Can I pick, like, every single character?
Seriously, I love Nia, I love Simon, I love Yoko, I love Rossiu, I love Kittan, I love Leeron... and that's just the beginning. And no, Kamina is not on that list.
Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.I think Viral, Simon, Rossiu, and Yoko are the ones who stand out to me. Nia was a bit too waif-ish for me personally to get attached to (which is weird cause I like Rebuild!Rei), but I understand why other people really get into her.
These are the words that shall come from my mouth. I shall be known for speaking them.In order: Viral, Kamina, Simon, Leron, Lord Genome, Rossiu, Coco, Kitan in the episode where he died (I hate him all throughout the other episodes though), Yoko, ehhhh then maybe Attenborough
3DS Friend Code: 0302-0823-4983 Black 2 Friend Code: 4084-3672-3624I'm hesitant to say Kamina is overrated because he's a cool character in his own right and is pretty much the heart and soul of TTGL's ideology, but I feel he's been Flanderized into being the complete embodiment of the series, which is definitely not the case.
These are the words that shall come from my mouth. I shall be known for speaking them.You forgot to mention Nia.
Seriously, Nia's awesome.
Yeah, I think the major draw to the series was, if you will take this as a metaphor, seeing Captain Kirk assemble his Enterpise crew and then seeing how that crew carries on without their captain.

Nah. I didnt forget
3DS Friend Code: 0302-0823-4983 Black 2 Friend Code: 4084-3672-3624Makken.
That's right. I call him Makken the Man.
Everyone else is tied for second.
One Strip! One Strip!Simon and Yoko.
"My life is my own" | If you want to contact me privately, please ask first on the forum.The original main three Kamina, Simon and Yoko. Although Nia is cool too.

If you didn't forget, then her name would be somewhere there, wouldn't it?
In terms of awesomeness, I'd say Simon > Lordgenome > Nia > Yoko > Kamina > Viral > Leeron > Kittan > Kittan's sisters > Rossiu and everyone else.

Simon's probably on top, but Kamina's pretty awesome if only for his last scene, Leeron is always on top of everything and understands things before anyone else, Boota is-argh. I can't decide!
I have a message from another time...Hahah, yeah Leeron, somehow forgot about him. At first I was like "...What the fuck Gainax" but I actually grew to like him.
These are the words that shall come from my mouth. I shall be known for speaking them.Kamina was so awesome, he came back from the dead to remind the only guy more awesome than him that he (simon) is in fact more awesome than him so that he (simon) can continue to do awesome things and kick ass...
Twice.
He's no Makken however.
One Strip! One Strip!I like that they made him the tech guy. I felt that was an interesting way to subvert stereotypes. Of course, other than that he plays Camp Gay pretty much... er, straight.

ok. I like Nia as much as... Tibolt
3DS Friend Code: 0302-0823-4983 Black 2 Friend Code: 4084-3672-3624I don't get it.... And if that means you don't like Nia, then I really don't get it.
On Leeron, I think he's awesome because he's both incredibly smart and a Camp Gay stereotype who thus seems fully aware that he is one and plays it up for all it's worth not giving a fuck what others think of it. Heck, he even seems to like messing with people with it.

Its easy for me to see why a person might not like Nia; she is pretty waif-ish and can be seen as a non-entity from a certain light, though I do personally think she's more than that.

It's very easy, but she'll also stare down someone holding a gun to her face without flinching.
Wanna know who gave Grand Zemboa it's first injury in the movie. Nia did.
Remember that part where she held out for a week out of pure willpower after she should have faded away. I do.
There's so much more to Nia than the stereotype she initially seems to be.
Oh. I forgot, before the gun incident, there was the time Adiadne had the claws of her Gunmen around her, and she didn't show an ounce of fear, while masterfully calling the crazy bitch out on her "follow any order" philosophy. Kill yourself indeed.
Nia's badass. Make sure everyone knows it.
What's Tibolt?
Unless you mean T-Bob.

the emperor who killed kamina. Its not the i dont like nia, its just that i dont care for her. She does have good parts though
3DS Friend Code: 0302-0823-4983 Black 2 Friend Code: 4084-3672-3624That would be Thymilph, not Tibolt. Never really liked any of those Generals, really.
To me, Nia "having good parts" is an understatement. IMHO, she's actually a cooler and better character than Kamina. Admitedly, this may be due to me thinking the show was at it's best in the episodes between her debut (after Kamina bit it) and her abduction by the Anti Spiral.

You know, I just noticed something. "Simon the Digger". It can be misheard, and mistaken for the N-word. I'm surprised I can't find any Simon the Nigger pictures anywhere...
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that....nope, can't hear it.
Was wondering what people's favorite characters were? Me, I think mine has to be Viral. He's just such an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain I just can't help but like him. It was kinda amusing watching PSG before I saw TTGL, because I can now see where the main antagonists got a lot of their style from. Also liked that he got a chance at redemption in the end.
