MC = Main Character for the weak.

Well, the title says it all. I will give some examples:

Inuyasha - MC would be Inuyasha obviously, but Kagome has to enter the same category, as half of the anime is just about her.

Samurai Champloo - MC would be the two samurais and the girl, I forgot their name.

Darker than Black Gaiden - The OVA where the Yin and Hei go out. Hei is the Darker than Black's MC, but Yin was the true MC here, so at this case both would be MCs.

Fullmetal Alchemist: ED and hes brothers would be MCs

So I want to know if those assumptions are really right of if an anime can only have one MC actually.

Of course it can, you already realized they exist. Although probably only Samurai Champloo from that list has more than one, and it actually has three not two. OK FMA too.

There's no reason why there couldn't be more than two. I have no idea how many Baccano has, but it has a lot.

There's technically no main character, but if you count Isaac/Miria for connecting all the stories, then I'll change my answer. Actually, why'd you say Darker than Black Gaiden rather than just regular Darker than Black anyways? There's more than 2 main characters right there.

Think he's talking about MCs as in..... What characters the series focuses on more than the others.

Also... Posting in Lupadim thread. Don't be surprised about anything that goes on here.

So pretty much all of Lupadim's thread is an utter failure?

Hitman Reborn had 7 main characters and it keep the story consistent with them all. So if they can have more than two the answer would be yes.

Is this some kind of joke question? If not, then YES. If anything, the series which focus on multiple main characters tend to better than those who don't.
