Shocked Torogai (Moribito) didn't make the list; she was the first one I thought of when I saw the topic.

Yay, so glad Yukari Godai was on that list! Sure, she might not have superpowers, but she's easily the feisteist and most likable of the miniature senior citizens that Takahashi uses so often imo. And the biggest Takahashi troll, possibly even more of a troll than Mr. Yotsuya (but less of a mooch)

I don't think Makarov is a member of the Council, old or new. His friend was a member of the old council though.

A Ranma 1/2 character, but not Happosai? Lame.

True. But Gia doesn't seem to watch a lot of recent anime series in general.

The lack of Aramaki from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex confounds and offends me.

I really like the little old people Hari Tokeino draws (in Me & My Brothers, Gakuen Babysitters, etc...) They're mostly background characters (or doodles in the margins), but they're so cute. And I can just tell she has such fun drawing them :)

How exactly is Happosai cool? He's a total jerk.

Not to be "that guy" (this thread already seems infested with them)

But where's the granny from I My Me! Strawberry Eggs? She was awesome =O

So glad Happosai didn't make the "cool" list. He's completely obnoxious and possibly my most hated Ranma 1/2 character.

I think they are confusing his status as a guild leader who is on a regional council (recall the first "real" arc) with the idiotic magic council.

Edit: As for him being on the list, I think he's awesome. However, damn Mashima is always trolling me by having him act in ways that just seem ridiculously out of character even for someone who is as zany as he. Also, at his age, I should think his sex drive would be well beyond even saving by Cialis/Viagra, so I really don't understand all the erocom. That kind of stuff is just icky/do-not-want and not welcome.

Libra Dohko from Saint Seiya deserves an honorable mention.
