I've heard about this before, is it apply to you?
When you like a main protagonist, is it because you found something to relate?

Most of the time, it is the case.
I don't really like any main protagonist so it doesn't apply to me

Lots of protagonists are pretty much self-insert characters, someone who gratifies power fantasies, especially teenagers. Kirito is an example.
More than relatability it's about goals and personalities. Naruto is a standard example. Disregarded by the village, wants to become the Hokage, wins over the entire village in the Pein arc and undergoes a great Hero's journey in the process.
I don't really need a sad backstory, their actions should speak for their character development. Something like what Edward undergoes in FMAB.

So you like other protagonist, why you like them?

Not really.
I don't play favorites and I just watch anime to enjoy it impartially

Ooh.. sometimes it's hard to not play favorites for me if the character very interesting

They need to be written well that's all. I mean there's no way I can relate to an over-powered main protagonist for example, but if he or she is written well and the story is told from their perspective in an interesting way I'd definitely watch it.

Cool. Who is your all time favorite character?
Difficult to say. That's one thing I haven't really thought about, especially after watching 150+ something anime. A toss up between Light and Lelouche I guess.Silver_Fox said:

Ugh yes i can understand, with that much cast of characters it's hard to pick just one

I am just partial to all the characters.
Nothing more and nothing less

How? Any tips?
Silver_Fox said:
Well, if you watch it just for entertainment, then you wouldn't develop any favorites.
By not getting involved too deeply, we can remain partial to anything.
