I just wondered what's everyone's favourite character is of all time (anime or manga wise), and if anyone has any other characters they've recently seen deserve any mention.

Well, as for me, my anime legend is Ukitsu (Ikki Tousen), especially in the manga, as Battle Vixens was the 1st manga I've ever read and her appearence in it still lingers in my head as an awesome entrance. Plus, she's sexy and has an epic aura around her (in terms of she's a serious fighter, but has an interesting personality.)

Then there's Gene Starwind (Outlaw Star) - must have been the luckiest guy in the universe, having a babe packed and ready for pick-up, and like any normal guy, you couldn't say no to that! (Not that he had much of a choice.) His approach to danger is also quite a quirky thing about him, sometimes taking it serious, other times, he just grins and gives you the "better luck, next time" look. Just wished he didn't have to blast poor Ashia ClanClan... ¬_¬

Anyways, Who's next?

My favorite anime is Code Geass. Its on your Icon so im assuming you've heard of it. I think Lelouch it is the coolest male character of all time but I like Anya from Season 2 the most.

Argh! How could I miss Lelouch?! He's British for crying out loud!
Anya reminds me of Ruri from Martian Sucessor Nadesico, but she isn't the only one I would say was "Modelled" after her. Not a bad thing, but just seems over-played.

[edit]
Hmm. My favorite characters are:
Motoko Kusanagi - GITS
Lelouch Lamperouge as Zero - Code Geass
Jo - Bakuretsu Tenshi
Alucard - Hellsing
Kan´u Unchou - IkkiTousen

1. Konata and Kagami (they tie because I can't choose) [Lucky Star]
2. Kallen [Code Geass]
3. Hakufu [Ikki Tousen]

*Sitting here for 10 seconds* *two seconds later* trying to make parody of Kallen work but forgetting what characters I was going to say. I think I just had an epic fail. must check pulse......... but I suppose two of my favorites are Louise from Familiar of Zero and Saya from Blood+
