I would like to like Kotetsu, but he tries so hard- too hard to me- for a veteran, to be the friend of some pretentious smartass youngster (Barnaby). Add this in with him hardly ever getting a break from the other characters (being respected or simply having his role undermined) and he is made somewhat of a butt monkey. Which is a shame, because he has so much potential.
However, right now, I'm on episode 10- so if he stops getting treaded on later, I'd be happy. c:
But for my undisputable hero favorite- Rock Bison/Antonio
Not for his hero aspects, but for his character. I find him strong, bold, and respected, and personally, quite a attractive for his traditional (but not over-wrought) masculinity. Where as he is older, like Tiger, if not older, he is respected, even if his powers aren't as flashy as the others. His age is not a liability and he bends to no one! *yes I acknowledge the lack of circumstances in which he would bent to anyone but still- let me fangirl dammit. emotion_kirakira
My second favorite Hero is Fire Emblem. I like his interesting colorful character as well as his powers and usage of them, as well as his empathy and smarts. Even though he is a very stereotypical gay dude, I love that he is no weakling- he is effeminate and totally FIERCE at the same time- and he is in charge! He owns his own sponsor company- like a boss (literally *smacked with bag of cotton balls*). emotion_awesome
For the side character, I love Dr. Saito- he's smart, well-meaning, and I find him funny sometimes. c: Also, he's cute in a helpful old person/mentor kind of way- I can't explain it , but hopefully someone gets what I mean. c:
