Favorite Anime Characters

[Otaku108]

Who are some of your favorite characters and why? Did you understand/identify a lot with them? Maybe they always did the most unexpected thing at just the right moment... Lets here it!

[Mr Hanky35]

mine would definitely be Kazuma Yagami from Kaze no stigma b/c he was awesome and he didn't screw around. he never overreacted or OVER-THOUGHT anything. the girl that liked him never got a shot on him when he was misunderstood for something perverted, or when he was. not like she never tryd tho, so it was funny.

also you never included yours

mine comes later. I like to see everyone else's first, never fear I already have mine selected :) I wasn't meaning for everyone to limit themselves to one though, if you have others post them as well.

[Gaia]

Clare from Claymore :p.

Just an amazing character. Also, the main character from Wolf's Rain ( his name escapes me right now ).

[ReturnofFruitbasketbob2]

Galatea hawt

[themasteroffools]

Monkey D luffy: (One Piece)

His stalwart resilience and refusal to back down. He's a meat loving idiot who really isn't as dumb as he acts. He has a huge heart and that's all he needs, everyone is drawn to him in the show as well as the viewers.He'll never take no for an answer and will never let his dream slip away.
Gomu Gomu No!

Alucard:(Hellsing)
No words, watch hellsing. Understand later

Lt colonel Mae Hughes: (Full Metal Alchemist)

A family man with an upfront personality, he bolsters everyone around him, constantly up lifting people spirits. He is extremely good at his job and true to his friends. Not afraid to use a private military line to talk about his daughter.
*Psst* want to see a picture of Elysia?

Andrew Waltfeld: (Gundam seed and destiny)

Well, though I like a plethora of anime characters, my all time favorite is Andrew Waltfeld from Gundam Seed. Quite simply he is coffee loving man with a good sense of justice. I can relate to him in almost every way and he actually has a similar appearance to myself...
It was really uncanny when I first saw the character...
"hmmmm, this is good coffee, and if the coffee is good the day will be good!"~Waltfeld

Genji Amano: (Getbackers)

The once feared Thunder Emperor, Leader of the Volts and the Four Gods and partner to Mido Ban. He has a scarred past from which he hopes to escape. Loving, kind, compassionate and not to bright (or is he?). Genji is an easy character to be drawn too. Though he seems a bit foolish, he is fiercely loyal and very powerful.

Zaraki Kenpachi: (Bleach)

Zaraki rocks the socks off of rocks! And thats putting it mildly. He's a battle lusting man who cannot get the finer points of battle, so he compensates with pure power. All he can think about is fighting, he'll fight his own team as long as he gets battle! The true definition of a berserker! He must have a soft spot though, as he looks after a link pink haired girl whose name has forsaken me...

[Adam]

Bad ass: Alucard.
Just plain awesome: L.

[Mizzbehavin]

I think I am most like Shuurei from Saiunkoku Monogatari, shes not your typical goo-goo eyed love gal. She shows her strengths and her weaknesses by overcoming discrimination and chauvinism in the story. She is very courageous and has a strong will. You can rely on her get out of sticky situations by using her wits and resources. She does not take a a lot of crap, but knows when to fight her battles. To me she is a true heroine.

[ingrey]

Well, here are a few of my favorites:

Lelouch from Code Geas: I like him because he's ruthless in pursuing the things that are important to him, and the fact that he experiences a lot the internal conflict deciding what means are acceptable in accomplishing his end.

Hondo Goro from Major Season: This guy has a never say die attitude and never gives up, regardless of what he's facing. And, unlike a lot of other protagonists in anime who have very strong wills, Goro has a spine as well and he's not timid or mentally challenged.

Angel Heart from Angel Heart: Just a very memorable character, her innocent, naive and compassionate nature presents a strange juxtaposition with what you'd expect someone raised in brutal conditions as an assassin would exhibit.

Keith from Toward the Terra: He's a military genius with a rather cold demeanor that tries to come to terms with the mystery of his own existence and his place in the world.

Tenma and Wolfgang Grimmur from Monster: meh, I could say a lot about these guys, but it's better to just watch the show for yourself. I like their dedication, the way they face challenges and suffering, and their respective outlooks on life.

Agreed. For me add:

Light and L from Death Note. Both extremely intelligent and committed to what they believe in.

Rika from Higurasi no Naki Koro ni. There's just something about her. She's cute yet at the same time strong willed and wise.

Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga from Azumanga Daioh. She's just plain hilarious. Her mind works on a level all it's own.

Teresa of the Faint Smile. She kicks arse but at the same time has a strong caring side.

Rainspider from Desert Punk. Menacing but with a unique, sometimes self-deprecating, sense of humour.
