Rider from Fate/Zero is one amazing character that, for the first half of the series, he’s definitely most people’s favorite. He’s the Iskander who conquered the whole world, and his ideals are sensible. I absolutely adore this character, and he’s insanely strong.

Sasuke might have been one of the most hated characters but remember, he is the one who almost drove the anime. I think his character is pretty cool, like the way he fights, thinks, and looks.

  • Traits: Strong, Bloodthirsty, and Badass

If you spell “Dracula” in reverse, you get Alucard, and I don’t know what’s it got to do with him being a cool anime character. Well, people who have watched Hellsing/Ultimate would definitely get how badass and cocky he is.

12. Kise Ryouta

Kise Ryouta- Coolest Anime Characters List!
  • Anime: Kuroko’s Basketball
  • Traits: Flirty, Handsome, Caring, and Extremely Talented

Although Kise wasn’t that shiny compared to the other players in the anime, there was one moment where he proved that he is the greatest basketball player ever.

He copied every Generation of Miracles’ players’ moves and almost won the game single-handedly. That single moment was enough to say how cool this character had written.

11. Eren Jaeger

Eren Jaegar- Coolest Anime Characters List!
  • Anime: Attack on Titan Finale

Seriously, after watching the first part of the final season, I don’t remember the only Eren anymore. It’s like he scored 100 from 10, and the character development is just insane.

The scene from when he blew up Zachary and escaped the prison to save the Eldian empire just shows how cool Eren can get. Too sad; he took all the Levi fangirls in just a single season.
