Like pretty much everyone else, I have replaced a lot of them because I came to like others more.

The only character I actually deleted from my list was Kirito. The first time I watched SAO, I thought he was quite a badass and put him in my favorites. Then I realised that's all he was.

Yes, Natsu and Naruto. Time passes and I'm less and less related to them.

Yes, very recently deleted all of them except one. The more anime I watch the more I realize that all my favorite characters are temporary and I forget about them once I finish the anime/manga.

I mean, sure, I could have a top twenty, but ten is good enough and I have figures of my top five.

That said, I do add and replace characters when I'm in the mood for it. But, the top five will always be my top five, but I'll move them around within that sub-list based on my mood.

I have lots of favourite character and found a lot of new ones after discovering some gems. All of 'em cannot fit to my 10-slot vertical favorites because MAL suggests me to pay them to make the slot doubled. Replacing some is always an option. It's the equivalent exchange y'know.

Everytime. Anything. Not fed up, just replacing them.
Yep, because when watching new anime(s), new favourite will show up.

Yes. After watching LoTGH, I knew Reinhard would be a favorite and someone else had to go.

Sometimes I do that because I've lost all my interest on them. The slots for favourite characters are limited, too.

Ten posistions for favorite characters it's a crime against the heart :((

Except for the two heroes, the rest are in their place. No need to clean. If reduce, then until three, leaving the most heartfelt.

Yes. Well, its because sometimes a new character comes around and is just better than one of my other favourite characters.

I removed Asuka from Evangelion to replace her for Yukinoshita. Why? Less of a c-word, more of a perfect princess that I can relate to on a spiritual level. My ego is of the size of the world just like hers. And a lot of people feel intimitaded by my presence and therefore I have very little friends. But they mean a lot to me and as long as you're not annoying or unworthy of my presence I will treat you really nicies.

As one watches more of the shows he experiences many differing characters and with it a possibility for a change is born.

I just switch some of the characters out here and there. I also decided that the last two places are for characters I currently or lately liked in anime I watch(ed) or manga I read. Currently I like from those Fenneko from Aggretsuko and Haru from Beastars.

I deleted Ichinose Kotomi because even though I could really relate to her there eventually came other characters that I liked more. Shiina Mayuri was deleted because I just didn't like her as much in retrospect as I did when I first watched Steins;Gate.

Deleted from that MAL list? ya.. not because I stopped liking them but because I found some other character I liked and MAL allows for such limited number of favorites :p

I'm going to replace a couple of them again, after I complete reading a manga.. but I can never erase them from my heart.. lol

My favorites bar evolves as I watch more anime and find new favorites... There are some that will stay forever and there are some that will cycle as I discover new characters. Nothing "personal" to the ones that got deleted... there just isn't enough room.

Yes, simply because I try to go with the 1 character per series rule and I have a few characters who are in the same show who I can't decide which is better out of.
If you're reading this and you haven't watched Mob Psycho 100, go watch it and then continue with what you were doing.



Also, for the record, JoJo is great, it's fans are not.

Yes because there were too many. I feel like if I have more than five favorites in any list, the list doesn't really make sense anymore. So I had to replace characters all the time when I watched new shows... :P

If I watch an anime and think about putting character from it on to my favorites list, then I just compare that new character to my current least-favorite favorite character. I then decide which of the two I like more. If the one on my list is liked less, they get the boot and are replaced with the new character.

My reason is, the limit is only 10 character. So, I chose which character is more better than I've added.

Like almost everyone else, I simply watch more shows and find new favorites. There's nothing wrong with the characters themselves. I try to avoid having too many characters from the same series, though.

I also noticed that, compared to other people's lists, mine is currently lacking in females. I just can't remember any that was particularly memorable, moreso than the male cast. Women tend to be overshadowed in most of the anime I've seen.

Yes, many times before, and I will continue to do so in the coming future.

The Reasons:
- Maximum Limit of 10 Favorite Characters
- Certain new characters are more "favorable" than the ones before.
- Certain new characters' personality are closer to my personal criteria than the ones before.

Like a lot of people, I'm just replacing them. I don't have that many favorites compared to some people, but I have more than ten, consequently I have to make choices (which is why I decided to make an extended list). Some characters have been removed for my top 10 simply because I came across characters I came to love more, or because I realized I actually preferred a character in my extended over one in the top 10.
It also happened a few times that I realized I didn't like a certain character as much as I used to due to my tastes having evolved and my criterias consequently having changed a bit.
It doesn't mean I now dislike this character, I simply don't like them enough to consider them a favorite.
It's pretty rare for me to come to dislike a character I used to love, if they start doing bad things I can still totally like them if the writing makes sense, I'm just not gonna like them for the same reasons as before, and if the writer starts doing nonsense well I'll just focus on the version of the character I came to love (this situation never really happened in anime though, mostly movies that received useless, bad sequels).

Yes, I only have one precious character that I will never remove from my favorites but unfortunately the rest are removeable. But that doesn't mean I don't like them anymore, it's just that I find other characters who I somehow like more than them.

I've sadly had to replace a favourite character due to limitations. Not because I didn't like them anymore but because I started to favour a different character more.

All the time. I usually add characters on impulse, so when there's another character I want to add, I delete characters I don't need so I can make more room

All the time the only character that's stayed since the beginning is Izaya, but I got rid of them because I didn't think about them or didn't relate to them anymore, I still like them but if I don't think about a character or relate to one I don't leave it there

Of course I replace characters. As I watch new anime, current favorite characters can be replaced by new ones I just like better.

Plus, I can only post 10 favorites here, there's many more. It's not like they are deleted out of existence (?

Never deleted and never will, I love Lelouch, Handa, Homura as they are my all time favorite characters and I already seen pretty much every good anime. Rei and Kiki are more questionable but still wont delete.

Of course. Not because the character is bad. Mainly the reason is that I come across a better character. Of course if I like a character more than a certain character I have on my list I will change it.

Every.Single.Time.

My favorite characters fluctuate ever so often that the 10 limit in MAL isn't nearly enough.
