Judy is definitely one of, if not the most polarizing ACNH villager. I mean, just look at the rankings. Some placed her very high, while others tanked her to the bottom. These very low scores eventually caught up to her and that is why Judy is this low. Judy actually had the same overall average score as another villager, but since the public placed her lower, she got the lower placement. My opinions on Judy are actually quite mixed. I wouldn’t call myself a fan, but I don’t hate the entirety of her design. Judy has beautiful pastel color fur, but her eyes kind of ruin the would-be cute design. Her eyes are just so off-putting and do not fit her design at all. I used to actually have Judy in my town, but I could not get over her eyes, so I had to unfortunately kick her out. Overall, I have no obligations regarding this placement of Judy.
Ranker/Public Write-Ups
@Florence + The Machine - Kind of a "basic" choice, but I like Judy's ombré fur. I've found her a few times on mystery islands and now I can't let her leave my town. I used to think she was creepy, but I think that's part of her charm.
@Asarena - I don't hate Judy, but I just can't get past her eyes. I actually really love her fur, the mix of pastel colors is so cute. Her eyes though... I feel like it wouldn't been better if that was how her eyes looked when she was excited or something. I understand they're supposed to be like anime eyes, but it's not like most anime characters have eyes that look that way all the time. Even if their eyes are big and sparkly they aren't normally quite as extreme as Judy's. Instead of pupils she just has light reflecting off of her apparently extremely reflective eyes. I do love the exterior of her house; it's so blue! The interior is okay. It just looks like a kid's room.
@misstayleigh - hfjdhfdjkfd this is probably my most EvilTM write-up and ranking but god I cannot STAND Judy. I love the snooty personality but I simply do NOT get the appeal of her design. Her colouring is lovely, sure, and the cubs can be cute, but her EYES??? I do not UNDERSTAND??? There is nothing realistic about them?! And like, I get it. This is a game about a child basically running an island and paying money to a racoon and befriending sentient animals. “Realistic” isn’t at the top of Animal Crossing’s concerns. But her eyes just are so… lifeless…. and black…. like a great nebula in space, where no one can hear you scream. Sorry, Judy. You’re probably my least favorite villager in this whole game fdhjfhdkf
@WaileaNoRei - Judy-Sylvana on my ranking list are pretty much equal in my mind/heart. I thought it’d be fun to write up Judy though, especially since I am the one who bounced out Raymond and Marshal. A lot of time I feel a bit out of step with the current villager trend. I don’t hate them, except for maybe Diana, I just don’t have strong feelings for them. However, Judy actually interests me. She’s kind of insane, she looks like a Lisa Frank/ Care Bears / Sailor Moon mash up and it’s over the top and cutesy to the point of being potentially creepy and I like it a lot. I think among the actually most popular villagers she just stands out (along with Dom) as very expressive and vibrant. I love too that she is a snooty – like a tiny little toddler pretending to be a lady. A lot of the snooties are pretty heavy on the makeup which is not my favorite aesthetic (you’ve don’t count Pancetti, with your awesome white lips, you are a star). Judy looks like she spilled someone’s makeup case on her.
@Emmsey - I don’t get the fascination personally I find her to be really overrated. I’ve never been much of a pink fluffy kind of person and I guess Judy well and truly falls in that category. I find her eyes creepy not cute and let’s not get me started on my least favourite personality type snooty I think I’ve made my opinion clear I hate the whole I’m better than you thing!
@Pintuition - I HAD to save Judy. I love her multi-colored fur, she really doesn’t look like anyone else. I love pretty much all the cubs so I had to make sure she was in my top 4. I know many don’t like her eyes, but I think they look dreamy and cute. Snootys are one of my favorite personality types, I love how she’s small and cute but can be so savage sometimes. She’s got everything I’m looking for in a villager!
I personally think Pinky got such a glow-up in New Horizons. Her color is so much more vibrant than in New Leaf. Her eyes are just so adorable too! If I had full control, I would definitely place Pinky higher.
That furniture set is hideous, though I will admit that I like the color scheme of the ones Judy has in her house.
