Trent from **Daria**. He acted like a pothead but he was still hot. And he was in a band. ---

When I was young, I was torn between **Astro Boy** and **Speed Racer**. Now I am torn between **Cutter** and **Skywise**. I’m assuming both print and film can supply worthy candidates. ---

I’m partial to Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo and Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. ---

I have always loved (not lusted after, mind you, LOVED, in a pure and chaste manner) Betty Boop. She’s adorable! And for some strange and rather distubing reason, I think Dexter’s mom is hot. I just think she’d be a real tiger in bed, after she takes off those mom-slacks and rubber gloves. But Betty Boop is always first in my heart. ---

She is incredibly hot.** She’s also criminally underage, pervert.😃 I confess I have a thing for her too. Even though she only has one eye, I must admit a distinct affection for Leela. I also like Lindsay Neagle with her smart haircut, crisp business suits, high IQ, and no non-sense business attitude. I can’t find a single image of her on any Simpsons site. :mad: ---

I was totally in love with Aladdin from the Disney movie. The princes from most of the earlier movies were lame priggish types, but Aladdin was cool. Now I prefer the anime guys. Vaguely feminine men are _soooo_ hot. I don’t watch any anime, so I can’t readily provide examples, but they all look about the same to me anyways. If we can include characters from the FF games (up to 7, they are basically just cartoons, not drawn in a realistic style) I fell in love with Cloud, even if he was a dork at times. ---

Another Faye Valentine luster here. But I had more “romantic” feelings for Shayla Shayla from _El-Hazard_ and Karen from _Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team_. I guess I have a thing for fiesty, tough anime chicks. ---

Completely amazed me, but I get all misty at the mere idea of _Mai the Psychic Girl_’s dad, [Kuju](http://home.earthlink.net/~bearsclover/kuju.gif). (It’s just an anime comic book, I don’t think it’s ever been made into a cartoon, but the closest I can gome. ---

Not “gome” but “come” or “get”. Obviously I couldn’t quite decide. Oh, never mind. ---

Ukyo Kuonji from Ranma 1/2. Ranma was a fool for hanging with that Akane troublemaker. Ukyo wanted him and could cook! Oh, and either Kyoko Otonashi or Kozue Nanao from Maison Ikkoku. Man. Now I’m disatisfied with my life. ---

I watched _Lilo and Stitch_ last night. I have never had such feelings of cartoon lust as I had for the older sister. I think her name was “Nani”. OMFG was she hot. ---
