23 Cute Anime Girls From Your Favorite Shows 2023

Anime can trace its roots back to the early 1900s. It slowly grew in popularity until it experienced a boom in the 80s. Anime is now one of the most popular forms of animation. Critically acclaimed anime shows usually feature a flawed hero against an unbeatable villain or monster. On the other hand, romantic and comedy anime often takes a simple premise and turns it on its head. 

Anime is known for its unique style of animation and attention to detail. It was also one of the first mediums to feature female characters prominently. They often save the hero’s life on more than one occasion. In fact, sometimes they’re the main protagonist of the story.

The characters might be cute, but don’t make the mistake of underestimating them. They’re fearless, kind, funny, and tough. Here’s a look at 23 cute anime girls not to be messed with.
