favourite anime character of meh:

FIRST PLACE: Asuka! (duh!) :asuka_miffed:

mah others: (i suck at making lists of such things, i only have mah absolute favourite and "the rest of mah favourites"

Osaka (Azumanga Daioh)
Kaorin (Azumanga Daioh)
Commander Amarao (FLCL)
Haruko Haruhara (FLCL)

just to say a few, i've got many more but then the list would be far to long...

(i know that the Thread says "outside of EVA" but i refuse to not give Asuka mah first place!)

Sorry, didn't have enough time to look at all the responses, but I thought I saw a couple of people mention characters from Martian Successor Nadesico (that series has always held a special place in my heart).

As much as I love Spike Spencer and his portrayal of Akito Tenkawa, I would have to say my favorite character is Gai Daigouji (not sure whether I spelled that correctly). Not only did I love the over-the-top performance by Brett Weaver, but also the way the character was written.

I mean, imagine if, when Kensuke Aida grew up, he finally got a chance to pilot a giant robot. I think that might be the best description of this character's comedic zeal. I love the fact that he changed his name from Jiro Yamada (even though it sounds like "Hero") to something more befitting a classic giant robot pilot from the seventies, claiming it was 'the name that belongs to his soul'. Downright poetic if you ask me.

In some ways I even saw a little of myself in him, especially when he tries to introduce everyone on the Nadesico to his favorite anime series. Man, if I had a dime for everytime I did that. Plus, choosing to quote a line from Gekiganger III, as his dying words, even though there's no one else there to even hear him. That's about as hardcore otaku as I can imagine. RIP

The same goes for the "What is your favourite other anime?" topic where most people mention Evangelion.

I'm still quite unfamiliar with anime, but I'll give it a try:
Reki (Haibane Renmei)
Yukino Miyazawa (Kare Kano)
Soichiro Arima (Kare Kano)
Lain Iwakura (Serial Experiments Lain)

Grown men have been known to shit themselves when Johan looks at them (smile not necessary).

Hmm, I like this thread. Instead of spamming multiple characters from animes I like, I'll choose one from each that I watch now and then.

-CC (Code Geass)
-Rena Ryuguu (Higurashi)
-Hiei (YuYu Hakusho)
-Viral (TTGL)
-Trunks (Dragonball Z)
-Nico Robin (One Piece)
-Urahara Kisuke (Bleach)

With big Shonen animes I tend to like the more underrated characters for some reason.
