However if you have an absolute favorite anime couple that simply must be here, feel free to add them to the list. What is the greatest anime relationship of all time?

Some of these pairing aren&#39;t exactly couples, but rather anime crushes that haven&#39;t blossomed into an actual relationship yet. Take Winry and Ed from Full Metal Alchemist, for example. On the other hand some of these cute anime couples are actually parents such as Bulma and Vegeta.

Philip Moder

For all their&nbsp;reach and popularity, not all anime series follow lovable, or even likable, characters. Anime thrives by providing viewers with complex, difficult personalities, but even this jaded genre can't help but give the viewers beloved anime characters everyone loves. In a world of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-annoying-anime-kids/nida-sea" target="_blank">annoying kids</a> and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unsettling-anime-antagonists/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">truly loathsome villains</a>, the most universally liked anime characters bask in the love of legions of fans, who rarely if ever slander their beloved faves. Their attractive qualities make them excellent candidates for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-characters-that-deserve-their-own-show/ranker-anime" target="_blank">anime characters who deserve spinoff</a> series.Sometimes&nbsp;villains, sometimes the good guys, each of these well-liked anime characters are developed, nuanced personalities who can't be described with just one or two attributes. Even their flaws stand to make&nbsp;them all the more enjoyable. What truly makes a character great is when they feel like a real person – except, of course, when they're Pikachu. As always, be warned that this list contains SPOILERS.

While some anime heroes win battles&nbsp;thanks to their<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-powerful-anime-character/ranker-anime" target="_blank"> adept skills and strategy</a>, others win thanks to sheer, dumb luck. Anime characters who got lucky pop up in all genres,&nbsp;and some are a lot luckier than others.

Great Moments in Anime

Dying alone is a major fear that many people share. Even the most introverted, misanthropic people balk at the idea of being utterly alone in their final moments. When it happens, it makes already tragic demises all the more tragic - both in life and in anime. Anime characters who died alone are the subjects of some of the most heartbreaking scenes in anime history. Get the tissues out, because it&#39;s time to get sad.

In some cases, these characters are absolutely isolated - there&#39;s nobody nearby when they meet their maker - Wolfwood from Trigun is a good example of this. But most of the time, they aren&#39;t totally alone - instead, they&#39;re accompanied by the people who took their lives in the first place, or left to draw their last breath by said attacker. In other cases, they&#39;re surrounded by people, but all of those people are strangers - not someone who will show them compassion as they fade away. No matter what the circumstances are, these people spend their final moments in emotional isolation.&nbsp;

Which of these scenes had the biggest impact on you?

17 Anime Characters Who Tragically Died Alone

Most anime deaths have some level of drama or gravitas attached to them, but some of them are truly epic moments featuring&nbsp;anime characters who went out in a blaze of glory.

Many of these characters lost their lives in high-stakes battles that they didn&#39;t even once consider running away from no matter how badly hurt they were. Zabuza Momochi might not have had usable arms, but that didn&#39;t mean he couldn&#39;t keep fighting mercenaries with a kunai in his mouth. Other moments involve major sacrifices that prove just how brave&nbsp;the character in question is - Lelouch Lamperouge&#39;s last moments proved that he was willing to do anything for lasting peace.

All of these scenes will do something to your emotions - which one gets your heart pumping the hardest?

50 Anime Characters Who Smoke Cigarettes, Ranked

Anyone who has ever watched anime knows this archetype well: anime characters who just want a normal life. They range from reluctant heroes and heroines to everyday people who simply desire no fuss at all. Instead of great&nbsp;aspirations or big lofty dreams, anime heroes who don't want to be protagonists&nbsp;wish to be taken out of the spotlight and drama, preferably to a place where they can be left alone. It may sound like an oxymoron to create anime protagonists who don't like adventure, but the genre uses it as a means of making certain <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-top-most-badass-male-anime-characters/owilnic" target="_blank">anime characters look more badass</a>. But when it comes to other anime heroes who just want to go home, like Evangelion's Shinji Ikari, their detachment serves to highlight the circumstances which forced them into their situations.Anime characters who don't care are a dime a dozen, and&nbsp;detached characters who serve as protagonists feel right at home in the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/anime-high-school-tropes/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">genre's many tropes</a>. But for these characters to feel truly at home, they would probably be doing what you are now: scrolling aimlessly through the Internet.

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/overpowered-anime-characters/crystal-brackett?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Overpowered anime characters</a> can be thrilling, but they can also be kind of exhausting. That&#39;s because it&nbsp;can be hard to get invested in the outcome of a conflict when you know that there&#39;s no chance that the character will lose.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With that in mind, let&#39;s take a look at some anime characters who are not overpowered. Because most shows feature non-OP side characters, we&#39;ll be focusing on the protagonists here. Some, like Spike Spiegel and Thorfinn, come from universes where supernatural powers would be unlikely or impossible, so their fighting prowess remains within the realm of what&#39;s possible for a strong but still ordinary human. Others do exist in worlds with supernatural powers, but they aren&#39;t&nbsp;impossibly stronger than everyone else around them. These include well known characters like Eren Jaeger of Attack on Titan,&nbsp;and lesser-known characters like Kotoko Iwanaga of In/Spectre.

Which of these lowkey protagonists are your favorites?

In addition to stats like gender, location, and magical powers,&nbsp;anime characters often have canon birthdays. Not only does this give dedicated&nbsp;fans a chance to celebrate their favorite characters once a year, but it also reveals their astrological sign. Sometimes, it seems like the creators were choosing their characters&#39; signs with their personalities in mind&nbsp;because they exhibit most, if not all of the signs&#39; signature traits. At other times, it seems like their sign wasn&#39;t considered.

With that in mind, let&#39;s take a look at Cancer sign anime characters - characters who were born between June 22nd and July 22nd. The fourth sign in the zodiac cycle is a water sign that&#39;s represented by the crab. Cancers are deeply empathetic, social people who are known for their powerful caretaking abilities - but they can easily slide into codependency and even self-harm&nbsp;when life is going badly. Izuku Midoriya of&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;is a great example of this phenomenon - he desperately wants to be a hero and help those in need, but he&#39;s so serious about it that he accidentally hurts himself in the process. Other characters, like Ichigo Kurosaki of&nbsp;Bleach,&nbsp;exhibit few if any Cancer traits.&nbsp;
