To be honest I like the Hetalia characters more than I like the actual series.

Yes. :3

Examples would be:
Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu
Ritsu Tainaka from K-ON!
Ukyou from AMNESIA
Naruko "Anaru" Anjou from AnoHana
Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto
Alois Trancy from Kuroshitsuji (though, I actually do love that series)

Kumagawa Misogi. He is the only reason I started watching Medaka Box.

For me, it happens a lot with Shoujo anime.

To be honest, the only reason I'm still technically in the APH fandom is because I like Hong Kong, Seychelles, and Taiwan more than the show in general.

HETALIA TIME˜!

Sometimes...mostly Italy.

My favorite anime character is Naruto Uzumaki, and I love him much more than his actual series, Naruto/Naruto: Shippuden.

I actually like yuki sohma,kyou sohma and haru sohma more than I like the seriese!!And is one of the reasons I finished watching it!

I like the K-ON girls more than the show

Jellal Fernandes is my favourite anime character,but Fairy Tail is one of my least favourite anime:P

Ye[, Takagi Saya in Highschool of The Dead,she was probably the biggest reasons I watched as much as I did of the series.

Can't stand Masamune-kun no Revenge but love Yoshino and Kojuro. The only two characters that kept me watching it.
