Vietnamese fans are still deeply in love with these anime heroines.
During Vietnamese fans' childhoods, there were many popular and iconic anime series. However, only a few female protagonists have become 'familiar faces,' even becoming the childhood crushes of many dreamy-eyed viewers.
Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Undoubtedly, in the hearts of Vietnamese anime fans in their 90s, there must be the adorable and brave girl, Sakura. After accidentally releasing the magical Clow cards, Sakura is tasked with collecting them and becoming their new master. Her innocence, optimism, and calmness in every situation have won over the hearts of television viewers. She is also one of the few short-haired female protagonists that anime enthusiasts adore.
Ran Mouri (Case Closed)
Although there is still much debate within the fan community, it cannot be denied that Ran Mouri is one of the 'unforgettable first loves' of anime enthusiasts. In Case Closed, Ran is a kind-hearted, gentle girl, somewhat strong due to her martial arts skills but also very delicate, sweet, and 'girly.' Ran always takes good care of Conan and her alcoholic father, filling in for her absent mother. Above all, no matter how much time passes, in her heart, there is always the image of Shinichi.
Tohru (Fruits Basket)
If you love Sakura, you can't help but love Honda Tohru - the female protagonist in the popular anime Fruits Basket, once a hit on Vietnamese small screens. Tohru's presence is like warm sunshine shining into the gloomy, lonely house of the Sohma family, who bear a curse related to the Chinese zodiac. Tohru's goodness and purity have caused the members of the Sohma family to shed their cold exteriors, integrating more with society, and most importantly, winning the heart of the 'fiery cat' Kyo.
Usagi (Sailor Moon)
If the above characters became 'first loves' because of their innocence and goodness, then this anime beauty made a strong impression due to her iconic visual. The main heroine Usagi from Sailor Moon has long been a famous cultural icon worldwide. She is still a high school student who dreams big, a bit 'air-headed,' but when she fights, Usagi always dons the most eye-catching outfit, ready to wield her wand to defeat any villain.
Kagome (Inuyasha)
Kagome herself is the inspiration for girls to successfully pursue their crushes! In Inuyasha, Kagome's story unfolds from childhood to adulthood, with traces of the male lead Inuyasha everywhere. From a young age, she followed him despite knowing he wasn't human, almost dying when her body contained something Inuyasha desperately sought. Eventually, she made Inuyasha 'fall into the sea of love' and start a small family. If Kagome isn't the first love of Vietnamese anime fans, then who else could it be?
