We all have that favorite series that we keep going back and watching. Mine is Lucky Star. However, despite my ever drooling over that series and the lovely protagonists therein, I always knew in my heart that none of my beloved Lucky Star girls would compare to legendary characters of anime past. Why do I know this? Well, the people at IGN have tallied their opinions of who belongs in the top 25 most popular anime characters of all time, and after reading I could not help but agree (mostly).<\/p>\n

The criteria used to judge each character was their ever lasting fame and the impact they had on both the industry and their particular genre. Without spoiling the article, which I insist you go check out, I was pleased to see that most of my guesses made their way into the top 25. Our glorified SOS brigade leader was among them, and righteously so. She made a big impact in the world a few years ago, and still remains dominant even today.<\/p>\n

As for Lucky Star, while it was (and indeed still is) enormously popular and fun, no individual character carried the series alone, rather it was a glorious team effort.<\/p>\n

So check out IGN’s top 25. What is your opinion on the most popular (or influential) anime character? Did your favorite even make it onto IGN’s list?<\/p>\n

You can find the list here<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
