Here are the nominees so far for my upcoming “most heroic character in anime”<\/a> poll:<\/p>\n

Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist<\/b><\/i>)
\nEdward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist<\/b><\/i>)
\nHomura Akemi (Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica<\/b><\/i>)
\nKenshin Himura (Samurai X; Rurouni Kenshin<\/b><\/i>)
\nMasane Amaha (Witchblade<\/b><\/i>)
\nNanoha Takamachi (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha<\/b><\/i>)
\nNausic\u00e4a (Nausic\u00e4a<\/b><\/i>)
\nRobin Sena (Witch Hunter Robin<\/b><\/i>)
\nSimon (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann<\/b><\/i>)
\nSon Goku (Dragonball<\/b><\/i>)
\nSpike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop<\/b><\/i>)
\nTogusa (Ghost in the Shell<\/b><\/i>)
\nYakuta (Outlaw Star<\/b><\/i>?) ((The only character by this name I found was in episode eight of Outlaw Star<\/b><\/i>, which I haven’t seen. Is that the one, or is there someone else?))
\nYoshika Miyafuji (Strike Witches 2<\/b><\/i>)<\/p>\n

And that’s it. Just fourteen. Note that in previous polls there were 27 villains nominated, 31 scary girls, and almost 60 babes. Surely there are more gallant characters in anime than this.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more names to consider:<\/p>\n

Balsa
\nGourry Gabriev
\nPriss Asagiri
\nAyumu Aikawa
\nPretty Sammy
\nGiroro<\/p>\n

Addendum: Shep, from Interstella 5555<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Would someone care to second any of these? Who else should be nominated? If I don’t get more names, I’m going to include Sailor Moon and Mao-chan in the poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
