Male Characters: all of my favorites die, excessively smoke, or are evil.

Female Characters: the straight man of the group.

I like everyone who doesn't scream KAWAI!!!

HAHA you made ma laugh today : D

Vegeta , Goku from dbz , quite different but like both styles of characters they have :D

I like the characters with some attitude (Sanzo from Saiyuki) or funny characters. Generally I'm not so fast in really liking a character nor disliking a character.

Though I hate Risa (if that is her name) from DNangel. She really annoys me.

those that are considered to be "villains" but truly aren't ..they have both bad and a bit of a good side to them
also mysterious
as for girls the ones that actually have power and are not just there..lol
idk how to explain it :p

princess type

tsundere
yandere
long hair guys
evil guys and girls

Don't know if I have a type.

But Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke) is my favourite anime character. He's so noble, has a strong mind, and is very determined.

My favourite anime character is Kenshin himura. :D
He is innocent, caring, determined, strong and a good friend. He's the ultimate character I've ever seen on anime or movies.
Others, I love Gaara from Naruto, and Negi too lol.
