Cutest Anime Mascots – Top 10
10. Pen Pen
- Anime : Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Grade BAD: 8.36
- Year: 1995-1996
- Studio: Gainax, Tatsunoko Production
- Episodes: 26
Pen Pen, the adorable penguin from Neon Genesis Evangelion , is a true surprise in the series' dark universe. While Evangelion is known for its heavy themes and deep characters, Pen Pen provides welcome comic relief. With his lazy demeanor and "family member" attitude, he easily wins over everyone who sees him, especially as a welcoming presence in the tense atmosphere of NERV.
Pen Pen also has his own brand of cuteness, being an eccentric pet who somehow brings a touch of normalcy to the characters' daily lives. He may not be the protagonist, but his calm, almost human nature, complete with hot baths and luxurious treatments, makes him a charming figure who never fails to make us laugh.
09. Kyubey
- Anime : Puella Magi Madoka Magica
- Grade BAD: 8.38
- Year: 2011
- Studio: Shaft
- Episodes: 12
Kyubey may seem, at first glance, like a simple, cute mascot with his big eyes and cat ears. However, his true nature is much darker. He is a mysterious being who grants magical powers to girls, but in doing so, ends up manipulating them in a cruel game. Kyubey's harmless appearance contrasts with his true intention of exploiting girls, creating a contrast that only increases his complexity as a character.
Although he's a symbol of a series full of twists and turns, Kyubey stands out precisely for his duality. His simple design, with his white body and small wings, is what makes him so memorable. The initial impression that he's just a cute mascot quickly disappears when we discover his true goals, and that's precisely what makes him one of the anime's most intriguing and disturbing characters.

Despite being a serious and responsible figure, Luna also has hilarious moments, especially when it comes to trying to control Usagi and her antics.

On the other hand, Elizabeth, the robotic bird who serves as Gintoki's pet in Gintama , is the definition of eccentric cuteness. In fact, with her harmless appearance and down-to-earth demeanor, she ends up becoming a hilarious and essential figure in the protagonists' daily lives. Her interactions with Gintoki and the other characters bring moments of pure fun and often become the series' comic relief.
But what truly makes Elizabeth one of the most lovable mascots is her way of getting involved in Gintama .
