Depictions of short tempter often make me laugh. Dictionary reference, see: Edward Elric. 

IKR. Ed...beats someone up...for calling him a 'runt'..."Sooo...who are these guys, anyway?"

My fav is the "Xerxes Break" type of personality. Completely insane...in a humorously random way. :3

*Walks into cupboard.* Well, everyone, good day! *closes doors* *Main characters opens doors* HE'S GONE!!!

EDIT: Waiting for someone to ask me "Who is this?"

EDIT2: In shock that everyone knows what Pandora Hearts is.

It's not a personality, but, ...

Short guys.

Vegeta. Hiei. Killua. Ed. Levi.

They're all awesome.

Then again, Hiei was based on Vegeta, and afterwards Killua was based on Hiei ... maybe I just really like Vegeta!

 

[nio kasgami]

hahahah this one was good too and yeah let's honest Levy is just really awesome~

Honestly?

Balalaika from Black Lagoon. She's as straight forward as a stick up an ass can be, and just as painful if you don't learn to properly deal with it. There's not much more to it than that. If she says something, she sticks to it. No BS, no cheap tricks, no vain threats. I find a serious lack of this archetype in anime, particularly in the position she's presented in. Balalaika's not the bad one just because the main characters have her favor, but if it wasn't that way...let's just say things wouldn't end up good.

Apart from that, the reporter archetype is usually a win/win to me. It doesn't matter it's position. Maybe he's just a (sparely used) sidekick as in Witchblade, maybe he's the protagonist as in Speed Grapher, maybe he's the bad guy as in some anime that I've probably yet to see or that is probably yet to fricking exist. For the simple reason that any character that follows this archetype well has this inherent "seek the truth" motivation that can lead to plenty of results and, if well handled, it can become a very good method to convey the plot without making it seem like hamhanded exposition. Problem is, these kind of characters are scarce, and it doesn't help that anime, in a fine lot of cases, has a serious issue with characterization.

EDIT: Those are the ones I like the most in anime. Out of that genre, I have a wider (and more permissive) array of favorites.

   My favorite male Anime character would probably be Kai Miyagusku(Blood+), who starts out the series as a hotheaded teenager skipping school and picking fights but ends up a cool-headed paramilitary commando hunting nigh immortal monsters by the midpoint of the series and ends the tale as adoptive father to the offspring of the monster-queen he'd spent the entire series hunting. I like Kai so much because he is an extremely dynamic character with a static core. As an adopted orphan Kai holds his adoptive family dear to him and clings hard to that conviction throughout the series; experiencing bouts of depression as events prove him weaker than he thought, endangering his adopted sister and proving him incapable of protecting her Kai evolves around the circumstances but refuses to abandon his family member to the wolves no matter how often it's pointed out how incapable he is; his convictions force him to change but he never loses sight of why he's doing what he's doing. An incapable sidekick type character on the surface he comes to take on the role of mediator within the series and the strong moral compass that rails against the backdrop of increased depravity in the forms of 'ends justify the means' style justice, a farcry from the heavy-handed punk he is introduced as. 

   Other male characters I always liked Include Mayes Hughes and Alphonse Elric(Full Metal Alchemist), Dr. Tenma(Monster) and Suzaku Kururugi(Code Geass), none of which are the hard-eyed and calculating warriors that "will do whatever it takes" but are the humanitarian idealists who just refuse to sacrifice their honor no matter how impotent they seem to be in the grand scheme of things and end up making a dramatic difference in the end through the shear tenacity of their convictions which allow them to grow and rise to the occasion whatever it may be.

   It's harder to think of female anime characters that I'd consider favorites, Euphie?(Code Geass) comes to mind, who if not for a callow remark triggering an out-of-control power by the arrogant series protagonist could have ended the series conflict peacefully and stopped a lot of unnecessary bloodshed. Hawkeye from Full Metal Alchemist is another, always liked the "I'm your most loyal follower helping you climb to the top but I'll shoot you in the back if you get to power-hungry" angle. Harder to think of them though, unfortunately too many of the anime I've watched tend to either fall into the various fanservice tropes with their female characters or else try so hard with the 'independent badass' angle to get away from that that they end up seeming inhuman.

Ugh I was so sad about Mayes Hughes..

 

[NTakamura]

The Lelouche vi Brittania type. Cold, calculating, planning everything ten steps ahead of the opponent AND the viewer, but still human, still having friends, and not only capable of making

a serious mistake, but able to accept that he messed up instead of delude himself that he is invincible. 

Never liked Light Yagami though.

Agreed. My favorite character as well. I like how he pulls the rug out from his opponents.

I like "Harem" personality. A personality that attached many female characters and ended up having a harem.
