Creating a list of the ten most simped over anime characters of all time is not an easy endeavor. In fact, there are so many characters that it's hard to choose from. Several fans have expressed admiration for male characters to the point that fan culture has persevered.
Most male simped over characters are from more well-known anime such as Naruto or Death Note. The reason may be due to the opinion that several of these characters have interesting motives that contradict the narrative.
Another reason could stem from the relative attractiveness of the character, as attraction breeds likeability in terms of marketing. It is nothing short of the basis of the human mind.
