In Animerica Magazine (a US Anime Magazine), the June issue featured animes Top 100 Sexiest Anime Characters based on fan votes...
I think the most suprising was that Geese Howard was ranked #11 on the list, which beat out both the Bogard brothers on the men's side. I guess being an evil crime boss has its advantages. Terry was ranked #45 and Andy was ranked #65. At least Andy beat out Ken Masters (Ken got #66) and Jotaro Kujo (ranked #72), from Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventure, on the list. However, the lone hero from Street Fighter, Ryu, barely slipped past Andy getting ranked #61. Unfortunately, characters from Fatal Fury, Kim, Joe, and Billy didn't make the cut.
On the women's list for Sexiest Female, Mai Shirunai was ranked #25 overall. Unfortunately, she couldn't compete with femme fatales such as Morrigan Aensland of Darkstalkers who got #10 and Chun Li who ranked #13. Other female fighters that were featured was Felica the Catwoman from Darkstalkers (ranked #63) and Cammy White from Street Fighter (ranked #52).
You got to admit they did pretty good because they had to compete with other anime characters from the Gundam Series, Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, and other anime series.
Overall...
Top 5 Sexiest Males:
1. D (Vampire Hunter D/Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust)
2. Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z/GT)
3. Leader Desslok (Space Battleship Yamato)
4. Dark Schneider (Bastard!!)
5. Trunks(Dragon Ball Z/GT)
Top 5 Sexiest Females:
1. Cutey Honey (Cutey Honey)
2. Misato (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
3. Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
4. Asuka Langley Soryu(Neon Genesis Evangelion)
5. Naomi Armitage (Armitage III)
