9/18/11 - 5 anime characters you want to cuddle

[mjf314]

This week, vote for 5 anime characters you want to cuddle. Please include the anime title in parentheses after the character name.

Definition of cuddle: hold close in one's arms as a way of showing love or affection.

I was inspired to make this poll after reading babyeinstein's Lain review... "Lain is not a girl I would want to take up in my arms and cuddle."

I don't like animals as much as the rest of you, but I do enjoy cuddling with robots and immortals. And of course Lain is the most cuddleable girl ever, so she's #1 on my list. Honorable mention goes to Misago from YKK, but I didn't want to include two characters from the same anime. If I had to choose an animal, I'd probably choose Nyanko-sensei.

Rika Furude (Higurashi)
Megumi Noda (Nodame Cantabile)
Sawachika Eri (School Rumble)

Could have replaced most of these with Misaka Mikoto, but let's just leave it at that.
