	Keeper of Mulder's reading glasses, Trowa's circus mask, Dylan's love, and Lagato's real arm It is better to be pissed off then to be pissed on.

Lt. Colonel Posts: 394 Group: Members Member #26 Joined: July 6, 2005	How bout Osaka from Azumanga Diaoh as my fav. female and Lagato from Trigun as my fav. male. (Now I shed a tear for Trowa (GW) Kanami (FMP) whom I did not pick. Sorry guys)

However, I'll list a few of my favorites: - Major Motoko Kusanagi; I also love the Tachikomas (sentient tanks) (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) - Ed and Ein (Cowboy Bebop) - Chloe (Noir) - Deunan Knute (Appleseed)

Pervy VA Fancier Posts: 815 Group: Henchmen Member #8 Joined: May 21, 2005	Well, my lists probably aren't as long as Tomo and NC's so I'll just list all the ones I can think of. Also, I like being long-winded. --Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop) --Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket) --Kyo Sohma (Fruits Basket) --Shigure Sohma (Fruits Basket) --Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) --Mugen (Samurai Champloo) --Miroku (InuYasha) --Sesshomaru (InuYasha) --Zatch (Zatch Bell!) (he's just so damn cute!) --Kaname Chidori (Full Metal Panic!) --Yukino Miyazawa (His and Her Circumstance (also known as Kare Kano)) --Kasuma (s-CRY-ed) --Zolo (One Piece) --Armblast (Kiddy Grade) --Ed Fullmetal Alchemist) (though, Roy Mustang is moving up into that spot the more I watch this show).

He is kinda cute, plus he kicks butt in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. game... By the way, to answer my own question, so far my favorite character is Jin from Samurai Champloo. Okay, so I've only seen one episode, but then, I've only ever seen one or two episodes of anything so far...

Pervy VA Fancier Posts: 815 Group: Henchmen Member #8 Joined: May 21, 2005	Jin is definitely moving up my list as well but due to my horrible weakness for a bad boy, I have to say that Mugen is still my fave.

Pervy VA Fancier Posts: 815 Group: Henchmen Member #8 Joined: May 21, 2005	Hence the reason I love him. You just gotta love a guy like that! It's too funny to not love! LOL (Although, I suspect a LARGE part of the reason I love Mugen deals with the fact that Steve Blum does his voice.)

Pervy VA Fancier Posts: 815 Group: Henchmen Member #8 Joined: May 21, 2005	I suspect that a lot of people subconsciously attach to characters largely due to the voice of that character, whether it be subbed or dubbed. Isn't that so, Tomo? [size=1]coughBrianDrummondcough[/size]

Otoh, I get the feeling this comprises a good portion of his daily activity, so... Aside from killing people from time to time, that is all Mugen ever does (which is actually one of my problems with the show but that's another topic). I can see I really held back compared to some of you. If I have time I'll come up with some more characters.

I don't think I could choose between them. Cute little blond, (Pink in the first series) or the fiesty rocker brunette? Can't choose!
