Post by: Zarich on July 13, 2011, 04:25:01 am
Ok people, list your favorite Anime characters WITH EXPLANATION, PLEASE

Eucliwood Hellscythe (KoreZom)- One of my favorite Quiet girls. If you think of it, she is very internally conflicted with her life that she wants to be in. Enjoyable and has a kawaii voice. Not to mention she is super powerful
Ikaros (Sora No Otoshimono)- Another Silent Girl. One of my favorite girls while also being pathetic if you think of it.
Chaos (Sora no Otoshimono)- Crazy Psycho Loli. 'nuff said. She is also pretty Kawaii. I can't wait till she is a good character in the manga (hopefully)
Nagato Yuki-Yeah I like the Silent ones
Ai (Dragon Crisis)- Overal imo a nice character. Hell I love the name Ai
Yell (Akikan!)- Of the the 'cool' Characters I actually like. Pettanko Helps also
Yoshida Yuki/Maelstrom A great character. Fun, happy, lovable. My Favorite KoreZom Character
Msyu Pettanko with Fire powers and Fanged teeth.. I love Pettankos <3
Sakai Hina (Hoshi)- Another cool character with kawaii tedencies
Masakaki (C) The only guy character to be my favorites, crazy, sarcastic and manipulative. Masakaki is just awesome

I have more, but these are the ones i thought of immediately

Ikaros (Sora No Otoshimono) Cant get enough of her, dont know why, just love her.
Mayuka Kondō (Onii-chan No Koto) Dem stockings, and shes an overall nice girl, but can get dirty when she wants to.
Nao Yorihime (Yosuga no Sora) OH MY DEAR SWEET HEAVEN. This girl is the greatest anime character ever in my opinion. She's so sweet and caring a loving and just AHHHHH! If i knew a girl like this.. id be all over her like butter on toast. Plus shes extremely good looking.
Kaede Fuyou (Shuffle!) First anime character i liked, and i love the crazy girls for some reason. The crazy ones that take care of the guy.. LIKE NAO.
Mari Makinami (evangelion 2.22 You can (NOT) advance) Pretty much just cause shes like a school girl from my fantasies.

Please note, this list is NOT up to date, because I don't want to sit down and figure on who's been replaced right now. Also, the bbcodes were taken directly from MAL so, look forward to a long post.

Top 25 Characters

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/01%20Furukawa%20Nagisa.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/4604/Nagisa_Furukawa)
I hardly need to explain this one, but basically, Furukawa is my ideal girl. She's adorable, kind, gentle, she has the "weak body" moe going for her, which makes me want to protect her. She also has AWESOME parents.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/02%20Alicia%20Melchiott.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/17080/Alicia_Melchiott)
Alicia is just such a tsundere. She's absolutely adorable though, plus, when you see those lips... who could say no? I love her scrappy nature, but that in the end, she's still a beautiful and thoughtful person.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/03%20Ryuuguu%20Rena.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/1427/Rena_Ryuuguu)
Well, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for yandere girls. Also always had a bit of a soft spot for Nakahara Mai characters (see Nagia above). Honesty though, when she's not attempting to grind Keiichi into dust or sticking an axe in someone's head, Rena is absolutely adorable. She has the most wonderful laugh and she's so very good at playing innocent when we all know she's not (not, Zombie, those of you who've seen the anime probably know what I mean, kana? Kana?). Darou? Darou?

