Aaaaand there you have the male opinion on the greatest anime/manga siblings. It's the same top two as what females chose, so it would be pretty safe to say that these two pairs of brothers may be the best siblings depicted in Anime/manga.
I'm sure this poll was done with opinions from people biased One Piece lol
ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm not sure what conclusion we can make from this poll, what I can see is people who answered to this poll are the genereation highly influenced One Piece and Full Metal Alchemist.
I know Saint Seiya declined in term of popularity but maybe I would have quoted Saint Seiya with Shun and Ikki always helping each other (and Ikki often risking his life to protect his brother since Shun was a baby).
haha yeah~
ReplyDeleteI think they were between 20~30 years old so that's probably why. I'm not a huge fan of One Piece (It's too long and repetetive) or Full Metal Alchemist (it's okay but not awesome).
My generation is after Saint Seiya so haven't watched/read that yet but it's very popular in the previous generation so I should read/watch it :)
I'm assuming you're French, because I know that Saint Seiya is very popular there. And you also made a comment about Char Aznavour=Char Aznable so...haha
