This can be based on Fate/Stay Night along with Fate/Zero as well if you previously watched this series like I did.

^_^ My favorite character to date is actually between Rin and Ilya. Rin has always been one of my favorite characters, and Ilya is just SO adorable, I love looking at her every time she pops up.

Gilgamesh is my favorite. He just keeps on getting better for me.

My favorite female is Rin though.

Kirei Kotomine and Emiya Kiritsugu. They are so badass it's unbelievable.

After that, Rider (Alexander) and Saber.

I like child Gilgamesh better. Otherwise he's a bit too arrogant.

Well, if you count all of the Fate characters in general then obviously right now characters like Saber and Rin win out as they are characters I know...I can't say I know the characters in Fate/Zero as of yet.

But, the characters I am personally most interested in as of yet are probably Kiritsugu, Kirei, Rider, and Berserker.

After watching Fate/Stay Night, it was Saber and Gilgamesh. Both were pretty high on my top favorites list.
After going through Fate and UBW routes, it's still the same. Though I think my like for Gilgamesh increased.
After going through UBW movie, it was the same.

I forgot whether I read Fate/Zero novel before or after UBW movie (I think it was before), but after reading some parts of Fate/Zero, Rider gradually became another favorite character. I loved his character even more after reading the whole novel.

I remembered I debated for a long time about who I like the most out of these three characters: Saber, Gilgamesh and Rider. It was really hard for me to choose. But I think after a while, I decided to come to this conclusion: 1. Gilgamesh 2. Rider 3. Saber. I would say Gilgamesh and Rider are pretty close though. I still say Rider has some of the best characterization (and personality) I've seen at least in Fate/Zero. But I have an odd, strong attachment to Gil and his character. I still don't know why up to this day.

*looks back at my long comment* For such a simple question, I made a pretty long comment lol =X

^_^ Long responses are the best!

And now that I'm on episode 4 of Fate/Zero, I have to say... 0_0 I REALLY like Saber now, especially when she's in her "man form" around Iris-san.

Kohaku Kotomine is my favorite.

My favorite female character is probably Rin, but I really liked all 3 heroines about equally. Rin only wins because her combination of sardonic and playful is just so perfect. If only she were what epitomized modern tsundere instead of those Kugimiya loli-things.

Pretty much completely agree with this post, especially that last sentence.

I quite like Saber, particularly in the VN, because her back story was incredibly well done. It didn't go into a huge amount of detail, but it did do a great job of showing her motivation and even explained a great deal about how she acts.

I can't say anything about Sakura, because i haven't read Heaven's Feel yet.

I also think I'm growing to like Shirou more each route.

From F/SN that's Rin and Archer.
In F/Z so far I really love Rider (he's funny and just genereally great guy), Kariya (poor guy :( ), Kiritsugu (he's definetely an interesting person) and Irisviel (especially I love her interactions with Saber)

So far, I really like Kariya and berserker the best. I like the darker story that surrounds both.

Apart from that, Iskander is a real bro :).

As for Fate/Stay Night, my favorite character was Archer (not Gilgamesh).

I would've really liked to learn more about caster. She was easily, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all the characters but we never got to see enough of her, even in the VN. The UBW route was the only one she played a significant role. I hear she plays more of a role in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia

In order

1. Gilgamesh - what a hottie.
2. Alexander (Rider) - he's just so funny! I've read the light novels, and he just gets funnier and funnier.
3. Saber - I really don't know why I love her.
4. Archer (FSN) - He's cool.
5. Berserker (F/Z) - He looks so cool, and (MAJOR SPOILER)

Kirei without a question. And will be till the end. 6th ep only proves that ^_^ . Paraphrasing Hamilton's Star Kings: "At last I see what it is in that devil that attracts you. One hardly ever meets a man who is perfect at anything . . . but Kotomine Kirei is the perfect antagonist".

I just realized that I should probably clarify this.

So my favorites in order are: Kotomine, Rin, Saber = Ilya, Rider(F/S N version).

And then Sakura ranks somewhere near the bottom a few steps above Shinji.

Favorite female would have to be Rin, though I like Saber as well. I just find her a bit boring sometimes.

For male, Iskander from F/0 and F/SN Lancer. I'm also liking F/0 Gilgamesh more than his FSN counterpart.

Well, of course. Kohaku was the real heroine of the Hisui route. It's only reasonable that she give her extra route to Akiha since her route was stolen by Ciel.

+1.

Both are equally awesome.

Archer of F/SN with his unlimited arsenal of weapons and chiseled demeanor, supported by his dark and dangerous personality.

and

Rider (Iskander/Alexander the Great) of F/Z, the true incarnation of GAR epicness.
With his overbearing, but noble personality, who hates him?

To be honest, I think almost every character in F/Z is interesting so far. Lancer and Ryuunosuke (or whatever that serial killer's name was), I find boring, but others are interesting.

My favourite character would be Gilgamesh. I like his personality the most so far and I also find him more interesting than others. "Who gave you the permission to gaze upon me, rabid dog?" Lines like these are just awesome.

Irisviel is also great, she is probably the best wife I've ever seen in any anime. Kirei is likable too.

Rider and Archer have to be my two favorite prominent servants, Berserker will be a favorite once he gets more solid screentime.

My favorite two masters have to be Kirei (Did you see that fanservice shot in the latest episode? ;D) and Kiritsugu. Retrospectively, Kariya will be a favorite just like Berserker in time.

So far my favorites in F/Z, first is the badass Emiya Kiritsugu followed by another badasss chara Kotomine Kirei. Next will be the servant, cocky but entertaining Gilgamesh, the dark Berserker, cool Lancer, and funny Rider. I have a weak spot for unrequited love and Matou Kariya is in my list. The animation, production, and chara development are very well done in here so there's a lot to like in F/Z compare to FSN series.

Shirou spoiled the fun for me in FSN so I was not able to thoroughly enjoy the series but my weakness for longhaired bishie like Assassin (the VA was a plus) still made it to the spot and not to forget Gilgamesh.

For Fate/Zero -
Rider (Iskandar) - always entertaining and fun to watch
Kiritsugu - I like his dark and underhanded style

I must say though that I don't hate any character in the cast, and I feel they're all very well developed

For Fate/Stay Night -
Archer - I like his back story (but only because of unlimited blade works)

Shirou isn't that bad... he's only that bad when he's in love with Saber. He vastly improves when he's after Sakura or Rin. Saber might be my favorite of the three, but I admit she's the worst love interest for Shirou.

Anyway, my favorite of Zero is Rider. Hands down. Waver too. I feel for Kariya. Both those two (and Iris) kind of steal the show.

I like most characters, though.

I think people vastly over exaggerate how he acts in the Fate route. I mean halfway through the freaking route he's all but thrown away that silly "girls should not fight" idea in favor of teaming up with Saber. Though, yeah, I do prefer him in the other two routes overall.
