Ichigo Kurosaki

He's such a cool dude. He is really devoted to his friends and protecting everyone. A true noble dude.

I recently bought the Play Arts Kai figure of him on Ebay. He's the only anime character I own as a figure.

Ichigo <3

Oh Kotetsu, I have a man crush on you. Such a badass goofball!

 

[Negaiido]

Yamazaki Sagaru (Gintama)

I just loved every episode he was in , always very funny

 

[Busaiku]

Best show.

 

[Lesath]

Ranma Saotome. He has no emo-crybaby past, is arrogant as fuck, and trolls his opponents all the time.

 

[Ultratech]

In no particular order...

a)Kaguro

b)Shishio

c)Spike

d)Kamina

e)Light

Doesn't that describe every lame one-dimensional shounen character ever made?

 

[Draft]

Can you smell it, Ray?

It's the smell... OF DEATH.

Hardest motherfucker of all time.

Kirino

Don't hate on my choices, that's not what the thread is about.

 

[ag-my001]

Character guaranteed to make me smile when on screen:

Admiral Spoor from Crest/Banner of the Stars

Favorite pairing:

Isaac and Miria from Baccano. Can't split em up. They're just so infectiously happy.

I laughed for five minutes straight when I first saw their cameo in

Spoiler

Durarara

.

 

[Lerozz]

Amano Jyaku (Urotsukidoji)

Gennosuke Kouga (Basilisk)

Manji (Blade of the Immortal)

Guts and Kenshiro were already mentioned. Well done.

 

[Dali]

Don't hate on my choices, that's not what the thread is about.

I'm not hating, just amused by your reasons for choosing him.

I like Shizuo because he doesn't like violence but is always spazzing out and breaking shit. He's like 100 lbs but has the strength of Thor.

Spike is Bruce fucking Lee. I think that's really all that needs to be said of him.

Mugen is a break-dancing samurai. A BREAK DANCING SAMURAI!

Kenji Murasame is an immortal international police ninja that could probably single-handedly destroy Giant Robo if he so decided.

Yes, those are bullet holes in his back. Yes that is also a smile on his face.


There, now you can be amused by my reasoning as well.

 

[Volimar]

LINA INVERSE

Aww, I thought I'd be the first to say this. But yeah, Lina Inverse.

Also, need to give it up for my favorite female lead.

"Darkness beyond twilight
Crimson beyond blood that flows
Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows
In thy great name, I pledge myself to conquer
All the foes who stand
Before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hands.
Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed, by the power you and I posses: Dragon Slave!"

-Lina Inverse. Styling on these fools.

 

[Tamanon]

F yeah! Especially loved the dub version, really pulled off "evil" genius.

I think I'm just a fan of characters who accomplish most of their theatrics with a finger snap.

 

[bengraven]

YESYESYES. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one.
So flawed, so angry, so fantastic.

Yep! A redhead with an attitude who drove a giant robot that was my favorite color. There wasn't much not to love. haha Drove me nuts for a year after watching the ending, wondering if she had survived or not.

haha, this thread is making me want to watch an anime again.

 

[makingmusic476]

*Skims through thread - no Onizuka*

GAF.. I am disappoint.

It took three damn pages for somebody to get it right!

 

[MikeMyers]

Deleted.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Ginko from Mushi-Shi. Kind and compassionate, yet at times as mysterious as the mushi he studies.

Yang Wen-li from Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Laid-back guy who just wanted to study history but his brilliant strategic mind propelled him to become the universe's champion of democracy.

 

[Kandrick]

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

<-------Onizuka (GTO)-----------

I'm glad to see some representation, as those first couple pages had me worried...

 

[Renmei]

 

[picklecannon]

<-------Onizuka (GTO)-----------

Another Onizuka vote here. I'm going to have to go with Light and L from Death Note as well.

 

[TheVampire]

Goku in his SSj3 transformation

 

[Zane]

Simon from Gurren Lagann. THE biggest badass in anime. Suck it Kamina fans.

 

[S. L.]

Damn, I can't believe I didn't think of Spoor.

this just makes me sad, will SNSIII ever come to the west, or at least get a fansub of the full episode :**(

 

[Liquidsnake]

 

[Mr Nash]

I mostly like the older stuff.

Also like Revy from Black Lagoon.

 

[Koopakiller]

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

+1 Guts

+1 spike

+1 Batou and Motoko Kusanagi (of course)

+1 Golgo 13

+1 Ken (of course)

Baki

+1 Revy

 

[Dollar Yen]

- Tough call. Mwu La Flaga seems to ring true with me. You can't dup that man at all or his lifestyle. Seeing him out in Gundam Seed was the only thing going for that show. Person, mind you. He was pretty cool and calm, even when faced with adversities.

- Spike Speigal is always a badass in his own right. Especially in the anime. Spike doesn't ask for much in words, but his actions make him irreplaceable. How he deals with women and his very own personal situations - it's hard to see fault in his problem solving and jeet kun do. As for Manga Spike... he needs a chill pill.

- Togusa in S.A.C.- not a cyborg and carries a revolver in a modern time. Definitely the best man for the job.

- Jubei in Ninja Scroll gets a nod from me. I had no idea that he was a ninja, though. Damn you, Movie-To-Series crap!

 

[Buddha Beam]

These two would be my number 1. More-so Kyon.

Then the already oft-mentioned Lupin III

And Jet is just awesome (as is everything Cowboy Bebop)

Laugh, but this is one of the more real characters in anime.

completely agreed.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Rika in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

 

[alba]

The one and only! *highfive*

[bangai-o]

[Xilium]

Mine have already been posted but I'll give some love to Rock Lee (Naruto):

Hibari Kyoya (Kateky&#333; Hitman Reborn!)

and Harunobu Madarame (Genshiken)

 

[Jintor]

Fuck yes Madarame.

Madarame's voice actor is one of my favourites in the entire industry. Same with Kyon's.

 

[Melfice7]

Saito Hajime

Aku Soku Zan!

 

[Uchip]

Its not accurate

I feel sorry for people naming shounen leads

 

[tiff]

 

[dluu13]

Tainaka Ritsu

Osaka

There's just something about Azumanga. It's about "nothing", but it's still one of my favorite animes.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

From my limited experience, it's a toss up between Gene Starwind and Spike Spiegel.

 

[Morgadeth]

Konata - Lucky star

Mio - Strike Witches

Airi - Queen's Blade

 

[LowerLevel]

Ranma, Ryoga, Gutts, Midnight-Eye Goku

 

[MrSerrels]

Everyone who posted Takamura from Hajime No Ippo gets my ever lasting respect. Even recently in the manga, when he came to the ring dressed as a Panda. Fucking gold.
