No, see, I don't think you understand.

People are free to like whoever they want.

However, just because one likes a character does not under ANY circumstances make up for that character's flaws... and Alisa has plenty. Poor character design (Slutty McUnderboob), contrived backstory (parents were killed and now she's being manipulated as a tool), complete lack of character development, at least in the game ("Ooh, look, I'm not brainwashed anymore!"). Say what you will about her popularity and the supposed qualities her fans espouse, but a polished turd is still a turd.

Hell, I would go so far as to say that there is not a single character in the entire God Eater franchise who is genuinely well-written, with good development, complex characterization, and moreover a good character design. The entire franchise is plagued by awful, try-hard writing, and you can't make a character who's better than the universe they're a part of, since a character is only as good as the setting they're in. Sure, you can have a "cool" character, and popularity certainly isn't out of the question, but fan perception of a character has ZERO bearing on how good that character actually is.

In short:  You are wrong, and Alisa is a bad character who exists solely for fanservice.
