[Grengo]

No particular order, though I still felt like beginning from 10 and ending at 1.

10. Zuko (Avatar) - Angsty young fellow, yeah, but he's definitely one of the most complicated characters in the show and his resolve/determination/indomitable spirit is (or are <.<) highly admirable. Plus his fights kick ass and his burn mark makes him look cool.

9. Shikamaru Nara (Naruto) - Slick, smart, and easygoing, Shika is a great character overall. It's great to see that, even though he's a lazy fellow, he takes great responsibility over the well-being of his comrades and WILL put his life on the line in order to save them. The recent chapters involving him have shown just well-done a character he is.

8. Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass) - Take a little bit of the best of Light, a bit more of V, mix them together and add in a unique flavor and you have Lelouch. Out of this entire list, he's probably the slickest character around. I like how he's very much an anti-hero, but isn't as delusional, insane, or coldhearted as Death Note's Light. Lelouch cares for the people around him (he seems to have trouble expressing this concern via words, though) and does what he does not just for himself, but for the oppressed and the weak.

7. Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop) - Spike is pretty much an anime legend. Calm, level-headed, and slick, he's the epitome of cool.

6. Neji Hyuuga (Naruto) - He was the star of my favorite fight in Naruto (versus 'Spiderman' <.<) and he is pretty much the master of my favorite fighting style in the series. Don't know how to explain, but Neji is just one excellent character (despite his not being around for a while).

5. Sokka (Avatar) - The resident joker of the Avatar series, Sokka's humor isn't the only redeeming trait about him. In a world full of Benders (a world full of Futurama's Bender would be good too), Sokka's complete inability to bend any element may be cumbersome, but he more than makes up for this with his wit, creative genius, and instinct. Plus the guy's a bit of a lady's man.

4. Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - The long suffering straight man to Haruhi's antics, Kyon's "average joe" persona is probably the funniest and most endearing of the series. He also makes one helluva' narrator.

3. Mugen (Samurai Champloo) - C'mon, he's Mugen. Do I really need to explain?

2. Archer (Fate / Stay Night) - The guy is friggin' badass incarnate. A great design, an awesome anime fight (which was actually <i>downplayed</i>, from what I hear, compared to whatever the game it was based on), and his super technique, Unlimited Blade Works, is probably my favorite skill in all of anime.

1. Ryoga Hibiki (Ranma 1/2) - The eternally lost boy with the corazon de oro d(d) Ryoga is the main reason I started to get into Ranma 1/2 as he brought a lot of life, humor, and an excellent rivalry into the series (Ukyo too). What's also neast about him is that his depressed emo kid schtick is fuel for his strongest attack. All hail Mr. Hibiki.

[M1abrams]

Alright I guess I'll give this a shot!!!

1: Naruto, but then again...you were expecting someone else in my number one slot?

2: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bleach) Common have you seen his freakin sword!? How could I not think Ichigo kicks some majo ass

3: Amuro Ray (Mobile Suit Gundam) Corney...yes...bad hairdue? Oh hell yeah, but still its Amuro and he is the numba one Newtype as far as I'm concerned. He is a Zaku's worst nightmare.

4: Edward Elric (FMA) Automail...thats all I have to say really. If Automail were real, I lob my right arm off just so I could have some. Oh wait...that doesnt sound right

5: Gaara, he's was a physo, but turned out to be one of the good guys in the end. I always thought Gaara was an excelent character from the beginning...though a little creepy.

6: Roy Mustang (FMA) Fire...Fire....Fire?!!

7: Kon (Bleach) A talking stuffed animal, whats not to like.

8: Inu Yasha, I loved the series but lost interest in it when it started to chase its own tail. The 4th movie, though decent. Was kinda Inu Yasha's Shark Jump, its over for the Anime series, taped dry. But the manga I hear is still going strong...maybe I will pick it up again sometime.

9: Spike!!!! (Cowboy Bebop) What a show, guns, women, and spaceships. I was all set, and Spike made it that much better.

10: Sasuke, I know your asking yourself what is this Emo doing in my top ten list. Well I know even that most people despise Sasuke, I still think he's a great character. Atleast worthy of my top ten...even if he is a prick.

8. Mugen (Samurai Champloo) - guy kick's butt, enough said
