I'm pretty late . . . but in response to Nopy’s Top 10 Anime Girls of 2011, I have decided to make my own top ten list. Except, in this list I have chosen my favorite anime male characters of 2011. I haven't covered many anime series this past year, but I hope you find a liking to any of the fallowing series based on my top male picks, in case you aren't already familiar with them.
Also, I happily welcome the new year! Let's have another great year full of memories. Fighting!

10. Ouma, Shu from Guilty Crown
I am not as fond of his personality as I am with his character design. I love the way he looks. Pretty shallow of me? Maybe. He's cool and all, you know, willing to save lives. But I just think he LOOKS even cooler. Especially when his game face is on and is about to extract someone's void because when he does, his eyes turn red and he becomes a completely different person. A much more confident, kick ass, Ouma, Shu. Or it could be that I just like his powers and the yellow streaks in his hair. All I can say, is that Shu is by far my favorite male character in Guilty Crown . . to look at ;)
9. Niwa, Makoto from Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
The anime wasn't my favorite, but I liked the main protagonist. He didn't turn out to be a complete jerk or hid the fact that he was related to Erio. He was very brotherly, the way he always took care of her. Plus, he doesn't look that bad either.
8. Hasegawa, Kodaka from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Another brotherly type, but a little more experienced than Niwa - having a little sister himself. Don't be fooled by his looks. His dyed-looking hair isn't the trademark of a rebel. If I could have an older brother, I'd want an older brother like him, I guess. One who watches out for me, is there for me, and is patient with my weaboo characteristics. But most importantly . . one who cooks for me - muahaha!7. Yadomi, Jinta from Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai
Even Yadomi can be labeled brotherly . . . [I must really want an older brother XD]. Although, his feelings towards Menma were more than just that. He was willing to marry her. I find that adorable. He was very loyal to her throughout the whole series and never gave up on her and her dream. His situation is rather heartbreaking, yet very heartwarming. How can I not love him.6. Asaba, Yuuta from Kimi to Boku
Yuta is very underrated. He is frequently out shined by his younger brother Yuki. That's probably why he's one of my favorites. I find him more mysterious. My affection towards him grew after his date with that girl. That was a cute episode. I also love that he's a tsundere, like most of the males in this list. If I had to choose between a twin, it'd be the one who is not willing to stand out because that's actually what would make him stand out, to me.5. Okumura, Rin from Ao no Exorcist
Mr. Okumura was my first favorite. I find him very attractive - demon looking and all. He has the sweetest smile, even though that's not the case in this pic - his tsundere face is pretty cute too. Apart from his smile, I adore his laugh. It's so cute and innocent . . . KAWAII! Am I the only one who thinks he's a total hottie when he pins up his hair?! (Ehem) Other than that, he is a pretty heroic character . . . one of those -I don't care about my own well being as long as I can protect my friends- attitude. It's very hard for me to acknowledge him as Yukio's older brother, though.4. Kawachi, Daikichi from Usagi Drop
Obviously, he'd be on this list. He went out of his way to take Rin into his home when she needed it. I admire that about him. It was very precious to see his dere attitude as time passed with his new daughter. I certainly wouldn't hate the guy who would take me in under those circumstances. 3. Tsukahara, Kaname from Kimi to Boku
I am a big megane fan. Cute boys with glasses . . kyaa! Kaname is too cute . . . and funny. I don't know how many times he's smacked his friends, throughout the series. He definitely keeps his friends on check. I wouldn't mind a boyfriend who is as tsun tsun as he is. I don't think I'd like a guy who is too sweet. His smile is very sweet though. I really enjoyed the anime. He was never a bore to watch. Their couldn't have been a better class representative. I just wish I was one of those crushes of his :(
2. Takano, Masamune from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi
I think the perfect word to describe Takano would be "smexy." Believe it or not, here's another megane. He's not wearing his glasses in this pic, though. He's also gay, in case you didn't know - which makes me want him even more, sigh. And since I don't stand a chance with him (plus he's not real), I settled with admiring his qualities as a man. He's pretty straight forward, clever and an excellent lover. Wait, what do I know? I do know that he's wanted by more than one man and a few woman in the anime, so there's that. But why are you with Onodera?! After all the pain he put you through! Argh!
Last, but not least . . . Kazehaya-kun. I'm not really sure why he's my favorite. I think it has a lot to do with the essence he gives off in the anime. I love shoujo anime's. I love shoujo characters. Shoujo's have all that good stuff. The sparkles . . . the bubbles . . . and, the drama. Throughout the series he basically builds up for that moment, that moment when he finally confesses his feelings to Sawako and vice versa. But he goes through all these obstacles on the way there, it's frustrating. Although, it's throughout the journey that his character develops. That's when I find how short tempered, selfish, and insecure he is. Not to mention what a total cry baby he was as a kid. Still, I can't help but fall for these princely type characters because once that moment comes when they hug the girl or share a kiss, my heart can't help but go doki doki. I believe every girl has fantasized about a guy like Kazehaya to be her knight in shining armor at one point.
