25 most inspiring anime characters

To be honest, there is no other medium in the world that inspires me more than anime - and that has been true since I was a child watchingdragon ball andYu Yu Hakusho.

Over the years, I have been lucky enough to watch many stellar shows. The ones that brightened my day and got me back on my feet, even when the show wasn't consciously designed to offer any kind of support.

And not only anime can inspire, but also characters.

Check out this list for some of the most inspiring characters, especially if you're looking for inspiration (and some damn good stories and animations to boot).

25. Stampede Vash

Anime: Trigun

You just know the records here are special because the cult MCTrigun starts the list. Your Stampede is one of the most captivating characters, anime or not.

His public image suggests that he is accommodating, friendly, and unfazed by even a giant bounty for him.

ThenTrigun looks into his past and moments of loneliness, discovering a sick and depressed person whose soul needs a lot of healing.

And here's what makes it admirable:

Despite literally decades of suffering, your Stampede refuses to despise all of humanity and seek vengeance, choosing instead to look to the bright side of humanity and strive for peace.

24. Makunouchi Ippo

Anime: Hajime no Ippo

I totally understand if you're not interestedHajime no Ippo . It's not as long asone piece , but the anime has over 100 episodes.

On the other hand, I am a firm believer in Makunouchi's ability to get you excited and eager to complete your daily tasks over and over again.

Like any great sports anime, "Hajime no Ippo" filled with trials, formidable foes, and moments of hard-earned triumph.

No one needs to have boxing experience to get into a fight. Before you know it, you'll be rooting for Makunouchi (and his buddies) and feeling energized during and after watching.
