Just here to say, woo Detective Conan!, woo Full Metal Alchemist!, woo One Piece!, and woo Cowboy Bebop! (though it's too low and unrepresented).

What's with this "animu" trend?

It's either anime, or Japanimation.

Nippon cartoons, you mean.

All cool people use animu.

 

[Nachkebia]

Lupin the third is still the best

No one from Berserk....:lol

WTF? seriously? they mad?

 

[CassSept]

What cracks me up is how Mari from the new Eva movie is on there. For what, 15 minutes of screentime, a majority of which was spent with her fighting shit in a giant robot? Lol readers.

That's about the same amount of screentime Kaworu had in the original NGE series and he is on second place in '90s list.

 

[Pein]

me and the japanese don't agree at all

All cool people use animu.

and dopes

Wait, what? As if the list hadn't already commuted enough crimes against sanity!

Oh well, dumb lists are dumb, no surprise here.

Its weird how my tastes are so similar to yours.

 

[Dresden]

That's about the same amount of screentime Kaworu had in the original NGE series and he is on second place in '90s list.

And it's just as ridiculous.

 

[Pein]

And it's just as ridiculous.

well most eva fans are ridiculous so it makes sense

 

[InfiniteNine]

well most eva fans are ridiculous so it makes sense

I won't argue with that since I am ridiculous.

 

[Jex]

Compiling a bunch of different peoples choices into one big lists just makes it seem so inconsistent.

19. Adalbert von Fahrenheit (Galactic Heroes)

This is just weird.

1. Rei Ayanami (Evangelion)

??

6. Nadia (Nadia: Secret of Blue Water)

?????

And then the 2000's, where females were clearly voting on male characters.

1. Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)

2. Kira Yamato (Gundam)

4. Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist)

The hell.

 

[Dresden]

You guys take these things way too seriously. It's Newtype, ridiculousness and pandering is to be expected.

 

[farnham]

new type is obviously way to casual

 

[Pein]

I won't argue with that since I am ridiculous.

[arstal]

Here's the question- what chars would be on that list instead.

I think Rukia from Bleach deserves a mention

Maybe Taiga from Toradora as well

Akari from Aria

Balsa from Moribito (saw above, forgot, definitely deserving)

three suggestions of the top of my head

 

[Wandering Leopard]

No One piece characters?

Oh I just noticed Luffy but he can't be the only one.

No one watched those?

ahhh, it makess absolutely perfect sense now.

 

[Foxix Von]

CLAMPs only involvement in Geass is character design, but it is an interesting show.

Also Asuka at number 3? *kicks over magazine stand*

Sadly... That's apparently all it takes...

 

[Hot Coldman]

It's either anime, or Japanimation.

[Blader]

Some Gundam characters are REALLY awesome though.

I was glad to see Bernie and Chris from 0080 made it on. Love that ova.

 

[GCX]

The best Lupin III related thing came out in 1979, not during 80s.

 

[Iadien]

I can't believe L or Light didn't make the list. I do like Lelouch, but I don't know about #1. Way too much Gundam on there, even if I do enjoy the series. I also like Toua Tokuchi from One Outs, the anime series isn't well known though.

 

[KidA Seven]

Where the fuck is Vash? And how the fuck is Spike #18? And I'm not that much of an Inuyasha fan, but Sesshomaru is a bad ass character.

I'm also surprised Brandon Heat isn't in there. Ehhh, nevermind... it's understandable.
