Old_Raven said: Honestly, the most common trait is just that theyre willing to kill, with the exception of Honoka Takamiya.
1) Black★Star [Soul Eater] -- comedic, honorable, dependable, and basically a heaven-sent angel of war. I mean, even with shattered bones he still fights at 100%.
2) Lord Shinigami [Soul Eater] -- an aloof and yet frightening existence capable of just erasing his enemies. Bonus points for Rikiya Koyama's amazing performance and even more bonus points for simply being Death.
3) Mine [Akame ga Kill!] -- Im not a fan of tsunderes in general but shes amazingly smart and powerful in combat. Also, she can get more powerful as the risk against her increases and that yields spectacular results. And last but not least, the vengeance was 1 of the best feelings Ive gotten out of anime.
4) Ayaka Kagari [Witch Craft Works] -- stoic, beautiful (yet not sexualized like virtually every other anime girl), self-sacrificing, a Fire Magic user that sets the very air ablaze, and her Tempest form is... well, frightening and I can only hope to see it again some chapter.
5) Nicholas D. Wolfwood [Trigun] -- 1 of the 1st characters I saw willing to look the person in the face as he kills them for the greater good. And in the manga, hes 1 helluva vicious fighter.
6) Saeko Busujima [Highschool Of The Dead] -- bloodthirsty but in the sense that she merely enjoys fighting against a legitimate enemy; a trait Ive always shared.
7) Soul "Eater" Evans [Soul Eater] -- chapter 75 "Salvage VI" in the Chapter of Sloth. 'Nuff said.
8) Franken Stein [Soul Eater] -- a man of Madness born on the side of Order who merely wants to do what he wants but without the feelings of guilt his world gives to him by those very actions he desires. I can really relate to his stance on this.
9) Maka Albarn [Soul Eater] -- the paragon of courage. I mean, its 1 thing to fight an opponent thinking you have even a small chance of winning and its another to fight with NO hope of winning. Also, shes the best scythe-user Ive seen in anything ever.
10) Honoka Takamiya [Witch Craft Works] -- heres a guy who tries to fight with all he has, never to protect himself, but to protect everyone else, even the 1 who puts her life on the line to protect him. And hes not afraid to sacrifice parts of his body, or his life, or even things precious to him to do so.
You FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WAITER FROM THE COFFEE SHOP IN "SOUL EATER" :| he is really likable |
