Another ranking has appeared regarding the tastes of western anime fans, revealing their favorite anime males, and demonstrating that protagonists are unsurprisingly regarded as the more interesting characters as they compose a majority of the list.
The ranking, again based on the number of times the characters in question were added to the “favorite characters” section of MyAnimeList users:
1. Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)
2. L Lawliet (Death Note)
3. Monkey D Luffy (One Piece)
4. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
5. Light Yagami (Death Note)
6. Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate)
7. Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
8. Zoro Roronoa (One Piece)
9. Naruto Uzamaki (Naruto)
10. Kazuto Kirigaya (Sword Art Online)
I would not expect Gintoki to be that high- or be on here at all. I’m glad, though. It’s a great series.
why people are ranting into this, this top is from one of the most popular anime websites. This is the result from 1 million users. This top makes more sense than the others that comes from Japan.
Pff. They clearly didn’t ask very many Westerners over the age of about 18, did they?
But isn’t most of these characters from Shounen, over 18 is already Seinen which is rarely adapted into anime when compared to Shounen titles.
Light would enslave humanity with a tax fee of Shinigami eyes.
Luffy will make us all join his nakamas and go find the one piece.
Naruto willt each us the benefits of friendship and Ramen..yes.
L will therefore steal famous real life Detective’s original jobs
Kirito will expand and recreate The Romantic Age
Zoro shall teach us to wield a sword
Okabe will help us at least time travel and go to alternate ecosystems like Neko Babe Galaxy.
Edward will be used as an especimen by area 51 for an awesome nuclear weapon.
Never watched Code Geass or Gintama sorry ._.
