Nice list, although I expected that someone from Chrono Crusade would be in.

And to bad Stone Ocean isn't animated yet, otherwise Enrico Pucci would definitely in this list.

What about Kirei from the Fate series?

This. Seriously, the guy spends his life trying to be the most devout Catholic possible... in the Anderson from Hellsing variety... (seriously, he basically starts out as a far-less-manic Anderson) and then realizes, "hey, I get off on other people's pain and suffering, TIME FOR SOME FUN." He spends the rest of his days alternating between trolling justice-minded heroes for his own amusement and hatching devious plots to drive people in despair into... more despair, while never forgetting to enjoy his wine.

I would have said Altena in Noir but I guess she technically is not a priest?

Neither is Yolanda, who's on the List, so that seems like a legit choice.

I voted for DVD collecting (although, I mostly do BD collecting) in the new poll. Watching the shows is of course my favorite part of fandom, but I think this is a given, and therefore, should not be in the poll.

I took that answer to be "None of the above. All I care about is watching the shows; the rest of the fandom can take a long walk off a short pier."

Mozgus from Berserk was more than unholy as he captured and tortured hundreds (if not thousands) - I'm surprised he isn't on this list.


I'm guessing the same reason Ivan Isaacs from "Priest" isn't. Anime only.

Rejice, Kotomine Kirei. Your cover was not blown up by this top, so you can continue your trolling sessions.

I was going to put "watching the shows" for the poll, but in all honesty, I spend more time checking ANN and CR than actually watching anime (sadface). I like the shows a lot, but I also find learning about the business and production side of anime and their history to be really interesting. When I first came to ANN, many of the articles and news seemed excessively detailed about production staff and companies and varying business ventures and not very interesting, but as I continued reading about anime, I gradually grew aware of how those boring articles actual had meaningful implications for anime and what shows we might expect for the coming seasons. So...learning about anime, because I enjoy watching it?

Yes, me too.
I can spend hours browsing for any anime/manga-related stuffs. One leads to the other (almost unconsciously). Curiosity is a scary thing.

*though I've voted for interacting with other fans

Honorable mention to Adam Blade/Zero from Needless a priest who keeps grenades in his Bible just in case.


This man here should have won it. On top of being a clone of the second coming of christ. He is a lolicon, a battle nut prpbably doesn't know a single line from the bible and just doesn't give a damn about anything except his friends and dem lolis.

He's like the unholy/anti priest personified LOL.

Glad to know multiple people have already voiced Kirei, as I feel he should have been on that list.
