Most of my favorite characters are tsundere, but I admire them for being strong and independent.

They're all male, they all can fight in some way and all have dark hair colours. Also they all are kinda the mysterious, dark type and are hot/cute or both at least to me.

Let's run through them, shall we?

An empathetic wanderer
A bloodthirsty and troubled yet somehow sweet girl
A veritable demi-god of death, surrounded by philosophy
The sensei of despair
A sentient AI
A sadistic information dealer with a God-complex
A combat robot with a very advanced yet childish AI
An insanely strong man with anger issues who hate violence
A mysterious girl who goes against all logic, reason, and physics... and wins
A man so manly he can kill you just by playing poker

Not a strong trend in there, but most have something to do with death and/or suffering. That, though, is just because of the kind of anime I like to watch -- drama.

Hinagiku and Misaka are fairly similar...You can toss Eri Sawachika in there too but I removed her.

No other character is similar.

All of my favorite characters have a friendly side and a sense of justice to them. Yes, you could say that my taste is pretty boring.

Several of the characters at the top of my favorites list are also shounen-type characters(?) with a stubborn attitude one way or another, though Kaitou and Heiji are there only because they share similar traits with Kudo. :P

I have a soft spot for characters that can really make me laugh. Like, really laugh, as in r o f l. Probably because one of my beefs with American tv, and culture really, is that I just simply don't find it humorous. But when I started watching anime not too long ago, man was it downhill from there. Never laughed as much in my life. And Usui and Takagi are on my list because they're just badass.

that's why when I try to find someone who has the same taste in anime as me I check their favorite characters instead of the anime list


I agree so much with this. The characters you like/ relate to can say a lot about who you are.

Pretty much all of my favorite characters are main characters. Not that I don't like side characters, but I really like main characters because you get to see them develop, which is something I've always enjoyed to see.

Also, a lot of my faves are headstrong and determined folks who have clear goals. I guess it's because I sometimes struggle with my own goals that it's refreshing to see characters know what they want and pull out everything they have in order to get it... be it Sailor Moon's connection with her friends and saving the world, Shinichi's determination to stop criminals, Kid's goal to target the Pandora gem, Satoshi's goal to catch 'em all, Ranma to be a man again and training to run the Tendo Dojo, Asuka Jr's goal to catch Saint Tail, Miyu's goal to be happy with Yamato-kun, and Honey's goal to stop Panther Claw and connect with humans.

Also, a lot of the characters I like do really stupid things sometimes, or are just plain crazy, but insanely lovable.

A half of my characters are a bit on the insane side. A fourth of them are sort of the stupid heroes. And that's about it...

...I suppose I like insane characters?

I find that my least favourite characters are similar. It's easier for me to narrow down who I don't like, rather than who I like.

Yeah, they do seem a bit similar. They're all either singularly smiley or emotionless on the surface and most of them have at least one screw loose.

They're even more similar if you divide them into 3 groups.

some time ago i realized all my favorite chars are similar so i decided to check it up, it was then when i learned the meaning of tsundere and realized im into them cause like 8 out 10 were tsunderes

anyway now my fav chars are mixed, i also put extended favorite characters cause 10 is too few and theres a nice mixture in there as well, but i guess i could separate them into 2-3 groups of personalities, more like red orange yellow and not black and white
lots of music -

Wow I've thought about this for a very long time. Most of my top characters have the same personality. Eureka, Rei Ayanami, Mai Kawasumi, Mio Akiyama, and Nagisa Furukawa. I guess those are the types of personalities I'm attracted to.

'Course not, my top 10 just has:

2 mysterious shop keepers who enjoy teasing people
3 hyperactive characters (2 of which are female)
3 hopelessly cheerful females (+ 1 guy)
2 guys who you'd think were girls if they didn't tell you otherwise, both of which have amazing, color-changing hair
2 guys with heterochromia
5 people associated with animals
2 girls who are actually animals
2-3 manipulative characters (some sinister, some not)
7-9 characters who act as comedy relief
Multiple characters who get fed-up easily
3 who support a certain character despite this


I don't know how you'd think otherwise... (and that's without going into my extended favourites)

Only one dead-pan snarker, though. Hmm, thought I liked that trope more than that.

Well not really but if you look at them in the right way then I guess you could say they are.

They are either extremely happy go lucky kind of characters with a lot of emotion (i.e issac and miria, hatsune, kirino and to a lesser extent, Kyouko and Ashton). Or blunt, and straight faced (possibly cynical), being Kyon, Akira, and Ren. Harima is the odd ball, but meh.

Also, they're all comic relief for the most part

Well... I can atleast say that I can see some similarits between my characters.

4 of them are kinda insane.
2 of them are treated as comic reliefs.
2 of them got inhuman strenght.
2 of them are the antagonists.
3 of them are a strong female protagonist.

The only thing I can see as any sort of common connecting link between my favorite characters is that they don't talk much.
On the other hand, though I don't do it intentionally, I tend to strongly dislike loud-mouthed bratty characters...
