READ THIS PLEASE I just want to clear up some doubts you might have: From minute 1:26 to 4:52 i had to put the TH-cam music cause the previous one gave me copyright.. 15 seconds of copyright muted 3+ minutes of audio. SAD! - Why some results are different from the previous video? Well, as I have specified in each description, my searches are based on an algorithm that is not perfect and therefore cannot give me 100% certain results. I can assure you though that compared to the 2020 video this is far more accurate, in fact I made a lot of improvements on the algorithm - I made a big mistake, i don't know why but the data of Kurisu Makise didn't show up and i didn't see that Unfortunately the part when Zero Two, Raphtalia and Nezuko appear, I couldn't put the songs on theme because they gave me copyright problems. So I decided to put 2 JoJo songs because they are fantastic and always give me the idea of boss music - How long did it take me to make this video? 4 days to collect and adjust data 1 day to find the gifs to put to each character 1 day for the Awards part of each year 1 day for to find and put the music so more or less a week (considering I worked on the video about 10 hours a day) I will never stop thanking you for all the support you have given me I hope you enjoy the video, this makes me want to work harder and harder ❤🔥 I hope you enjoy the video!
@@vbucci6894 Well that's pretty common now in anime community. Some characters are gonna be overhyped and some really good ones gonna stay underrated. No wonder why zero two and levi get too much attention as well.
The fact that zero two wasn’t completely unchallenged since her release was crazy to me franxx blew up almost immediately and she was literally everywhere
I mean until Nezuko became the popular pick, Even the RRISING star Raphtalia couldn't hold to Zero Two despite taking the #1 the year she arrived. WTF is that 3m+ search on 02 was just absurd. Also 2009 Haruhi Supremacy was so real.
@@gildedphoenix Yeah that’s true whenever she did drop it wasn’t for long zero two is one of the most iconic anime chars now it’s kinda crazy cause if I remember correctly the manga/LN wasn’t that popular
I like how you can basically see that after a point around 2016 the top spots started changing back and forth dramatically, implying that anime exploded after that perdiod thus you can see a lot more diversity governing the chart.
@@themonarchserupt4051 that time when SAO first released I thought it was the best anime with a really good art lol. silly decision and small thinking at that time are really pathetic. Now we're stuck with this anime culture, bet every potential country are gonna make their own anime even it is bad, as the trend keep rising I guess.
It was around 2016 that I noticed it taking a mainstream explosion. It started in 2013 with the release of attack on Titan and then just steadily kept up with each release around that time. SAO probably was also a big step sadly, it got a lot of my friends into anime that otherwise had no interest, so imagine that as a kind of primer having dropped in 2012.
@@Mugetsu._.115 not necessarily, for example take Gabi from aot; ppl mad hated her n made memes on memes. Many non aot viewers googled her name to see what's going on n hence increased her search count.. same with Sakura
I find it so interesting how long Sakura stayed on top of the list. Not only this, but this timeline has also really opened up how much anime has become more and more popular as time goes on. Really cool video to be honest.
It's funny how Sakura is one of Naruto's most hated characters and is still one of the most popular waifus of all time, staying in Top 1 for many years
Who’s Cardi B? You know what? Maybe it’s better if I don’t know. Don’t need to lose more brain cells in a world with the Paul Brothers, Kim Kardashian, and Donald Trump
thats because most of the simping for Sakura was secondhand simping through Naruto. As soon as Naruto stopped simping for her, almost everyone else did too. People didnt hate Sakura for most of the duration the anime aired. People hate her because she didnt have as much growth in power, character and achievements, whereas everyone else surpassed their ideals
The cool thing about this is that is sort of works as an animated timeline of anime history. You can see where different anime came out or finished, even pick out different eras in anime publication based on who's on the list. If you know what your looking for you can even spot certain arcs. It's pretty neat
You can also see what animes were on top bc they were the seasonal novelty and which ones stayed on the top 20 way after their initial boom bc of the impact the show left like Attack on Titan, Violet Evergarden or SAO and, the most impressive ones for me, Dragon Ball and Naruto
I was just thinking how I'd love to see this against a timeline. Like. When Hinata briefly shot up, was that due to THAT filler arc? Some stuff yo ucan kinda guess just from the timeline. Like Yoruichi BEING on the list is a sign that THAT episode had already happened, but it'd still be cool to see for those who can't be bothered to watch ALL the things. Particularly curious about the girls who show up, rocket out of nowhere to the very top, and then vanish the next month.
@@vvey4523 ppl can say what they want, i know for sure most sakura haters on the internet just say they hate her for the memes. Ppl who say she's useless don't know what useless is.
Bulma and sakura remaining consistent top 10 for nearly 17 years is hugely impressive. I'm also surprised not to see akeno from high school dxd or any of the girls from redo of healer appear in this.
