I would have gone with one not on the list, but then I saw Spike and realised I would have been wrong.

Spike is every cool-trope rolled into one. He is Han Solo, Bruce Lee, and the Fonz. He wins.

stupid escapist making my post disappear and reappear

I voted other, Alucard from Hellsing.
Because more often then not he's simply toying with his enemies.

Having recently started watching Soul Eater, I would say Maka (She's F****ING AWESOME!). Or possibly Soul.
Although L is pretty cool.

I could agree with Maka, but I'm going to say Death the Kid over her. Monkey D Luffy as well!

Hmmm I've only seen like 6 episodes so far, but Kid's severe OCD makes him really "uncool" in my eyes. But I guess he has another 45 episodes to convice me otherwise.

I didn't care for him at first either, but he really gets cooler later on. Give him a chance All of the male characters are really flawed in Soul Eater, mainly for comical effect.

 

[Veldel]

Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken
RAOH from Hokuto no Ken

Buu annoyed me to no end. Buu is what made me swear off that series entirely.


I voted for Spike. He didn't put up with shit from anyone, and was a cool guy besides. I could see him rolling a Jaaaaaag in more peaceful times. Vash the Stampede is a close second, but he's a bit too lulzy to truly pull off cool IMO.

Majin Boo is like one of the awesomest villains ever! Everything else DBZ had to offer was lame to me.

Allow me to sum up a typical Buu-saga episode, then.

Seriously, that's it. Nothing but one of the main characters screaming. Shut the fuck up and punch something already, god damn. If it wasn't that, it was filler, and if it wasn't that, it was Buu going "HAha I'm not affected by that" or "LOLZ I REGENERATE", to which the protagonists are all "Y U NO DIE?!". It reminded me of when we were just 5-7 and playing some sort of combat game. "I just shot you!" "No you didn't, I've got magical bullet-proof pants!" "I shot you in the face!" "My glasses caught it".

It was the final straw. Enough was enough. I swore off DBZ at that time and haven't watched a frame of it since. I don't even know how that arc ends, not that I care much. I stopped watching about mid-way through.

Let me sum up a typical DBZ episode... oh wait, you just did it yourself. That's pretty much the WHOLE anime, my friend. At least Majin Boo's antics were more interesting to watch.

If you think it's shit for the same reason I think it's shit then why watch it?


Also, dig back into the seasons. The older the season the less screaming there is. More actual combat, more lame mis-dubbed dialog, less whining, less "Death? What's that? Oh, you mean that thing where my body gets obliterated but I'm back by the time the race is on? Yeah I've had four of those this week alone" bullshit. The show took a HUGE nosedive once Cell was defeated, as if he took the good writers with him.

Because the Majin Boo saga is the only thing I hold dear from DBZ, what with Boo getting overrun by his darker side who immediately wipes out humanity, he absorbes almost every remaining character, becomes more powerful, Goku and Vegeta fuse together to become a super duper all-powerful saiyan, they take a journey inside Boo's body, Boo regresses into his initial form, he detroys the earth and, finally, they fight the final battle on Kayoshin's planet... It's overwhelmingly over-the-top, and Majin Boo is unlike any villain this franchise has ever seen.
That is why I put him on this poll.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken
RAOH from Hokuto no Ken

best of the best, i would add Nicky Larson and Ulysses 31 !

 

[Mr.Petey]

Mizuho from Please/Onegai Teacher

Quoted due the the utter awesomeness of this choice, Mizuho is beyond awesome.

Thank you!! She is isn't she? Cute, shy and honesty all rolled into one loveable gal

 

[Jitte Hoekstra]

First thought alucard from hellsing
Second thought guts from beserk
third thought blade from needless

 

[pyramid head grape]

Reborn-REBORN!
Kid got teh skills.

Reborn kick anyone's ass

BACCANO ANYONE
Specifically Claire Stanfield.

Really only one other person posted about Baccano!
I love next to all the characters is Baccano but Firo stands out the most for me.

Second would be Claire Stanfield.

 

[wetfart]

Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo is clearly the correct the choice.

And I think Buu is the most annoying freak to ever grace any form of fiction in the 14.7 billion years this universe has existed. I would have loved nothing more than some random LA gangster to walk up between a fight, shoot Goku in the testicles, Vegeta in the brain(He'll be fine he never uses it), shoot Buu in the heart, then walk back out of shot as the credits roll. Three rounds, three seconds, saga over, next baddie!

The two of us are going to be the bestest friends in the world XD

 

[Joshimodo]

Spike

Or maybe Gene Starwind.


If anyone says ANYBODY from Death Note, One Piece or Naruto, they need to watch some proper anime.

 

[Adrian Madhog]

BACCANO ANYONE
Specifically Claire Stanfield.

"Ticket, please?"

I'm scared shitless of trains now.

 

[LoFr3Eq]

Onizuka from GTO is by far the coolest.

 

[Arisato-kun]

I'd say anyone from Baccano but there's one character from that show that crushes all the others with pure awesome. And that is Claire Stanfield.

 

[PipPup]

Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. Hands down.
