Keeping all that in mind as I read through the list, I agree with a lot of their picks. If it were a "Favorites" list, I would never understand how Astroboy or Speedracer made their list lol.

Yeah that makes sense. Since it was based on the anime (sorry I have the manga mentality). In that case I'm surprised InuYasha didn't have a place on that list I guess..

If that's indeed the case then I'm stumped as to why Char Aznable didn't make the list. The man has a devoted following to this day!

Luffy, Vegeta, Lelouch should have been in the top 20. I though L and Light should have been ranked higher and Sailor Moon, cult hit it was with girls around the world, deserved to be in the top ten. But Goku being number 1 was no surprise.

IMHO, if it's an "all-time" list, I don't really think Death Note or Code Geass characters should be in there. Yes, they've got a cult following and are very good, but they're barely classics yet.

It isn't a top 25 anime characters of all time if it doesn't have Kamina.

He's hardly the original anti-hero. In the anime in this list alone there's Racer X.

racer x is anything but an anti hero. he's a brooding wanna be mercenary that has daddy issues

I agree with the top 5, but maybe luffy should be in a higher place, one piece is a really popular anime

Ummm... That's exactly what an anti-hero is... A brooding person with some sort of moral issues who can work for any side .
