Tommy071095 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Who do you think is the most interesting in all anime,and why that character.To start off,I think that Shinji Ikari from NGE is perhaps the most interesting character in anime,because he is just such a layered character from a psychological standpoint and I think he is unlike any other protagonist in anime.He is not an all powerful bad ass that punishes evil-doers,nor is he really an anti-hero like Light Yagami or Lelouch Lamperouge/Vi Britannia.What Shinji is,is perhaps the realiest character in anime,a flawed,damaged and insecure 14 year old boy unlike anything that I have personally seen in anime.

Lenalee33 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 For me it would have to be Adam/The Millennium Earl from D. Gray-Man. Main reason I think this is because he's a confusing and complicated guy when it comes to being antagonist. At the beginning of the series, you see him as a heartless monster that only wants to make akuma so he can destroy all humans and get rid of innocence. Later on though, you start seeing his kinder side. He starts acting like he's an actual person, and starts worrying about Allen, who turns out to have a Noah inside of him. He even sends two people to help Allen when he's getting attacked. He's just a complicated character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hmmm its a hard one as people can find people interesting for a lot of reasons.I'd say some of the ones I ofund more interesting were Mustang and Scar from FMA ( They're personalities and motivations kept changing throughout the series which made them very interesting). Onizuka in GTO was also an incredibl interesting character as he moved from the serious to the comedic almost seemlessly and his character was all over the place in an interesting way, but held together by his strong desire to be a teacher/do the right thing. Add into that the whole cast of Cowboy Bebop who had more layers than an onion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ininja56 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think Lelouch is, because of his actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy071095 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think Lelouch is, because of his actions.Lelouch would be a close second in my opinion.Love his dramatic speeches as zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the reason i personally can't stand the english dubbed Evangelion. See, the in original, Shinji sounds human, and it is totally acceptable for a young boy to be scared, to be shy, to try avoid the grand responsibility they try to put on his shoulders. In original, you feel like supporting him. In English version, Shinji whines. He totally whines. Whatever he says it comes out like he's a spoilt crybaby who hates his duties and people in general.Personal opinion: Evangelion should be watched subbed and Shinji really is a deep character.

Whatever he says it comes out like he's a spoilt crybaby who hates his duties and people in general.Personal opinion: Evangelion should be watched subbed and Shinji really is a deep character.I'm glad you agree.However,I did watch the dubbed version as I don't like the subbed versions of anime and I didn't really think he sounded like a "spoilt crybaby who hates his duties and people in general".To me he sounded like a troubled teenager who has problems social interaction and due to his childhood has number of social and psychological issues.Then he is thrown into a situation where he quite litterally has the fate on mankind on his shoulders,like he didn't already have enough problems. I think the reason why so many people who have watched the series hate Shinji,is because he is different to other protagonists in anime.For example,Naruto had a troubled childhood and has to deal with similar problems to Shinji,but it motivates him to become to stronger.When you think about it realistically for moment,Shinji is actually more realistic than other protagonists in anime like Naruto.Many people who suffer from social isolation and have trouble with realtionships so decide to shut themselves off humanity,become damaged,insecure people,while very few in reality use that situation to motivate them like Naruto. To paraphrase I think Shinji is a deep character,because he is a realistic representation of a human and how most of us would react in his situation.

Tommy071095 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yup, I bet lots of people dont have any problems with dub. Maybe for me it was the case when you cant stand the translation after having watched the original. Maybe I just dont like Spike Spencer or how he impersonates Shinji. Anyway, it's quite subjective.Nothing to add, really. NGE is an awesome work.It is pretty awesome.Did you prefer episode 25 and 26,or End Of Evangelion?

shyguysteve Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 L, from death note.Death not the series was interesting because its about the bad guy, while its most popular characters L is forever in mystery. unless you search stuff on him other wise you wouldn't know xDL's name, his past, his up-bringing... its all a mystery. Definitely L for me is the most interesting character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Haruhi Suzumiya seems very interesting. She's very random most of the time but she is able to reach the impossible which I love about her, would love to meet her in the real world it would make my life so much more interesting =).

†Anras Rune Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Treize Kushrenada....by far....he is the unsung hero of the entire Gundam Wing series. His character is deep in so many ways, he doesnt allow himself to be left open emotionally yet has a closed romance with Lady Uno. He is by far the best combat pilot in the series yet he prefers to allow others to shine, and guides them on the path to enlightenment. He has an immense respect for his enemies, something that is very rare in most series. ALSO he literally controls the entire series up until he dies and still the world follows his path...

J-Lord Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Itachi Uchiha - He always seems to be able to keep his cool and fights very well. He has an unpredictability about him that makes it fun to watch.(This is from what I have seen of him in the naruto anime. I have not seen past ep 112.)
