Your Favorite Anime/Manga Character/Series?

[AnnaLandin]

I really, honestly can't pick one - so I'm going to play it safe and say "the entire cast of One Piece" because oh my god, have I ever spent an embarrassing amount of time cheering them on and crying over their struggles. I mean, One Piece is 120% feelings, and it would take a stronger woman than I not to fall head over heels for all these super-passionate people willing to bleed for what matters to them.

I'm not current on it, so no spoilers, please!

I'm... just going to leave these fanarts here.

I, uh, may have a small One Piece-problem. >.>

(also, I am SO with you on Hiruma. He's my favourite E21-character! <3 So amaze)

I don't watch a lot of anime, and most of the stuff I've watched is older. I'm more into video games and could probably give you a pretty lengthy list on video game characters I like.

Despite what my name implies Gon from Hunter x Hunter is one of my favourite characters. (Kurapika is my second favourite, I just steal Kurapika's name as he was better at representing me back in 1999 easily 2000's, since everyone was fighting over his gender cause they couldn't figure it out back then. Re-boot series didn't really have that issue in the fanbase.)

When it comes to favrouite charatcers there's two types I always seem to get attached to. The little kid characters (I suppose you could really take that the wrong way, but it's really not like that) Negi and Kotoro (Negima) Yahiko (Kenshin) Jim (Outlaw Star) and the 'I can't figure out if that's a girl or a guy' characters. Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho) Tieria (Gundam 00) Sugino (Tactics)

One series I've loved for a very long time has to be Dogs Bullets and Carnage by Shirow Miwa. It's set up sometime in the far future somewhere in Europe. Crime and illegal experimentation have become common. There are three city sections like the surface, the underground and then the "below" where all the crazy shit happens.
I also love the artwork...OvO'
When I was a senior in High School one of my favorite bookstores was going out of business and I was still learning how to draw manga at the time. One of the employees there ended up scaring me and my anxiety back then was super bad. I don't think English was his first language and he was REALLY loud. I was looking at manga and suddenly I hear...

"EXCUSE ME, YOUNG LADY CAN I HELP YOU FIND ANYTHING?"
Me: "Oh, um no, I'm just browsing but thank you."
Guy: "WHAT GENRE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?" (He was kinda pushy.)

At that moment, I grabbed the first thing I saw which was Dogs volume one, I bought it and got the Hell out xD
And that is how it all started.

My favourite manga is Tokyo Ghoul. I actually went in wanting to be kind of eh on it but HAHA THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. It doesn't make me cry but it makes me feel things and think about stuff and get really invested in all the characters. THE MAIN REASON though is that the protagonist's development is something I've always played out in my head for other leads from series I like. Usually when a "cinnamon roll" snaps, it's rather short-term. They just get angry, they get pacified... And I sometimes imagined scenarios where they snap for good or for a long time... and then... it actually happened in TG. Overall, it feels like a manga that was written for me, haha <'D

Other huge favourites: My Hero Academia (great art, great protag), Haikyuu!!, One Piece, Ouran Host Club, OnePunch Man, Fullmetal Alchemist and a ton more OTL"

Short Answer:Fav Character: Hiruma Youichi Fav. Series: Eyeshield 21

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE EYESHIELD 21!!! ;v;
It's the manga that got me into sports series... Hiruma is so hilarious that just telling my friend about him got her interested enough to read it and now it's her favourite manga :'D
(I actually found OPM because I was looking up what else Murata has/is drawing after I finished reading ES21)

Yahiko (Kenshin)

Oooh Yahiko was my fave too. He grew the most.

[Thesleepypencil]

Make me choose!? Oh no no no no

Favourite Anime: Princess tutu!!! It was maybe the 7th or 8th Anime i had ever watched. And I'm a girl who loves fairy tales and Ballet so it just made me so happy. And then everything went dark and there were twists left and right and i could not predict that end so i fell in love. (I also love the animes Gekkan shojo, Akagami no shirayukihime, and library wars)

Character: Probably Kyoko from skip beat? Or Tohru or Kyo from Fruits basket? Or multiple others. It's really really hard for me to pic a manga character to love because once i love them i LOVE them ya know

series: Skip beat is top of that list. (It has to be i own 28 volumes.) But if princess Tutu had a proper not bad manga it would win. Second place is tied with Library wars, Akagami no shirayukihime, Beauty pop, Tsubasa those with wings, and fruits basket.

[winglesscomic]

it's a difficult question for me cause i maybe watch one anime a year, but I guess out of all the animes I watched it has to be Baccano!, because while the cast of characters is huge they're all colourful and unique in their own way.

And then of course there's the cringey names like "Jacuzzi Splot" and "Nice Holystone." But my favourite character is this handsome psycho killer, Claire Stanfield.

[SpavVy]

Ohhh I love Claire Stanfield from Bacanno!
Ladd Russo is pretty cool too!

