It's morning. You're running late, and then BAM! You smack into her. Or she falls out of a time portal. Or the sky. Or through your bathroom mirror. Or your plumbing. However you meet them, most anime characters will likely end up living in your house, blowing through your savings, and stealing your food within 24 hours of first contact. It is Nature's Way.

In pursuit of SCIENCE, the ever-useful goo ranking conducted a survey asking Japan which hobo-esque characters they'd like to have freeload in their homes, and Glorious Nippon responded, with some surprising results.

Though properties like Rozen Maiden and Kannagi made a showing, the top ranks were populated almost exclusively by longer-running, more "classic" titles. Perhaps forced dependents were less annoying back then? One of my favorites was Ah My Goddess' Belldandy, because she'd probably make you look like the freeloader. The rest just look like tax write-offs in comparison. 

See the full list below, and then tell us who's missing, or who'd you'd like to have force his or her way into your life.
