| Characters will always be my first priority |

| imo, a great story plus awesome characters is what makes a great anime |
| Except for some it mostly depends on the genre for me. story: Sci-Fi, Space, Horror, Thriller, Mystery characters: SoL, Mahou Shoujo, Romance, Comedy, Adventure Others are mostly a combination of both. In the end both of them are about equal for me. |
   |
| Same here, I like plot better. The more structured and the more intrictate the better. I like good characters, but I couldn't care less about character development and whatnot, I like characters who stay the same during the whole course of the series and their personalities and everything are established from the start. |
| I'd say characters but... something traumatic happened to me. So I prefer both. If either of them is shit, my view for that anime will easily go downhill. |
 |
| I like both good characters AND a good storyline. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| I would say both but I'm more into characters because having badly created ones will in-turn also make the story bad. Detective1412 said: The story... of course. That's why most of "old" anime was Masterpiece. Seem like you've been enlightened as well. |
 |
| I'd say it depends, especially on series with sequel that character design might change and that'd probably might affect me. I mean, WuG Shin Shou is just ohh boy that bad, but I got used to it... |
| Characters all the way. All the fancy plot dressings mean nothing if the audience doesn't care about the characters, while even the most mundane things can be made interesting if you care about the characters. |
  |
| I don´t know, who do you love more, dad or mom? |
| :v |
| That’s like asking “pie or pie filling”. Characters and characterization is encompassed by “the story”. I’m assuming you meant “plot or characters”, to which I would answer “characters”. Both are important though. |
| both are important but more so depends on what genres the anime is if it's a SOL then characters are the most important. If it's a something like https://myanimelist.net/anime/13125/Shinsekai_yori?q=shinsekai%20yori then story is far more important |

| Both a story can't exist without a charcter. And a character can't be great withoyt a good story. |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| I prefer characters, I could go through a shitty story if the characters are good and interesting/ have good develpment but I couldn't go through a good story if the characters are annoyting as heck |
| Characters with at least not too shabby story. It always intrigue me to see how those characters make their decisions through out the series. |
 |
| I mean, it's hard to care about the story if the characters are bad so they kinda go together. Even so, I've enjoyed some shows with average/bland characters but I don't think I've ever enjoyed a show with good characters and a bad story. |
 |
| Definitly characters for me, if you got a charming cast i'll be satified |
| SUPER CUTIE SUPER STAR |
| For me personally, I feel like an anime has to have enjoyable characters for me to get into a series, no matter how amazing the plot is. If I do not care about the characters, then I am not going to care about the plot. |
         |
| There really needs to be both. We can have a good story and bad characters makes for a bad anime, also good characters and a bad story also makes for a bad anime. However, I really need to have good characters in my anime. I will start an anime and right off will recognized if the anime has good characters that i like or not. |

| Both complement each other, I find it hard to like shows with bad stories and good characters as much as I do shows with bad characters and good stories. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| Characters I guess. If the story is bad, the character might still make us love the show. If the character is bad and the story is good, there's really no reason to watching it. Just my opinion haha |
“You might be able to do it if you try. But if you don’t try, you definitely can’t” |
| Characters. An awesome character can save a shitty story, but an awesome story can't carry a shitty character. |
| Imma ggo with story since its the most important |
