Topic	Anagram Ranks 145 Waifus: The Top 22
Anagram 07/04/21 5:19:31 PM #284:	8. Chiaki Nanami Series: Danganronpa Nominator: RaidenGarai (0/4 remaining) Personal Familiarity: Yes Attractiveness: 68 (53/145 tie) Personality: 75 (18/145 tie) Girlfriendness: 99 (1/145 tie) Overall Waifu Score: 80.6 Hair: Purple (0/14 remaining) Eyes: Pink (0/3 remaining) Race: Asian (2/58 remaining) Age: 15-19 (5/62 remaining) Medium: Video Game (7/85 remaining) Im an adorable gamer girl with enormous breasts who needs to be protected and will always love you~ Im not saying that Chiaki is the best waifu on this list, because Ive obviously put seven other ones ahead of her, but I am saying that she is the most blatant waifubait ever. I say this even knowing of series like the Quintessential Quintuplets, where the entire point is to argue about waifus. And you know what? Im okay with it. Chiaki might be the single most pandering waifu ever, but I will allow it because ~~in the context of the story, Chiaki is~~ ~~literally~~ ~~waifubait designed by a computer to be the perfect girl everyone will instantly befriend and love, which is a hilarious concept.~~ By the way, yes, the hint was about her hair. I could not for the life of me figure out what color her hair was. I asked multiple people, I found the hexcode for it and ran it through google, I did it all. I finally listed purple because I didnt want to give an entire unique hair color label for a single character, even though Ive done similar things for other characters. Danganronpa girls really benefit from their series art style. Danganronpa isnt quite normal, generic anime art, and it does have a distinct look to it, but it also uses a lot of generic anime cuteness. Maybe Im explaining this poorly, but basically Im trying to say that even the boring girls in the series still have fun designs, and Chiaki is no exception. I really like how she gets across the idea of a nerd girl without going full bore like, say, a chef who always wears a chef outfit. Ill allow one Galaga hairpin, sure. I really like the permanent bed hair, the pale I-never-go-outside skin, and her inability to stay awake for very long. Im sure that in real life, a girl with these qualities, who just falls asleep on her feet and starts drooling without thinking about it and blowing giant snot bubbles, would be a big problem to deal with, but Chiaki is lucky to live in the world of anime. I was torn a bit on Personality. Again, Chiakis shtick is that shes the Ultimate Gamer, the best video game player in the universe, and that could get old if they did it in like a Futaba from Persona 5 sort of way, where shes constantly referencing real memes or something, but instead, Chiaki actively mocks the idea of being only a video game player, and gets annoyed at someone assuming she has no interests beyond that, which is fine. Thats not exactly a benefit, its more like a lack of drawback. The ideal waifu wont just be a complete stereotype, which may not be the best thing for me to say given some of the ones I put above her, but so be it. Point is, Chiakis always calm, observant, and understanding, which are all positive traits. She sort of takes a backseat approach to just supporting everyone else around her, and like, thats fine. Not everyone has to love the spotlight. So, when 90% of her sprites are just her staring blankly, or when she ends every other sentence with maybe?, it comes off as super cute. When she actually does take a stand for the things she believes in, she suddenly becomes determined and awake sort of. My point is that Chiaki ~~is scientifically designed to be the perfect waifu so that youll feel bad when she dies in such an absurd, horrible way.~~ And Girlfriendness, well. I decided that being the Ultimate Gamer is equivalent to being the worlds best esports player, which does count as a job, and in the context of a bunch of dorky internet guys, girl who is better at video games than you is A+ material. Whats her worst quality, that she likes taking lots of naps? Man, I take naps all the time, I cant possibly blame her for that. I guess Chiaki would probably fill an apartment full of old gaming crap, and I know better than most the horror of trying to untangle five-hundred power cords for consoles you dont really play anymore and have no idea which belong to which I eventually resolved that issue by taping notes to all of the power cords so I could easily tell them apart without having to jiggle the consoles to see which ones moved. Point is, mutual interests are good, and I can deal with messiness. And hey, looking up the Wiki, it says that her birthday is March 14. My birthday is March 12, so man, Im never going to accidentally forget and look like a jerk 101 pounds, though, huh. That seems unhealthily thin. I really enjoy Chiakis mild development over the course of the game, as well. Shes not the most complex character ever or anything, or even the most complex character in her own game, but seeing her connect with everyone and become the lynchpin of the group, only to finally have to tell everyone that shes a traitor, but not be able to explain herself, and have to sacrifice herself to save the others is such a strong moment. This goes beyond a waifu ranking, but that murder case is basically the entire game as far as people are concerned, because its by far the most interesting and emotional thing in Danganronpa 2. Even the people who dont like the game admit that that trial is the best part. So, to sum this all up, Id say that Chiaki occupies a really interesting space as our final remaining quirky waifu. I mean, sure, all of the girls left are at least a little quirky, but Chiakis on another level. Its important to remember that while all of top 20 or so are extremely high-quality waifus (except Miu, who really snuck in on a technicality), Chiakis by far the most blatantly pandering one, and thats okay. Its okay to pander sometimes. Its not always a bad thing. I mean, who wouldnt want a girlfriend who's adorable, shares all of your interests, and is always a good person? It's just that I'm trying to imagine a non-video game example of something like this, like a movie with a girl who loves movies, or a book with a girl who loves books, and it doesn't quite come across the same way as a video game with a girl who loves video games, and I'm not absolutely certain why. It could just be the anime elements, I suppose. Anyway, Chiaki, A+ waifu. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