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/04%20Minami%20Chiaki.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/5505/Chiaki_Minami)
Chiaki.is.awesome. There is no other need for explanation. Voiced by my favourite seiyuu. Adorable. A perfect mix of overly mature and entirely IMmature. Also, she has a serious crush on her older sister, and the possibility of yuri incest is a joyful one.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/05%20Tachibana%20Kanade.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/22369/Kanade_Tachibana)
Kanade <3 Probably one of the most wonderfully tragic characters. It's hard to explain anything about Angel Beats without dropping major spoilers, but let's just say that from the very first moment she stuck a fucking gigantic blade through Otonashi's chest, I adored her. Watching her get pummelled endlessly by bullets and never give up was just wondrous.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/06%20Sakurai%20Yukino.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/7325/Yukino_Sakurai)
Yuki-nee. So cute. What I love about Yukino is that she's a very classic and simple example of deredere. Not only that, while she usually comes off as the immature type, you will realise soon enough that she always has her mind on the important things, and the amount she cares for her sister (not just romantically) is incredibly endearing.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/07%20Kousaka%20Kirino.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/24544/Kirino_Kousaka)
Kirino is... well... I just wish she was ORE no imouto. Complete otaku, into imouto games, adorable/gorgeous. I think I kind of have a thing for girls with a secret, too. A secret like hers especially.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/08%20Nagato%20Yuki.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/249/Yuki_Nagato)
I wonder, do I even need to explain this one? Everybody likes Nagato, right? Well, okay, she's like the perfect cross between an android and a human. She's fascinating. We all know that, somewhere under there, she's got emotions. I just long to see her smile.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/09%20Misaka%20Mikoto.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/13701/Mikoto_Misaka)
RAILGUN. She can blow crap up with her super electricity powers. Not enough? Okay, well she's an adorable tsundere. I like tsundere's. I AM tsundere. On top of that, she's just SO cool, and she has 20,001 imouto's, which is pretty awesome too.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/10%20Kamijou%20Touma.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/13700/Touma_Kamijou)
Number 1 in my man harem. Touma makes me lol on quite a number of levels. A man of pride and morals. A man with an awesome harem, who still remains kind even though they constantly beat on him. Most of all, I love how he never really gets the scope of the situations he's in. An enemy threatens the whole world "YOU HURT MY FRIEND AND BLEW UP MY APARTMENT. I'LL MAKE YOU PAY." Ahh, Touma. :D

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/11%20Celty%20Sturluson.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/28331/Celty_Sturluson)
It's the mystery, I think. I mean, we're seen her head, we know she's pretty. Something about a headless girl on a motorbike with a ROCKIN body that you just can't deny. It hardly needs to be said.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/12%20Senjougahara%20Hitagi.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/22037/Hitagi_Senjougahara)
Senjougahara. Gorgeous. Damaged. Lethal. Intelligent. Sexy. Yandere.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/13%20Shirayuki%20Mizore.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/8129/Mizore_Shirayuki)
It's the purple hair, lollipop and zettai ryouiki. I loved this girl before I'd ever seen her in action. She made it onto my top characters after only 1 episode. She's pretty hilarious in the anime too. Mostly it's her appearance though.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/14%20Aisaka%20Taiga.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/12064/Taiga_Aisaka)
More KugiRie. Taiga? She's just so SMALL. In spite of that, I think I find her to be one of the most interesting loli's I've come across. She's completely kick ass, but under that tough exterior, she's very vulnerable. Watching her grow across the course of the series was really just joyous.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/15%20Houjou%20Satoko.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/1612/Satoko_Houjou)
Devious little loli. I can't say as I find her especially attractive, but she's pretty cute with her actions. Not to mention she definitely needs protecting.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/16%20Ushiromiya%20Battler.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/14040/Battler_Ushiromiya)
MORE for my man harem. Battler is just AWESOME. That's all I even need to say. Voiced by Ono Daisuke, which gets him serious points from the get go. I think it's probably the fact that he pulled his entire family into a time loop just by sheer force of will. "MAGIC DOES NOT EXIST!" Had you noticed that you've been repeating time, magically?

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/17%20Maebara%20Keiichi.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/1851/Keiichi_Maebara)
Keiichi is probably one of my favourites because of his faith in people. There are many times across the course of the Higurashi series when he's proved his loyalty without a shadow of a doubt, and how he's willing to stand by his friends no matter what. It's an admirable trait. So I guess he's on my list because I admire him?