Personally, I prefer Rias over Akeno. But she is still number two for me. Rias has both looks and the personality of a prefect girlfriend real or not. Even though she is from a harem anime, her personality still seems real to me.
2004: Bulma. 2005- 2012: A battle between two waifus 2013-2014: Mikasa joined the chat 2014-2016: Asuna reached the top of Aincrad 2016: Rem still simping for Subaru 2018-2019: Waifus becoming unstable 2019: A demon, another demon but with a bamboo, and a racoon. 2020: Just some Echidna passing by 2021: Nagatoro got fake hope lol Edit: I'm sad that neither Felix or Speedwagon was there
How Mai Sakurajima and Violet Evergarden still made it to this chart and even beating Asuna is beyond me and I love it. Their anime finished airing like 3 years ago
I refuse to believe that Mio Akiyama didn't appear at all around 2009-2012 or whenever K-ON! came out, it was such an insanely popular thing. She even won some big late 2020/19 (iirc) waifu contests and came super far in others
The way Sakura dominates most of the 2000s-10s tells you that 1) having a large enough seasonal audience is a fairly recent thing in the Western anime fandom, unlike in Japan; 2) popularity based on search frequency like this is unavoidably tilted towards show that has a huge, far-reaching casual audience (shounen in this case) who might not have deep engagement with the more committed core fandom; 3) as opposed to long-running series, seasonal anime has a very limited window for gaining popularity and it's usually condemned to oblivion a few month after it's finished airing.
these are google search results from any man and his dog eg 99% of the results are people who know nothing about anime, so they search what the see on tv, news, advertisements and what the kids are watching on TV eg = not most the good stuff as its to spicy/violent for kids. so u end up with someone like Sakura, who purely because she is the only main female character for most of the anime next to the main character Naruto himself = top searched, meanwhile she was extremely disliked by the anime fans for her unlikable personality, which doesnt really get any better even after it changes when she grows up, just goes from bad to another bad and well she didnt look all that hot either... hence when u see folks who spend thousands on figurines, "sakura" is like the weres wally of figurines, she only shows up if folks collect every character, regardless if they like them or not, simply to complete the set... meanwhile virtually every figurine you see virtually every hardcore collector/weeb putting on showcase = absent in these search results.
@@feeriqueee I only know that it was really popular in Japan, together with Lucky Star it was pretty much the groundwork for upcoming Moe / Cute Girls Doing Cute things stuff, so I'm just really surprised since Mio is still dominating huge reddit polls sometimes haha
@@eyestr1 don't worry friend, I'm not what you think but the truth is that nezuko stood out with season 2, obviously in every anime there are racy scenes that can't be avoided and well as the pillar of the parties says: a very showy entry haha
@@brokensenseofhumour1615 no she is not she is the strongest kunoichi without even belonging to any special clan she have 100 hellings that even shizune couldn't get she was praised by 1st hokage . during 4th great ninja war she saved Naruto and she also saved a lot of people before including kunkuro . She is pretty and strong . She is not like trash person like you who wrote stupid replies. Don't reply like it's a trend If you know how to reply trendly I also know how to reply to direct slap to sakura's hatters
Shout out to Bleach. They might not have cracked number one, but the series consistently had 4-5 characters in the top ten and 2-3 in the top five for nearly a decade. Tite Kubo may not have had the mass mainstream appeal, but his characters consistently were knocking it out of the park.
Haruhi and Sakura battling really reminds you that there was a time every weeb was legally restricted to have to know the entire Hahuri ED dance by heart... Good times
It's funny as hell to see shiro suddenly spike up just to go straight back down back to oblivion.... then resurface a year latter to repeat the whole thing. Also seeing haruhi's slow decent to the trench was really something.
I love how, even though Dragon Ball had already ended long before most of these shows started airing, Bulma was still a top tier waifu. It wasn't until 2020 when she finally fell off from the top 18 and that was only because Super ended. Absolutely phenomenal.
My two takes: 1.It's weird I didn't see Mikuru Asahina being top ten considering that Haruhi was popular as hell. 2. I never noticed how people were simping for Bulma
Love to see Nagatoro just explode onto the scene for a few seconds. A solid 12 episode season with an even better 2nd season on the horizon...Manga readers know what I'm talking about.
I still remember the time when people were crazy for Rem. This just show how rapidly anime community evolved in these recent years,.... "To have a 14 year old, who absolutely did nothing as the top waifu!!!" (No hate for Nezuko, she is a really good and likable character, but as a waifu and compared to the other waifu's on the list, she ain't on the right spot)
this was extremely entertaining. the popularity wars of sakura and haruhi was a thing of legend - and the fact that the former still remained on the board at the end says something.
I’m happy Rias managed to hit the top, even if only for two months, and she stayed on the board ever since her first appearance. Then Raphtalia managing to set the record, at least until she got absolutely CRUSHED by 002…
