Kyōshirō

Least Favourite:
Weed

I don't really hate him (in GDW anyway) I just don't find him very interesting.
Funny that I ship my favourite and least favourite.

Lenny, one of my all time favourite characters in the Ginga series, probably because her and I are basically the exact same person. Very sweet and kind, laid back yet crazy protective, with just a tiny little hint of sass. I was so disappointed how Yoshi decided to write her off the story with absolutely no warning.
Reika and Hook. I have no idea why but I fell in love with these two the very moment I saw them.
Kaibutsu. Poor baby. I just want to cuddle him and make him feel better. Plus his design is insanely cool.
The Borzoi brothers. My favourite trio. Shame they didn't last for long.

I've never been a fan of neither Weed nor Jerome, but at least Mel is finally kinda sorta growing on me.

Monster/P4 (he did nothing wrong and Jerome is a bad friend, fight me)

Yukimura
Toube (I know standing while dying is a thing in shonen, but it was the first time I had seen it)

Least favorites

Kyouki (typical Yamato Nadeshiko/ideal japanese wife)

Favourite:

GB - He's probably the best developed character in GDW. Not overpowered like rest of characters with unrealistic, idealized personalities. GB has his flaws but he's loyal and humorous without becoming annoying. He just feels... like a normal, relatable guy instead of idealized and stereotypical figures. A possible, realistic normal guy, like a character you can identify with..

Joe - The only true bearhound out of Gin's children. I like him for his not-so-perfect, yet not so insane (like Yukimura) personality. He's a good father and a good, reasonable leader. Shame, the story should be about him xD

Ryo - A strong, loyal female fighter, and probably the only true fighting female in Ginga universe.



Least Fav:

Jerome - So much ANGST. The decision to leave bullet in his leg just because of his "past sins" or whatever it was, was one of the most idiotic things ever. Since when Jerome suddenly felt some ascetic needs, just to leave them right away and kill Tunder and Lecter anyway. The character he becomes after killing Thunder and Lecter is very annoying. He's stalking on Weed even though he stated he would forgive him and wanted him back. Jerome could've done much more if he rejoined Weed and coordinated his actions with him. After all, all his stupid decisions lead to his unecessary death.
Maybe anime authors wanted to create character depth by attemping to give him some inner conflicts, but to me he seemed angsty and unreasonable, especially contrasted with his begining role as a leader and teacher.

Kamakiri - He's a skicko and he just creeps me out.

Gin(anime only) - "Leave me to die, kill me, let me die baww baww". He was the most useless, trouble-making character in whole GDW. He's supposed to be a legendary charismatic leader, but all he was is some bland oldie, weak both physicaly and mentaly. I can't believe he was the same brave, strong little Gin that never gave up.

Akame - Akame is my least favourite character in whole Ginga series. He has no personality while being just way too perfect, goody-goodie, always strong and always the best, he literally seems like an immortal. He should be dead or at least much weaker.

Sakura - She wasn't a good mother at all. She's really naive and in the end he has to give away her two pups then she dies alone leaving her only pup left, all because of her stupidity.

Sniper - I never liked him TBH. The manga could do well without him or with a different additional villain.

Hougen - He's a sick bastard and he's just plain gross with what he does.

Favorite characters from GDW....let me see....for sure Tesshin ;d...next...Jerome, Hiro, Kyōshirō, GB, Rocket, P4. The least favourite characters are for sure Hougen and Genba. I think Kamakiri, Stone and....Weed (yes, him too) deservs for this place too.

Least Faves:
Jerome, honestly. The whole bullet in the leg thing has coined a phrase from myself that when a character does a similar thing, I call it doing a Jerome. Always disliked Kyoushiro too.

I'm curious of your reasons for not liking Kisaragi and Rocket O: I don't see many people hate Rocket, so it'd be cool to know what you dislike about him ^^

For Rocket, I've always fine him a boring character with a boring personality and design.. maybe with to much space in the mangas and anime too..
For Kisaragi is pretty much the same
