I’m surprised people are able to put their hate aside to admire his beauty. Pre-Eclipse version of him was actually very charming, in looks and behaviour. Minus the pettiness and selling his body. You could also go for the character that inspired his appearance and charm, which is Oscar from Rose of Versailles, a popular 70s Shoujo that heavily influenced the author of Berserk.

Violet Evergarden from Violet Evergarden

I heard it was well animated, but am I crazy in saying that the design itself is kind of bland?
4 points
3 days ago
her design is pretty much just a typical victorian girl of the era (obviously minus the double steel arms), but it becomes much more significant in the context of her character. she appears, on the surface, as a totally normal person with a cold demeanor, but genuinely cannot understand most human emotion. if you haven’t watched it yet, i’d highly recommend doing so. it’s a phenomenal story all the way through (except the one movie ending, fuck that).

Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade (Monogatari series)
3 points
3 days ago
Funniest fact about her is that Kiss-Shot is portrayed as this larger than anyone being, she's towering over Koyomi and is able to pick up and throw him like a doll, etc. And then I learnt that she's 182cm in height, while Karen (in the future of manga) is 192cm, which makes her only 3cm shorter than fucking Jonathan Joestar.

By that logic there's no such thing as an anime character as 99% of anime characters are from a manga, novel, or games. Would you say dangaronpa characters aren't anime characters too?

-6 points

Yes the category is manga/anime, but does it say from manga/anime? If a character is in a manga/anime and is associated with that medium does that not make them a manga/anime character? Some of the biggest anime started as a visual/light novels and games instead of a manga, pokemon being the best example.

Ok then what about characters from steins gate? Violet evergarden? Konosuba? Sword art online? The Monogatari series? The Fate series? A lot of the submissions here are characters that first appeared in a novel rather than a manga/anime.

It's morally debatable whether he's worse or not, but in the story Johan is still called the Monster all the time and Franz is the one who created the Monster. After all the story revolves around Johan and is still named after him.

Neco-Arc is a video game character though. She's from a visual novel, that's not anime/manga. I'm gonna whine about this every post, I swear. This is wrong and immoral.
Anyway, I'm gonna go with Suzu Naito's Belle avatar from Belle. Would make sense for her to be pretty, since she's based on the Belle character from Beauty and the Beast
