The Top 7 Best Female Nerds in Anime

It’s often said that nerds rule the world. That saying is definitely true in the world of anime, which is chock-full of characters that anyone could relate to in some way.

The thing about the term “nerd” is that it can have so many different meanings and interpretations. The Dictionary defines the word as “a person considered to be socially awkward, boring, unstylish, etc.” and “an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit.”

The thing is, people don’t have to be socially awkward or be obsessed with a nonsocial hobby to considered a nerd. Take, for example, geniuses like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Elon Musk. These real-life geniuses prove that nerds don’t have to be socially awkward.

There are also people who believe just because a person reads comic books, watches superhero movies, watches science fiction movies or even watches anime, they are a nerd. By that logic, 90% of the world could probably be considered a nerd. If you fall under those categories, embrace your inner nerd, sit back and enjoy this list of the top female nerds in anime. They’re smart, they’re beautiful and they’re sometimes a bit crazy, but that’s why you love them.
