EDIT: Someone asked about the format of the poll answers:

Poll title is "Your gender-gender of favorite characters", so answers are formatted that way (Your gender goes before the dash). Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Male characters tend to be cooler in general. There is no way someone can be THAT superficial in order to have a favorite character just because he/she is sexy.

I'm a straight male but 8/10 of my favorite characters are guys.

Given how girls are usually just inserted to be the main guy's love interest, I tend to favour the males. They're more fleshed out generally too. Plus they're hot

8/10 are male.

6/10 are main protagonists, and all male. The other 4/10 are two male supporting characters and two female supporting characters.

I'll chalk it up to me watching more shows with male protagonists.

I'm surprised how many people favor one gender over another in terms of their favorite characters.

I'm male, and my favorites are male and female, pretty even really.

Probably because most of those are pretty meh and some are just badly written characters imo. I recommend watching Skip Beat.

While a lot of female characters are cute and funny to watch, a lot of them aren't as interesting as a lot of male characters.

well that depends on whether you judge characters by their writing rather than just how much you like them

I mean you wouldn't put a moeblob on your favs list for their deep background story for example

Male-about even

It's a 5-5 split on my favorite characters list, was a bit surprised that it was perfectly even. It's hard to say about the average anime character since the average anime character is pretty bad regardless of gender.

You too ?!
I'm exactly the same when it comes to fighting games: for some weird I just can't bring myself to play with male chars. Except with my husbando Siegfried.

Now about anime chars specifically : my list is pretty even: 6 females and 4 males. I'm attracted to awesomeness in general so I don't really favor one gender over the other.

I'm a guy and I love female characters. 8/10 of my top 10 favorites are female and if i had an extended favorites list, the ratio would probably be about the same.

There aren't that many truly epic male MC's IMO. I like for male characters to be really strong mentally and cool but half of the time that isn't the case.

Plus I love tsundere characters and most of those are female so yea ^.^

Although in my top 10 there are more female than male characters (6:4), when I look at the rest of my favourite characters, it's an even split. I don't really consider gender before deciding how much I like a character. I'm female.

I think if I rated all the female characters I've seen they would have a higher average than all the male characters, but the upper echelons of favourite characters would be likely to have more males.

I base this on the fact that I can think of a never ending list of male characters that shit me to fucking tears more than any female character I've ever seen.

Yeah it depends. But I personally found all of these lacking in both criterias, except for Kurisu because I liked her a bit, and Satasuki who I liked her and thought she was good in terms of writing.

Male - mostly male, used to have Balalaika on there if that counts.

I favorite people I identify with or admire, and female characters usually don't resonate with me. They aren't often well written and honestly, I don't relate to them as well. But that's not to say I never like them... there are harem charts for this reason.

Yeah there's a lot of shoujo heroines I really like. For example, Nike from this season's The World is Still Beautiful. I will try and finish Skip Beat eventually~ thanks!

I do both tbh. There are a few guy characters I just like because they're funny and make me happy to look at (Takao from knb for example) and others whom actually have deeper personalities and complex things about them (Taichi from Chihaya). Since I'm straight, moe blob females don't really appeal to me, but "moe" guys would.

In my list: 7 male, 3 female. Overall, in anime and anything else, mostly male (I'm female). It's usually male characters that are assigned the types of personalities I find most interesting (whether I personally relate to it or not). It's a bit disappointing. I'd like to see such personalities in females more often.

Somehow having opposite gender favourites means you're sexually attracted to them.
