Oh and also I would have a rocket car.

I'd be the main character that no one thinks as the main character. The one that everyone knows but no one notices. More or less the narrator to everyone else's story. Think Kyon from Haruhi Suzumiya.

The narrator. Not a character that narrates, I mean the overbearing voiceover that comes out of nowhere and explains what was already obvious by implication.

I'd be some like... Schiezka from Fullmetal Alchemist. Easily flustered, almost losing her life to a pile of books that she had never expected to turn on her. I even look like her, which is freaky. My eyes are brown, though, and her's green.

If Twilight was like Romeo and Juliet, they would have died a horrible and painful death. And I would have laughed. Hard. :lol:

[SIZE="1"]Probably Rio Hinayama from ToHeart. We're both klutzy, she's terrible ignored in the series, somewhat shy and we both have love interests that are going nowhere. >.>;; Ahh, and she loves shoujo. (That's terribly important)

So, to sum it up without using an already existing character as an example... I'd be the character in a slice-of-life who's friends with a friend of the main love interest. Meaning, I just occasioanlly pop up and probably don't say anything.

Yes. Only not in the subgenre of the romantic, dating-sim-game-inspired ones. :P By definition, every single girl in those must be "elegible" even if she's fated not to be "the one".

I'd either be the insane girl that is always doing something unpredictable or funny (Like Edward from cowboy bebop), oorrr one of those characters that pops out at random moments to say something funny or state the obvious oorrr run from a large creature that has come to attack everyone. And of course I'd always live through the crazy situations, even if I was in a town that exploded, then afterwords have a funny, long explanation for it 8D

Everyone needs one of those characters!! 8D

Well, thing is that anime, as much of all pop culture, presents an idealisation of people and events. It is meant to be a escape, not a reflection of the grim reality one lives in. However, I'd say that there is really not a man that will feel attraction for an "ugly" woman. Because if he really feels attracted, she'll be beautiful in his eyes ;) and that's how things work in reality.

Anyway, for the sort of stories where a male lead falls for a rather unpopular girl, you'll have much more luck with shoujo (which is aimed at girls) than with dating-sim-adaptations which cater to teenaged boys' fancies.

The misunderstood, melancholy person. Since that's what I am in real life too.

Probably something like Yuki from Fruits Basket or Kyoya from Ouran High School Host Club. Or maybe the same thing, but the guy gets super powers and everything....... like Daisuke Niwa.

I would be some maniac general, waging a war of personal and societal assertion. At first I would be portrayed as ruthless and bloodthirsty, but in a Miyazakian twist later on I would be vindicated as a quixotic mad dreamer with a fuller appreciation of beauty than the protagonists.
...you must begin a reading program immediately so that you may understand the crises of our age... Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books.
