I don't watch any of these shows, yet I recognize every single character.

Is this normal?

Can't comment on most of the list since I've watched almost none of the shows represented, but putting anyone from Dragon Ball Z on a list that was supposedly based on actual character quality seems a little ridiculous. Also putting Johan ahead of Light or L - he's interesting and all, but I just can't see that argument.

Yeah... Evangelion is a close second to Haruhi Suzumiya on my list of my favorite anime series, but Shinji isn't even the best character on that show. (Ayanami Rei ftw)

I'm laughing that Shinji is No. 1 because I always considered him, like, the Harry Potter of that series

[[the protag that no one likes as much as they like basically everyone else]]

But Lelouch, Haruhi [the Haruhi that matters], and Spike are on there so I am content. Nausicaa too. hell yea
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.

Couldn't disgree more.

Well, I am disappointed there's no Bleach or Yu Yu Hakusho, and Light/L need to be higher, but decent list. Glad Goku made top 3 and Vegeta top 10.
