Dengeki recently conducted a poll asking its readers which anime & video game characters they'd most like to be friends with if given the opportunity. A
similar survey was conducted a few years back, but the results now quite different. That list was largely filled with classic characters, while these new results are much more contemporary, at least for the anime list. That being said, the same character that topped the list last time also places at #1 here as well. The games list is a better blended mix between two. Check out the results below:
Top 10 Anime Characters:
- Doraemon (Doraemon)
- Yui (K-ON!)

- Koyomi (Bakemonogatari)
