From memorable main characters to supporting characters who, in some cases, surpassed the leads in popularity, this year’s shows have not disappointed. Even characters who only appeared in a single episode managed to have a significant impact on anime fans.
To measure which characters stood out the most, the portal Anime!Anime! conducted a survey titled “Which anime character from Summer 2024 did you fall in love with at first sight?”
The Summer 2024 anime season introduced many female characters, each with their unique charm, from shy and reserved to energetic and lively. Some heroines captured attention with their emotional strength and role in the plot, while others did so due to their complexity or growth throughout the episodes.
These characters’ success is not only due to their roles in the series but also thanks to elements such as design, personality, and key moments they starred in. These factors influence how fans connect with them and how they stand out in a season full of strong competitors. Although the male leads are often the focal point of many stories, these female characters captured attention in certain episodes, leaving a significant impression on viewers.
Surveys like these not only show which characters are the audience’s favorites but can also predict the future success of certain series. The most beloved characters often drive merchandise sales and attract more social media interactions.
As the Summer 2024 anime season comes to an end, these results reveal audience preferences and highlight trends that may influence the development of future seasons or the creation of additional content for top characters.
