I don't ship crazy things in anime as much as other fandoms... so I tend to just stick with canon pairings and even then I never ship anything ~like burning~ anymore. Closest thing to that I can think of that was at all recent was Okabe and Kurisu in Steins;Gate so let's go with that. I pretty much ship anything forced in your face in any anime these days though. Whoops!
I couldn't think of any side character that is my favorite, the one that I stands out to be very likable by me is probably her. She was awesome, Suzuki definitely fell for the right princess \m/
I have a few support characters in my top faves.
Kamitsure - Pokemon
Wolfgang Grimmer - Monster
The whole side cast of Gintama
Paul von Oberstein - LotGH
Day 17: Favorite Couple
Akari Kamigishi and Hiroyuki Fujita from To Heart.[/B] They're the classic high school couple and through the series you can see them slowly building up from childhood friends into something more. It's so simple in concept, yet it's so... nice... as well.
Day 18: Favorite Side Character
Well, sorry for going back to this series again, but I'm going to say Masuko Mika from Yes Pretty Cure 5! Because her ongoing quest to get the "scoop" on Pretty Cure for the school paper, her snooping has often had hilarious results, and her nosiness has earned her run-ins with villains like Arachnea and Bunbee. Plus she has those glasses that give off a blinding shine whenever she's onto something :P

Day 15 - Favorite hero/heroine Ken, from Hokuto no Ken I guess F/sn had an adaptation of two of its routes (arguably), so I'm going to change this to Emiya Shirou from Fate/stay night. But I only read the VN, I haven't seen the anime.
Day 16 - Favorite villain I can't think of any I particularly like in anime; most villains I like are either in video games, comics, or books. Kotomine Kirei, F/sn

CCS OTP
I love getting sidetracked. I saw this thread the day after it was posted and thought "Hm... this looks good, I'll reply to it later." and then forgot about it. XD
Day 01 - Very First Anime
Truth be told... I don't know. I want to say Dragonball Z, but it could be that or Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Ronin Warriors, Tenchi, Outlaw Star, or Samurai Pizza Cats. That's the only old anime that comes to mind, so it has to be one of them.
Day 02 - Your Anime Crush
I have two, and both I really like so it's worth naming both. Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann. And Makise Kurisu from Steins;Gate. Yoko was my first big major crush, she was the reason why I watched TTGL. There was just something about her long red hair, her skimpy outfit, and her .... well you know XD.
If you had asked me before Steins;Gate if I liked anyone as much as Yoko I would have likely told you no one will get that close. By the end of Steins;Gate I had to think long and hard on if I liked Kurisu better. I like Yoko better as a crush, but as a character overall that goes to Kurisu.
Day 03 - Current (or most recent) anime wallpaper
I have a bunch of backgrounds (361 to be exact) on 10-20 minute rotation. I'd say 90% of them are anime. Here's what I had at the moment of taking these screenshots. (Click to enlarge)
This one is from my laptop and monitor.
This one is from my desktop computer.
Day 04 - Anime Guilty Pleasure
I don't really have one.
Day 05 - Anime you think had the best/most intriguing art
I don't know about "best" but the first thing that came to mind was Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls. I know of a few people who didn't like the art style of this show, I on the other hand loved it. It was something different. I wouldn't say it's the "best", but as far as intriguing... I'll go with that.
Day 06 - Favorite AMV/MAD
There are a few major spoilers, so if you haven't seen Steins;Gate and plan on watching it then you shouldn't watch this vid.
Another one I really liked was...
It's a bunch of OPs from shows/games in the style of other OPs from shows/games.
Day 07 - Most treasured anime-related merchandise (if you don't have any, something you want)
I have a few anime boxsets that I have that I like. But the fav item in my collection would be...
It rests nicely on my desk, it's to the left of my laptop, so I see it every day. XD
I also plan to get this, and put it next to it. But I'm waiting for the price to drop just a hair.
Day 08 - Favorite Action/Adventure
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. I really couldn't think of a show that could top TTGL when it comes to Action/Adventure. With everything blowing up, galaxy level fights, and epicness thrown all over the place...
Day 09 - Favorite Slice of Life
Toradora! and K-ON!. I got down to fav hero on this post and at the same time watching/listening to that OP MAD and was like "Wait, where's Toradora! on my post?" so I had to go back and edit this. XD
I loved Toradora!, it started out as "I need a finished series to watch so I can have something to watch", but I got hooked and couldn't stop with just one or two eps at a time. I loved the characters and how the story went.
I started watching K-ON! because everyone was like "OMG it's awesome!", at first I was like "Who wants to watch a show about a bunch of girls play music?". But it turned out to be really really good, and for me it had a few memorable moments. I really liked both series of K-ON.
Day 10 - Favorite SciFi/Mecha anime
Steins;Gate. I've always been a SciFi fan. Star Trek, Stargate, Star Wars, etc. And I also know a little about time travel theories, so what I saw in S;G I was quite happy with. Not only does it show you different types of theories, but it also shows you what happens if you play around with time.
