Top Anime Character Countdown

[aka Cthulhu]

Hey, Cthulhu here. Well, I've always wanted to do a countdown here, and looking at the 221 Superhero/Supervillian Countdown made me decide to do a similar countdown about Anime. Similar, because there's no need to do seperate lists, since many anime these days don't have superhero and supervillian roles.

El Rules:

1. Anime only, and when I say anime I mean animation that comes from Japan.

2. You can send up to thirty for your list, and like any countdown, #1 is worth 30 points and #30 is worth 1 point.

2.1. If you send me more than 30, I'll consider them, but they'll be worth half a point only and if their score won't go higher than .5 then they will be among those that did not make it in the list/countdown.

2.2. If you don't send me a list in order, I will either consider them 1 point each, or I might decide what order they be, if I go crazy.

2.3. Since there's not really a limit, please consider the size of your list. Don't try to send me every single pokemon, please.

3. Feel free to send me your list in this thread or by PM. Deadline would be September 14 midnight.

Dude, not cool, I was going to do this. You were going to do the Anime Ending Countdown.

Eh, go ahead.

I'll just do the Ending and Anime Series countdowns later.

You were? Methinks you posted that you were doing the Anime Series countdown.

I pretty much said I'd do the vast majority of the countdowns. -_-;

No big deal, though. However, I DO specifically remember you saying you'd do the Ending Countdown first. Damn you and your lieing ways!

[Lupin the Third]

Do you want us to PM you our lists or is listing them here fine enough?

[aka Cthulhu]

Anything is fine.

I has a question: Will Lucy and Nyu from Elfen Lied count as one character? I mean, they're the same person, but they have completely different personalities.

[aka Cthulhu]

Hm, methinks they should be considered as one entry. Among a few reasons why, if someone were to vote for Lucy/Nyu, it'll be easier to count the votes/points.

[aka Cthulhu]

I've got five lists in total, including mine. So far the one in the lead is certainly quite surprising, mainly because I think the manga version of him was much better.

That was difficult. I could probably write this tomorrow and have a different list, but the top 3 would likely remain the same.

[aka Cthulhu]

Well, you can change your list until the deadline September 14. I'm still unsure about the final half of my list with regards to the order.

[Nan Flanagan]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