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/18%20Ryougi%20Shiki.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/3105/Shiki_Ryougi)
She's got the androgyny factor going for her. I've always liked boyish looking girls. Ones with short hair, who wrap. Shiki's incredibly kick-ass, and incredibly tortured. If nothing else, I adore her for being able to live as she is.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/19%20Shirai%20Kuroko.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/17017/Kuroko_Shirai)
lol, such a yandere. She's awesome, she's kick ass, and she's obsessed with her Onee-sama. All of these things are traits I can enjoy. Plus, I have to say, pretty fond of her DFC.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/20%20Nakahara%20Misaki.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/2552/Misaki_Nakahara)
Hehe, another sad individual. Definitely another case of calling on my nurturing instinct. I can't say much without spoiling things, but let's just say that I'd be happy to be stuck with her.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/21%20Furude%20Rika.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/1534/Rika_Furude)
Oyasuminasai nano desu. That's not enough? Okay, well, she's adorable, but underneath her adorable facade, there's something much deeper. Something that's much more pained. In all that time. She never lost her hope.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/22%20Okazaki%20Tomoya.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/4606/Tomoya_Okazaki)
Tomoya is the king of sarcasm. His story is pretty classic. Delinquent who's on a path to nowhere. But he's got a good heart, the kindest of hearts. Because of that he made friends. Friends that would support him to the ends of the Earth. Tomoya is the kind of person you could only hope to be.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/23%20Sakurano%20Kurimu.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/24012/Kurimu_Sakurano)
Really? She's just a cute little loli. That's, pretty much my entire reason. It's those little usagi candies. ;_;

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/24%20Heiwajima%20Shizuo.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/24595/Shizuo_Heiwajima)
Dude is KICK.ASS. Seriously, another voiced by Ono Daisuke. He's just so freaking cool. Those glasses, the power to tear a lamp post from the ground. An interesting back story. I just love the character.

(http://yuki.hologfx.com/images/Top%2025%20characters/25%20Re-l%20Mayer.png) (http://myanimelist.net/character/643/Re-l_Mayer)
Probably one of the most interesting characters on my list. Without spoiling I can't go much into it. I can say that, in spite of her upbringing, she's the type to ask before jumping. That's a trait I like.

Holy crap that was long -_-

I'm so glad to see the thread name being "favourite characterS"  ;)
I have heaps but if I were to pick a few out of them they would be:
Eucliwood (Kore wa zombie desuka?) - I like how she seems so cool but has a funi character (love that scene where she was eating the pudding x333)
Sugisaki Ken (Seitokai no Ichizon) - I just think he is amazing! He was able to go from the bottom of the year to the top of the year (in terms of grades). He is also funi and his dream is trying to make everybody happy ^^
Pain (Naruto, haters gonna hate) - He is one of the coolest anime characters I have seen imo. He truly wishes for world peace and a world where everyone can live happily.
Hakase!!! (Nichijou) - You just gotta love her <3<3<3 funi moments, funi expressions, cute moments, cute expressions
Otonashi Yuzuru (Angel Beats!) - He is funi and he works so hard in order to be able to help others ^^ (his imouto is cute!)
Shiina Mafuyu (Seitokai no Ichizon) - She doesn't have much special traits but I just love her like that. Too kawaii~
Gokou Ruri/Kuroneko (Oreimo) - She tries to act tough at times but is actually a very cute girl.

Eucliwood (Kore wa Zombie) - Awesome awesome awesome. I just hate how she seems so sad all the time D: (Which is why the last two eps were awesome)

Ikaros (SnO) - Pretty much same thing as Eu, but seeing her happy is even more rare :(

Suzumiya Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi) - She's tsundere and awesome. Really active and seemingly uninterested in anything but doing stupid stuff, but her feelings can been seen throughout the series' and movie. AND she does look damn good in a ponytail.

