What type of characters are usually your favorites?
 
Every time you watch an anime there is usually atleast one character that you like above all the others. Does this change from series to series, or do you usually like a certain character type?

Most of the time I like the quiet character usually not focused on as much. Kind of like Rose in FMA, or Momo in Bleach (atleast she isn't focused on much in the series that i've seen so far. No spoilers on her please...) Of course, sometimes I lean towards one of the main characters like Spike in Cowboy Bebop, Lumiere (such an adorable name) in Kiddy Grade, or Heero in Gundam Wing. I guess, I usually go for the character that have a quiet side and tend to be deep in thought. Probably cause I have a lot in common with them in that respect.

Hi Reavyn

hmmmm I like those characters who are shadowy or ambiguous like:
L from death note
Keski from bleach
kain from vampire knight .... etc XD

I usually like the outgoing and charismatic guys :3 sometimes arrogance comes into play too, like Grimmjow from Bleach ^.^

as for girls, i'm ok with them as long as they're not extremely bubbly and annoying -.-"
but the one's i really like are one's like Tohru from Fruits Basket

mythix 07-09-2009 05:25 AM

hmmm, as far as guys go, i cannot really pick one - usually, it varies from the humorous ones, to the ones who know how to handle themselves, let alone a gun...

for girls, it's usually the femmes who can kick some a$$, think for themselves, and get by without having a epic-fail moment every three seconds...i hate the girl characters that are depicted as innocent and such, ughhh...

QueenNanami 07-09-2009 05:45 AM

I tend to always love the out going type of anime characters. Like Tomo from Azumanga Daioh.

BurningMemory9 07-13-2009 05:07 PM

For guys, I either like the cute boyish and playful types (Goku from Saiyuki, Kei from Beauty Pop) or the tough guys who know how to kick butt. (Mello from Death Note, Shinji from Persona 3, etc.)

In girls, I don't really like shy girls. I like the loud ones, people i can relate to. (Risa from Love*Com is my favorite manga/anime person of all time.):D

thcuteness 07-13-2009 05:34 PM

I normally like the perverted character or the one with lots of engery and a cute and positive attitude, mostly cause i can relate them to myself.

niku2189 07-13-2009 05:51 PM

I really like the quiet, but not-shy-at-all, very talented, confident character like Echizen Ryoma from Prince of Tennis, or Kei from Special A,

I also like Hikari Hanazono also from Special A. She's very loud, very dense, very smart but can't see whats right in front of her, and she's really funny.

Zagato289 07-13-2009 05:56 PM

the type of anime character I like are like Goku from DBZ and Ichigo from Bleach.:vsign:

PoissonApple 07-13-2009 05:59 PM

It is really different. Sometimes I like the main charackters, sometimes, the quite one, somtimes the stupid simple minded one, sometimes the really bad one hahaha (I mean like Sephiroth in FF ^^) or the not really important charackters, because they appear in every episode, but have no meaning haha : D

Yuna7780 07-13-2009 06:38 PM

Male Characters: all of my favorites die, excessively smoke, or are evil.

Female Characters: the straight man of the group.

Aniki 07-13-2009 08:24 PM

I like everyone who doesn't scream KAWAI!!!

HAHA you made ma laugh today : D

mysteryman 07-13-2009 10:12 PM

Vegeta , Goku from dbz , quite different but like both styles of characters they have :D

Yoite 07-13-2009 10:35 PM

I like the characters with some attitude (Sanzo from Saiyuki) or funny characters. Generally I'm not so fast in really liking a character nor disliking a character.

Though I hate Risa (if that is her name) from DNangel. She really annoys me.

Kufufunofu 07-14-2009 02:03 AM

those that are considered to be "villains" but truly aren't ..they have both bad and a bit of a good side to them
also mysterious
as for girls the ones that actually have power and are not just there..lol
idk how to explain it :p

Blac 07-17-2009 05:52 AM

princess type

magicalgirlj 07-18-2009 04:19 AM

tsundere
yandere
long hair guys
evil guys and girls

Ronin4hire 07-18-2009 04:28 AM

Don't know if I have a type.

But Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke) is my favourite anime character. He's so noble, has a strong mind, and is very determined.


Reet 07-20-2009 11:00 AM

My favourite anime character is Kenshin himura. :D
He is innocent, caring, determined, strong and a good friend. He's the ultimate character I've ever seen on anime or movies.
Others, I love Gaara from Naruto, and Negi too lol.

hinata2 07-20-2009 11:27 AM

i like characters that are dark that have alot of anger and sadsness cuz i can relate to it

JasonTakeshi 07-20-2009 12:42 PM

Boys: (Not ordered by priority, just randomly)

Alucard (From: Hellsing)
Alucard has the kind of personaly that i like. He is deadly and has the "european etiquette" that i just love. Similar to Walter C. Donez [AS.

