this should be about the character, and how they are written not about impact, otherwise like goku would be 1, and idk if alot of people would be ok with that.

[@sigitwirawan2144]

I think ppl in IGN only know mainstreams anime and they start the character polling from there. Not from best character writing but from how popular the title is and then pick the most recognizable character from the franchise with occasional brilliant pick like Lupin the 3rd & Johan from Monster. *Face Palm*

[@thomasffrench3639]

Lupin is literally super iconic.

[@perkeletto640]

Those that do not know who is Kenshin, imagine Thorfinn from Vinland Saga, but in 1800's Japan. Former child soldier/assassin makes vow of pacifism and wants to live in peace, but his past constantly drags him back to path of violence. I would highly recommend the series, but due the actions of the author...i can't

[@ausreir]

I loved the manga. Shame.

[@hei7846]

@@JeffDvrx Horimiya is wrapped up however, not all of the manga was adapted. So this new anime is basically all of the side stories that did not get adapted like the kyoto trip and the school festival. This is not a sequel it is just an extension of the original horimiya that adapts what the manga did not. It basically takes place between the start and end of horimiya.

KAKASHI DOESN'T BELONG ON THE LIST OF MOST ICONIC ANIME CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME? Brother. BROTHER. Kakashi is the Metallica of badass anime mentors. He's the OG of aloof power.

[@joefredlin5018]

He's more than that. About the Captain being in No. 1 .. he's iconic that's true, BUT ... Errrr he's not the greatest and we all know that, but yeah.. there's no O or O.1 so let the Pirate King sit on the throne for now 😂 PS I wish Taguro is on the list lol 😂 to mess with us a lot more, instead of repeating the same series with different characters, nah whatever ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@joefredlin5018]

I think goku , luffg and naruto deserves to be in list since this list just says top 25 but they didn't specify in what terms ( ie in terms of iconicness or what ) and these 3 character are one of the most iconic anime characters of all time

[@batrex_]

Most iconic doesn't mean best

[@joefredlin5018]

@@batrex_ i never said best or anything The title just says top 25 so that's about it ( so even iconicness must be considered and these 3 are in top of the food chain when it comes to iconicness )

[@LshowKnows]

That's true, but at the same time if you follow that logic you can't really have someone like Tanjiro be above Zoro and Guts

[@joefredlin5018]

@@LshowKnows yeah but i believe only because of that logic guts is lower since Berserk anime is a complete ruin ( dont think about manga here ) So guts in anime is not that iconic or amazing as guts from manga And i believe tanjiro was above Zoro because a one piece character was already given number 1 position so i believe that's why they choose to have him above Zoro since a one piece character was already given such a high position

[@LshowKnows]

@@joefredlin5018 I don't think it's really fair to separate the manga in this list, and still they were showing Guts from the original anime which is pretty iconic. Also Popular doesn't necessarily mean iconic, Monster isn't as popular as some animes in there but it's writing and antagonist are really iconic and influenced a lot of works, just like Berserk

[@mr.m9489]

[@theyoungknight.3119]

There is a legitimate argument to be made that Naruto is a better manipulator than Johann because of talk no jutsu lol.

[@joefredlin5018]

The tittle just says top 25 so u dont know is it in terms of iconicness or whatever So i dont think one can be mad at this list

[@Windmill360]

A pretty normie shonen-heavy hipster list with some edgy incoherent placements and plenty of characters from shows they likely didn't watch or simply forgot about (Bleach, YYH, Re:Zero, Stein's Gate, Vinland Saga??).

[@TheReaIestOne]

You just dropped 3 of my top 5 anime. Rezero Bleach and Stein's Gate. Respect.🤣👍

[@Self8Sabotage]

No eren on this list ? 🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂wtf

[@dickthebirthdayboy2132]

Good, fuck Eren and his toxic edgelord fanboys.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I mean Eren is good, but he’s not the best. I would put him at the bottom of my top 25.

[@kaddy0306]

Glad be don't need to see such a flat edgelord character in this list...

[@Self8Sabotage]

@@kaddy0306 bitch what. Bros prob best character built anime character ever. I dont even like aot like that, but wtf

[@koushiksarkar4226]

​@@kaddy0306he is far better character than luffy and Naruto Lelouch deserves 1st place And okabe deserve 2nd 3rd is gut

[@chanderprakashmaurya4741]

Meruem is literally a bootleg version of Cell ..... Cell was the original PERFECT being.

[@CrashDAMFCourse]

I'll just say Vegeta inspired alot of the rival characters that we see in shonen shows. They aren't direct copies of vegeta but their are aspects of him in some of the rival characters.

[@desmondgovender3142]

There have been shows long before dragonball z with characters like vegeta that have similar traits as him

[@amogus1415]

​@@desmondgovender3142 None as popular or as trend setting.

[@braden8805]

I want to watch Trigun, should I watch the remake or the original first?

[@narutoUzumaki-et8ux]

I watch the remake and it's fucking amazing IDK about the original let me add another thing it's not a remake it's prequel to the original trigun

[@noahvandenberg3637]

Someone has never heard of uzumaki sushi...

[@j2winchester835]

Lelouch>Light I would have Lelouch top 15 or top 10. Light to me isn’t even top 25. How tf is Killua not on here but Gon is 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@adityannair6823]

U are dumb though light and lelouch are way better and damn realistic than typical average no killing mc like Naruto, thorfinn and many other

[@DrnoobzHermida]

Cuz Gon is better than Killua

[@hokutology1718]

This list misses a key point, mostly focusing on the iconic status of characters instead of the way they are written. So I'd happily see the likes of Askeladd, Joe Yabuki, Oscar de Jarjayes, Char Aznable, Raoh, Yu Ishigami, Tohru Honda, Justy Ueki Tylor and Kenzo Tenma appear instead.

[@FloridaTesfay]

Yes to Joe Yabuki

[@thomasffrench3639]

This is the best character list, which being iconic is an important factor.

[@sharebear421]

“Especially if we’re talking about the OG trigun” so the superior version?

[@AdityaGupta-bl2wu]

THEY FORGOT ONE PUNCH MAN

[@RizalBoon]

2:26:03 Dr Slump was one of my childhood anime in Malaysia. It was always aired before Dragon Ball in the morning, so I always watched it when I can haha.
