Any list that has Captain Goto in the top 10 is a fine list by me.
No Jet Black from Bebop?
Now that you mention it, that's a bit of a tragedy. I also expected Batou to be a lot higher, but I'm pretty damn happy with Goto and Zenigata being so high on the list.
Jet is super cool, but you have to understand that Cowboy Bebop, while popular in the U.S.A. is consider a mediocre anime in Japan. It isn't in the spotlight at all over their. Just another anime that won't be looked at again. While here in America, and in many other Western countries, it is a classic.
Mediocre or just plain underrated and overlooked? It has it's fans in Japan too, it just never got mainstream or popular enough. Even in the west it's more of a cult classic, at least these days.
Goto-win!
Goto is the best.
No master Roshi? :/
I'd say Master Roshi falls into the perverted-old-man category.
Even during the times when he donned a suit and tie it didn't stop him from ogling girls or puff-puff.

WHY IS MASTER AIS RANKED 20TH!?
ASIA
No Willibald Joachim Charles Bronson von Merkatz?
not even a sight of any secondary older male characters from FMA(Hughes,Armstrong,Scar,Van Hohenheim,Tucker,King Bradley).(sigh) I mean,the list are some single older guys and having kids out of wedlock.
good list but where is SEAN KONEKONE???
Why is Shin-chan's dad on this list????????????
because he is a fucking hero raising a kid in this modern times.
Needs some Tannin-ossan. Non humanoid gentlemen are still gentlemen!
No rider (fate/zero) or Roberto Katze T_T
Some great names made it onto this list. But what about Golgo?
What?? No Yujiro Hanma or Orochi Doppo??
I can think of several old guys "cool" and "manly". Then, when you add "refined" I have a little more trouble...
Alex Louis Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist? No one mentioned him, really? When I saw the title of this article, I expected to see him in the top 5. Sad.
The butler guy from they are my noble masters....
It's refreshing to see a list like this for once, but the lack of Kenshiro or anyone from HnK... not even in the comments (well, besides one mention)... my jaw is dropped. It just doesn't make any sense.
souma's dad should be in there. ASURA.
I seriously don't get batou. He may be... classy, but all I remember him for is being Motoko's Toyboy.
Didn't you watch the awesome episode dedicated to him in SAC?
then watch innocence.
Just "remember, you've gotta be a real man to wear tights!"

No King Bradley...
Bradley is a fucking tool
He killed a tank while armed with nothing but a sword and a grenade. The tank was also FLEEING from his Wrath! How is that not cool?
Kenshiro did it while still in his teens... Barehanded.
So that does not count.
No Old-Man Netero from HxH, either. Actually FMA could have at least three entries on this list, now that you mention it. This a suck-list.
good thing they choose Rayleigh.
He is mostly manly older guys in entire anime.
most of these guys I wouldn't classify as OLD guys anyways.
What about Himura Kenshin master? Hiko Seijuro! He is in the considered as the best decade for a man, very educated, powerful as fuck and very macho, he even is a heavy sake drinker. And... Nah, forget him, he is never shown with a female "partner".
Surprised Rayliegh beat out Edward Newgate
Funny how for Ramba Ral picture of Mr.Ral from Gundam Build Fighters is used :V It's... little faily?
charles zi brittania should top this
oh no another list...
he might not be in the top, but at least he's in this list
UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST!
even MADAO defeated him. this list is a complete bull
yet another list full of mostly shit nobody cares about.
2 was crazy, and 9 is whipped and afraid of his boss, i dont get this list
cos being beta is manly among japs ?
