Here's an interesting idea for a favorites thread. Most of the time, a lot of people tend to pick minor characters, villains, supporting characters, etc. as favorites even though oftentimes a lot of work goes into the main character. It's just that in order to not offend everyone, main characters usually end up having a strong appeal for no one. Or at least very few*.
Who are you favorite male and/or female protagonists or (in the case of harems) "main target" characters?
Personally, I think I actually tend to like mains a lot. Here are a few, in no particular order:
Female
Akari from ARIA
Belldandy from Aa! Megami-sama
Arcueid from Tsukihime
Male
Shiki from Shingetsutan Tsukihime
Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN
*Obvious exception to the Nobody Likes Main Characters Rule: Kyon. Everybody likes Kyon.
Female
Kasumi-DOA
Kaoru-RK
Sei-Kaze Hikaru
Yuko-san-xxxHolic
Sakura-Sakura Taisen
Talim-Soul Caliber
Malefisent-Kingdom Hearts & Sleeping Beuty
Miyako-Digimon
Luna-Amazing Agent Luna
Baiken-Giulty Gear
Male
Kenshin-RK
Ryu Hayabusa-DOA & Ninga Gaiden
Okita-Kaze Hikaru
Syaoran-Trubasa
Ogami-Sakura Taisen
Yunson (sp?)-Soul Caliber
Riku-KH
Ken-Dijimon
Anji-Guilty Gear
Tsume-Wolfs Rain
I'm generally not a huge fan of main characters. Although, I'm a far cry from Lisu's MCIDD.
If I had to chose a few (in no particular order):
Female:
Kamio Misuzu - AIR
Kinomoto Sakura - Card Captor Sakura
Takamachi Nanoha - Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha
Male:
Himura Kenshin - Rurouni Kenshin
Oogami Ichiro - Sakura Taisen
Onizuka Eichiki - Great Teacher Onizuka
Females:
Sora - Kaleidostar
Fuu - Samurai Champloo
Lina Inverse - Slayers series
CC - Code Geass
Tanabe - Planetes
Kou Shuurei - Saiunkoku Monogatari
Males:
Ginko - Mushishi
Hiraga-Keaton Taichi - Master Keaton
Onizuka - GTO
Pazu - Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa
In a lot of cases, I simply like main characters because THERE'S NO ONE ELSE, and it's rare for me to like any main character...
