| the sweet shy ones and the emotionally damaged "i'm a wreck" ones who turn out to be a lot stronger than they think. |
| cool |
| Kids that not take something seriously (ex: Naru) |
 |
| Old fashioned protagonists, like: Ryo Saeba (City Hunter) Vash (Trigun) Kintaro (Golden Boy) Onizuka (GTO) The trait d'union is probably: Characters with peaks of geniality and a strong sense of justice, usually concealed by some kind of fatal flaw, who reveals themselves badass when the situation requires it, and that are also comic reliefs. |
If you're talking cookie cutter type characters, there's only really one type I'd like to see more of, and that is the deadpan slightly retarded girl with accidental potty-mouth syndrome. Without Ana, OniAi would be completely worthless instead of just a little worthless. |

Feaor said: PoeticJustice said: How is Bokurano btw?Self-aware characters or characters I can identify with. it is so good, but depressing asf. A lot of that existential crisis stuff I know u love. |
| Badass characters that don't necessarily try to show their true strength, and at first seem devoid of emotion due to their depressing past, however, they are very clever and DO actually care for everyone. |
 |
| Funny and badass. |
| my fav character are usually antagonist, a character who no one know how stronger he is, who don't give a shit about all, and troll a bit. 1 word: Hisoka :d (doflamingo too) |
| I will automatically like a character more if they have an eyepatch. It can be a medical one or a pirate one, I don't care, it's just always better with an eyepatch. Personality wise, I like tsunderes and overly bombastic/eccentric characters that have a large presence. I also tend to like really flawed/bratty characters cause those seem to provide the best development. |

| If I have to choose a personality that's the most fun to develop, it's the obsessed/neurotic type. The best examples are from cinema - Ed Wood and Max Cohen (pi). Characters with a goal they're obsessed with, the highs and lows this leads them to - it can be a fun way to explore various worldviews. |

| Curious is the case of man. He runs towards the world he can never catch, and runs away from death he can never escape. |
| Character must be a loli, that's the only requirement for me |
| Characters like Kumagawa from Medaka box or Komeada from Daganronpa 2. But they're rare af. |
"Hi!" |
| The kind of characters who actually used their brain, and doesn't behaves like a pathetic wimp. |
Your taste in Anime is shit. Because you can't differentiate between what's good and bad. How sad. |

| As for main characters, I like strong or brave, independent characters, especially when it comes to female characters (e.g. Yona from Akatsuki no Yona; Koto from Kyousou Giga; Hiyori from Noragami; Morgiana from Magi; Erza from Fairy Tail). For male characters I think I like your typical shounen main the most, like the ones who are usually carefree and funny, but when it comes to their friends or morals they can go totally berserk (e.g. Luffy from One Piece; Natsu from Fairy Tail) Just not all those useless "too cutesy", crybaby-type girls or guys (e.g. Nai from Karneval, Ciel from Black Butler; Armin from Attack on Titan) or characters that are just too nice and moe to stand (e.g. Latifa from Amagi Brilliant Park, Chitanda from Hyouka). |
 |
| Tsunderes Not the ones like Louise, but the ones like Makise Kurisu from Steins gate. |
| I'll jump too quick in conclusions if I say the opponents-bestiary because, most of time, I find them more interestings, have a better charac-design, I have more empathy-pity for them or I find them less annoying (even for ones we see them for minutes) than most of protagonists.... (That usually happens in Fantasy genre like Dai No Daiboken or God Eater...) But anyway, I'll say the Gentle Giant, the Mighty Glacier, the Beastman, the Barbarian Hero at first... After, It depens of many things... |
| I don't care what people say, I still love tsunderes. They make good fanfiction material ahahahahahahahaha Also, I love any character who I can make gay in my delusional yaoi-filled mind. |

| The "main character" type, whichever that might be. |
| For both male and female characters, usually the badass (Galatea, Izumi Curtis, Teresa) ones. For males: plus points if they're clever (Edogawa Conan, Hattori Heiji, Kougami Shinya), a good cook (Aragaki Shinjiro & Kagami Taiga), red-headed (Kagami Taiga & Hisoka), funny, has a slightly dark skin (Heiji & Aomine), and has a deep, brotherly relationship with one of the characters (Natsume & Tanuma, Conan & Heiji, Ed & Al). For females: plus points if they have quite a large chest (Valmet), intelligent (Naoto), adorable [i](Aigis & Celty), and a well-developed character (Aigis). |

| I don't really care nowadays just as long as they're well written |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |

Strong and brave and independent characters (both good and bad) should go away. They don't create conflict, add to it or develop - being strong just solves it. It works in action films but for something that takes a few hours out of life, I demand a little more. |

| My favorite characters are the Beverly Hillbilly type out of place characters, mostly those who come to the "human" world and try to adjust to life, often times too well. Those characters can be quite funny, like Squid Girl, for instance. |
| Females: Shy/innocent Males: Can't really choose one |
| For guys it would be smart and cunning, also if he wears glasses, that's a plus. For girls, it would be ones who are independent and mature. |
 |
| Hisoka. and hm...that's all. |
 |
| In any form of media, my favorite character is an asshole protagonist. A character in the main lead acting like a dick amuses me for some reason, and these types of characters make me laugh the hardest. |
