In conjunction with Older Sister Day (6 Dec), AnimeAnime conducted a survey “Who is Your Favourite Older Sister Character?” Read on to find out who reigns supreme.
Number one is Ram from “Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World”, with an approval rating of 5%. Ram works as a maid at the Roswaal’s mansion. Ability-wise, she is poor at everything when compared to her younger sister Rem. Readers wrote that “her lack of reliability is unbearable,” but there are also many fans who love her concealed kindness towards Rem: “Ram is the older sister who is usually dependent on her younger sibling, but in fact she is really concern about Rem.”
Number two – losing by just one vote – is Tae Shimura from “Gin Tama”. She is popular with brothers, having comments from “Shimura Shinpachi’s older sister is cute and dependable” to “She’s violent towards Kondo, but is always kind to her brother Shinpachi” to “She’s an interesting character who can be both funny and serious. Shinpachi’s way of calling her ‘Big Sis’ feels like he is conveying to her that he trusts her.”
Sogo Okita’s older sister Mitsuba also made the list at number four.
Number three is Mocha Hoto from “Is the Order a Rabbit?”, with 4% approval rating. The older sister of protagonist Kokoa received many comments like “She is beautiful, gentle and dependable” and “She has the amazing aura of a dependable older sister”.
