This is the end all be all list of anime characters who are the embodiment of cool. And instead of letting you do the reading, I decided to go ahead and do it for you. I have noticed a lot of other top ten lists that are in video form within the video game community, but nothing in the anime and manga community. So, like a true gentlemen I decided to step it up and do it myself. I wish I could produce this every week like my previous top ten lists, but that seems impossible. But hey, you wouldn’t like pocky if you ate it everyday, right?

I agree with the #1 ... Spike is one bad mutha *shut your mouth*
In all I'd say I would have cut most of the fanboy influence for Vash the Stampede from Trigun, Ranma Saltome (he gets the best of both worlds) from Ranma 1/2, and Arsène Lupin III ... from Lupin III.
that... was... amazing.
Amazing video, you should do it every week. ^_^
(when Kamina pulled out his sword in the Viral fight, I laughed for about a minute straight. So cool a moment.)
Great list. I was with you until the end when you dared to sad face Kazuma.............
what anime is kamina from?
cool list btw. agreeable.
nvm. found it... Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
I've got to say, that this list is utter shit.
You've managed to skim the upper most layers of the anime realm, congratulations! You even missed possibly one of the most influential, hip, awesome anime characters of all times. Where is Lupin III on this list? Sanji, that faggy Naruto Character and Trunks don't hold shit to the Gentleman thief.
Lupin is more of a comedic, idiot kind of cool like Vash, I want cool cool.
I like the video version much better than the other Top 10s.
It means I don't have to read so much.
Real nice list I loved watching the video XD
P.S. wat anime is Kamina from cause hes freakin cool :P
Where the HELL is Alucard????
Kenshin (ever seen the OVAs?) and Hisoka would get places on my top 10, but still good list and good effort!! :-)
(still I was expecting Alucard to pop up somewhere there....he's the epitome of Anime coolness and if he didn't exist I'd have to agree with your #1 ;-) )
You said grifith isn't cool, ok, but no Alucard you FAIL!!!!!!!
Out of curiosity, was it intentional to make it an male only list? I realize that it is your list and not the be-all-end-all list so there's no correct answer here. I'm just curious.
i'm not sure, when making this list i did not picture any femaile characters for some reason; maybe they don't fit the super cool persona that i was thinking of. The reason why Alucard is not on this list is because he is just crazy, and we see that as cool; but he really isn't cool.
If you're going to keep these in video form, either get another narrator or practice being less monotone. It was pretty boring despite my enthusiasm for Spike at #1.
that was long.....too long. Agree with spike!
Hmm, such mixed feelings. Yeah this is better than the regular lists and I expect if you do more like this they'll get even better. But Len, no offense, your voice just isn't right for this sort of thing, it's fine for podtoid-san and I'm sure you could host a jazz session but it doesn't work for this. You couldn't be a presenter sounding like that and that's what you have to do here; present the list, make it sound interesting.
'T'was good though, the silly cut aways and so on, hope there'll be more diverse posts on Japanator like this. And of course Spike, no contest. Spoilers: He won.
Can anyone give me the actual list? I can't see this at work, and I'm impatient. :(

Don't mind if i make a late suggestion: Priss Asagiri- 2040 version. Surely if you had a female in the list, it would be her. She's the most badass knight saber, and also has time to rock a packed house.
If she isn't cool, then someone respond to me why.

hands down the most awesome mofo around, modern anime characters aint got shit on him.