Lala (TLR) - She might be an idiot but she's pretty damn good looking and desperate to get Rito to love her back. She's determined and motivated, so she's awesome.

Shiina Mayuri (S;G) - Normally I don't like airheaded characters, but Hanazawa Kana voices her and she is pretty damn kawaii all the time, so she's awesome

Ika Musume (Ika Musume) - She's pretty funny ~de geso

Hakase (Nichijou) - Always plotting and doing stuff for teh lulz. I loved the scene where she screws up and draws glasses on Nano's little guy, as well as every scene where she does something wrong (like the glue or when she eats all the snacks)

Sugisaki Ken (thanks nana for reminding me) (Seitokai no Ichizon) - LOL. Total baller and not at all an idiot.

Aisaka Taiga (Toradora) - Tsundere is cool and so is she.

Masa-San (SnH) - He took his first kiss.

Erio (Denpa Onna) - She's cute as hell and shy, which is awesome.

Lara Bodewig (IS) - Pretty much the best character in IS, the only one except for maybe Char who isn't afraid to actually get something done in that show.

Mifune Ryuuko (Denpa Onna) - she's cute, funny and has nice boobs :)
Touwa Erio (Denpa Onna) - she's cute (yeah, I like cute girls) and shy, and she's so hnnng with twin tails
Akemi Homura (Madoka Magica) - she's cold but she's hiding her true feelings. She's badass, has a lot of guns and her Unlimited Bazooka Works - awesome.
Momo (To LOVE-Ru) - she's cute, she can fight, she's a little evil and she has a plan. Great plan. Muahahahaha :P
Akiyama Mio (K-ON!) - shy, cute, moe and sexy girl. What more could you want?
Nagato Yuki (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu) - hmmm, silent alien girl with fast, short and accurate answers. But I like her Disappearance version more.
Sakagami Tomoyo (Clannad) - she's pretty, good cook, kind, good at sports and has good kicks (look at chain combo).
Izumi Konata (Lucky Star) - The only one character voiced by Aya Hirano that I like. She's lazy, sarcastic and funny. Just like me, hehe.
Asahina Mikuru (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu) - Moooooe. Shy, she often blushes and she has loli body with big boobs like Haruhi says.
Hirasawa Yui (K-ON!) - She's lazy, funny, plays guitar and like sweets. I like sweets too ;)
Tomoe Hotaru/Sailor Saturn (Sailor Moon) - my favourite sailor. She has good looking weapon and she is capable of destroying planets.

Revy (Black Lagoon) - she's two hand, she likes guns and she's totally badass.
Kyon (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu) - I like him for his sarcasm. Great character.

Post by: Krozam on August 05, 2011, 01:19:49 am
Let's see... This'll probably take some time, since I have no ready list even in my mind, that's why I've pushed this off, but tonight I have some time.

My all-time favourite anime character is probably Yagami Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma. Not only is he among my top 5 coolest male characters, he also possesses a very, very intriguing past, and his interaction with Ayano is often hilarious.

My favourite female character is probably Beatrice from Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Beautiful character design, a delightfully conflicting (and rather insane) personality and a godlike seiyuu doing quite possibly her best role.

