Several rounds of voting and tens of thousands of (presumably fujoshi) votes have finally yielded the nearest thing to a definitive ranking of the popularity of 2011’s crop of male characters, a class of character which seems to have received quite a boost in 2011.

2. Barnaby Brooks Jr (Tiger & Bunny) [804]
3. Okabe Rintaro (Steins;Gate) [792]

5. Ichinose Tokiya (Uta no Prince-sama) [486]

Bullshit. I call shenanigans on this entire list.
Lacks my husbando Kariya Matou.
I LOLed because…
1. Only for 1 minute.
2. As long as he isn’t chasing after Kotetsu… So yeah.
3. Approved.
4. Very shonen hero.
5. WTF? He is a fabulous idol, not hero, he can’t even save himself from a fall D:.
6. Only in the background.
7. Woot? He is the anti-hero. The (tragic) hero is Kariya.
8. Yeah.
9. Carnival Phantasm proves if you are Lancer be it the 4th or 5th grail war your fate is to get a painful death with no honor.
10. Who is that?
Wait, So Bunny > HOUOUIN KYOUMA!!!??? LolFujoshi, yeah right.
This is refreshing to see a list not dominated by teenage boys.
