For me, it's badass characters that don't have a shitty personality or annoying. I like them even more when they have a good sense of humor.

My favorite characters are those who know what they want and at least make an attempt to work towards them. They are friendly towards those closest to them. They know when they made a mistake, and actually acknowledges them. They are active.

Not only are they the kind of people I want to hangout with, but they are people I can respect.

I like strong deredere characteristics in anime girls. (Chihaya, Morgiana, Ryouko and Hakaze.)

Ippo is my bae and his work ethic is amazing, Nanba a hilarious character and apparently and Sawako is an absolute qt.


Morgiana is love, Morgiana is life. I love her! Any girl character similar to her will do. Weak heroines turn me off..

Guy: Strong, Ambitions, Determined will do for me. Sorta of like Mugen from Samurai Champloo or Naruto :3

Light Yagami from Death Note. He is the single most symbolic character I've ever seen, not only in anime but in maybe all of literature. He is like everyone on Mal in the way that he was a human being that was "innocent" and had the stability to have a house to live in, computer to be on, opportunity to go to school (in which he unlike us probably) is a top student. His view of the world was a reflection of what many people think today, including Tsugumi Ohba (Creator of Death Note), Me, and millions of other: The world is rotten and it's being infected by rotten people. Now, what is the best way to serve true justice and rid the world of evil? Is it to abide by the law and pass righteous judgement accordingly with the law? But what if the law is corrupt? Is it better to take matters into one's own hands if you have the ability to pass judgement upon the wicked? The Death Note is the apple of temptation + a divine power that literally made Light Yagami a god. Now the apple of temptation divides the Good of Light Yagami - Teenager who wants to rid the world of evil (pure dream) and the Evil of Light Yagami - A mass murderer who will do anything to achieve his dreams of ridding the world of evil... even if it means becoming evil himself. His choice to get blood on his hands (loss of innocence) and have a god complex eventually led to his downfall. Upon his downfall Light Yagami reflects upon everything he's done and regrets it deeply. He sees an image of his old innocent self and cries. His ending is set in the middle of the darkness and the light on stairs, the symbol of ascension and descension. Now everything is left up to the audience to deem him as a purely evil character or a ambiguous one whose morales were corrupt but perhaps it wasn't him that was corrupt but rather the absolute power that was bestowed upon him. Light's entire character is a message to the audience: (You can find this out on your on).
If you guys want to be all deep and pretentious then you can even argue that Light Yagami was a character that was 1/3 human, 1/3 Jesus, and 1/3 Satan. Watch the show and you'll know what I mean, I'm too lazy to write an essay here.

My appeal? Deep/Symbolic, Chill, or I just feel a bit attached to their characters.

Examining your own lists, do you notice any connections or similarities between the characters? What draws you to them? Are they similar to your own personality or are they drastically different? Do they make you think or feel certain things when you watch them on screen?

I took a look at my favorites. There doesn't seem to be a connection between them, nor do I relate to them in any way. But they do make me feel certain things when they are on screen.

I prefer characters that are visually pleasing, relatable and outgoing. Characters with a great personality, e.g Gon Freecs from Hunter x Hunter, friendly and relatable when he is with friends, but when he is fighting he means business.

uchiha itachi: i used to love him back in the day cuz i thought he was going to be a great, evil antagonist (which he obviously was) but then HE GOT ME ALL SENTIMENTAL AND UGH
shishio satsuki: he's a doofus but really adorable and lovable. and he dresses like a guy i'd date 10/10 would recommend

I'll be attracted to a character that has qualities I'm familiar with. Typically, if they're modest, and not arrogant or full of themselves, but outgoing as well, I'll be pretty fond of them.
