I normally don't complain about these lists, but seriously? No Spike Spiegel? Really?
were getting old
Old as shit, massively overrated, popular with people who don't like anime, not the anime kids who populate the shit site these numbers come from.
Honestly not sure what you said there... could you clarify?
I'm pretty sure he meant that Cowboy Bebop is an old as shit, overrated anime and only popular with people who don't like anime in the first place...
You want the pitchfork or the torch?
Cowboy bebop IS overrated. The sao of the older generation.
Wow, this is some top tier trolling. The attempt to compare Bebop to SAO especially. Nicely done, guys.
The list probably was by a lot of young people.
Internet has no memory. If an I.P. (in this case a manga or anime) didn't get a new release in last 10 years (at best), It's like It simply never existed. So that's why on all these polls, great characters like Alucard, Onizuka Sensei, Lupin, Spike, Vash The stampede, Ryoma nagare, Haruko Haruhara or Lain Iwakura are missing.
I'm not sure why people get so worked up about these fucking lists. They often have extremely limited sample sizes clearly biased towards younger generations and more recent anime. It's not a comprehensive survey of the history of anime, nor is it intended to be.
The list is based on MAL favorite count (lolresearch) which doesn't normalize for sheer viewer numbers of a series, and will have a userbase skewed by the website lifespan.
Adjusting the data along, say, view count on a stream site or DVD sales or something would return a frequency value for "Often Considered Interesting" instead of this popularity contest.
If you really want to play with data, find a way to scale number weights using series season count, character appearance episodes, or even character airtime.
My generation is vanishing fast...
Well, at least i didn't need to berate people for electing Shinji as a "favorite" or a "guy".
It's not Shinji people like, it's the series.
Evangelion is cool, but Shinji is a prick.
Shinji is the vast majority of people that have watched Evangelion.
You mean he's a whiny self absorbed little shit who can only get off fapping to a comatose girl in a hospital bed? ;-p
Decent list
Where'S Batou from GITS <.<
Right BEHIND YOU!
Sankakucomplex should do their own lists and polls, d ammit!
So that haters under the guise of anonymous can vote with their a rmpit!
At least no Sasuke, but missing quite a few classics.
Thank god for that.
A list like this without Harima Kenji on it is objectively incorrect.
Yeah, we need more generic ecchi shows on here.
In what universe is School Rumble generic or ecchi? I don't think you know what those words mean.
lol what
@11:54 School Rumble is definitely comedy but nowhere is it ecchi other than some mild fan service thrown in.
So, where are all the scantily clad pics of the characters..? Literally, every ranking ever shown here that somehow includes female characters are accompanied by said characters having close-to-nude pics, IF not nude, even though the ranking is hardly related to that. Why are they missing here, then..? The main site certainly has images of that type, and not few.
...oh, I forgot: mostly male-populated site. Me and my equality ramblings, eh..? Silly me, silly me.
Q.Q
Who, me..? Why..? I am a straight man.
Straight like a katana?
Open your own site and fill It with scantily clad pics of male characters and fully dressed female characters. I promise I won't enter to complain about the pics, or better, I promise I won't enter.
Then the exact same problem is present, but backwards. That does not help.
OMG Guys have a space i feel left out in... must invade and correct them to make it equal!
-_- please leave or shut up, if you dont like it dont click it visit it or interact with it.... this is not a hard thing to do
It sounds like you seem to think you are talking to a woman. I am afraid you must be corrected on that. One does not need to be a woman to point the obvious fact stated here.
Nope! The problem will dissapear as long you stay on your site and don't come here to complain about everything.
Start tagging your yaoi shit properly then we'll talk.
But it IS tagged properly here, no..?
When yaoi pictures are a few days old and still not tagged properly that's a problem. I have a list of blacklisted tags for this and none of them have been used.
Where's Guts/Gatts from Berserk? He's better than any of these bitches...
Yep. Not mainstream enough, though.
I hate all these people, wtf.
pft seriously ? no kamina ?
Good. Fuck gurren lagann.
This is pretty much an outline for the anime that most Americans born after 85 were exposed to. All that's missing is Dragon Ball Z, Cowboy Bebop, and Gundam Wing.
we could have a list of top 5,000 male characters and someone would be fucking mad that some character was left off the list.
Steins gate surprised me. Outside of that. Not a single character surprised me. These are very popular mainstream titles so it makes sense. they are also very recent and some have been airing/aired for quite a while
Wait, why is Kirito on the male list?
at least Lelouch is top XD
You say that like it's a good thing.
This list is worse than ten holocausts.
I rate this comment 1939 /1945
I rate this comment historically inaccurate
