| What are your favourite character developments from any anime or manga? And how did they develop? One of my personal favourites is Simon from Gurren Lagann. He starts out like any other wimpish and shy 14 year old (see Shinji Ikari from Evangelion or Renton Thurston from Eureka 7), and after So what developments shine out to you? |

| My favorites would have to include: Kimi no Iru Machi, The World God Only Knows, Onanie Master Kurosawa, and Akame ga Kill... They just did so much for me in terms of developing the characters realistically. Also, the characters don't stay the same age for about a millennium and a half like in most manga/anime. |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |
| Erin from Kemono no Souja Erin Never seen a better character ever. |
YandereTheEmo said: Akame ga Kill I'm a fan of that manga too. I assume you're referring to Tatsumi? |

| Okabe from Steins Gate! Allen Walker from D. Gray Man! |

| (It's a manga but whatever)Utsumi Seiji from GE: Good Ending went from being a shit character to a really good character.....of course it was thanks to Kurokawa, but still I loved the way his character developed and changed over time. |

| Due to the recent event in manga, Keima come to my mind. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Akari from the Aria series without a doubt for me, but Erin form Kemono no Souja Erin is a close second. |

May I just say that I've spent extended periods of time just watching your signature... It's quite wondrous. OT: Good Ending is one of those manga that just killed me halfway through. However, it is truly just worth the read. |

| Pretty much any character from Evangelion |

| My favorites have to be any of the character developments in Kokoro Connect, considering that the anime was all about the relationships built among the members of the club, it really was nice to see payoff for all the stuff they had to go through. |
| "There stood a high school boy, who for selfish reasons had twice beaten an elementary school girl unconscious, and had gotten all nihilistically worked up about it. Actually that's still me." |
| Oskar von Reuenthal and Yang Wenli from Legend of the Galactic Heroes immediately come to mind. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Madoka comes to mind, specifically episode 10. |
| For manga I'd have to Hoshi no Samidare, every character pretty much gets development and it's done so damn well. |
 |
| Julian Minci from Legend of the Galactic Heroes |
 |
| For a recent one that I've come to love, I'd choose Albert de Morcerf from the animated adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo: Gankutsuou. His development over the course of the series is stellar. He starts off as your naive teenager, and many even compare him to static cowardly characters like Shinji Ikari. However, Albert is no coward, and he is one of the best-written dynamic teenage characters I've seen in an anime. Through his ordeals with the Count, the drama with his friends, and the events with the three main families, the guy goes through major development. He's betrayed, he's fooled, then he becomes self-aware of his naivety... Albert is just awesome as a character. |
| "One does not simply say no to a loli with animal ears and tail." http://myanimelist.net/animelist/iAmEcchi |
| Love D-Boy's growth in Tekkaman Blade. While he does pull a Shinji at least once, D-Boy goes from an untrusting lone wolf to a true hero with great support. |
 |
| Madoka has a lot of it for several of its characters. Okarin, Taiga and Holo also come to mind. |
  |
| For a manga, Berserk has some of the best character development, specifically in the Golden Age arc. Texhnolyze also does a great job with it's characters, never really ignoring any of them. It has some of the better character development in anime. Oh! Also the development in Oyasumi Punpun. There is a small cast of characters and all of them are given such great depth. This goes for pretty much any manga by Asano Inio. |

Theodoricos said: Oh, this is an easy one. Ash Ketchum, Pokemon. ..you were joking..? ARE YOU MAD. Ash Ketchum is the DEFINITION of a well paced character development. A model most characters in anime try to achieve, and above all, from the most thought provoking and engaging anime in existence. |

| Okabe - Steins;Gate Simon - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann |
| there was an anime but it was a pretty poor adaptation of the game, but luke fon fabre from tales of the abyss takes this spot for me. He starts off as this kind of despicable selfish brat, but after some events i cant mention due to spoilers he really develops into one hell of a character TOA is a rare case where the emo phase was actually handled really well, he has a very valid reason to act down but the thing that made this so well handled was that he didnt sit around and mope, he carries the sadness and regrets of a past decision with him throughout the entire game not letting it slow him down but never letting him forget the actions hes made. It makes for some truly emotional moments and it honestly stands in my mind as the best redemption story iv seen in a story. Especially comparing him in the final parts of the story to the start and seeing how radically different he is in every way |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Guts from Berserk Oscar from Rose of Versailles Punpun from Oyasumi Punpun Alpha from Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Akari from Aria |
| Kurosawa from Onanie Master Kurosawa. |
| My favorite character development (That I can think of right now, anyway) is Kenichi from HSDK. His development is gradual, but I like that. He doesnt just go from wimp to insta-badass like Simon from TTGL, instead, he trains hard and builds confidence while getting stronger and upholding his principles. If you look at the first and latest couple of characters, you see, that he still has that wimpy side, but he doesn't let it dominate his character anymore, that's realistic development. |
| My favorite would be Ayumu Narumi's reveal |
 |
| Kyon from Haruhi didn't develop much at all in the show, but his development in the movie was fantastic. Same with Yuki Nagato. I also can't go without mentioning Renton from Eureka Seven. Wimpy characters tend to have poor character development (See Shinji, Yuki and Shoe) but Renton is the exception. |
 |
| Okabe from Steins;Gate Akane from Psycho-Pass SaberKurisu said: Kyon from Haruhi didn't develop much at all in the show, but his development in the movie was fantastic. Totally agree, I didn't like Kyon in the series that much, but his character in the movie was spectacular |
Hoshino_MariaAug 30, 2013 7:56 PM
| Agree on the others about Simon from TTGL, for the same reason. Literal 'zero to hero then zero but soon turns into a hero'. |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| I don't know about favorite, but Yuuhei Azuma from Cross Game comes to mind. That character development man. |
 |
| Minene Uryuu from Mirai Nikki is my favorite. I love watching cold hearted bitches go tsundere. |
 |
| Tomoya's character development. |
| "Canaan. You're a victim whose past was taken away by war. And she's a defeated person who lost her past in a power struggle. Soldiers who are born within destruction take hatred as their weapon. Even though you and her became soldiers for the same reason, you both live differently. Listen Canaan, you cannot counter hatred with hatred... ever." -Siam, Canaan |
| Yagami Light's. For a protagonist in a shounen series, his development was something really unique and interesting, the ending conclusion in Death Note made his development perfect. Other honorable mentions: Wolfgang Grimmer Reinhard von Lohengramm Hei Makunouchi Ippo oh and manga.. Guts Kurosawa Molester Man Gaara |
| The guy who faps in toilets....Kurosawa? Man that manga gave me so much inspiration while I was in high school...;) |
| I'd say Guts (Berserk) and Yoshii (Texhnolyze). |
| You best be joking, nigger. |
| I would say my favorites in character development are... Garrod Ran & Tiffa Adill-After War Gundam X Ami Nonomura-Cream Lemon Waver Velvet-Fate/Zero Eriko Tamura-Idol Densetsu Eriko Ruri Hoshino-Martian Successor Nadesico Parn-Record of Lodoss War OVA Oscar Francois de Jarjayes-Rose of Versailles Sakura Shinguji-Sakura Taisen Jinto Lynn & Lafiel Abriel-Seikai no Monsho/Senki Noriko Takaya-Top Wo Nerae!
