| I like a strong protagonist that still has room for growth. |
| One that isnt stupid all the time.....even when the obvious is being pointed out and MP still dosent recognise.....pisses alot of ppl off xD |
 |
| I prefer my protagonists morally flawed. I want to see a fucked-up human being dealing with their problems, how they face it and how they connect to the world despite/with it. I find that anime has too many protagonists on the 'moral' side. Now, it's a tradition in fiction, but classic Western literature often deals with more ambiguous characters - As I Lay Dying, Catcher in the Rye, Catch-22, Portnoy's Complaint. This is missing for me in anime. |

Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| I like the type that never gives up no matter what, with a stubborn, loving, and strong personality. |
   |
| I liked Tomoya (from Clannad) most. He is actually one of the few MCs that I didn't hated, because he felt "realistic" to some point... |
| The traditional dense harem MCs are the best, don't you think? Side - note : In most cases I like the anti heroes much more than the me. Like Accelerator and Gilgamesh. Totally hate those hero of justice |
 |
| I want him/her to be likeble or, in the case that he/she is unlikeable, he/she be at least funny. I don't care about anything else. |

| The best protagonists are those that are very skilled in a certain area, but also have a fatal flaw that the antagonists in the setting capitalise on. One of the best examples I've seen for this would be Itou Kaiji. It is also good when the character has certain values that are challenged throughout the series, and they often have to make compromises for the best outcome, as this lends itself to good development. HecticLeo said: My favorite kind of protagonist you ask? It would have to be a cute girl grouped with more cute girls doing cute things. As much as I like CGDCT this is kinda weird to say, because those shows don't have a protagonist-antagonist kind of structure. |
| The sunny type of character that is light-hearted but can be serious/scary in certain situations or when things get heated. |
 |
| I generally like a protagonist that isn't a little bitch. |
 Was it the shyness in my soul that made me lonely just like you? No one noticed I was there, when I walked into the room. -Freddie Mercury |
| For Male: Multi-dimensional, Dominant, Smart and Charismatic Examples: Lelouch, Kiritsugu, Toua For Female: Beautifully designed, Cute (well that's my own definition of cuteness :P), Smart with witty unique personality. Examples: Makise, Holo That's what I like, but sometimes a favorite character comes from the other side, which is great. |
| I like MCs that don't piss me off. So far in Nanatsu no Taizai, Meliodas and Elizabeth, the two MCs, hasn't been pissing me off. Yet. |
 |
| Let's see, I would like a protagonist who was well respected, falls in love with the heroine since childhood and loved by all. Then a twist of fate changes our hero as his world is turned upside down. Now he is the center of stigma, everybody hates his guts, and the heroine can no longer meet him (but harbors deep feelings deep down, society and status quo is what stops her). And thus the hero trains and goes on an epic quest. A quest SO epic that it would put Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm to shame! That was too long, but you get the idea. |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |

| Any character that undergoes development and isn't a fucking whiny Shinji clone. |
 |
| I like characters that are willing to do everything to get what they desire the most. |

