It's always a pleasure finding out the top 20 Anime Characters of all time, right? but i guess it's not as fun as watching the anime of course, but still, here i wanna present to you the top 20 anime characters of all time, well at least for now, hehe...
I can't help it but hey this is my list and this is what i found on the internet too... what i'm trying to say is that it is too bad the list consist of mostly male characters. Really why can't i think of any more female characters that could be included into this list? if you readers happen to know any female anime character that you thought could be included, please let me know, i'll take a look for sure, and i'll definitely add them into this list if they deserve it.
I really hope this list at least will either entertain you or make you curious and go checkout their anime series. And one more thing, i quoted some real netizen's opinion about the characters so that you could check out what people have to say.
So here goes the list for you (randomly ordered as usual):
KENSHIN HIMURA
(Rurouni Kenshin & Rurouni Kenshin OVA Series)
Kenshin is a deep character who can only be judged knowing his complete history. One has to appreciate that he has a dark and a light side, that he remained pure in childhood despite having to kill, and in his willingness to repent. Kenshin's influence is unique, in that his high charisma allow him to gather a large group of loyal people. We also see his willingness to go back and complete his education, and his willingness to face the past and resolve issues, as with Enishi. His largest flaw is that he takes everything on his own shoulders, and he compensates for this through his relationship with Kaoru and with his friendships -- otherwise he would lose all will to do anything forever. It is easy to sympathize with and like Kenshin, and extremely difficult to hate him because he's not 100% good and not 100% bad. His priorities are a little off, as we see in the result that his son, Kenji, doesn't like him very much becuase he's always helping save Japan and never home. Still, Kenshin manages to grown and change, even after 15 years of wandering and everything else he's been through. As a character, he's roughly even with Ichigo from 'Bleach.' (Anonymous)
The man said to have had speed that made the gods envy. Himura's pure heart and manslayer side made him relatable to everyone. Of course, none us is secretly a manslayer, but we too have to face our own demons everyday. Perhaps his greatest influence on me was the notion of living to repent one's sins, not dying. (MLB568)
MONKEY D. LUFFY
(One Piece)
He may not be the brightest person on the sea, but his heart is pure solid gold. He would do anything for his nakama, even die if necessary. He is always ready and willing to help and fight for the underdog, the oppressed, and those who cannot defend themselves. He never gives up or backs down until the wrongs are righted, the evil is vanquished, and the hurt and troubled are brought to safety. He is an inspiration to everyone he meets and helps to become stronger people themselves. He is steadfast in his convictions, brave beyond measure, a true, open friend and kindhearted to a fault. He is also one of the most bad-ass warriors in anime - he has honed his rubber body into a fierce fighting machine, creating and perfecting maneuvers that would be impossible for anyone else. You just DON'T mess with Luffy, his nakama, or the innocent, unless you want to get thoroughly thrashed. He uses his strength for the sake of others, not just for his own gains. These reasons, and more, are why he is my absolute number 1 pick. (InnerDemons)
Definitely one of the most popular favorites. He is mad, but he also knows and values his friends. Like all animes, the thing that iconizes Luffy is his ambition. He knows what he wants, and at the same time, he knows that he cannot do it by himself to get there. Hence, he values his friends more than his life. Willing to sacrifice himself to tackle on the most difficult of opponents for his friends. I guess self-sacrifice, the value of friends and determination to win (aka kick the enemy flying) is what inconizes Luffy and what I like him alot. (Stoopider)
GOKU
(Dragon Ball Z)
The Great Hero of my generation. Goku is the strongest character seen in any anime. He haves an incredible amount of physical power, and an eveve greater will power. He cares a lot for his friends and family to the point of being willing to sacrifice him self for them. We get to enjoy a lot of Goku's life in the DB saga, how he is funny, a little clueless, incredibly strong, innocent, a good father, a good friend, calm person, and even if he isn't really one, he is really human.

ZORO RORONOA
(One Piece)
Three sword style, the indestructible Rorona Zoro is truly one of my
favorite bad-asses of all time. But its the back story that moves me
more than the fights. As a youth, he and his greatest rival, also his
best friend, sparred constantly. They swore, one day one of the two of
them would be the greatest swordsman in the world. Before they could
accomplish that, she died in an accident. The simple kind of accident
that reminds you that even the great are mortal. To honor their promise,
he adds her one sword style to his two sword style so that the two of
them can, at least that way, be there together as Zoro fights his way
across the sea to become the greatest. (Shardan)
GON FREEKS
(Hunter X Hunter)
(Hunter X Hunter)
Gon is cool. He is innocent and friendly. He is determined and stubborn. He is a really great friend and prioritizes what's important. He is a role model to everyone, even if he is still kinda young. (silever)
NARUTO UZUMAKI
(Naruto TV Series)
Even though he's usually just a clown, when it comes down to it he will never give up. When he wanted to become braver he went hardcore, stabbed his hand and pledged to become better. He was treated like garbage by everyone as a kid but can still cherish his friends. His friends mean more to him than his life. (Xyphon)
SASUKE UCHIHA
(Naruto)
ICHIGO KUROSAKI
(Bleach)
Ichigo is a character who struggles with being different, and he's
managed to adapt, in a way, to the attention that his hair colour gets,
by being strong enough to deend himself and by getting good grades so he
doesn't get much attention from teachers. Despite his reputation for
gangster-like violence, he is also highly protective and accepting of
most others, as with Sado and Inuoe. When it comes to his Shinigami
power, Ichigo breaks all the rules, rising at such an extraordinary
speed as to rival Byakuya, who slaughtered him initially. What makes
Ichigo a great character is his ability to learn, change, and grow, as
well as his resolve not to give up without a fight. At the same time,
he's not perfect and he knows it. He just compensates for this
successfully, which many other characters in anime do not. He is not
weak or two-dimensional, and at the same time he is not all-powerful.
Overall, Ichigo is a well-rounded character who can still learn, change,
and grow unpredictably, a fact reflected in almost every other Bleach character who stands with him. (Anonymous)
Even though he's so powerful, he's just a teenager, and I feel this is very well conveyed both in manga and anime. He makes a lot of stupid mistakes and it makes him the more human and just plain sweet. ^^ Besides I believe orange-haired guys are just plain cool. (Anonymous)
One of my favourite shounen manga/anime heroes, not only is he tall compared to the usuall 15 year old protoganists, but also carries a huge soul slayer to cut down his enemies, and best of all: he doesnt hesitate to run his enemies through with his if he deems it necessary. (eyesotope)
KENJI HARIMA
(School Rumble)
SPIKE SPIEGEL
(Cowboy Bebop)
