Anime Fanart Challenge List -- 02/25/15

There are a few "100 Theme" challenge lists here at deviantART, and I've always liked the idea behind them. But I noticed that a lot of people would use a canon anime character to respond to each entry. So I thought: why not simply have a "100 Anime Character" challenge list? I made this list using the 120 most popular anime characters according to the poll at Anime-Planet: www.anime-planet.com/character…
