[Stripey] 10 anime bishoujos I don’t want to meet in RL (U15 edition)

Sorry Feito chan, for both our sakes, it's best we don't ever meet...

"Ahhh, I'm SOOO glad I didn't meet her in real life!" has been one of those dominating mental outbursts of late while watching anime. It began with my reliving the great Starlight breaker scene in Nanoha movie lst, culminating to the hair-raising Beast-mode battle in Evangelion 2.22. (Those outbursts were for Fate and Rei respectively in case you're wondering). Maybe 2D bishoujos in full HD glory lets  one in on TOO much geometric details. (Curves, figures etc). Especially hazardous for honourable tanukis are those under 15 beauties which anime is SO great at crafting.

Anyhow, it's with thanksgiving that I present 10 anime bishoujos I haven't met and pray will NEVER meet in real life.

Ultimate idol-girlfriends ~ Stripey’s 2D picks

Have you ever wondered how it’d be like to be in Araragi’s shoes - dating the school idol? Apparently the tanuki ego allows such indulgent fantasies. While I did draw several conclusions from the rigorous mental exercise, I thought it’d be more appropriate to share my list of idol-girlfriends instead, in keeping the Hontouni spirit of bishoujo love.

Here’s 15 idol-bishoujos whom I deem to be the ultimate girlfriends in the 2D realm. They have one main defining trait – Hawtness - and a singular response from male/female alike (towards the boyfriend) – murder envy.

In no particular order of love -

Asakura Otome (DCIISS)
One of the 3 seitokaicho (student council president) on this list. Otome compelled me to abandon imouto love (read: Yume) to rally behind onee-ranks. A tremendous feat considering tanuki leanings.

Feena Fam Earthlight (Brighter than dawning blue)
Yoakena obviously had more love for her lunar beauties than the earthly counterparts with Feena at the apex of this bishoujo hierarchy. Feena is the ONLY bishoujo who'd make me go berserk on merchandise I don't really need.

2D covenantal couples – A tanuki’s tribute

A simple but powerful storytelling tool often employed in the 2D realm is the element of contract/covenant. The contract/covenant usually forms the basis of how an unlikely couple with immiscible personalities would meet, stay together and grow together in unexpected (well hopefully under the pen of an anointed writer) ways to delight the viewers. Possibly due to the fantastical leanings of 2D works, we see that a lot in anime. Here I'm not just talking about a verbal pact or a promise but an actual mystical/magic force binding the 2 entities; one that either parties is unable to escape from. (Interestingly,  its near equivalent in the 3D world is marriage and unfortunately or fortunately for some, it's not as permanent as it ought to be.)

This post is first and foremost inspired by Oz and Alice (Pandora Hearts) whose interactions contributed much to my love of the series. So here's a tribute to the other 2D covenantal couples who have also enriched my 2D experience.
