| I'm starting to feel this way about Pandora Hearts.Nice cast with unique designs and interesting personalities. |
 |
| I would say Clannad (After Story),Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and hm Ef ~ a tale of memories/melodies. also, Steins Gate. |

| The Animes with the most characters I like are Gintama, One Piece and Fairy Tail... |
| Bleach, just one of them. Kurosaki Ichigo. How Ichigo acts like a good hearted punk in the beginning is pretty realistic, since most people who lost their moms get violent, but his family was there so he didn't turn into a bad guy. Ichigo always had a void in his heart by not having the power to protect. Rukia changed his life, his world, he got the power to protect he always desired. When he lost the power the void was back, and when he got the power again, the void was filled once again. But he doesn't take it for granted, even if someone else can handle the situation, he still wants to handle it himself, he knows it's selfish and prideful but that's who he is. |

Ichigo and Ishida are the only likeable main characters in Bleach. |
| Monogatari series - Really good cast of characters with individual quirks and traits that are not mere cliches Mawaru Penguindrum - Nigh every character was developed and dealt with, one way or another. Even supporting characters, and specially the main characters. Princess Tutu - Particularly the 4 main cast of characters, probably the best character development and depth I've seen from the main cast as a whole, with each and every character having their own convictions, traits, troubles, and changes in the story. |
 |
| Of course Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, only series where you can root for both protagonists and antagonists. |
| Shokugeki no Souma without a single doubt. Every single character is good ! It has lots of characters too ! It's amazing how it has so much characters and all of them are good. You don't see that in Fairy Tail where 3/4 of the main cast is shit. As others have mentionned, Gintama and FMAB. Fate/Zero had amazing characters, Fate/Stay Night too but no as much, Shirou was just straight up dumb. |

| the monogatari series by quite a way hxh easily wins for shounen |
| Clannad and Sailor Moon series are probably one of not many anime where I actually enjoyed and loved almost everyone from the main cast. In SM case it'd be any season without Chibiusa at least. Ahh, Kanon and Angel Beats! are similar case. Heroines arer super cute and male characters are just damn awesome. Key usually makes all of the main characters loveable, so no wonder about that... |
  |
| I like Haganai the best, they had a lot of funny characters like Maria, Kobato and Rikka. Sister Princess- also, I just loved those girls. |
| Out of what I have seen I would say Log Horizon has a really great cast of characters. Lots of them with lots of variety. |
| "How can we go on a quest to regenerate the world if we can’t even save the people standing right in front of us?!" -Lloyd Irving, Tales of Symphonia |
| Ghost Stories, obviously. A pervert, a Jew, an Evangelical, a complete bitch, a retard, and a talking cat? How could it possibly be better? |
| Anyone who doesn't hate anime hasn't watched enough anime. - Anonymous |
| Hunter x Hunter and not even close. Killua and Narrator are my all time favorites. |
 |

