Sauce got ROBBED

I guess it's because shippuden hasn't aired in the States yet.

The list needs more courage.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Also: this list lacks Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo!

Bobobo is a delusional homeless man suffering from brain lesions that cause erratic grand mal seizures telling stories to the pebbles he's been naming after state capitals, and the ending is when he wakes up to the sound of a street urchin caving in his skull with the tin cup he uses to collect the money no one gives him for his medicine.

You entered the thread so you're one of us whether you like it or not.

 

[NotWii]

This list is an abomination

Everyone knows Osaka from Azumanga Daioh is the best!

 

[olimpia84]

No Saint Seiya = FAIL

Plus Pikachu should have been in the top 3

 

[JayDubya]

Any character whose name cannot be stated without the syllable "Bo" repeated ad nauseum is clearly inferior.

 

[gdt]

Ok, who's the bigger icon, Goku or Pikachu?

Oh shi-

 

[daemonic]

I'm still laughing at Ichigo being on this list.

This. They must have run out of series to choose from.

 

[Rewrite]

Ok, who's the bigger icon, Goku or Pikachu?

Oh shi-

Goku. That yellow rat could die for all I care. I detest Pikachu, but I also acknowledge his iconic image.

 

[Samara]

Taught everyone had forgotten about Sailor Moon. Was a huge fan when I was a little girl. All that instant nail polish and short skirt who wouldn't :lol

Light Yagami is a little too far back. Good to see Spike at number 3 tho

 

[Dr.Acula]

WTF, not one character from Lum?

 

[ChoklitReign]

Pikachu's a worthless rat. The video game came first, not the anime. The West has been shilling out cartoons of stupid toys and video games for years before Pokemon. Replace him/her with Kenshiro.

 

[Gospel]

WTF, not one character from Lum?

If it makes you feel better, I will post Lum and let the rest of the anime nerds splooge over it.

Splooge.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Kenshiro says that the IGN staff is already dead.

 

[fallagin]

There are a ton of anime characters out there, but I'm a little surprised that Char isn't on the list.

 

[Dresden]

Naruto and Ichigo ahead of Luffy? Wut?

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

I guess it's because shippuden hasn't aired in the States yet.

The list needs more courage.

Giant robots have fallen out of favor to my disappointment with mankind.

Now it's all loli-rape bullshit, you motherfuckers.

All of you.

Motherfuckers.

Sasuke may be tougher and Kakashi may be cooler and Deidara may be…well, blonde-er, or whatever it is people see in him, but the show could go without them in a pinch. It couldn't go on without the would-be Sixth Hokage, though, which is why he snags this spot on the list.

I loved this quote from Naruto's description. IGN obviously isn't up to date on "Sasuke". :lol :lol :lol

 

[Stat Flow]

Goku, the best and most badass anime character EVER, is number 1.

Everything is okay with me.

 

[DJ Crimson]

Ranma would totally fuck up all those characters.

Wow they said this?

Itachi >>>>> Sasuke >>>>>>>>>> Naruto

Spoiler

The way the manga is going, they should just call it "Uchiha" or "Sasuke," Naruto has become nothing more than a whining bitch.

I can't believe they said the show could go on with Sasuke.

 

[Tamanon]

Eh, I actually like Naruto the most when he's not in full-on whine mode. Although I hated him at first, he really seems to be one of the few Jump characters to actually change as the story goes on.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Goku deserves it. Rest of the list sucks and isn't worth talking about.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Oh wow.

 

[projectkuro]

Naruto and Ichigo ahead of Luffy? Wut?

This.

 

[Krev]

This shit is so broken.



Oh, so it's not even a character ranking, it's a pop contest.

Here's what happens to the list when you take out the vacuous, one-dimensional characters:

Spike Spiegel
Motoko Kusanagi
Shinji Ikari

Great job, assholes.

Yes.

It's just as bad as every IGN list, really.

 

[LazyLoki]

Totoro is on the list, everything else is just tiny details.

 

[karasu]

Goku is a goofy dumbass. If you want a badass, you list kenshiro.

 

[Geneijin]

Totoro is on the list, everything else is just tiny details.

Edit: darn Photobucket

 

[Smiles and Cries]

what to say? what to say?

damn predictable, bad taste in anime, fuck that list sucks...

 

[Acid08]

Seriously, no characters from FLCL?

 

[Raging Spaniard]

This list is awful

I think Dragon Ball is a fine manga and all, but to award best character to somebody with no development whatsoever and give us the excuse of "well hes teh most powahful being in existenz lol!" I mean throughout the whole series the character does not change or go trough anything at all, hell he barely shows emotion as it is! Only in the last arc of the series does he show some shades of grey ...

List seems made by a fair weather anime fan.

 

[Stat Flow]

Goku is a goofy dumbass. If you want a badass, you list kenshiro.

Fuck you. Goku was goofy and was still a God. And when he came around serious shit he owned everyone.

Edit: And besides #1, the list sucks. Although +1 Respect for Kenshin up there.

 

[jett]

well...Lupin made it in there at least, my favorite.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Gene Starwind

 

[Snaku]

Goku, the real Goku (not the Superman English dub version), is easily top 5 material. I have absolutely no issue with him being number one.

But Rei Ayanami? How could you even call that a character?

 

[Femmeworth]

Fame is a big part of it? Well, that explains a lot.

 

[birdman]

That list is sorely lacking in badass, like so:

Great Gundam, or greatest Gundam?

 

[Dresden]

But Rei Ayanami? How could you even call that a character?

She did set the tone for the next twenty years, though. Almost every depressed, emotionless female character has blue hair and red eyes, or some variation of it. Rei's design was influential and she did have a character, although that got killed halfway through the series with a n2 mine. :lol

 

[Atilac]

list is void: no flcl characters

 

[karasu]

Fuck you. Goku was goofy and was still a God. And when he came around serious shit he owned everyone.

FUck YOU! He didn't own anything. He made a bunch of shitty decisions while his friends died so he could make a spirit bomb or whatever. A fucking cow has more of a strategic mind than that guy. Take away his senzu steroids, his gimmicky time travel training, and the magic wishes that bring him back to life after his many failures and the guy couldn't beat Daniel-san from The Karate Kid. He's the ultimate loser.

You don't see greatness.

You can never see greatness.

R.I.P. your ability to see greatness.







:lol

This statement made think what would a IGN top 20 gundams of all time be like.

Random comments...

1. Goku

The guy is an archetype unto himself, so if we're talking Most Influential characters then yeah, he deserves to be pretty high up even if he did go on to do DBZ.

4. Spike Spiegel

<Matlock>AKA Lupin.</Matlock>

9. Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon)

Reinvented a genre, so yeah.

10. Rei Ayanami (Evangelion)

Poured gasoline on the wish fulfillment fire.

12. L (Death Note)

HE'S QUIRKY AND WEIRD

15. Arsene Lupin III (Lupin the Third)

Waaay too low.

18. Light Yagami (Death Note)

Swimming master who elevated the art of chip eating? Ok, I'll buy it.

21. Vegeta (Dragonball)

Ok, he's badass enough.

22. Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)

AKA Goku.

23. Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)

AKA Light.

... no Ataru Moroboshi, or hell, any other Takahashi character?

 

[vas_a_morir]

No Lum or Ranma characters = Fail.

I am a big Rumiko Takahashi fanboy, and even then, I applaud for not putting that shit titular character from Inuyasha.

 

[DanteFox]

This is a pretty decent list. Goku at number 1 means that at least it doesn't automatically fail since it got the #1 spot correct. I'd have chosen this man as the naruto character on the list though:

oh yeah and Totoro also makes this list credible.
