Well, there are tons of really cute girls in little known manga, often hentai, such as this one, and un-adapted VN's. However, I since you three only listed well-known girls, so will I. Otherwise, maybe only the top 3 of these would make it to the list. Also, the list is far from absolute, it only contains the names I could come up with in an hour or so.

1. Touwa Erio (Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko)
2. Sasamori Koyuki (Iris Zero)
3. Kashiwazaki Sena (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) (Terrible personality, but her design is superb)
4. Kitaooji Satsuki (Ichigo 100%)
5. Toujou Aya (Ichigo 100%) (Personality-wise, I far prefer Aya over Satsuki, but I like Satsuki's design more)
6. Nymph (Sora no Otoshimono)
7. Yami (To Love-Ru) (A special case, I don't really know much about her, I just really like her design)
8. Victorique (Gosick)
9. Onadera Karen (Onegai Twins)
10. Hazuki (Tsukuyomi ~Full Moon~) (With her and Karen, I considered personality more than design)

This list is rather loli-heavy, for the simple reason that when I compiled this list, I emphasised "cuteness" at the cost of "hotness". Sena, Satsuki and Aya are there because in them, IMO, those two factors are combined in an exemplary way.

Edit: Hmm... Place Tenri to 7th and Haqua to 9th place. Both from TWGOK.

[myfistus]

Okay, so who are your favorite girls from visual novels or mangas (You can have both in your lists and characters from eroge are allowed):
1.Tohsaka Rin (Fate/Stay)
2.Saya (Saya no Uta)
3.Chihiro Shindo (Ef A Fairy Tale of The Two)
4."Cat Sidhe Nekoko" (Yume Miru Kusuri: A Drug That Makes You Dream)
5. Usami Haru (G Senjō no Maō: The Devil on G-string)
6.Cross†Channel (Kiri Sakura)
7.Kawahara Matsuri (Family Project)
8.Kirari Shino (Kira*Kira)
9."Sachin"Satsuki Yumizuka (Tsukihime, Plus Disc, Kagetsu Toya, Melty Blood)
10. Miakn (Wanko to Kuraso)

BTW don't feel intimidated just because all of mine were VN girls, please do use some manga girls in yours.

[Krozam]

Shouldn't this be in the "Top 10 lists..." topic, since it's generally for all lists, not just for the one Ix started with...?

Do girls from VN's I haven't read but have seen in anime adaptation count? Also, maybe VN's and manga should be separated? Otherwise some of us have a really large pool to choose from.

Edit: Oh, and just to clarify: by "favourite" you mean favourite in a general sense that encompasses both personality and appearance, right? Not just appearance?

...Your list has at least 3 non-lead characters on it. I considered making a list of "coolest male characters", but in the end I decided to limit mine to actual lead characters. I might do the other one later.

1. Alucard (Hellsing)
2. Nura Rikuo (Nurarihyon no Mago)
3. Yagami Kazuma (Kaze no Stigma)

Morino Ryoushi (Ookami-san to 7-nin no Nakama-tachi)
Echizen Ryoma (Prince of Tennis)
Alzeid (Hatenkou Yuugi)

...
Okay, I'd better stop now. I could mention at least another fifteen names, but this is enough.


Edit: Okay, here's a hastily compiled list of coolest male characters, including secondary characters. It's nearly impossible to narrow this one down to just 10, and I'm having trouble putting them into order, so I tried not to think too much when I made this.

2. Nura Rikuo (Nurarihyon no Mago)
3. Yagami Kazuma (Kaze no Stigma)
4. Kurei (Flame of Recca)

My top 10 dumb/boring/annoying male leads:

1. Kuzumi Hiroshi (Ookami Kakushi) (The epitome of blandness.)
2. Oyamada Kouta (Kanokon) (Boring as hell.)
3. Kujou Kazuya (Gosick) (His constant whining and one-word dialogue really get on my nerves, as much as I like some of his interaction with Victorique.)
4. Irie Naoki (Itazura na Kiss) (Represents my hate for cold male leads that are so popular in shoujo manga - granted, the idiotic female leads who fall for them are often even more annoying.)
5. Sakai Yuuji (Shakugan no Shana) (Boring.)
6. Akitsuki Yamato (Suzuka) (While the bitch is by far the more annoying character, the idiot who puts up with it is annoying as well.)
7. Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto) (Annoying as hell most of the time, though occasionally has some good moments.)
8. Orimura Ichika (IS: Infinite Stratos) (I liked him at first, but his ridiculous thick-headedness soon started to get really annoying.)
9. Maebara Keiichi (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) (Crazy. In a way I don't like. And a bit stupid.)
10. Sakurai Tomoki (Sora no Otoshimono) (Has his moments, but most of the time I find him annoying.)

11. Emiya Shirou (Fate/Stay Night) (Boring...) <Didn't quite make it to the top 10, but I felt he needed a special mention, since he's the last of the 4 male leads I like to use as examples of extreme blandness. Note that this opinion is based on that one anime adaptation alone, I have no experience of the other Fate works.

I won't bother making a list of my favourite male and female anime characters, because I already have one right here: http://forums.hologfx.com/index.php?topic=92.msg2413#msg2413 Though maybe slightly outdated. And not in any particular order.

[myfistus]

Top Ten Characters I demand to be given More of:

2. Hinagiku Katsura (Hayate no Gotoku)
3. Minorin Kushieda (Toradora!)
4. Mayuri Shiina (Steins;Gate)

7. Kallen Stadtfeld (Code Geass)
8. TK (Angel Beats)
9. Eri Sawachika (School Rumble)
10. "Chrissssstina!" Kurisu Makise (Steins;gate)

[Krozam]

Something other than characters for a change:

My top 10 succesful adaptations:
1. Ah! My Goddess (They re-arranged the arcs and changed the pace so that the result is a way better storyflow and character development than in the original manga. The anime actually feels like it's moving somewhere.)
2. Great Teacher Onizuka (live-action series) (Quite possibly the best live-action adaptation ever made, far superior to the anime.)
3. History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (I read the manga first, thought it a mediocre but enjoyable shounen manga - then I watched the anime and enjoyed it immensely. I don't know what they did, it's a pretty faithful adaptation, but somehow it's just a lot better.)
4. Detective Loki Ragnarok (The manga lacks a fluid storyflow, the anime fixed that, and despite not being a terribly faithful adaptation, I think it's better than the original work.)
5. The World God Only Knows (A marginally better-than-original, well dramatised adaptation of a great manga.)
6. Kaze no Stigma (Again, marginally superior to the original novels, much thanks to the great musics and Ono Daisuke's voice being a perfect fit for Kazuma.)
7. Kekkaishi (Once more, marginally better, thanks to minor storyflow improvements.)
8. Nurarihyon no Mago (Roughly equal, the storyflow is better, but it's inferior in terms of pure coolness.)
9. Hellsing Ultimate (Roughly equal, a faithful adaptation of the manga, with quality and atmosphere worthy of the story.)
10. Kaichou wa Maid-sama/To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (Can't decide which one is better adapted, they're both good and fairly faithful adaptations.)

With the exception of the GTO live-action, which I'm comparing to the anime adaptation, these are all anime that I've read in their original form, at least partially. The point is not to compare the adaptations to each other, but to their originals, so if the adaptation is more succesful, an overall inferior anime may be higher on the list than the superior anime.