| I just thought this would be a good topic. I see so many anime with one or a few characters that are cool as hell, but the rest are bland, and as they are only there for small purposes. I want you guys to decide which anime has the best cast, where they all have a purpose and a personality, and develop as characters when the story calls for it, and the smaller characters don't feel wooden or dumb. Of all the anime I've seen, I have to say that Durarara!!! has the best characters. They are all like able, or perhaps dislike able depending on your perspective, and have clear emotions, personalities and motives. You can just really see the life and emotions in every character in Durarara, even if those characters lack emotions for the purpose of the show and their character, it's done in a way that gives them even more depth. |
| "Cast building anime" like Love Live!, Nanatsu no Taizai, and Aikatsu! tend to have interesting characters as we're introduced to each one individually and they develop them more than with other anime. Longer anime with small casts like Fullmetal Alchemist and Cardcaptor Sakura also have great characters as they have some proper time to develop them. |
  |
| JoJo has an amazing cast with alot of characters that have a purpose in the story and fate/zero aswell,i didn't even know kiritsugu was the main character until like season 2. |
lotgh because so many characters have such deep personalities. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/LegendOfGalacticHeroes No character is there for no reason. |
| Brace yourself. Soon as LotGH 2017 comes out. The anime community is going to become so cancerous you will need to take cover and hide. |
| Its not an anime, but it does what you describe very well. Kokou no Hito, it pretty mush follows the life of one guy and all the people he met and interacted with. Quite honestly I don't think even one character was useless. |
| Shirobako has the best characters. Even side characters are fleshed out. Fuck anybody who disagrees. |
Noxious_ said: I havent watced this show but that pic makes it look intersting.lotgh because so many characters have such deep personalities. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/LegendOfGalacticHeroes No character is there for no reason. do the ENTJ or the INTJ guys win? apparently I have an affinity to be one of those 2 types..... although such chars are mostly portrayed as villians |
| It's Maria-sama ga Miteru (MariMite) for me. Besides the featured pair, all the supporting characters get arcs devoted to them and most of the characters change/develop over the four season length. Loved the character designs and I wouldn't change the voice acting one iota. Facial expressions are the best I've seen of any anime so far. A few others: (it also illustrates the esteem to which I hold of MariMite to see some of the shows I had to consider): LotGH -- A huge, varied cast that HAS to be on anybody's short list. Refreshing character designs (geez: REAL noses and lips for a change). So Ra No Wo To -- A perfect blend of characters and I especially liked the relationship between Kanata and Rio. The main cast was like a surrogate family and each member had troubling backstories that were revealed over the course of the show. Revolutionary Girl Utena -- Utena's character changes plus a great set of supporting characters. Toradora -- The core five mc's are another perfect blend: Taiga and Ryuuji contrasting personalities and perfect voice acting by Rie Kugimiya and Junji Majima. Girls und Panzer -- I really like large varied casts that tick off all the trope boxes not to mention they are all so cute as to make your heart melt. Some of the antagonist girls are so comically over-the-top stereotypes that I have a permanent smile whenever I re-watch this (and its been 8 times already and it never gets old). The movie ramps it up even more. Suzumiya Haruhi series -- Another balanced cast with great voice acting. Also great supporting characters. Iconic characters in Yuki Nagato and Haruhi herself. The movie especially developed Kyon and Yuki to perfection. Nodame Cantabile -- Nodame and Chiaki's changes over time; large, humorous supporting cast. Monogatari series -- Some of the best character designs thanks to Shaft and a fun, varied set: Shinobu, Hachikuji, Kanbara and more. Best harem ever. Cowboy Bebop -- Another perfect blend of personalities and great voice acting. |

| I really like characters in Darker than Black. Episodic ones and side characters for me were as interesting as the mains. |
| I'm just gonna put it out there: Mars of Destruction But honestly, I would have to give it to Full Metal Alchemist, Gintama, Steins;Gate or Durarara!!, all of which are very high up in the top anime list. I also personally think that Robotic;Notes is underrated. |

| Sacrificing sleep and sanity for more anime-induced dopamine. |
| hisoka, chrollo, meruem, gon, killua, kurapika, |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| Love Live!, because all the characters is very cute in design and personality, moreover evryone of the girls receive a good personal development during the series. Also, when I think at good characters, the Monogatari Series come fast at my mind, I don't know very good the why, but I like every character from this show. |
| Full Metal Alchemist, Steins;Gate, One Piece, Fate/zero and perhaps more :3 One Piece has many great characters with all unique traits and powers where a lot of characters can have a proper role on the saga and maybe return to another one when you least expect it :3 Where FMAB, Steins;Gate and Fate/zero all have very build characters that's all have a purpose for the plot :3 |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Clannad & Clannad ~AS~ Very different characters, with all different struggles and history. They all got a very deep back story, etc... And you are emotionally bond with them.... (Sry, bad English) |
| Fuck Clannad everyone in that anime looks like messed up aliens. |
| LoGH is above all. Runner-up is Gintama. |
 |
| Kuroko no basuke. Almost every character have a purpose and most of them are likeable. I would probably add them all to my fav character list. |
 |
Well from what I've seen.
|
| Gintama has the best characters as they all have some running gag about them and are given development. |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
| Gintama has the best characters ever.. then i ll put durarara and fairy tail |
| Too many to choose from, but all those mainstream anime have epic characters, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece etc..but overall i like Psycho Pass also. Villains are just epic, you're gonna love them, and MC is very lovable which makes this anime a perfect for someone who likes character development. :3 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Almost no one is mentionning the likes of SAO,DBZ, Naruto, TG and etc? Good! Gintama has the best one from what I have seen. |
| Hunter X Hunter, because there is a large cast and they are somehow all unique and varied and have great interactions together. |
