Rei is an exceptionally popular waifu. She established the recognizable collection of waifu character traits.
You'll be surprised to know that this is according to a 2009 academic research paper - Moe: Exploring Virtual Potential in Post-Millennial Japan by Patrick W. Galbraith

I think Hideaki Anno succeeded in Mari's character design. He made a more mature waifu for an audience that grew up with Evangelion and now are adulting. Rei and Asuka are more of a teenage fantasy, Mari is more of a person you'll want and need IRL.
A waifu's personality serves the grander narrative of the world they're created for. They're part of the plot not the plot after all... in vanilla anime at least.
That's why even if Asuka would make a horrible person IRL, she's still popular and well-liked.
Backlit Fern. I think the genius of Fern's character design is the combination of white dress and the long purple hair with cropped bangs.
X under the hood report thank you for this @elonmusk, it's a step at the right direction.
The next thing that needs to improve is the flagging system. It misfires a lot. I see benign-looking images flagged as adult content and borderline explicit content not flagged.

When I make original waifus, one of the things I do is look at the real world and take inspiration from that.
If you look there are actually very interesting people out there, you don't even need to exaggerate your depiction of them cuz they already look like an anime waifu IRL.
How do you like these long aspect ratios? Cuz sometimes I think the framing and aspect ratio makes or breaks the image.
I think the long aspect ratio really accentuates Android 18's stretching poses.
Looks like Fern's character design goes well with this style I'm trying to develop. What do you think?
Fern's character design manages to be attractive with conservative clothing. Whoever created her is a genius!
How do you make a sexy waifu without being vulgar? I want to make visuals that appeal to beauty rather than lust.