Others in no particular order:
Alucard from Hellsing - Chillingly cool, he was my first touch to what I call the "Japanese type of coolness", which I have grown to love.
Edward Elric, FMA - If I were to cosplay one day, I'd probably cosplay Edward. With his wisdom and atheist mindset, you could even say that he was something of an idol for me, though I was already 15-16 when I first watched FMA.
Sendou Erika, Fortune Arterial - Though the anime was a disappointment overall, I can still say that it's the same character that I got a crush on when I read the visual novel. She's damn near my ideal woman, or at least that's how I felt back then.
Touwa Erio, Denpa Onna - The one and only character to ever make me completely and utterly surrender to moe.
Evangeline A.K. McDowell, Negima - more because of the manga than any of the anime adaptations. There's never been a loli so f*cking cool.
Nara Shikamaru, Naruto - I wanted one character from Naruto, and after pondering characters such as Gaara, Neji and Jiraya, I finally decided on Shikamaru. He's not immensely cool like Gaara, or hilarious like Jiraya, you might even say that he's not among the deepest characters in Naruto, but he's so very... interesting.
Senjougahara Hitagi, Bakemonogatari - A very interesting character, somehow she's both yandere and tsundere, yet she manages to avoid the worst of both stereotypes. I wouldn't go out with her, though, she's f*cking scary.
Holo, Spice and Wolf - Charming in a very rare way for an anime character. I love her dialogue, and she's not lacking in depth and dimensions either.
Katsuragi Keima, The World God Only Knows - A gaming otaku who finds his way into any maiden's heart with incredible psychological methods, yet never abuses his power - on the contrary, he bestows them wisdom so deep that it's easy to miss in such a light-hearted show. A very, very interesting character.
Urahara Kisuke, Bleach - Bleach, much like Naruto, has an army of interesting side characters, while the main characters are boring as hell. Urahara is my choice from Bleach, thanks to his mysteriousness, coolness and amusement value.
Kurei, Flame of Recca - He's cool from the start, and he does gain some serious depth in the anime, but he gets even more interesting and multi-dimensional in the manga after the anime ends. One of my all-time favourite anti-heroes.
Kamijou Touma, To Aru Majutsu no Index - One of my favourite shounen protagonists, he says some damn good things occasionally, and his nonchalant kind of coolness is much to my taste. Also, he actually uses his brain in battle, instead of pushing through with sheer willpower and ridiculous stamina, or overwhelming power, like so many other shounen heroes.
Nakajima Youko, The 12 Kingdoms - A prime example of how skilled character development can make a boring, dislikeable character into a very interesting and likeable one. There are many such characters in Juuni Kokuki, my favourite anime.
Integra F.W. Hellsing, Hellsing - So. Damn. Cool. Cool female characters are rare, only three come to mind readily: Evangeline, Revy and Integra. Revy is my least favourite of them, so I'm omitting her from the list.
Ushiromiya Maria, Umineko - Perhaps the deepest, most interesting child character that I know. And a very fine blend of scary and cute.
Nura Rikuo, Nurarihyon no Mago - While his day persona is a bit boring most of the time, his night persona is just made of cool. It's rare for a male lead of a shounen fighting anime to be so chillingly cool, so I feel Rikuo deserves his place among my very favourite characters.
Ookami Ryouko, Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi - Probably my favourite tsundere character, expertly balanced tsun- and dere-sides, and rather deep, too.
Vash the Stampede, Trigun - Few characters are so hilariously funny and so damn cool, with an intriguing backstory to boot.
Onadera Karen, Onegai Twins - Probably my favourite little sister -type character. Absolutely adorable, even if her character design isn't quite match for the beautiful designs in Denpa Onna. Characters like her make me wish I had a little sister...
Amanojaku, Ghost Stories - Likely the most interesting pet character I know. Kind of an anti-hero, his conversion from an "evil" demon into a more or less "good" person is very well done in the show.

So many others I'd like to add, but I suppose these are the top of the top.

^this

I was going to post how Yagami Kazuma is the number #1 badass anime character as well as the coolest of them all but you beat me to it.

For that, you deserve +1 karma. I still curse the day when the author of the Kaze no Stigma light novels kicked the bucket. I wanna know more about Kazuma's past! :'( I also want more Kazuma + Ayano + Ren action. There's a reason why KnS novels are virtually the only ones I've read among the multitude of light novels that I want to read. Though only two of them are translated so far, I'll most certainly read the rest some day, whether they get translated or not.

Also, I forgot Taichi Hiraga-Keaton from my list. Such a wise man, a truly admirable adult character.

