10. Kikyo (Inuyasha) - I generally hate a lot of Inuyasha characters with a passion (the only ones I don't dislike, besides Kikyo, are Sesshomaru, Bankotsu, and Kagura), but Kikyo is one massive exception. Seriously, talk about tragedy. Lost her love, lost her life, revived to a a shell of her former self, lost her love to some skank, and the list goes on. She goes through a myriad of changes as the series progressed and honestly became a better person with each consecutive change. Kikyo is probably my favorite peaceful type female in all of anime.
9. Ryoko Asakura (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - Don't ask why, I just like her a ton. Great character design and some wicked... abilities. <.< She may have been "misguided" in a way, but I can still forgive her

8. Toph (Avatar) - Gotta' love her blunt personality, fighting style, and overall character. She certainly brought quite a bit of life to Aang's party and certainly made the series that much more enjoyable. Her interactions with the likes of Sokka, Aang, and Iroh were great to see. It's also great to see that she doesn't go all sobby about being blind all the time, while on the other hand isn't portrayed as some flawless wonder girl. She has her strengths and flaws, all of 'em which I <3
7. Teletha Testarossa (Full Metal Panic) - Cute as hell and just plain likable. I generally enjoyed nearly all her scenes and found her interaction with Sousuke to be, surprisingly, more entertaining than Chidori and Sousuke. Anyhow, my favorite character from the show.
6. Ty Lee (Avatar) - Mainly 'cuz of her excellent chemistry with Sokka, though her ditzy personality and mad skills certainly make her stand out. Moar screentime plz k thx.
5. Temari (Naruto) - Fan girl is one powerful ninja. Her tomboyish nature, along with her strong, independent personality and fearsome fighting style definitely makes her my favorite female character in Naruto.
4. Karen Stadtfeld (Code Geass) - In addition to looking SMOKING hot, she's one awesome character overall. She's Zero's ace pilot, is highly determined, very loyal, very brave, and very competent all around. Her, Lelouch, and C.C. make one friggin' brilliant combination.
3. Kiyone (Tenchi Muyo) - Super cop extraordinaire and one of two females of the entire Tenchi franchise that I can tolerate (the other being Nagi). Kiyone has been a long time favorite of mine, and the many years that have passed haven't changed my opinion on her. Definitely an anime legend in her own right.
2. C.C. (Code Geass) - I'm having a hard time deciding whether I prefer C.C. over Karen and vice versa. >_> C.C.'s mysterious allure is too strong to resist. Her many interactions with Lelouch are great to watch, as both seem to just "click" with one another. She's possibly the only female who he acknowledges as an equal, I think. o.o
1. Ukyo Kuonji (Ranma 1/2) - Along with Ryoga, Ukyo is one of the reasons I enjoyed the Ranma 1/2 series for as long as I did. Being the most 'normal' of the fiancees, Ukyo's down-to-earth personality was a relaxing and much needed presence compared to the extremely unlikable Akane, the ridiculously over-the-top Shampoo, and the overall meh-ness of Kodachi. Plus, she and Ryoga make one awesome team (honestly, why the two never just ditched the much inferior Akane and Ranma for one another is beyond me).
