Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho is the most magnificent man to ever bless the screen of anime, btw. I don't care what anyone says. That is not a joke, Kuwabara is the coolest ************ from that show. Hiei, emo goth punk... Kurama? Gay. Yusuke? Typical main character punk. Kuwabara? Awesome. And he bones Hiei's sister.

Kaneda
and
Colonel Shikishima.
Kaneda because, well, he's Kaneda. One of the few hero's with normal abilities and a vaguely human personality.
The Colonel because despite being portrayed as a bad guy to begin with, he's only ever trying to the right thing. Which is depressingly rare even in fiction.
Not Manga/Anime at all but
Harris and Malloy from the Ten Seconders. (it's still a comic)
A Priest and a Welshman save the world from angry Gods with nothing but swearing, luck and two grenades attached together with string.

Light Yagami. A good villain is one you can sympathize with, but this time I wanted the villain to win. He's also an evil genius, not the kinds that build mechs and other war machines from hell, but one who can prove just how smart he is by showing us his thought process and getting himself out of trouble with the world's smartest detective.
Huh? Whats funny?Ares Tyr post=18.69083.649881 said:
I know the characters from Dragonball aren't exactly brilliant, but I've only seen bits of it and Piccolo struck me as one of the better ones.
Shino Aburame from Naruto.
The only one out of a whole ninja village that actually kind of behaves like a ninja should.
Quiet. Calculating. And not so full of his ego in the belief that everyone else is below him that it inevitably leads to him getting beaten to a pulp.

I'm tempted to say Near from Death Note... but the anime counterpart was poorly done.
Same with Fruits Basket, though I guess Shigure survived the Animemization.

Screw Piccolo, Mr Popo and Yajirobe win as one is basicly a Jack Black role waiting to happenwewontdie11 post=18.69083.649646 said:
and the other is the most racist character I've ever seen on TV
I can't say I'm into all this new age anime lark. Samurai Champloo is about as modern as I get nowadays. But with that...
Vash the Stampede; though he is a huge parody of the old gun slinging anti-hero archetype, I felt his shortcomings made him a little more human than most characters.
Spike Spiegel; He is the very definition of cool. Even with that silly hair.
Briareos Hecatonchires; because ex-human cyborgs with bunny ears are always cool when you're 5 years old.
