If you want my sincere opinion, I think those two
◊ pictures
◊, proposed by Deboss and myself respectively in the other thread, are better than both Haruhi pics for the Genki Girl trope.

"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeThe Haruhi image seems to fit Maniac Pixie Dream Girl better. I don't know what to replace the Genki Girl picture with, though.

Let's just clarify what went on here.
First off, the one currently on Manic Pixie Dream Girl used to be EXCLUSIVELY on Genki Girl. I'll call that image "Haruhi image 1."
At the time, there was another image of Haruhi in the Genki Girl image links section. I'll call that image "Haruhi image 2." Oh, and it looked like this:
Since "Haruhi image 1" literally involved a girl dragging a guy along by the tie, I figured it would make a good Manic Pixie Dream Girl image. So I removed "Haruhi image 1" from the Genki Girl page to put it on Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and then used "Haruhi image 2" for the Genki Girl page, seeing as how it was of the same character and it was an image of said girl herself, looking clearly energetic for that matter.
Apparently, someone decided since then to put "Haruhi image 1" back on Genki Girl, for whatever reason. I'm not inclined to look through the page histories right now, but I'd suggest that for now we put a NOTE on Genki Girl NOT to use the one currently on Manic Pixie Dream Girl, because it's pretty clear which page that image is better suited to.

There was already a percentage note, but GG Crono still changed it with the comment "This image actually chosen by Image Pickin'." Probably he misremembered an older thread.
He probably did. I remember this discussion and the image change because Manic Pixie Dream Girl was JAFAAC and Genki Girl was easily replaced.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickMeh, I didn't come up with any new caption for MPDG when transferring "Haruhi image 1" to it, so I guess that'd make it my own doing that the captions are similar. I'd have used "she's literally dragging him along" but that would make its caption the same as that of Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl.
Anyway, should I PM GG Crono about the image change?

The current Genki Girl image is still terrible. Heck, we had a topic months ago to get rid of that one. The end result was the image someone moved to MPDG

I think it's really funny that that girl is on several pages. I would avoid her on principle.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I still stubbornly stick with Pinkie
because those ponies are so damn cute.
True, although Pinkie's the only one bouncing around the screen. Probably only makes sense to me.
I don't know about Manic Pixie Dream Girl, but I've never thought the current Genki Girl image was very good. It looks more like a victory pose or something than an expression of hyperactivity. I think Tomo would make for a much better picture if we could find a good one.
The haruhi pic on Manic Pixie Dream Girl seems so much better on Genki Girl that or we can find something with Tomo from Azumanga Daioh [1]

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!^ That second Tomo pic is pretty good, and better than the Haruhi with closed fist one IMO.
While I'm at it, I'll repost the two pics proposed by Deboss and myself respectively I've told earlier, having resized Deboss' pic to 330 px:
It's too bad that this image doesn't scale down to size very well.
◊ Himeko Katagiri from Pani Poni Dash is this trope incarnate. In fact, she's Genki Girl, Cloudcuckoolander, The Ditz, Idiot Hair and Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! incarnate. Her catchphrase is "Maho", so much to the point that the kanji for the word floats around the cowlick on her head on a constant basis, acknowledged by the other characters of the series. Her cowlick itself seems to have a mind of it's own, able to move at will.

First one is abstact (I think) second one is just cheering.
inside her mind is even worse... in her dreams the birds squawk Maho and all clouds say it too. I have the series on my comp I can take some HR shots of that if ya want. (When I get home currently bored at work and surfing TV Tropes on my phone)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Yeah I'm running through my DV Ds right now.
Yeah, the inside of her mind is a Cloud Cuckoo Land of the highest caliber.
Here's a few more pics of her in action. If any of them are suitable, I can edit them.

It's a damn shame that we can't represent pictures with Gif files or You

videos.
I want to know how many takes it took for Brittney Karbowski to record this line.
