This is not a list of best character development it is actually a list of most popular character.

I am always astounded by the pleb tier taste of the Japanese. Poll's like these are usually just a popularity contest, who goes out of their way to vote in these things? People that aren't watching anime thats who ha.

So you guys are baffled that iconic characters and characters from prime time shows dominate the poll? You would also just vote for your favorite character and call it a day, lol.

I noticed this in other videos as well that they don't watch anime that much, they only watch popular shows except for a few otakus. There was one video where a guy was telling his favorite scenes from your lie in April and his gf stood a few meters away staring at her phone, pretending like she don't know him.

How is this any worse than crunchyroll awards? It isn’t a Japan thing, it’s only about popularity.

Besides, imagine complaining about this when you have MT and AOT in your favourites

Do not underestimate how popular Dragon Ball was and still is. There are countless people who don't even care about anime who know those characters and the franchise.

Article is somewhat misleading. The actual poll only involved characters from the weekly Shounen Jump! magazine.

...nothing like the anime fans on MAL?

Vegeta I can understand, he basically did a 180 from start to finish in DBZ.

I thought DBZ wasn't popular anymore.

As far as Demon Slayer is concerned, they're going to have a culture correct japanese character over any other.

As far as popular lists, they used MAL:

"doesnt deserve" is a strong word lmfao

you should just say "i personally dont like Luffy" and we would wholeheartedly accept that

its better that way instead of you saying luffy "doesnt deserve to be in top 10" lol


im well aware that its your opinion, but if you ask majority of us, all of us can agree that Luffy is a very likable character

but that's not my point here, its not about Luffy is likable or anything

its about preference

yeah, me too, i know Tanjiro is likable but i strongly disagree that Tanjiro is #1 cuz personally i dont really like him


but oh well what can i do? People love him

deserve it or not its not our problem, you can't just antagonize something just because its opposite with your preference, thats not how it works

If you guys still have doubts about Japanese anime fans have the best taste... just click the link I am sharing and you will understand that the most discussed or rated animes this season like Arifureta, Attack on Titan or Sono Bisque Doll are not even the most watched shows in Japan themselves. This is the TV Ratings of just one region and I am sure that rest of Japan is no different.

It's a popularity contest so? MAL's popularity lists for characters isn't that much better in terms of good writing or variety. The vast majority of people who watched DS are not people watching seasonals or analyzing shows decades old like some people on here and that is okay. I would take the JP over most international fandoms. Seems to be way less drama.

Does this list represent the whole japanese anime community? I'm sure they just randomly asked anyone they find. It's like one of those YouTube videos where they interview random people about their favourite anime. And i don't think outside of Japan things are that different. Because majority of the people will go for these characters.

Y'all remember when the Western fans turned a Hottest Male Character poll into a popularity poll with Luffy and Naruto at #1 and #2?

I'm down to shit on the Japanese fans for things we Western fans find abhorrent (and vice versa, we also suck and do things they never would), but this ain't one of those things.

Lol, that's some relationship. Pretending she didn't know him? I don't even know what to say but to laugh. That's quite sad but I can't help it. Like whaaaaat?

Lol, these some characters barely stand out in terms of Character development.

Tanjiro? His development was very shallow. I would say all his development was in the early eps of the 1st season. For the rest of the journey, even in the manga was just him fighting demons and being an empath.

Naruto? It's just power-ups and more techniques. He barely changed. He just went with the flow of puberty. I don't call that development.

Inosuke? Yeah, this guy learnt so much and he become more civilised. That's character development but it had barely anything to do with the story (all for comedy's sake). This guy was strong from the start. All he needed was to be taught how to live and relate to other humans.

Hinata? Yes, quite a lot of character development. Some may argue he deserves to be there. I think because of the rest of how the list is, maybe Hinata was supposed to be their best shot. I would have gone for Kageyama. Not only did this guy change his gameplay, but he also changed his attitudes and character type. Made some changes to his personality as well so he can get along with others better.

Izuku? Bakugo had better development than this guy. Personality and ability-wise. Bakugo went from one extreme (e.g he went from 'I gonna definitely kill you', doesn't matter if you are a civilian. his classmate or a villain) side to the other (e.g he started to think of others and use his quirk more wisely than dangerously). Izuku is just the same guy from season 1. Just more confident in his power because he began to understand his quirk. Bakugo could have been suspended many times if UA was a realistic normal school. But the teachers are pro heroes so that's 'alright'

Luffy? Lol, this guy is the same as ever. other than to power up and learn more techniques, there are barely any more changes to this guy's settings. Even Boruto makes a better character development when considering character types, personalities and the way he fights. Yh, Luffy grew stronger and that's it? Black Beard grew stronger and no one applauded him?

I dunno about Popp. I know Sakuragi goes through some changes but I have not finished watching the series so I can't say much. I have little knowledge of Vegeta and Goku so I can't anything still but I can say Vegeta has way better development than Goku ever had.
