Um...that picture ain't showing up GSF. 

[gunswordfist]

I don't know what you are talking about.

[The Shadow Gentleman]

A bit late to the game, but here's my favorite anime/manga heroes at the moment



Honorably mentions: Kamina, Nia/Anna, Satsuki, and Milly Thompson.

I'm sure once I watch/read/finish certain series that you guys talk about a lot I'll be able to add a few more.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Great list! Especially glad to see Yoshitsune on there. 

[The Shadow Gentleman]

Great list! Especially glad to see Yoshitsune on there. 

Thanks! 

Yeah, Yoshitsune is currently my favorite character from 20th Century Boys, although since I've yet to finish it, that may change. We'll see... 

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Great list! It looks like you have all of the main cast for YYH except for Hiei.

I do like Hiei a lot as a character as well, but he's not quite one of my top 5 favorites from the series itself. My top 5 YYH characters are actually:

1. Kurama (forgot to put him on my list, but he belongs there)
2. Yusuke
3. Sensui
4. Genkai
5. Kuwabara

[LumRanmaYasha]

Two more weeks...just two more weeks. 

My top 5 YYH characters are actually:

1. Kurama (forgot to put him on my list, but he belongs there)
2. Yusuke
3. Sensui
4. Genkai
5. Kuwabara

Heh, I figured as much! 

E-K, you have just given me an idea...

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Alright, I'll do everything starting from AnJ2, since I already did YYH. I probably can't do 5 for each list, though.

Ashita no Joe 2:

1. Joe Yabuki
2. Yoko Shiraki
3. Carlos Rivera
4. Gondo Goromaki (they expanded his one-off role from the manga, and IMO he's a great character)
5. Danpei Tange

Keep in mind that the only reason Rikiishi is not on my list is because he's a more prominent character in Part I of the story, which this anime unfortunately doesn't cover.

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid:

1. Sousuke Sagara
2. Kaname Chidori
3. Gates

If I was counting the entire series instead of just this season, my list would look quite different.

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket:

Honestly I like everyone from the relatively small cast. If I had to pick a single favorite, it'd probably be Steiner Hardy.

Great Teacher Onizuka:

1. Eikichi Onizuka
2. Yoshito Kikuchi
3. Urumi Kanzaki
4. Kunio Murai (mostly for his chemistry with Onizuka)
5. Azusa Fuyutsuki

Trigun:

1. Nicholas D. Wolfwood
2. Legato Bluesummers
3. Vash

Hunter X Hunter (1999):

1. Killua Zoldyck
2. Leorio
3. Chrollo Lucifer
4. Kurapika
5. Hisoka

Cowboy Bebop:

1. Jet Black
2. Spike Spiegel

I like everyone else about the same, much like with Gundam 0080.

Digimon Tamers:

1. Impmon/Beelzemon
2. Henry Wong/Terriermon
3. Takato/Guilmon
4. Janyu Wong (easily the best "parent" character in the Digi-verse)
5. Rika/Renamon

For this list, I hope that pairing Tamers with their Digimon isn't considered cheating. It's just that the whole point of this series (when it was still a good franchise) was that the Digimon was supposed to compliment their partner, and much of the best characterization and development came from the pairs interacting with one another.

Hajime no Ipo:
1. Mamoru Takamura
2. Kamogawa Genji
3. Takesh Sendo
4. Makanouchi Ippo
5. Eiji Date

[LumRanmaYasha]

Keep in mind that the only reason Rikiishi is not on my list is because he's a more prominent character in Part I of the story, which this anime unfortunately doesn't cover.

Yeah, that's why I didn't put him on my list too. If we're talking about the whole story, though, he'd be #4.

Great Teacher Onizuka:

1. Eikichi Onizuka
2. Yoshito Kikuchi
3. Urumi Kanzaki
4. Kunio Murai (mostly for his chemistry with Onizuka)
5. Azusa Fuyutsuki

That's about how I'd rank them too, though Uchiyamada is honestly my second favorite character in GTO after Onizuka himself.

[The Shadow Gentleman]

Great list! It looks like you have all of the main cast for YYH except for Hiei.

I do like Hiei a lot as a character as well, but he's not quite one of my top 5 favorites from the series itself. My top 5 YYH characters are actually:

Yeah, I like Hiei too, just not as much as the rest of the main cast. In fact, YYH is one of the few shows where I don't dislike any of the main cast.

[gunswordfist]

Ah, a Chrollo fan.

Rewatching most of Chapter Black has made Kuwabara seem alright to me but besides that, I like everyone else.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Courtesy of Vlord, look at what arrived for me 10 days early ~!



If I was at home right now I would marathon through that thing until my eyes bled. The school year really just can't end fast enough.

A bit late to the game, but here's my favorite anime/manga heroes at the moment



Honorably mentions: Kamina, Nia/Anna, Satsuki, and Jonathan Joestar.

I'm sure once I watch/read/finish certain series that you guys talk about a lot I'll be able to add a few more.

Awesome picks.

Discotek will release The Castle of Cagilostro on blu ray sometime later this year or in early 2015.

Sweet! The movie should look great in blu ray quality.

I'm also looking forward to Discotek's releases of the first 5 Dr. Slump films in July. Haven't been able to see much of either anime of the series, so seeing those'll be a real treat for me.