Alright. Lets get to work. I'm assuming that most people know them so... Yea.

Yuki Nagato - The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi -> She may be a cyborg, but she's a cyborg with feelings!

Natsu Dragneel - Fairy Tail -> Never die attitude? Yes please.

Mokey D. Luffy - One Piece ->  I like One Piece. I like this simple, easy to understand character.

Mitsuru - Fruits Basket -> Because I too hate editors.

Ritsu - Fruits Basket -> IM SO SORRY.

Teito Klein - 07 Ghost -> He was a slave, than a soldier, than a priest. Damn.

Hasaharu - Fruits Basket -> User pic anyone?

AND MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE OF ALL

I could explain in a lot of detail why I like these characters, but if you're like me, you don't wanna read a lot when it comes to other people's posts unless they're talking to you XD.

In no particular order:
Harima, Kenji from School Rumble: Simply hilarious, I love his personality, he's a good guy that has it hard in the series and I always cheer for him.
Fujibayashi, Kyou from Clannad: Such a cutie, lover her personality as well.
Saionji, Sekai from School Days: "See Above"
Monkey D., Luffy from One Piece: His stupidity makes me laugh my ass off, his morals are respectable, and he's a bamf.
Okazaki, Shinichi from NANA: I love bass, I love Shinichi's story, I advocate him to be with Reira strongly, and he has a very cool image.
Lamperouge, Lelouch from Code Geass: Lelouch does work and gets things done, he's brilliant, and the ending of Code Geass makes him very admirable
Hanajima, Saki from Fruits Basket: Main source of comic relief for me in Fruits Basket, she's a great friend and her scenes generally make me laugh.
Mio Akiyama from K-ON!: She's cute (look and personality wise), she plays bass, I love the voice actor and singing, do I need to say anymore?

And ones with a fang.
And red eyes


There's also others, but these are the ones I can remember the name of.

Kind of amusing... Everyone else lists the characters they find cutest, and here I listed character I find deep and multi-dimensional. Though of course I also listed a few cute and cool characters, but still... XD

I don't know about the others but I watch anime for their cuteness.... And development I guess.

They do say that anime fans are divided into two types: those who look for "quality" and those who look for moe and such... Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one here leaning on the former type rather than the latter. XD Don't brand me an elitist, though, I don't think one is better than the other.

Quality watchers are just moe watchers in denial :P

It really depends on what your reason for watching I guess, if it's to pass time then you're a moe and if it's an addiction then you're a quality watcher :P

I think not. I'm a rather casual watcher, far from addicted (I haven't watched any for 2 weeks, just because I haven't felt like it).

You are mistaken by an addict and a HEAVY addict. Both are addictions no matter how you look at it.

1) Nagato Yuki (Haruhi series): A quiet girl who only talks when absolutely necessary. She is reliable and one of the most loyal person I've seen. She is also strong, doing her best finding her place in an environment she has been placed into.
2) Ayanami Rei (NGE): Similarly to Yuki she is quiet and is having a hard time fitting in. She is strong, fighting fearlessly, but weak at the same time (when she has to interact with others).
3) Rakka (Haibane Renmei): A clumsy, kind-hearted girl in search of answers. Absolutely loved seeing the plot unfold and how she dealt with her new life.
4) Konno Makoto (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time): A realistic and sympathetic character, someone with whom you could have lots of fun. She can be lazy and irresponsible every now and again, but at critical times it is obvious that she is a good person.
5) Yui-nyan (Angel Beats!): Full of life, always in the middle of doing something, having an undying passion for music and being a fun person, she instantly became one of my favorites.

I have to separate guys from girls. With guy characters it's mostly what I idolize/want to be while with girls they're mostly who I adore/want to be with.

As for guys...