Well me any my friend always search sakura fanarts we never seach useless about her also most of my school mates loves sakura maybe 5% boys hate her but girls love her so much
It's interesting how it's way harder to recognize the past weeb landscape through google searches before than it is now. Back then, while shonen held an important place, a lot of animes and waifus that were extremely popular never broke the mainstream. Thinking about C.C., who had a huge following, but never got top 1, for example. None of the K-on girls showed up too.
@@vonivon_ Honestly, I don't think there was wider general public for anime outside Japan. The general public landscape was very hostile to watching anime after elementary school, there was a "they'll grow out of it" attitude to it, even in countries that had historically a very strong affinity for anime like France. Anime stopped at pokemon and the big 3 for most people. I think it explains the chart better than just art style. What nerds and the general public knew just wasn't as close as it is now. It's become increasingly harder to know good yet niche shows.
At least for the early years, this is more of an "anime popularity chart" than anything to do with waifus. I think it'd look different, if we had data from image archives instead of google searches.
Very impressed how Zero Two still one of the greatest waifu of all time even if it's been almost 4 year the anime came out and there is not a single news about a season 2 However my Mai Sakurajima will stay my fav waifu of all time even if there is a lot of good ones
I actually never understood the craze with mai. After seeing a lot of romances, I felt like I have already seen her character, it didn't stand out as original. It's the similar feeling you have with shows like jjk as well, it doesn't stand out as something new when you have watched a decent amount of shounen
@@Apostle_47 you need to be really touch by the anime to understand why Mai ( and all the characters of this show btw ) are amazing And if u watched the movie it's a big moment of sadness and happiness
Yoruichi and Tsunade hung in there. I thought Yoko would make a bigger splash. Surprised to not see Chizuru Mizuhara not even pop up (unless it happened very quickly). Most characters up for best girl should at least peek in like Kaguya and also Yumeko just hopping in for a hot second.
@@kourouglioussama2063 probably, because these are search results. I do not know what exact words did this youtuber use, but there are so many Sakura's that it's inflated. People might be googling out of curiosity,not because they're waifu, or they actually hate the character,etc
@@cybercery5271 That is so true, and infact many people just search out of curiosity. People who searched Sakura may not necessarily be looking for Sakura Haruno/Uchiha as there are many Sakuras (even outside anime) so that may explain why she was so popular.
@@jannguerrero no doubt but we can't pull google search results as a metric from before google was really a thing. That we will have to call the pre-search-historic period.
@@jannguerrero Oh no I know, I'm just more of a Rei Auska and Mari Sakurano from Brave Raideen kinda guy. Leiji Matsumoto may have invented anime girls but it was Tomino who made them cute.
Im surprised Rin doesn't appeared. IA lot of people prefer Rin more than Saber. Now Saber is very underrated, but i think she is one of ther best female characters in anime for the last decade.
Kurisu doesn't even show up once HOW. She's made a top spot in one of your previous waifu rankings, shes the most favorited female character on MAL and is from one of the most popular anime of all time. Humanity truly has fallen huh 😔
You know as soon as demon slayer s2 ends zero two is taking that number 1 back lol. Impressive how she's still that popular even though the anime ended almost 4 years ago
What anime is Zero Two from and why is she so popular? I never understood why and was wondering if the anime she's from is worth the watch Edit: Never mind, I just remembered that she's from Darling in the Franxx, but is the anime worth the watch and why is she so popular?
love how clear you can see when exactly Nami's look got changed to the green bikini top and when naruto shippuuden started how many people started looking up the more mature Ino. But OP was right to point out Mikasa, zero two and Rem came in like wrecking balls at their respective reveals
Jesus. Rukia and Yoruichi rounded out that top five for quite a bit. Crazy how for a span of like three years there were at least three Bleach characters always on the board. Funny seeing Rias as well. Didn't realize 'those' searches were going to be included.
Jesus christ. The speed kanna, raphtalia, nezuko and nagatoro went to non existent to the top was insane. They jumped up to the top respectively at some point each lol.
Wow trip down memory lane. It feels nostalgic seeing what was popular before being old and almost unmentioned now. There’s also a lot of cool trends here to note. 1: Certain characters you didn’t realize were that popular were actually searched for a lot like Bulma. 2: Anime is getting much more popular with search numbers increasing more every year and an massive explosion in 2020-2021. 3: Some search explosions were probably due to memes. Darling in the Franxx was released in 2018, 3 years ago and approaching 4, yet it was not as searched for as it is now.
Increíble que bulma estuvo tantos años, peleando el top 5, y que en 2020 a inicios todavía siguieran entre las 10 más grandes, después de en 2005 ser la más buscada y con el mayor record también, y pues bueno, los años no siempre favorecen a todos, y llegan las nuevas generaciones también...