| I think there are 3 types of MC i like: -The morally ambiguous MC (you can't tell if they are good or bad and make some questionable decisions )good example is john silver from takarajima -MC with dark past (especially if they had committed a big mistake in the past and he had to deal with its consequences )the best example is himura kenshin -the underdog (I can't help but cheer for them when they succeed )best example sakuragi from slam dunk. |
 |
| For me, I like the characters that are willing to sacrifice everything dear to them -- friends, family, lovers, morals, whatever it may be -- in order to accomplish their goals, and won't stop until they either accomplish what they set out to do or died trying. Good examples being Lelouch and Kariya Matou. |
Everyone says anime is getting worse and nothing compares to the greats;  I say anime never stops getting better |
| Hmm.. to be honest I never answer this kind of question before or ask myself about that, but when I thought what the main characters from my favorite anime have in common it was easy to figure out the answer :) It seems that I love characters who are funny, pure in heart, a bit clueless at times on how the world around them work but very talented in what they are doing & characters who become OP later on through their hard work. Best examples of a male character with those traits: Son Goku - Dragon Ball Makunouchi Ippo - Hajime no Ippo Gon Freecss - Hunter X Hunter Sousuke Sagara - Full Metal Panic Best examples of a female character with those traits: Nodame - Nodame Cantabile Chihaya - Chihayafuru Those are some I could think off without doing extensive digging :) |
| I absolutely love the deadpan characters (due to their nature, not because they are completely dense) who make snarky internal comments to the stuff that happens around them. Also, contrary to a lot of other posters here, I like an already mature protagonist who helps those around them grow. |
D-ohnuts said: Edgy intellectual badasses who get all the tail, eg. Kirito and Sora. This guy has some pretty great taste |
| Realistic MCs who arent oblivious to romance. |
 |
| I don't really have a preference regarding the main character as long as he is not acting like a whinny bitch and cry every episode when something bad is happening.That type of mc pisses me off. |
| I'm ok with MOST protagonists.... except the "I'm a try-hard faggot who screams every chance I get, thinks I'm cool cuz I'm overly emotional and I've been through hell so you MUST accept my awkward, cringy-as-fuck behavior" type. |
| Kenzo Tenma is best protag, I think. The ones who question themselves a lot. Like Takao in Aku no Hana and all. I hate dense MCs. Light made a good protag (and antag)... I really hate harem protagonists. |
  WORK IN PROGRESS ~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~ I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit, Adenomata affronted. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. ❤️ Birdie ❤️ |
| I like the kind that doesnt really do nothin all episode but eat cake and play guitar |

| The tragic past one with either dark or happy future depending on his actions. |
| smart, dark, badass, morally ambiguous and good looking |
| - the clever, funny, sadistic i.e Break from Pandora Hearts or Okita Souji from Hakuouki : which means the one who think fast, know a lot and know what he wants, and more importantly has perspective about situations, and you never know wheter this character is serious or not - mostly for girls : cold-minded, cool, not a tsundere but close like a tsun but not a big or a moe dere i.e Lady Oscar, Yatori from Nejimaki : as a girl I tend to prefer character I can relate to and I just can't relate to too expressive girls => i.e I prefer Ram to Rem (but I still like Rem) (those two types are my favourites, but actually I'm not picky about characters, those two types are just the one I tend to like faster or easly) |

| The strong cool one who cares and protects |
 |
| I just like the main character(s) to have a personality or be fun to watch around. |
 |
| i like the kinda ditzy but energetic female leads, they don't have to have big boobs, but that's assuming were talking about the main character here lol |
   |
| I like amusing and energetic protagonists the most, like Kazuma in Konosuba or Gintoki in Gintama. Even better if they can turn into serious badasses when needed. |
| I love mature protagonist who could admit their mistake when they did something wrong like Ousawa Akatsuki from hagure yuusha. |
| Mushoku Tensei is the best harem light novel out there and Rudeus is my man'. . . |
I like anime character who have the guts to stand up even when fall down. |
 |
| I like intelligent/troll main characters with interesting thought processes. I prefer if they're physically weak and have to use their wits to solve problems, but I can tolerate a little physical competency. And I suppose a complete lack of strength wouldn't work for a battle MC, but it would still be nice if they're weaker than opponents and win using smarts and trickery. They need to have no problem breaking the rules for the greater good. Steadfast morals are no good if they get everyone killed. As far as romance MCs are concerned, they have to have some common sense. Call out undesirable behavior (tsunderes), not be a generic pervert, and generally be a chill guy. I don't care that much if they're "dense", it's not their job to pick up hints. So long as they can recognize someone telling them something directly. Some examples of main characters I like are Yamato from Majikoi, Yuuji from Grisaia and Nagisa from Ass Class. |
| Level-headed protagonists. Ones with megane are a plus in my book. |
 I'm Mei i love bunnies 2 death and pixels  |
| - having sense of humor, and like to troll others. e.g : koro sensei, gintoki - doing little act, but profitable. e.g : tanaka, oreki, handa sei - cool appearance, and coolest act. e.g : sakamoto |
