Our favorite and most hardworking anime pollsters Charapedia are at it again, and this week they’ve asked their readers: who are your favorite robots?
Now, this comes with one major caveat: we’re not talking rideable robots like mobile suits, Valkyries or the like. Nope, we’re talking androids, cyborgs, replicants, ghosts in shells and other metal pals.
Who will go down as the raddest robot in anime and manga history? Let’s find out.
20. Miss Monochrome
Miss Monochrome
19. Chachamaru Karakuri
Negima! Magister Negi Magi
18. Chise
Saikano
17. R. Ichiro Tanaka
Kyūkyoku Chōjin R
16. Atom
Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy)
15. Guy Shishioh
The King of Braves GaoGaiGar
14. Multi
To Heart
13. Arale Norimaki
Dr. Slump
12. Kuro
Cyborg Kuro-chan
11. Haro
Mobile Suit Gundam
10. Ai Mikaze
Uta no Prince-sama
9. Nano Shinonome
Nichijou
8. Ritsu / Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery
Assassination Classroom
7. Motoko Kusanagi
Ghost in the Shell
6. Android 18
Dragon Ball
And the top five…
5. Isla
Plastic Memories
4. Franky
One Piece
3. Tama
Gintama
2. Genos
One Punch Man
1. Doraemon
Doraemon
No surprise in the number one spot for anyone who’s spent time around Japanese folk. Doraemon is a pop culture institution in Japan, and not putting him in the top spot would basically amount to sacrilege.
One Piece and Gintama are also long-time hits, making Franky and Tama no real shock either. The surprise here comes in at number two –both that such a new character made the list and especially that he was ranked so high. More proof that One Punch Man is truly a phenomenon.
Okay, OUSA folks: your turn. Who’s missing? Who should be ranked higher? Lower? Let the Robot Wars commence!
