Who do you think is the most interesting and unique male anime character?
| Hachiman Hikigaya from OreGairu is the most interesting male anime character that I have ever seen.His characteristics are very distinctive and unique.I firmly believe that if he was replaced by any other ordinary protagonist,OreGairu wouldn't be that great. |

| Though certainly a dead horse at this point, it's amusing to see the main character of Sword Art Online up there. Not that I hold Tanjiro to a much higher standard or anything. Thread feels like a "Look at my favorite list" type because that's about what it'll get. |
 |
| Kumagawa Misogi from Medaka Box "Male", " Anime character" Yea, looks like I read the question right. So my answer is that. He's that sort of character that will excel wherever anime you put him. |

| I think Satou Kazuma is a pretty refreshing and unique character for the Isekai genre. Most Isekai protagonists are either perfect wish fulfillment characters or too whiny and pathetic. Kazuma is one of the funniest protagonists in anime I think and one of the reasons I liked Konosuba so much. I liked that even though he had a harem of girls, he wasnt really interested in them. It was refreshing. They're probably other more interesting male characters, but out of that list I would go with Kazuma. Edward is a pretty good one as well. |

| I voted for Kazuma from Konosuba because Hachiman isn't on there but the most interesting and unique male anime character, in my opinion, is Orihara Izaya and Hikigaya Hachiman |
| I voted others because none of the characters there I can call unique, nope. Unique =/= well written, imo. These are my choice of unique characters:  Trafalgar Law - A doctor with tattoos all over his body, and ear piercing, and a pirate captain to boot. - And he is also a swordsman. - Calls people names with -ya at the end. His personality is less unique, but I thought his character as a whole is pretty unique even in the world of One Piece.  Akira Agarkar Yamada - An Indian Prince spy with turban and pet duck named Tapioca. Granted, the whole anime is full of quirky characters, but yeah, I found him to be the most unique.  Jonah - Child soldier. - Stark white hair, dark skin, red eyes. His personality is less unique but it's also not common, imo.  Death The Kid - The son of Shinigami and is obsessed with symmetry, lol.  Shimotsuki Shun - An Idol which is also a Demon Lord. At least he claims himself as The White Demon Lord. - Is extremely unpredictable and whimsical. - Talks mysteriously. The way he talks and his demeanor is just so unique to me. |

Oh shoot you're right. Even though I read the list like three times before commenting, I still didn't see it lol |
| Light Yagami again, he's such a good character and breaks a lot of cliches about what a male protagonist is supposed to act. L is really interesting as well. |
| My youtube channel about music and anime : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_rrNoYApg1VQ-PIT7jZ37Q |
| The amount of votes for Guts and Gintoki is disappointing so far... |
asdfghk this might be the most beautiful pic of accelerator *q* |

| Hachiman and Okabe are on the poll but no Subaru? I dunno if I'd call him the *most* unique and interesting but he definitely deserves an honorable mention. |
 |
He looks like a handsome boy in his own anime. xP |
|
| L Lawliet from Death Note. He's definitely the most interesting anime character. |
 |
| Nice. The two cringiest fambases are currently competing with each other for the top spot in this poll. I voted Kirito because fuck you for doing an all-time thread in a poll format. |
 |
| lmao what is this poll filled with generic protagonist? |
| No shit. Ma boi araragi is so unique, he can gradually harass your little sister sexually and Idek what 'am sayin' rn |
| Making a poll about unique male anime characters and including Tanjirou in the options... XDDD |
| Wow, Kazuma and Hachiman is tied for the most interesting/unique male characters, while (currently) Oreki is more compelling character than both of them, didn't got any votes, because his not edgy enough lmao....... Kill me please...... |

| In my opnion the most unique character I've come across is definitely Kazuma. After watching shows with so many shallow characters, I felt relieved watching Konosuba which is a show full of unique personalities. Honorable mentions would go to Subaru, Okabe, Hachimann, Saiki and my boy Askeladd. |

Uhhh… I'm sorry but Hachiman isn't that unique... maybe to anime MCs but if were looking at actual highschool kids there's a million edgelord loners just like him. Definitely not unique, but fun to watch forsure. 2shizukasensei88 said: Wow, Kazuma and Hachiman is tied for the most interesting/unique male characters, while (currently) Oreki is more compelling character than both of them, didn't got any votes, because his not edgy enough lmao....... Kill me please...... Okay this is just objectively wrong. Oreki is the single most boring and uninteresting character on the list. He is the single most boring and uninteresting main character of any anime I have seen. I was disgusted he even got one vote. Not hating on him or Hyouka (although I certainly wasn't a fan) but he's anything but unique or interesting. Just no. No. |
| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |

Ewww no. That beta doesnt belong up there the fact that Subaru is not bland and perfect is what makes him a unique male protagonist. It's interesting to watch him struggle because he's so completely out of his element. |

Even interacting with the pretty girl chasing him around is just oh so hard and takes away from his sleeping time. Shit character to be entirely honest. |

| Captain Tylor, who is a slacker that somehow stumbled into being a war hero of sorts. |
| I can agree on 8man on top. Light is very much interesting. If not so, maybe you and I wouldn't be here. Surprised that Hitler and Kiritsugu are missing from pole. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |

| Guys the thread asked for interesting and unique male characters, not which one you relate to the most so stop voting for 8man smh CrimsonMidnight said: Akira Agarkar Yamada - An Indian Prince spy with turban and pet duck named Tapioca. Granted, the whole anime is full of quirky characters, but yeah, I found him to be the most unique. Not to forget he infiltrated a high school class, is proficient at martial arts and is into fishing. Akira is definitely something else lol |
 |
| bruh, I overlooked Hachiman. DAmmit. welp, there goes my vote |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| In my opinion Tomoya and Kyou are tied for the most interesting male characters. |
