I actually deleted this post to post it again on the current page because I really want people to know the reasons behind my favorite characters.

Charlotte because:

She's American, and so am I.
Her seiyuu has the same constellation as me in a few planets on her birth chart.
I like this doujin with her boxing: https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=15357966

Minna because:

I have her kindhearted nature.
I like this comic with her boxing: (Not Safe For Work)


Musubi because:

I like her attitude.
She's a martial artist.
Tits.

Elsa because:

I've long had an affinity for vampires, which she is.
She's also the same age as me.
She has the same seiyuu as Tomoe from Queen's Blade.
Tits as well.

Shizuka because:

Her seiyuu is orgasmic.
Attitude.
Nice ass.
Tits.
(The topless figure on my dresser in a thong with her ass to the camera in my profile is her.)

Nanael because:

I'm a Kamidere like her.
She wants a harem of men from Earth. (She's an Angel.)

Erza because:

One of my friends used to have her as her forum set.
I like popular characters that are regarded as sluts.

Minato because:

Incest. (In the visual novel. It's left ambiguous in the anime, but still probably incest.)
Nice body in general.

Tsukasa because:

Nice ass in a thong in the OVA.
Same seiyuu as Natsuru in Kämpfer, a character I identify with.

Roko because:

Attitude.
Looks sexy in the first costume she wears.
Same seiyuu as Ram in Re:Zero.

@Zeando you should stop saying whoever is on top of the list is the users favourite among favourite
if they say all their favourites are equal the order is irrelevant and holds no value

Right, but only one character can be the first of the list. Yours is Selesia Upitiria.

It isn't about liking only one character, it's about chosing the first and best one among all the liked characters. That is what a favorite character is.

Ok but isn't right to have 2 or more favorite characters? I understand that you need to choose your character but I say that there are people who have 2 or more favorite characters because there are moment when people are to indecisive and stick with 2 characters.

I support the notion of a top three, because if filling out a top ten list takes you more than five minutes, then you're just adding filler.

It's more a matter of communication, the "favorite" some use doesn't have the same meaning as the "favorite" others use.

For some favorite is = liked, bookmarked.
For others favorite is = the most liked character of all.

If some have all equal, it just means they have no favorite by the second definition.

Highlighting the first of everyones lists is just applying the second definition, which is the same definition OP seems to be used. Meaning who's replying by using the first definition is missing the point.
Basically it's a provocation or poke, to remind that there is an other definition of favorite, which isn't just "liked".

I don't really want to hear "Oh but there are sooo many anime and thus we need 10 or 20 fucking favorite characters!"

NO...one is enough.

MOST of us have that ONE character we absolutely like....whatever the reason, that ONE character will ALWAYS be on your list.

Therefore, logically....we don't need 10 or 20...just one.

IT SHOULD BE TWO.

Never.
Every character I have in my extended favs + favs on profile are equally important to me.
It would be impossible for me to pick one.

When I was new to anime and I've seen madoka, Homura was my first favorite character but then I've seen more anime and some of these turned out to be really great.
Some of these had in them characters that were relatable to me, characters that left some impact or impression on me and of course waifus.

I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.

This. Very much this.

Personally, I use my "favorites" lists as top-ten lists. It's a ranking system. Even if I didn't and chose to have ten characters tied for my "favorite" position, it'd be nobody else's dang business (unless the MAL tech team found that having 10 favorite characters caused the system to melt down somehow.)

Take your hypocritical "everyone else needs to conform to my views" mentality elsewhere, OP.
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

I don't really see the point in that actually cause some people might have more than one who always will stay on their list while the others switch out over time based on preferences.

I do think 20 is a bit too much for anime characters that what I would use my about me for.

Just one would be fine but you can't 'judge' those who truly have more than one over all the years they've seen and read a lot of series. Less than 10 totally. But not only one for those who turly could have a few more over their otaku years. 3 would be fine thing to pick in my opinion.