Uchiha Itachi (From: Naruto)
His personality is one of the best (if not) from Naruto. The way he protected his brother, and in the other hand, made his brother hate him so much to the point of death, its just... Cant describe. You have to watch it to know it.

Kurono Kei (From: Gantz)
Individualist, insecure and perverted at start, but soon revealed potential and changed his individualist personality to a "care-bear". Plus, became very secure. (And still perverted... Lol)

Keiichi Maebara (From: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
Spin of personalities. Paranoical, care-bear, maniac, Friendly... Ah damn! Cant define him. Thats what makes him unique anyways...

Harima Kenji (From: School Rumble)
Just thinking about him makes me laugh xD. Hes damn funny in a manly way... He is like that "badass" from high school who bullies everyone... But does everything for this "dumb" girl Tenma who he loves. Gotta be one of the funiest things ive seen. ~~

Kintaro (From: Golden Boy)
The guy left the Tokyo University, to roam Japan from town to town, job to job. At the beginning he gives a poor impression to people, but it ends up changing the mind of those who surround him dramaticly.

There are many more, but i cant remenber all of 'Em, unfortunatly. :(

_____________________________________________________________

Girls: (Not ordered by priority, just randomly)

Lucy (From: Elfen Lied)
A sadistic psychotic killer with double personality who wants to kill every human because of the way she was threatened when she was younger. But it turns out that shes just in need of a hug and kiss-kiss from the guy she loves. Althought i dislike her 2nd personality (Nyuu), its to innocent.

Arcueid Brunestud (From: Shingetsutan Tsukihime)
Well, shes inlove with the guy who "killed" her. (Shes somewhat of a vampire who can regenarate)
Shes like that girl who aint shy but doesn't realy know modern stuff (since shes a vampire) like a perfect girlfriend in my point of view.

Revy (From: Black Lagoon)
Mess with her, and you get a bullet in your head. Shes the kind of girl you dont want to mess with.
When she was younger, she was a delinquent who murdered and stole from people. (And still does...) But there is a reason behind everything... You know...

Sekai Saionji (From: School Days)
Playful and outgoing. Sekai does occasionally show a more serious side, and when sufficiently frustrated can be loud, selfish, overemotional and even manipulative. In the end of the series she impressed me (in a bad way) but she had her reason's and i trully understand her. (I recommend this serie for those who didnt watch it)

Dokuro-chan (From: Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan)
"Dokuro is a cute angelic assassin from the future brought back through time to kill Sakura Kusakabe, but instead tries to save him. Mostly, she is just like any other young girl but where other girls might shout or slap to express their displeasure, Dokuro draws her magical spiked kanabō "Excaliborg" and brutally clubs her victim to death with it (the gag is the only real victim of the clubbing is Sakura).She has super-human strength and endurance (because of this she often underestimates her own strength and harms Sakura), and is also capable of bringing someone back to life with Excalibolg by chanting Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi."

Surely i forgot some more, but those are enough for now. ^~

ehh I like that character too. He really was a village hero, everybody misunderstood but it didn't matter him. He just did the right thing for everybody till the end. He is really one of the best. :)

Undertherose25 07-21-2009 07:34 AM

I usually like the serious or dark types...I don't really have a great example to give someone like Sesshomaru or Naraku from InuYasha I guess [even though I don't really like either their personalities are close enough].

NanteNa 07-21-2009 10:38 AM

It's mostly the dark, creepy or rather weird ones that catch my attention at first. I especially like the ones that are hard to figure out and seem to be carrying secrets from bad experiences and such. ^^

OzukakiBurasuki 07-22-2009 07:22 AM

GARCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 RAWR >:O!!!!!!!!!11

Ummmmmmm.......... don't look at that.

I generally tend to like characters in action anime that use projectiles to attack in mass because, down inside, I'm hardcore for weapons. I also like characters who tend to be fancy with their swords, and by that, I mean go crazy on people with their weapon.

For other anime, I tend to like extremely random (personality) people or perverts. :O

peterv20 07-30-2009 03:11 AM

i like strong girls with guts.from sailor moon to hell girl,anime,punk rock bands are some of the art venues that females can express themselves.:cool:

DigitalFreya 07-30-2009 06:15 AM

Someone who isn't the main character, and can be loud and annoying when they get angry:

Zell -Final Fantasy VIII
Cole -Gears of War
Steven Cartwright -Resistance: Fall of Man

Naruto911 08-03-2009 06:40 AM

I usually go for the main character(s).
Naruto from Naruto
Miharu from Girls Bravo
Haji from Blood plus

In other cases I would go for the sorta evil, mysterious, dark types.
Soloman, Carl, and Moses from Blood Plus
Kaname Kuran and Shiki from Vampire Knight
Byakuya, Kenpachi, and Kisuke from Bleach