I just want to clear up some doubts you might have:
From minute 1:26 to 4:52 i had to put the TH-cam music cause the previous one gave me copyright.. 15 seconds of copyright muted 3+ minutes of audio. SAD!

Well, as I have specified in each description, my searches are based on an algorithm that is not perfect and therefore cannot give me 100% certain results.
I can assure you though that compared to the 2020 video this is far more accurate, in fact I made a lot of improvements on the algorithm

Unfortunately the part when Zero Two, Raphtalia and Nezuko appear, I couldn't put the songs on theme because they gave me copyright problems.
So I decided to put 2 JoJo songs because they are fantastic and always give me the idea of boss music

4 days to collect and adjust data
1 day to find the gifs to put to each character
1 day for the Awards part of each year
1 day for to find and put the music

2) popularity based on search frequency like this is unavoidably tilted towards show that has a huge, far-reaching casual audience (shounen in this case) who might not have deep engagement with the more committed core fandom;
3) as opposed to long-running series, seasonal anime has a very limited window for gaining popularity and it's usually condemned to oblivion a few month after it's finished airing.
these are google search results from any man and his dog eg 99% of the results are people who know nothing about anime, so they search what the see on tv, news, advertisements and what the kids are watching on TV eg = not most the good stuff as its to spicy/violent for kids.
so u end up with someone like Sakura, who purely because she is the only main female character for most of the anime next to the main character Naruto himself = top searched, meanwhile she was extremely disliked by the anime fans for her unlikable personality, which doesnt really get any better even after it changes when she grows up, just goes from bad to another bad and well she didnt look all that hot either... hence when u see folks who spend thousands on figurines, "sakura" is like the weres wally of figurines, she only shows up if folks collect every character, regardless if they like them or not, simply to complete the set... meanwhile virtually every figurine you see virtually every hardcore collector/weeb putting on showcase = absent in these search results.
Idk, I was kind of a weeb back then, but I couldn't force myself to watch this stuff.
@@feeriqueee I only know that it was really popular in Japan, together with Lucky Star it was pretty much the groundwork for upcoming Moe / Cute Girls Doing Cute things stuff, so I'm just really surprised since Mio is still dominating huge reddit polls sometimes haha

Literally the 2018 to now.....Zero two Dominated All of Them ❤️ 🔥 She sure in the top of the upcoming anime's
Shout out to Bleach. They might not have cracked number one, but the series consistently had 4-5 characters in the top ten and 2-3 in the top five for nearly a decade. Tite Kubo may not have had the mass mainstream appeal, but his characters consistently were knocking it out of the park.
My favorite anime, just after of Death GOD note
I’m pretty surprised how many times Yoruichi got the #3 spot, because unlike Haruhi and Sakura she’s not even a main female character!
@@jinhunterslay1638 yea but she is the baddest bitch in a show full of impecable character design.
Didn't have mass mainstream appeal??? Bleach is part of the big three of shonen jump

Haruhi and Sakura battling really reminds you that there was a time every weeb was legally restricted to have to know the entire Hahuri ED dance by heart... Good times
I've heard of the character but ain't ever seen anything about it except that time PewDiePie did apparently it's dance.

It's funny as hell to see shiro suddenly spike up just to go straight back down back to oblivion.... then resurface a year latter to repeat the whole thing.
Also seeing haruhi's slow decent to the trench was really something.

