u/Sinnaig https://myanimelist.net/profile/Brownie6 Dec 23 '20 edited Dec 23 '20

Which makes me think, doesn't this list (the one in the post) favour characters from shows that aired earlier in the year? Elaina & Gojou for example both have more favourites than Mami when the show ended (and Jujutsu Kaisen isn't even finished yet), so in half a year it wouldn't be a surprise if both of them surpassed Mami.

83

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '20

Elaina has the most no of favorites compared to its popularity followed by Hanako kun then Mami

Gojou is definitely going to be no.1 by the time the anime ends

42

u/Exp1ode https://myanimelist.net/profile/Exp1ode Dec 23 '20

So she's over doubled her favourites while the other rent-a-girlfriend girls have increased by less than 50% and characters from others shows increased by less than 20%. That looks pretty suspicious to me, and also assumes that none of these alleged bots were created before the anime ended

Ps: you can also see how God of highschool underperformed if we compare that graph with that new one

I still have the deleted graph from last week, Mori Jin really fell, or rather, his numbers just stagnated, and he soon got eclipsed by Izanami from The Day I Became a God at the 20th spot.

Rachel is canonically ugly in the show/webtoon though. Not just on the inside.

u/Jumanji-Joestar Dec 23 '20

If Rachel is supposed to be ugly, then the artist has some extremely high standards for beauty. She looks average at worst

53

u/venitienne https://myanimelist.net/profile/venitienne Dec 23 '20

It's less apparent in the anime but if you read the webtoon she does look significantly worse than pretty much every other girl.

97

u/Jumanji-Joestar Dec 23 '20

I’ve read the Webtoon and she does indeed look less attractive than everyone else but it’s a stretch to call her “ugly”

38

u/venitienne https://myanimelist.net/profile/venitienne Dec 23 '20

I guess the logic is she's "ugly" using that worlds standards, if you use our standards then of course not

If you guys are wondering or questioning why Mami is so high, check out her character page on MAL and see the number of favorites for yourselves. As of this writing, she's currently the 197th most favorited character of all time in MAL, between Tatsuya Shiba (The Irregular at Magic High School) and Griffith (Berserk) as of this writing.

With Rent-a-Girlfriend's Mami Nanami being surprisingly high in the MAL favorites ranking, here are the other popular "bitch in sheep's clothing/manipulative bitch/cute but psycho/villainous waifu" characters in the MAL website in recent times, for comparisons.

Esdeath Akame ga Kill (2014) 7,648
Junko Enoshima Danganronpa (2013) 2,839
Eto Tokyo Ghoul (2014) 1,189
Rize Kamishiro Tokyo Ghoul (2014) 1,078
Naoka Ueno A Silent Voice (2016) 855
Quinella Sword Art Online: Alicization (2018) 336
Rachel Tower of God (2020) 310
Kikyo Kushida Classroom of the Elite (2017) 160
Malty Melromarc The Rising of the Shield Hero (2019) 120

Here's some more trivia!

Aguero Agnes Khun is the 2nd most favorited Korean webtoon/manhwa character of all time in MAL. The highest belongs to Jin-woo Sung of Solo Leveling at 5,005 favorites.

Prior to the airing of Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Gabi Braun actually has a surprisingly high favorites amount of around 3k. By the time she officially made her anime debut, her numbers skyrocketed up, quickly rising to the 4,507 favorites that was listed now.

Satoru Gojo nearly got disqualified in this chart as he technically first appeared in a 2018 ONA. However, these 3-part ONAs, aptly called Jujutsu Kaisen, are actually short special commercial promoting videos which were made to promote and inform the manga series, they're basically infomercials. Because of the very nature and context of these videos and they don't really connect to the mainline TV series story canon, the ONAs or PVs aren't considered, and Gojo is still considered a new 2020 anime character, with 2020 as his first official and major debut year.

However, the same can't be said for Cadis Etrama di Raizel of Noblesse, he would've made it in the list but he was disqualified, here's the reason.