Takashi Komuro of Highschool of the Dead
At first, he's portrayed like any other slacker, even sort of a loser. He's mediocre with politics and his social abilities are close to none. However, being honest and down-to-earth humble made him a character that learns and adapts to the situation quickly -- exactly what he needs to survive in a world full of zombies. I particularly liked how he admits he's not perfect and how he admits it when he has learned something new. He has emotions, but he never lets those get in his way (there is an exception when Rei was thrown off the humvee and a famous scene follows). He never loses sight of reality, easily accepts a situation as it is without going into despair and this trait helps him keep him calm and logical when everyone else is in panic mode.

Roy Mustang of Fullmetal Alchemist
Seemingly the perfect senior and a flawless commanding officer during the start of the series, Roy Mustang slowly shows his weakness, which is also his greatest asset -- his unrelenting focus to his goals, which at the time was revenge. He uses his emotions as a weapon and seemed like the more he's consumed by it, the more intelligent and devious he became. Even while consumed by his thirst for revenge when he was torturing the homunculus Envy, he's logical enough not turn against his greatest allies, The Elric Brothers and Riza Hawkeye, when they stopped him from killing Envy.


And the girls:

Saeko Busujima of Highschool of the Dead
I like confident girls.

Kuroko Shirai of Majutsu no Index/Kagaku no Railgun
I like confident, perverted girls.

Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst of Zero no Tsukaima
I like confident, perverted, busty girls.

Kanako Watanabe of Star Driver
I like confident, perverted, busty and intelligent girls.

Kanade Suzutsuki of Mayo Chiki!
I like confident, perverted, busty and intelligent girls who scheme.

Riko Mine of Hidan no Aria
I like confident, perverted, busty and intelligent girls who scheme and just go for what they want.

Mikako Satsukitane of Sora no Otoshimono
I like confident, perverted, busty and intelligent girls who scheme, go for what they want and punish the ones as perverted as them.

Anyone reading the female list who knows at least 2 of the girls would instantly know my type. So I thought I didn't have to make a paragraph for each one. I like mature women. Not old -- mature. Maturity usually has the bonus package of confidence, intelligence and reliability. Perversion, seduction, and the bust are extra bonus. Rawr.

1. Mai Kawasumi (Kanon): She is my favorite, why? I don't know I just love her, she is funny and epic that's about all I can say.

2. Haruna (Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?): I'm not a loli fan but she is just epic, shes the cliche bratty little girl with a fun twist, plus she carries around a chainsaw.

3. Maebra Keiichi (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni): He is just a good person, hes nice, and awesome, normally the male characters of a show are plain and the personalities are focused on the females, but Keiichi has more personality than I do :P

4. Hojo Satoko (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni): Another mischivious little girl on the list, she is pretty much Haruna without magical powers, and she gets one of the most screwed up torture deaths on the show (which is saying something) and endures pretty well for a what, 12, 13 year old?

5. Maromi-chan (Paranoia agent): BECAUSE... don't judge me

I still can't understand why so many people list Maebara Keiichi as one of their favourites. I found his stupidity often facepalm-worthy, his insanity annoyed me and as soon as things get a little out of hand he becomes anything but the likeable character you people present him as. Well, maybe it's because I've only watched 20 eps of Higurashi, maybe his character development makes him a more likeable character in the second series. He's pretty deep and multi-dimensional, I'll give him that, so I'd say he's a good character in his own way, but there's no way I'd call him likeable.

A couple of favourites I forgot to mention:
Ayuzawa Misaki, Kaichou wa Maid-sama - One of the most awesome female leads. She's got character, willpower, cuteness and great character dynamics with the male lead. I could probably mention Usui, too, but I'd rather not list two characters from the same show.
Gasai Yuno, Mirai Nikki - The queen of yandere. Rarely has there been a female lead who gets things done so efficiently. Also, being batshit crazy without being annoying is a big plus.

I've mostly been reading manga lately, so while I have alot of new favourites, they're not applicable for this list, since they're not (yet) anime characters.