[niinasalmelin]

I'd say Hajime no Ippo, Space Brothers, Rose of Versailles and Berserk (just finished reading it)
Those are first ones that come in my mind. ALSO everything from Junji Ito and I cry tears of joy.

Hajime no ippo because of the CAST is one of best ones I've seen. Really the character building is outstanding and boxing matches are intensive. Space Brothers has also amazing cast and the space stuff. It made me very inspired and I had to draw while watching so that I'd not feel like complete slack. Rose of Versailles blends history and fiction successfully and is a real tear jerker with, once again, great character development. Berserk has breath taking art and I like the dark fantasy aspect it has going on. Monster designs are funky, characters have good arcs and Griffith is the best worst boy.

Choosing a favourite character from any of these series would be impossible for me since all of them are so....... perfect ;___;

[AshKetchup]

My favorite is... umm... I can't decide on the spot but lately I've been watching Gintama non-stop because it's just too damn funny! So for now that's my favorite but other ones I love are One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, etc.
However, I would like to point out that there was one anime, One Punch Man, which piqued my interest in making web comics, so.. yeah there's that

[Raven_C]

My favorite is Gintama. It knows how to combine comedy, drama, and action so well. It's known for its comedy, but even the most stupid, mundane premise can give you a thousand feels. Plus, it has really strong and capable female characters //SWOONS. The action is pretty awesome too, when it calls for it. Especially in the most recent events of the manga -- I'm like dying from all the sad feels because everything is serious and it hasn't had any traditional Gintama comedy in over a year and I'm just SDFKJDSHFDFHA //cries

As for characters...well, uh, I'm a bit biased so Sakata Gintoki from Gintama lol.... cuz he's not the typical always-do-good protag. He doesn't want to be the best like all the other shounen out there. He's just lazy, hilarious, living his life, trying to make ends meet and pay rent. But if ya hurt the people he loves, he'll eff you up and becomes pretty badass in really serious moments.

Um, like he can go from this:

to this:

I love him :'D

[joannekwan]

Ugh! Don't make me choose!

But I suppose the one that will always be closest to my heart is Shaman King.
It was the first series that got me into manga and I really love the close bonds the characters have with one another and their ghostly partners. This was the series that got me loving the paranormal so much.

I also appreciate Yoh as a protagonist. He's laid back and more pensive than a lot of other shonen main characters. And the series leaves the brash hot-headedness to his friend Horo Horo.
But my favorite characters from the series will always be this creepy ass mofo and his wife.

Also, I freakin' love these girls.

[dracoplato]

My favorite anime & manga is forever Please Save My Earth because of the story. I love the reincarnation aspect of it of course (haha anyone that's read my comic knows how much I'm into that XD) , but I also adore that the artist chose to do part of it from the POV of two different characters. So she shows the past from one of the character's perspectives and then you see it again from the other character's perspective and wow it just adds so much to the story. The story is just so good and it has such great characterization, and I love Rin so much >u<

Another series I'm really into is Zettai Karen Children but that one is entirely because of Hyoubu Kyousuke.

He's just so freakin' cool, aaaaaah!!

[Ringarune]

My favorite manga is shugo chara!!!

A lot of weird circumstances occurred for me to luv this series so much XD 1st off I really luv magical girl stuff, and shugo chara is just one of the best. At least in the manga, it's not super formulaic, and puts a lot of focus on character development. it's romance is also right up my alley and the art is so phenomenal I can't even express it in words QwQ I also read it as it was released in volumes, so I think all that wait time made me enjoy it all the more. For anyone that likes magical girl I would recommend this series (although not so much the anime cuz it's extremely cluttered with filler and actually changes the ending XD)

For anime, I would have to say that I luv princess jellyfish

This series has some of the strongest characters I've seen in a show. I swear, I luv every single one. I'm not even joking when I say I've watched it over 3x XD. Wish the anime was longer, but still, I really recommend this anime as well as its manga counterpart ^^

[YamamotoRyuunosuke]

I wouldn't know which one to chose to be honest.
There are just way too many and my taste changed a lot over time.
There was a time when I thought Naruto and Bleach were the best things ever created.
Now I'm more into very mature themed stories, like MPD Psycho, Sun Ken Rock, Tokyo Ghoul (manga, not anime), Zetman(manga), Gantz(manga), Neon Genesis Evangelion, Berserk, etc, etc, etc...

[dawgofdawgness]

this one right here.

[monotone_ink]

Favourite character(s):

• Punpun: Because he's an interesting case study for what happens to a person when they fail to truly convey themselves to other people.

• Kaneki Ken: Because he's a tragic character that, despite enduring through his trials, still questions himself.

• Guts: Because he's also another character that questions himself despite enduring everything that gets thrown at him. Also, his dynamic with Griffith is one of the most interesting in manga to this day, and he inspired me to put my grasses on.

Favourite Series: Punpun
Because it wasn't afraid to kick me in the balls, and then do a little more.