Nezuko: Blood Demon Art........KING CRIMSON!!!!
Eh. She'll be back.
It warmed my heart to see Rei and Asuka hanging in there, plus seeing Raphtalia, Mai Sakurajima, Chika, Hayasaka, all pop in was awesome
I love how, even though Dragon Ball had already ended long before most of these shows started airing, Bulma was still a top tier waifu. It wasn't until 2020 when she finally fell off from the top 18 and that was only because Super ended. Absolutely phenomenal.
Dragon ball was on tv throughout the 2000’s
And Kai was a revitalization before Battle Of Gods

Rem appears at 9:06

Remixed aot music👌👌👌
The anime community gives me the chills, im so disappointed bruh
My two takes:
1.It's weird I didn't see Mikuru Asahina being top ten considering that Haruhi was popular as hell.
2. I never noticed how people were simping for Bulma
Only betas simp for Bulma. They want a bitchy woman to dominate them. It's also ironic given they're the opposite kind of man that Bulma goes for.
Bulma a baddie tho
Perhaps why you can't notice people simping for Bulma is because they were on a certain website in incognito mode
Bulma simps have existed quietly in the background for decades - Dragon Ball is old as hell.
TFS bulma
Love to see Nagatoro just explode onto the scene for a few seconds. A solid 12 episode season with an even better 2nd season on the horizon...Manga readers know what I'm talking about.

nagatoro and now komi. a new type of fanservice
Lynx nagatoro will be on the list again when season 2 comes out fall 2022 it would be interesting
Its nice to see Saber, C.C and Asuna have their popularity pikes too
I still remember the time when people were crazy for Rem. This just show how rapidly anime community evolved in these recent years,....
"To have a 14 year old, who absolutely did nothing as the top waifu!!!"
(No hate for Nezuko, she is a really good and likable character, but as a waifu and compared to the other waifu's on the list, she ain't on the right spot)
I think kurisu is ten times better
did nothing is a stretch
'did' nothing? Have you watched Rezero? Rem is one of the best waifus, no BS.

this was extremely entertaining. the popularity wars of sakura and haruhi was a thing of legend - and the fact that the former still remained on the board at the end says something.

I must admit it. Sakura haruno pretty tough, she is on the chart from 2004-2021
It's interesting how it's way harder to recognize the past weeb landscape through google searches before than it is now. Back then, while shonen held an important place, a lot of animes and waifus that were extremely popular never broke the mainstream. Thinking about C.C., who had a huge following, but never got top 1, for example. None of the K-on girls showed up too.
I think C.C. wasn't as charming to the general public. At the same time, CG's drawing style isn't liked by everyone.
@@vonivon_ Honestly, I don't think there was wider general public for anime outside Japan. The general public landscape was very hostile to watching anime after elementary school, there was a "they'll grow out of it" attitude to it, even in countries that had historically a very strong affinity for anime like France. Anime stopped at pokemon and the big 3 for most people. I think it explains the chart better than just art style. What nerds and the general public knew just wasn't as close as it is now. It's become increasingly harder to know good yet niche shows.
C.C and the K-on girls were a huge Japan thing, not so much elsewhere though. Although I do love C.C myself though.
At least for the early years, this is more of an "anime popularity chart" than anything to do with waifus. I think it'd look different, if we had data from image archives instead of google searches.
So glad that Saber managed to reach number 1 spot in 2017 for a while.

I actually never understood the craze with mai. After seeing a lot of romances, I felt like I have already seen her character, it didn't stand out as original. It's the similar feeling you have with shows like jjk as well, it doesn't stand out as something new when you have watched a decent amount of shounen

Wow trip down memory lane. It feels nostalgic seeing what was popular before being old and almost unmentioned now.
There’s also a lot of cool trends here to note.
1: Certain characters you didn’t realize were that popular were actually searched for a lot like Bulma.
2: Anime is getting much more popular with search numbers increasing more every year and an massive explosion in 2020-2021.
3: Some search explosions were probably due to memes. Darling in the Franxx was released in 2018, 3 years ago and approaching 4, yet it was not as searched for as it is now.
As much as I hate tiktoks culture and over saturation, it basically shotgunned anime into the mainstream over night.
Increíble que bulma estuvo tantos años, peleando el top 5, y que en 2020 a inicios todavía siguieran entre las 10 más grandes, después de en 2005 ser la más buscada y con el mayor record también, y pues bueno, los años no siempre favorecen a todos, y llegan las nuevas generaciones también...