Oh no, you can't be serious. Just one isn't enough and I don't organize my favorite characters by best to least, I organize them alphabetically, cause there's no #1 or #10, they're all equal for me.

Why 1? People can have multiple favorite characters.
I mean should we then also restrict anime, manga and people also to 1?
i think its fine

@swagernator: HAHAHAHA, goddammit Swaggert, that was funny. MAL is gonna turn into a company like EA Games XD XD. You say some crazy shit sometimes lmfao


Characters you can put in favorites will come randomly in $5 lootboxes you buy and you have to buy many lootboxes until you find the characters you actually want to put.
Each character slot will be $15 for a total number of 100. You have to buy a slot and then open lootboxes to get characters to put in that slot.
Then you can buy different pics as cosmetic for depicting you favorite character in your list for $3.

That's just your own opinion.
People can have more than 1 fav characters.

Picking the first one is arbitrary (yours is Alucard btw), as already said before, it's more of a logical example.
In a list there can only be one first place.

But if some say they don't have a most favorite above all, that's just it. They don't have one.
So into a ranking of most favorites they won't be counted, or their vote will be random (whoever for random reasons is into the first place) (sorting by alphabetical order, or rainbow palette, anything which isn't by preference = random reasons)
(the ranking of most favorites is hypothetical, it doesn't exist currently on mal)


It's the same as political elections, you can vote for only one party or person, if you say all the parties or candidates are the same, either you vote for someone random or you don't vote. But your vote will still be only one.
That's how having a most favorite works. Which is different from using favorites as likes or bookmarks, it's just a different concept.

(I'm actually doing the devil's advocate here, but it's funny to think about how a different characters ranking could be designed)

Your suggestion is ridiculous. You give no justification as to why this limit should be implemented and there's literally no reason to do so especially since what you want (having one favorite character) can be done without this change, it's not like having 10 favorites is mandatory.

To be honest this suggestion is stupid but at the same time Alex is making sense(Although most of what he said is kinda BS).

If I'm going to cooperate on this suggestion, like someone said, why not make it 2? One for male character and the other for female character?

That is where you are damn wrong boii... I tried to arrange my fav list in alphabetical order.... This pretty much shows that your logic of choosing someone's fav character is absurd.. BTW i like Gid Deviluke more than Alucard :P

Well everyone's not as selective as you to have a specific fav character... Why?? because after watching alot of animes you come to like different characters for their different personalities.... Not everyone cares who's first in the Fav Characters... so reducing the list just to 1 to see who's first is stupid because even if it is reduced most people would still not agree with those rankings so forget about it... Whether you reduce the list to 1 or 10 or 15 the result would hardly change (in simple words your fav characters don't have a chance :P)

Logically limit doesn't matter, if someone wants to show his 1 fav he can add 1, if someone wants show 15 of them, go ahead.

No, I have so many favorite characters that I would need at least 25 to list them all!
I just cannot pick only one favorite character, it would be an INJUSTICE to the other characters!
Oh, by the way ALEX, how could you pick Momo as your favorite and just ignore her sweet sister Lala Deviluke, and that cute little green haired plant girl, and those tasty marshmallows of Mikan's cute little ass? Also < don't see anybody listing Steins;gate as a favorite series and ingnoring Miyuri as a fave character...TOTOOROO!
You should expand your favorites list...an otaku can't live by just Momo Deviluke alone!

Bad idea.

Having one, ten or more favorite characters does not make more or less challenging processing 'most favorite character' or 'top n characters' statistics.

Having ten favorite characters respects people's choices, considering someone can like more than one character enough to consider them favorites.

About people who change favorite characters every season, is the resulting processing load a performance issue for the MyAnimeList Web site?

You make no sense. If you want to highlight that so-loved character of yours then only put that one character in your favorites. If you don't want to use the rest 9 slots it's up to you.

I agree with reducing the numbers down but having only one might be too limited. I'd personally go with 3 or 5.
