Who are some of the best anime characters and what makes their stories interesting?

Edward Elric from 'Fullmetal Alchemist' also has a great story. He and his brother Alphonse, in an attempt to bring their mother back through alchemy, violated the taboo and lost parts of their bodies. Edward then embarked on a journey to find the Philosopher's Stone to restore their bodies. His story is full of themes like sacrifice, redemption, and the pursuit of knowledge.

The uniqueness of their situations makes their stories stand out. For example, Light Yagami from 'Death Note'. He found a Death Note which could kill people by writing their names in it. His descent into a self - proclaimed 'god' of a new world order was very different from typical hero stories. His actions and the moral dilemmas he faced made his story extremely engaging.

Goku from 'Dragon Ball' is a classic. He is a Saiyan who loves to fight and is always looking for stronger opponents. His story spans from being a young boy on Earth to becoming one of the most powerful beings in the universe. His simplicity, love for food, and his unyielding will to protect his friends and family make him a great character. His battles are epic and the story keeps evolving with new threats and power - ups.

Suspense is key. For example, in 'The Promised Neverland', when the kids first discover the truth about the orphanage. The build - up of unease and the sudden realization make it a great scene in a horror - themed anime.

The mystery. In creepy anime stories, there are often a lot of unanswered questions. For example, in 'Ghost Hunt', there are different paranormal cases, and we are always trying to figure out what the real cause of the spooky happenings is. It keeps us hooked.

One of the best is Naruto from 'Naruto'. His character is full of determination. He was an outcast in the village at first but through hard work and his unwavering belief in his friends, he became a hero. The story is about his journey to gain recognition, protect his village and friends, and also his quest to become Hokage. It has themes of friendship, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself.

The best anime story usually combines elements like complex characters with depth, a thought-provoking theme, and a well-paced narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Also, good world-building adds to the charm.

For me, a great anime manga has a compelling story, well-developed characters, and amazing art. If these elements are present and work well together, it can be considered the best.

'Attack on Titan' is also among the anime with great stories. It's set in a world where humanity lives within walls to protect themselves from Titans. The mystery behind the Titans, the political intrigue, and the characters' struggles for survival and freedom make for a very engaging story.

One of the best anime stories is from 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood'. It delves deep into themes like sacrifice, redemption, and the consequences of playing god. The story follows the Elric brothers' journey to regain their bodies after a failed alchemical attempt. Another great one is 'Attack on Titan', with its post - apocalyptic world filled with Titans and the mystery surrounding them. It's a story of survival and the fight for freedom. Then there's 'Death Note', which has an intense psychological battle between Light, who finds a death - note and uses it to create his idea of a 'perfect world', and L, the detective trying to stop him.
