Do you have a favorite type of male character archetype?
I like the tall, quiet, awkward guys.
>>154496837
I like people like the doctor from monster or samurai jack, who are pretty quiet but handle things.
>>154496837
scumbags
Ikemen (female).
not really, i like various types
i have a smaller list of male characters i DON'T like, and the main dude from haganai is on that list for example
but i like characters like takeP, onizuka, kenshiro, juuza (hnk anime version), harima kenji, just to name a few
they just have to not be a generic dimwitted pussyfooting dingdong who is absurdly oblivious and indecisive and "is just watching out for sanctity of his club/justice/hobby/shoes/whatever"
in short, i hate really basic self-insert hoihoi
I'm quite fond of detective-like characters that take over the scenes they're in, though the same applies to women.
Justicefags
openly slutty but not a cockmongling whore
>>154502727
This is not a male.
>>154496837
thats a big one for me, another great one is characters like reigen or dandy from space dandy where they're big dummies that talk a huge game but actually cannot match their huge mouths and selfish attitudes (also a big heart of gold)
punks
I hate faggots
And all of you seem like faggots
I can't wait to throw you off a crane Isis style
>>154496837
Based old men.
Consummate professionals who give zero fucks.
I love the archetype regardless of the character's gender.
I like the tsundere villains who refuse to let any other villain defeat the MC.
>>154504568
>>154496837
Whatever type Natsume is, soft-spoken and not extremely obnoxious. Maybe has some issues, but not cynical or misanthropic.
Feminine pretty boy types are nice too.
The bro who isn't sidelined too hard
>>154496837
SHOTA
H
O
T
A
Based teachers.
>>154496837
Keima Katsuragi or the MC of we can't study.
I like the guys who seem cold and hard on the outside, but have a awkward, vulnerable side just beneath the surface.
>>154496837
The ones that arent shit.
Just fucking anything that isn't Shinji clone, Otaku self insert, or a perfect Superhero.
>>154496837
>>154496837
Guys who seem like they have their life perfectly in control but the truth is that they're barely keeping themselves together. I wish I could think of good examples, that type is fun to watch.
>>154505261
and in conjunction
>>154496837
You just described my type OP
>>154496837
Harada made me love Toshi and his suffering.
Usually I'm into fluffy polite and gentle twink fags like Kaworu. I have soft spot for self-hating gyus and sluts too.
>>154496837
Doctors, scientists or academics who do nothing wrong.
>>154505286
The best.
Arrogant, smug good guys who have a bad temper (only in action anime)
Fun father type figures
Any male character who loves cheesy one-liners
sensible tsundere
>>154496837
One that I can take seriously when he's supposed to be taken seriously as a character, and one that I can laugh at when he's supposed to be laughed at. That's it.
>>154504315
Fuck yes
>>154507648
This. Kotetsu made me realize the allure of dads
Tsukkomi in a show full of bokes.
>>154508810
I also love Yuyushiki.
>>154508810
He is pretty boke himself
Yes, Archer.
Delinquents, misunderstood or otherwise, or hard-working, actually really fidgety, awkward on the inside cool geniuses.
Shounen protags.
Characterisation aside, I like seeing their goofy boyish grins whenever they're triumphant or feeling silly.
>>154496837
loyal to a fault
The hot-blooded secondaries that do their best even if they never measure up.
>>154513656
>>154504315
Basically these two put together.
Especially if the setting or circumstances has them way over their head, a normal brawler in a god's war, but they still will fight.
>>154513656
Intelligent, Nihilistic and with a Wicked Sense of Humor
>>154496837
The tough motherfuckers that have suffered more than anyone else but hide their pain and weaknesses behind an unbreakable wall of grit and a haggard but genuine world wisdom that only comes from experience.
>>154496837
I like decisive perverts.
>>154501368
WHY WOULD THEY DRAW THE NOSE LIKE THAT??
>>154496837
Flaky but strangely capable goofballs.
>>154496837
Comedic, but not in an over-the-top yelling or slapstick kind of way. More of a witty wisecracking way.
It's a letdown since this kind of character is less common in anime than it is in other media.
The type that doesn't let girls tease him and are so far ahead of the game no one can keep up
what's his archetype?
>>154496837
Cool delinquents.
Everything hot-blooded.
>>154496837
Insecure faggots who are forced to become hot-blooded confident leaders.
>>154514253
I have no idea, but they did.
>>154496837
Loveable OP edgelords.
>>154514574
the best friend who did literally nothing wrong
>>154514574
Literal misunderstood genius
I like tall brooding guys most
It's easier to self insert
But I respect hot blooded "I'll save everyone!" paragon types too
>>154514114
Don't fedora Kaiki, he was the best character in the series
>>154514773
Furuichi was literal perfection in a certain arc.
Dunno his archetype but I like these characters the best
>>154496837
Loyal.
>>154496837
I usually don't like male characters. But I really like Producer-sama, he's the best boy ever.
What's a male?
>>154496837
Boy, you'd love me
>>154515023
This + pic are the two best types
>>154496837
Considerate, soft-spoken, scholarly types.
>>154514249
He gets incredibly insecure when the girl is more assertive than him and it just makes me like him more.
>>154500457
>they just have to not be a generic dimwitted pussyfooting dingdong
This is a good description of what I like in a character of any gender.
>>154496837
Cyborg Ninja
>>154514174
I hate those faggots.
>>154515989
Only because they set a standard for masculinity a scrawny fuckboy like you could never dream of achieving. That's exactly why harem mc's are such autistic faggots, so people like you can relate.
>>154516199
I hate those faggots too.
>>154514253
It's not the nose, it's the outline of the shadow the nose casts.
>>154515926
confused, are you agreeing with my dislike here but applied to all genders? which i would agree with as well
Sophisticated muscles best archetype
>>154516636
Well of course, self-loathing is standard issue for your kind.
idk why, but redline had some of my favorite characters
I like weak, equivocating beta males who can never say no, apologizes all the time and places pussy on a pedestal so high it should be beyond anyone's reach. For some reason a show in which such a person appears is guaranteed to have a lot of cute girls congregate all with banging character designs.
>>154519827
Best answer because only fags care about male characters.
Moe boys.
>>154515063
>he's the best girl ever.
FTFY, TakeP is still best cinderella
Handsome otaku's are always one of the best characters in manga and anime.
>>154520604
Source? Reverse image search is a dead end.
Arrogant, smartass dudes who put up superiority complexes to mask insecurities brought on by bullying. Usually act like other people are a lower, less intelligent species worthy of study and ridicule. Will easily kill for a laugh.I wanna beat em up
>>154496837
>Takes no shit
>Not full of self
>Hot blooded
>Not strictly "evil" or "good"
>Not too edgy or too nice
>Cares about family
If /a/ can point me in the direction of any characters like Shizuo, that'd be much appreciated.
I always fall for:
>Big guys who look like bad guys but in reality they're very kind (pic related)
Or
>Lovely grown up men (like Hasebe from Touken Ranbu)
>>154515043
You have superb taste, /a/non.
Awkward but lovable pretty boys
Eccentric guys properly obsessed with things
Tough but caring guys
>>154517721
>>154520260
combine the two and you have the winning combination, pic related.
>>154519827
beta mcs can be cute on occasion.
>>154501904
>You can't erase the moment when you started Samunenco to watch it again like the first time
Sad.
Sado.
Quiet, strong (but not the strongest in the universe, just strong enough to have a good fight without *teleports behin u*)
He was the best character.
I miss chad.
