This one did not take much for me to answer. The below ladies I feel are underrated especially since their existence is so important. Without these ladies the anime would not have occurred the way it did and their outcomes would be vastly different.
Kofuku
She was a much needed friend to Yato for decades. She also provides the important ‘home’ base for the mismatched group and often as the informant for Hityori on most things related to Yato and the world of the Gods.
Anime: Noragami
Shizuka Marikawa
Without her the kids would have died at school end of story. Or even if they had managed to get away from the school their mismatched group would have split and susiquently died at some point. She is the only one who knows how to drive, it is through her the group gets weapons and a seriously fortified vehicle to drive through the Zombies. Her ditsy brain also somehow managed to keep the group together.
Anime: High School of the Dead
There is a whole long list of female characters that I would like to mention but for me those two were my two leading ladies for the best supporting female anime characters. Well that ends my eighteenth post to the challenge to which I am hopelessly behind in. If you would like to know more about the challenge click here.
Otherwise I am very interested to know, who is the best supporting female character, in your own opinion? Please let me know in the comments below!
Great post! As for being behind on things, my list of Anime I still have to watch is so big, probably when I reach the age of 80 I might have finished it lol 😀 Had to think about your question for a bit, but for me I would have to say it is Yui from Sword Art Online, who eventually plays a very important part in the lives of Kirito and Asuna 😀 Not only that she is also a very sweet and kind character.
I also liked Yui, she helped them in so many ways!
Does Shizuka Marikawa play a bigger role in the manga? She seems to have a relationship with that sniper, but in the anime she was eclipsed by the show’s younger ladies.
