    Only one character i like and i feel proud to say that is "Goku". He's the only one powerful man in this world.

    My favorite character is Makunochi Ippo from Hajime No Ippo.

    HmVxPCNMcex6ckK.jpg

    He is my favourite fictional character. I identify with him as he is willing to fight for his beliefs, is humble and kind of shy. So many times I was left going "ahwww" when they showed him with Kumi (the girl he fell for) and he was just so shy and awkward. Reminds me of myself at times :p. I love the way he maintains his kind and caring nature regardless of the situation. That shows real resolve of character which I try to emulate. I originally identified with him while he was trying to catch the leaves. Because it seemed like I was doing the same everyday at the time.

    He shows us that hard work and patience can achieve great things, and that everything good takes time and effort. Also that the time and effort is never wasted even if the goal is not reached. It helps us grow, step by step.

    Well, that's how I see him any way.

    Too bad I am too tall to cosplay as him...:(

    Very hard to think of anime characters that truly standout or feel different but some of my faveourites are:guts27.jpeg

    Guts, Gatsu, whatever you want to call him, he is simply the man. I got into the anime when I was 15 or so because at that time I was just watching anyting that invlved shouting and violence. After watching the anime I started reading the manga and IMO Gatsu is one of the most developed and fleshed out characters in this medium (definitely in the battle manga genre anyway). If you think its just one dude shouting at demons before beheading em, your really missing out. The whole story is about defeating destiny and making your own path in life... Thats just hidden under all the excessive blood. Hoping an anime of the Millenium Falcon arc happens at some stage. With an arc title like that, it needs to happen yesterday.





    n353435342092_3848.jpg


    Hideo Kuze for me always stood out in the whole GITS:SAC universe. Like gatsu, someone else has decided the outcome of his life (well his life once he shows up anyways) and his story involves getting back freewill in a world controlled by the government. Bit anarchistic but he means well. And hes a cyborg living in an outdated body yet anyone who has seen the latter half of SAC 2nd gig will tell you, Kuze rocks the s**t.

    SpeedGrapher2.jpg

    Tatsumi Saiga may not have starred in the best anime but he is easily one of my faveourite characters. Starting to notice here I have a think for oppressed heroes battling the ruling dynasty which in speed grapher's case, would be sleazy politicians and moneymen all with perverted powers of their own. Alot of money was taken from speed grapher's budget to go into Basilisk and Trinity blood which were all airing around the same time. Magic ninjas and vampires with guns = BIG MONEY! Whereas Gonzo were hesitant that a man who only gets aroused when looking through the lense of a camera running around killing stretchy gimps and cannibal mermaid women with said camera wouldnt be as big a success so siphoned its budget which results in a pointless recap episode and a weak second half. :mad: If I win the lotto, I'm remaking it with the budget it deserves!


    Lol didnt tink this post would become so long.

    Ken from fist of the north star is absolute badass, one of the coolest in my opinion, chops buildings down with one hand, explodes heads for a living, just all round mean machine:cool:

    briareos-4.jpg

    Briareos from Appleseed was another character I liked, along with Deunan, they were really strong characters with a weak side for each other, along with a good storyline, the 2 films were top notch


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I'll be honest, I haven't seen that much anime, but apart from the awesome Konata and L who've both been mentioned, you gotta love Ryuk (deathnote). Such a lad, always out just to cause a bit of havok for his own amusemet.

    Shinji Ikari from Evangelion has always caught my attention because Hideaki Anno was able to capture the complexities undergone by struggling teenagers who is constantly searching for validity from their peers and, most especially, their fathers. So yeah.

    yu_gi_oh_4.jpg

    Name: Yu Gi Oh
    Date of birth: Unknown

    He's my fave anime character ever and I watch lots of animes so it's good for him! He's really good at being an anime character because he has cards right and then when he gets in trouble or bullied he throws the card at someone and a magical dragon pops out! Then it turns into chess and they go "dragon move right and blow fire". Yugi always wins so it proves he's really insane and good and stuff and so kawaaaai! <33


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭ishvalian


    Heihachi from Samurai 7. I like him because of his positive outlook on life and also because he makes engineers look cool :D

    NKZPD00Z.jpg


    And also Pip Bernadotte (Hellsing). A pure and ruthless gun for hire.

    Monkey D. Luffy - One Piece

    undisputable in my opinion


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 360 ✭✭ConstantJoe


    I don't really know that much about anime or manga, but out of the ones I've seen/watched, my favourite character would either be Satou, from Welcome to the NHK, or Madarame from Genshiken.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 Merlin5545


    hi guys,,,
    Thanks for sharing your favorite anime characters with us.Ichigo Kurosaki and Boa Hancock...well Ichigo is pretty obvious for an Bleach fan but Boa Hancock is the only reason for which I re started watching One Piece after dropping it for nearly two years.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5 joshuaty2010


    Definately Ichigo is popular anime character and he had a similar attitude whenin terms of crazy thing to Naruto. hehe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Davoe


    I can't believe bleach is still moving on with the main plot... It seems to me they should do a major flashback and return to the pre-dbz thing going on with the super powers and wtv else they made up.
    It's a fine story up until
    Ichigo dies and the espada 0 comes out.......
    I stopped following it recently.

    By the same writer, Naruto is 100x better story-wise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭Cy_Revenant


    I have a new favourite character to add to my list. The Galactic Pretty Boy, Tsunashi Takuto.

    Off topic, but Naruto is not written by the same person as Bleach.

    Every time a person says Kishimoto has good writing, an angel dies.

    That's pretty damn mainstream.

    Pretty much everyone in Eva got on my nerves. I didn't like a single character in that show.

    How could you not like any characters from NGE?
    Auska was my favorite even though she was a bitch o-o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 mileseverett


    Kakashi from naruto :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,164 ✭✭✭Konata

    Fuko from Clannad <3 Makes me laugh every time I see her, absolutely adorable.

    Euphemia from Code Geass - awesome character. Strong yet compassionate, I really admired her in the series.

    I only watched a few episodes. I haven't read the manga. I have been meaning to watch the rest. I heard the manga is quite good.

    I looove C.C. Such a flirtatious witch. Nice pic K.O. Kiki.

    The anime is epic, stick it on your watch list :p. "I am the great teacher Onizuka! Nice toooo meet you!" The manga is a lot less sedate then the anime so I prefer that lol.

    C.c is a devil in high heels ;p

    Awh but she is so adorable and cute in that scene. Kinda remind me of Nyu from Elfin Lied.

    Best would be a toss between Desert Punk, Death Note - Light Yagami and Berserk - Guts.

    Each has his own quality

    Desert Punk = Hilarious dark humor
    Light Yagami = Sadistic, Clever, Murderous and Ingenious
    Guts = Gentle, Calm and waves a f**king massive sword, what more can you want.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 Cas.


    Hmm.. my favourites would be Arcueid and Altrouge Brunestud from Tsukihime.

    Arcueid Brunestud