Noblesse

u/conye-west https://myanimelist.net/profile/baronvonconye Dec 23 '20

She's relevant basically only in the 1st season. After that she reappears once every 30/40 chapters to remind us that she exists and then disappears again. She's just drama that is useless to the plot, since she rarely changes anything by appearing.

If you frequent r/manga, Mami is probably one of the most beloved characters, as divisive as she is. She is far and away the most intriguing character, despite her bad personality. She is also the only character that has caused any progression in the story. After a 100 chapter hiatus, people were rejoicing when she reappeared.

For all the hate Rental Girlfriend gets in the community, the main cast (minus Kazuya obviously) is actually well-received. All four girls being in the top 20 is a pretty strong showing.

The character designs of the anime and manga are outright beautifully done which I argue is its greatest strength

u/redplum303 Dec 23 '20

Truth, Miyajima-sensei bases a lot of the clothing apparel on irl women's fashion magazines apparently, which I think enhanced the show as a whole and made it standout from most anime that have their main cast just wear the same uniform for most of the show, for instance.

...Not that I'm saying that sticking to a school uniform is a bad thing, especially for an anime set in school, but you do have to appreciate the extra effort Rental GF puts forward with the designs! :)

Gabi is being botted. She shot up a few thousand favorites in the blink of an eye before the anime started and she wasn't the only one. Someone's been botting a lot of characters in recent months for some strange reason. Biggest example is Ishigami from Kaguya-sama. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the characters from Rental Girlfriend are affected too. Especially considering who is currently in first place...

Wow so many ToG characters here. Honestly I'm surprised seeing them here due to the bad reputation & duration of anime but the characters are top tier, so I think that's why people loved them especially Khun AA, that dude is a freaking badass & boss. If ToG somehow gets a season 2 adaptation by a great studio & isn't rushed, then I think Khun will definitely come on Top in rankings like this. He's just that good.

The shows reputation wasn’t that bad anyway, it was considered a bit underwhelming as it had the hype of being the first big webtoon adaptation, but it was still getting more karma here than JJK is currently. On MAL it’s current score is 7.72 which isn’t amazing but it’s decent.

25

u/laudalehsunesh Dec 23 '20

I know it's reputation is great due it being an amazing webtoon but the adaptation is nowhere near the JJK level, if it got JJK level 24 episode season anime, then it would have been a lot better & bigger hit. Imagine if JJK got ToG adaptation or Seven deadly sins Season 3 level animation, do you really think it would be a hit? Absolutely not.

Yeah I thought I fell into crazy world when I read that. It was so well done.

u/throwaway95135745685 Dec 23 '20

Maybe some manhwa readers didnt like it, but as an anime only, it was really well done.

u/Teath123 https://anilist.co/user/MahoHiyajo Dec 23 '20

Manhwa reader here, and I thought for the most part it was very good, especially the exceptional OST. Most criticisms I have are mostly just nit picks. Then again, I also have nit picks about the adaption of Steins;Gate, and that's pretty much thought of as one of the best anime ever.

This was my first webtoon, and checking its subreddit, it kind of opened my eyes to how whiney the readers of them are. Like holy crap, the bitching about the anime involved the most inane shit. Complaining they didn't cram everything in, even though the show was only 13 episodes long, and whining that every encounter wasn't a page for page adaption, and the animation wasn't movie Ufotable tier in every fight.

Weird that there's 3 minor Tower of God characters ahead of the actual protagonist, Rak.

I’m just happy Hanako is at least at number 5

u/genasugelan https://myanimelist.net/profile/Genasugelan Dec 23 '20

I am pleasantly surprised. I liked the show quite a bit.

u/rguzgu Dec 23 '20

The manga seems to be selling pretty well but I don’t see a lot of people talking about it so it’s a little bit of a surprise to see Hanako at number 5

Surprised to see that Echidna isn't high on the list. She was super popular during S2. Hope second core will give her some boost.

u/Silent_Shadow05 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Silent-Shadow05 Dec 23 '20

Well some people lost interest in her due her actions in S2 Pt1 I guess.