Day 11 - Favorite Shonen anime
Fullmetal Alchemist. Wiki says it's shonen, and MAL says it's shonen, so they better be right. XD
Day 12 - Favorite Shoujo anime
Nothing really comes to mind.
Day 13 - Favorite Seinen anime
Angel Beats!. Cid said AB's manga was counted as seinen... so yea... I'm going with that and list Angel Beats!. It's one of my top 3 series and I was trying hard to find a place to put it, so here it is. XD
Angel Beats to this date is the only series where I'd torrent the show and not wait for a DDL (even if these days all the good download sites are gone, so I have to torrent). I want the next ep so bad that on Friday (I think subs came out Friday) I'd sit there and every few mins refresh the page to see if they have the ep out. Angel Beats is my second fav show/anime, when it finished it took the title away from Gurren Lagann.
Day 14 - Favorite Josei anime
Eden of The East. Does this count? If so then I'll go with it. XD
Day 15 - Favorite hero/heroine Kotetsu Kaburagi from Tiger & Bunny. Here we go, picking a hero from a hero show XD. Kotetsu was an awesome character, a dad, and funny all wrapped into one.
Episode 24-25 spoiler
Spoiler:
When he was talking to Barnaby at the end of ep 24, and when it looked like he had died I was squalling. I don't think I cried that much over a male character "dying" since Kamina died on TTGL (and if he did die he would have been in my overall top 5 saddest "deaths"). And in ep 25 when he finally got up I was crying again because I was so glad he didn't die.
Day 16 - Favorite villain Takeshi Kurusu from Kore wa Zombie Desu ka. You have all kinds of villains out there. Ones that want to take over the world, ones that want to change the world, ones that want to destroy the world. But what kind of villain says they're to blame for CDs not selling, or why Summer is too hot, or why you ran out of toilet paper this morning? This one does... On top of that she's cute, and gets drunk all the time, and is crazy. XD
Day 17 - Favorite couple
I don't really have 1 fav, but I do have a few. Here they are not in any order.
Okarin x Kurisu - Steins;Gate Otonashi x Kanade - Angel Beats
Kamina x Yoko - Gurren Lagann
Simon x Nia - Gurren Lagann Ryuuji x Taiga - Toradora!
Day 18 - Favorite side character
Hinata from Angel Beats!
Day 07 - Most treasured anime-related merchandise (if you don't have any, something you want)
Probably my slowly growing collection of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters manga. But I would really like to have a couple of figures sometime, especially Good Smile Company's Nendoroid Hatsune Miku - hnnng so cute.
Day 08 - Favorite Action/Adventure
Without a doubt, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's just so hilariously over the top and fun to watch through.
Day 09 - Favorite Slice of Life
I'll just say K-ON! For this one. I mean, who doesn't like cute girls doing cute things?
Day 10 - Favorite SciFi/Mecha anime
According to MyAnimeList, Paranoia Agent is listed as a SciFi anime so let's go with that. It has a fantastic soundtrack and a colourful cast of characters. It's just overall a good anime. The OP is also the best OP ever.
Day 11 - Favorite Shonen anime
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. Admittedly I haven't actually seen the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime yet, but I am reading the manga!
Day 12 - Favorite Shoujo anime
Again it's a manga (I honestly can't really think of any shoujo anime I've watched), but Sukitte Iinayo. I haven't read it in aaaages but the art is beautiful and the story is really cute.
Day 13 - Favorite Seinen anime
Arakawa Under the Bridge. I enjoyed it a lot, I thought the characters were interesting – especially the guy that dresses up as a nun, whose name escapes me at the moment.
Day 14 - Favorite Josei anime
Can't think of any josei anime series I've watched either. But I did start reading the Honey & Clover manga and it was actually pretty good, but I just sort of… forgot about it lol. So yeah I'll just say Honey & Clover for now.
Day 15 - Favorite hero/heroine
Hero: Yuki from Mirai Nikki. I guess I would say Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!. In the first few volumes/season 0 he starts out as a psychopath, killing the odd person here and there and he just doesn't give a ****. He slowly begins to regain his sainty but still manages to retain his badass image.
Heroine: Alice from Pandora Hearts.
Day 16 - Favorite villain
I would probably say Yami Bakura from (yes, you guessed it!) Yu-Gi-Oh!. He actually has a legitimately good reason for being evil.
Day 17 - Favorite couple
Not really a shipper to be honest but I always thought Simon x Nia from TTGL was cute.
Day 18 - Favorite side character
Saru from Kemonozume
okay everyone go home this is clearly the best side character ever to exist
Day 19 - Favorite character design
EVA-Beatrice from Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Gotta love R07's character designs.
Day 19 - Favorite character design
One character in particular doesn't come to mind, but I really like the designs by that guy who does them for Cencoroll/Tsuritama.
