In terms of Shonen/Seinen Series, which one do you think has the best set of characters? I have a personal pick but i am curious to know what other people think of this.
Hinomaru Zumou another sports manga running in Jump did as well until it's story/structure shift, it's reasonably common in team sports manga.I like that Haikyu spreads its plot/focus around all of the characters on the team, and even delves into the key members of opposing teams as well.
Granted, it's not as long running as many of the ones mentioned here, but I think it does a really great job of not falling into the trap of only focusing on the main characters.
One Piece. Every character is very memorable, not just the main ones. JoJo is a close second.
Naruto cast is one of the main problems with part 2 as all the cool people are barely used. Like whatever happened to rock Lee i love that guyPart 1 naruto has a really well rounded and great cast and it's an amazing cast overall till obito and tobi become the same person ( 2 awesome characters separated combine to make 1 lame one )
It does when that continuity ensures that cast it continually developed which isn't true for most shounens or rather the vast majority.Also oda having excellent continuity does not necessarily make for a great cast
All I'm saying
One piece is my favorite because of the cast. Oda has to have an awesome personality to be able to create so many unique and amazing characters in the 20+ years that he has been writing the series.One Piece. Every character is very memorable, not just the main ones. JoJo is a close second.
Also oda having excellent continuity does not necessarily make for a great cast
All I'm saying
Umm we haven't seen the entire cast together for 1-2 years, we just had an arc entirely focused on one crew member.This.
Entire main cast has been reduced heavily to one note gimmicks in favor of the side characters we get every chapter.

Three Words - Steel Ball RunAraki cant write JoJo story for shit.. but his character is fucking amazing.. I can name like 40ish memorable character from that which is absurd.
