| Other, Takumi Fujiwara from Initial D is by far the best Anime protagonist for me, he's a god behind the wheel of a car, once you're pitted in a race against him you know you're totally screwed. |

| From the poll, I would have to say lelouch but personally don't have a favorite anime protagonist. There's too many that I like to just pick one. |
Erebus_Akeldama said: if anything Eren won't pass Lelouch given the response from the manga readers By "Greatest", I mean by popularity and by quality. Currently, I think Lelouch is the greatest, but Eren may pass him. I'm not sure, I haven't read the manga. (I totally also forgot about Goku, Spike and Gon, they're pretty good as well) |
Erebus_Akeldama said: ManWild said: Gintoki is quite easily the best for me and my favorite as well Ok, from what I've heard from Gintama, it's arguably one of the most loved anime out there. How many episodes are there in total, cause I may watch it during the summer. It's like 300-400 so it's definitely super long but it's worth it. It might have a slow start but once it picks up, It's a special series and I would recommend it |

| From the poll I'd choose Mob, the progression of his character was pretty inspiring. My personal favourites though are Guts and Shirou Emiya. |
| 1. Kamijou Touma 2. Misaka Mikoto 3. Araragi Koyomi. |
| Picked Light from the poll but I'd mention a few more which for me are best male protagonits: Tomoya Okazaki (Clannad) Romio Inuzuka (Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet) Ryuuji Takasu (Toradora) |

Kalyteros said: Lelouch I think Lelouch had more memorable moments than Light. Light was consistently well done, but fell off due to him sorta becoming more of an antagonist and how I think Death Note 26-37 were not the best. Lelouch had spectacular moment and was still consistently great throughout the series Though Light is smarter, I don't think Light had as many big moments like Lelouch did Facts. Light and Lelouch are always compared but if you compared the ending of Death Note and Code Geass together, then Code Geass would win. And I guess Lelouch did better things for the world than Light did in the end. In the end, Light just wanted to be a god. |

| Kirito - Sword Art Online (my vote). |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Oh god not Lelouch again. Fucking hell I swear I'd much rather seeing Kirito on top. Also where is HxH? I thought that show is popular enough to be named here. I picked Gintoki, he's the best out of everyone on the list. And almost every character on this poll is a bad character. Shame they're so popular. |
| . . . |
| I used to love Eren, but he was ruined at the end I would say the greates from anime are probably Himura Kenshin and Spike Spiegel But in mi opinion, the best protagonist ever is from a manga and it's Johnny Joestar from Steel Ball Run |
| Gintoki, Kaiji and since I just started Berserk I'll definitely put Guts in the conversation |
| if its going by main characters in a show (that arent antagonists), then I would choose Xerxes Break, if not, then idrk |
| signature under construction lol |