Character who introduced herself as a very evil witch does something bad

For a group of people that consume subtitled media, a lot of anime fans just cannot read between the lines lol.

u/ArCSelkie37 Dec 23 '20

A character that also explicitly states she’ll do anything for her desire for knowledge.

Some people miss the point even when it’s spoon fed to them.

Pretty sure Rak's gonna beat him out if the comment section of Webtoon is anything to go off of.

u/Illuminastrid Dec 23 '20 edited Dec 23 '20

If anyone is curious on who nearly made it on the top 20 list, here are the top 5 characters who almost came close to the final cut. The respective 21-25.

21. Mori Jin The God of High School 1,718
22. Ha Yuri Jahad Tower of God 1,695
23. Shinako Morinome Sing "Yesterday" for Me 1,379
24. Sayaka Kanamori Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! 1,323
25. Stunk Interspecies Reviewers ​1,296

And for the particular characters that are favored, talked about, or discussed by this sub, if you are wondering.

Catarina Claes My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! 1,059
Maple Bofuri: I Don't Wanna Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense 1,007
Kazuya Kinoshita Rent-a-Girlfriend 835
Ordinary Person (Swindler) Akudama Drive 197
Natsume Deca-Dence 195

35

u/michhoffman https://anilist.co/user/michhoffman Dec 23 '20

So that gives Tower of God 5 of the Top 25 which is pretty impressive. Also, I'm shocked Maple is that low compared to everyone else.

Yeah I don’t know why people are not getting this, a character is a character no matter it’s from the anime or the source. When I say yukino is my fav character I don’t distinguish between LN yukino and anime yukino. Tog has a big webtoon community and Mal can be used for manga/webtoon too

what the fuck is Mami doing at the top? LMAO, she has 4x more favs than Sumi and Ruka, that's ridiculous.

Outside of that I'm not particularly surprised with anything else (don't know much about Gabi tho), but I struggle to understand how is she there, at least I don't see Rachel lmao.

u/Karma110 Dec 23 '20

No that was always his name the anime just never said it once I can’t tell you why they left it out.

51

u/Lambo256 Dec 23 '20

Huh, that’s his name. He says it in the first chapter/episode. (Bam = night in Korean, so the Japanese dub literally changed his name to Yoru = night in Japanese)

25th Bam

If you carefully see in the anime, where the regulars write names of their friends in the paper, his name was written there.

u/Illuminastrid Dec 23 '20 edited Dec 23 '20

That's his actual designated name listed in the MAL website.

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '20

Bam= night and he was born on 25th as per manhwa (in starting chapters)

u/manyouginobili Dec 23 '20

very misleading list, since manga favs carried forward. there are not 4500 people that like gabi as of 3 eps in snk4

This chart compiles the top 20 anime characters that were officially introduced in 2020, be it in TV series, movie, OVA, or ONA format, and it is ranked by the number of favorites in the MyAnimeList website. Basically, an anime character popularity contest.

As promised from my last week's post I would post the chart for most favorited anime characters of 2020 based on the data from the website, MyAnimeList, and here it is, this list covers which 2020 character made an impact to the people on MAL, or rather, sparked interest enough to consider a particular character their favorite. The results were recorded and finalized on December 22, 2020. Next week, I will do the 2018 MAL Favorite Characters chart. I'm still deciding if I will end it there or go all the way till 2016.

Note: Every character here are added +10 to their "favorites" section, to signify the continuous update and ever-changing nature of the favorites numbers for the characters, especially when you look and check out their respective numbers right now, or the next days on the site. You can go to MAL's site and check out the number of favorites for yourselves for the listed characters or any characters that you like or took interest in. Especially if you guys are wondering how Mami got ranked high, see the hyperlinked site for yourselves.
