On the top 25 anime characters list, #25 Shinji? Were they idiots when they made that list?
Nah. They just don't know much about anime

That list is very PressReleaseNetwork-ish...

Course, it ends up being based on IGN's opinion rather than the true fans' opinion. I wonder if the public is allowed to vote on IGN's top lists. If they do, we all would make Shinji in a higher ranking
SPOILER: Show
Think about it: the fact that he never gave up fighting inside an EVA, defeatng many giant monsters and facing a giant Rei all alone without back-up took a helluva lot of guts to face. Plus, on top of that, he witnessed his mother dying; then Gendo Ikari stopped giving care to his own son after that incident, but ended up using Shinji as a tool for NERV and cares more on Rei than Shinji (real reason comes later in the show). This is why Shinji is, what IGN refers him to but I won't consider calling him that, "a giant wuss", because his life was a shatter and is afraid of his future. This also become a life or death situation. I would commit suicide if that were to happen. (not really) I'm even surprised that a 14 year old is doing an adult's job. Shame on IGN for not fully realizing this.

There's a reason lists are in general a joke and this is why. When you start putting things in order of quality it's only natural people will disagree.
I'm sure if we were to go to a different anime forum- let's say that crappy moeblob Lucky Star- I'm sure there's people there whining how IGN didn't put one of their characters at the top of the list.
Just enjoy lists for the relatively stupid thing they are. Really the best thing to come out of lists is informing people of things they weren't aware of.

This was done by professionals?
I know IGN is incredibly biased, but this seems like it was designed with endless argumentation in mind.

It'd just be nice to know what the criteria were. It can't be by basis of impact nor solely on popularity, since I can think of a few characters right off that would have been on THAT list, and it can't be on how original, controversial, etc either. If it was some strange mish-mash of criteria then it'd be great if they spelled out how they factored all this stuff into play, but really, the whole list looks incredibly arbitrary and based solely on "what the (most of) the fans probably think", along with spattering a few old sk00lers like Lupin, Astro Boy, and Speed Racer in as an attempt to provide some misplaced sense of validity that the list obviously lacked.Gendo'sPapa wrote:When you start putting things in order of quality it's only natural people will disagree.
all they said was
...which really doesn't say anything at all. I don't mean to shit on "greatest thing evar lists", but really, this one is so much of a joke that it's rediculous.Our criteria for selection involved a little bit of everything – each character's lasting fame, the impact they had on the medium and their particular genre at the time, the depth and quality of their realization on screen, and of course, a little bit of personal taste. Everyone out there has their own damned opinion, of course, so have a look at ours, and then feel free to share yours afterwards.

IGN created & compiled it, so it wasn't just some fan vote thing if that's what you're asking. What kind of professionals are you looking for?- ran1

I wasn't sure if it was done by the editors of the site or the IGN members.
