s determination is quite inspiring as she fights her own doubts to showcase incredible resilience in times of crisis. Her shy attitude during her interactions with Naruto is quite adorable to watch as she struggles to hide her true feelings for him.

25. Shikimori Miyako

Now Shikimori of ‘Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie’ is unlike most girls on the list as she frequently outshines her significant other- something that is quite rare in anime. Her strong personality is enough to make fans fall head over heels in love for her but interestingly there is more to her character than that. Shikimori may look a bit intimidating when she is furious but whenever she calms down, it’s hard not to notice how beautiful she is. Her pink hair and blue eyes somehow complement her so perfectly that most viewers barely notice the other girls on the show. Her devotion to her boyfriend’s well-being makes Shikimori even more desirable.

24. Marin Kitagawa

Marin Kitagawa’s bubbly nature makes her an entertaining character to watch. Her passion for cosplay really shines through her eyes and it’s not a surprise that she is one of the most popular girls in her high school. While a teenager of her age and comparable social status may easily become arrogant, Marin is a surprisingly down-to-earth and respectful individual, who always makes sure she doesn’t hurt anyone. As if this was not enough, she is also gifted with ravishing looks. Marin is blonde and has red eyes that truly draw viewers toward her. Her nature coupled with her looks makes Kitagawa a natural addition to the cutest anime girls list.

23. Mie Ai

Some may argue that Mie is definitely not as beautiful as other girls on the list as she lacks any unique facial features that would make her memorable. While this may have some truth to it, Ai’s cuteness truly shines through whenever she is in her most vulnerable state. When she forgets her glasses and relies on her classmate and love interest, Komura for assistance, it’s hard to ignore how adorable she looks. Her childlike dependence may have seemed annoying but Kaede does a great job of never making the viewers feel awkward or embarrassed for Ai. Mie’s unique personality alone makes her one of the cutest girls on the list.

22. Shizuka Mikazuki

Shizuka Mikazuki is an investment banker who grew up in a harsh household where her life choices were constantly criticized. Her upbringing naturally left deep psychological scars and she grew up to become a very analytical and unemotional person. When the zombie apocalypse breaks out, she plans every step for her survival quite methodically, in stark contrast to Akira who appears to take things lightly. While in most episodes of ‘Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead,’ she comes off as an annoying character, her personality truly shines through in moments where she overcomes her rigid ideas of life and listens to her heart. In those scenes, viewers finally get to see the adorable side of Shizuka which is rarely talked about by the anime fandom.

21. Isaki Magari

Magari is just another ordinary student who is not even that popular at her school. In fact, she prefers to stay by herself most of the time and even finds a secret spot so that she can bunk classes and get some much-needed sleep. But what makes her special is her zest for life when she is enjoying the most ordinary things in life. It is often hard not to get influenced by her positivity and sometimes smile at her antics. While Isaki might not necessarily be the most beautiful girl going by society’s standards, her cuteness in her moments of childlike curiosity is intense enough to put her on this list.

20. Akane Kinoshita

Akane of ‘My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999’ has green eyes, blonde hair, and a slim face which means she ticks all the boxes to qualify as a cute girl in most places on the planet. While her exterior beauty is obviously rare, what makes Kinoshita special is the fact that she is an even better human being. Viewers see the extent of her kindness when Runa is frequently mean to her but Akane never gives her any hate. In fact, it is Kinoshita who initiates the friendship and ensures that they put all their differences aside. Her magnanimous nature alone makes Akane a beautiful human being and her looks just add to her overall personality, which speaks volumes about her character.

19. Ai Hoshino

‘Oshi No Ko’ has a strong cast of female characters all of whom are cute enough to be seriously considered for a place on this list. However, Ai Hoshino, the sensational lead idol and actress is comfortably the most ravishing. She is not only a talented performer but a ruthless perfectionist who tries desperately hard to make sure that she never makes a mistake. Despite carrying the burden of supporting an entire industry, Hoshino remains graceful and her bubbly attitude makes her a perfect pick for the list.

18. Carol Olston

‘Tomo-chan Is a Girl!’ features a cast of interesting characters which also includes Carol Olston, the air-headed girl from Britain who often makes senseless comments and is quite unpredictable. It is Carol’s loving nature and adorable behavior that make her one of the cutest anime girls. While most characters on the show are complex and struggle to express what’s on their mind, Carol’s affection is free-flowing and comes from a place of honesty, which makes all her interactions interesting to watch. While Carol is just a side character, she is without a doubt one of the cutest anime girls of all time.

17. Hanazono a.k.a Lily

Despite working as a spy and putting her life on the line quite frequently, ‘Lily’ from ‘Spy Classroom’ or ‘Spy Kyoushitsu’ still manages to keep a very positive attitude towards life. Her bubbly nature and careless actions make her a great character to watch as it strangely acts as her strength and hilariously allows her to fool others. Lily has grey hair and it compliments her ash-pink eyes. While there are other cute female characters in ‘Spy Classroom,’ Hanazono easily surpasses all of them by virtue of her eccentric personality which makes her an exciting character to watch.

16. Anna Yamada

When ‘The Dangers in My Heart’ anime released, no one really had much expectations from the romantic series. However, by the time the show concluded it became one of the most loved shows of its genre. While Anna Yamada is not the sole reason for it, she does deserve a lot of credit. Her infectious personality makes Yamada the center of attention wherever she goes. Not only is she beautiful but also has a tender heart. So it’s no surprise that Anna gets a lot of attention from the opposite sex. But looking at her cute face, it’s hard to blame the men who wish to date her.

15. Mio Akiyama

Introduced in the much-talked-about high school anime ‘K-on!!’ in 2009, Mio slid into the viewer’s hearts with ease and secured a special place in no time.
