Before watching a show, did you ever assume what a character's personality would be like? Perhaps based off looks, style, or even what people say on Reddit or any anime forums?

I thought Celty was just a normal character with a helmet
Turns out she's best girl
I thought she'd be a really mysterious, intimidating and frosty character who eventually opens up and becomes more human.
Instead, she's a normal-ish girl from the beginning, one who likes movies, goes on chatrooms, has insecurities, is paranoid about aliens, and has a cat-themed background on her laptop. In terms of personality she might be the most "human" character in the show, and she was like that from the start.
Also, beware of the traffic police.
Before I watched Evangelion, I thought I was going to hate the MC. I was pleasantly surprised.
Shinji suffers from severe depression and was neglected as a child. Poor kid needs to be in therapy, not in an EVA. I don't like him, but I can sympathize.
Recently started watching Katanagatari and I was completely wrong about Togame lmao. I thought she would be a kuudere, kinda stoic, and badass in terms of fighting skill. Welp...
Anyway, I didn't know she could be so adorable at times. Cheerio
Oh boy, you are in for a ride.
Pretty much all the characters in that show you think you've figured out and then they throw you for a loop I love it
Finished episode 5 last night and gonna continue when I get home from work. Katanagatari ep 4 spoilers
By the way as a helpful tip do not type in Katanagatari (or related charachters) into google or youtube because you might encounter some large spoilers.
Yeah, I've already learned the hard way for a few other series..
Haha same as me. Probably because of the white hair and her cross-eye.
I love the way she totally acknowledge that she's weak af.
Major Von Stroheim from Jojo part 2 was a pleasant surprise.
I thought Rem and Ram would just be cliche/token maid twins because you can't have a fantasy anime (or really anime for that manner) without maids. I thought they'd be treated as most twins are in anime, as basically one character, often used for harem-building or comedic relief.
They started that way, but I was highly impressed by how the show gave each some depth (especially Rem), explored the differences between them and the insecurity/jealousy that are a result of that. Rem's smile was truly a wonderful moment this season.
I watched Madoka as it was airing so I'd go with that.
You could say every one of the main girls took an unexpected turn if you thought they were cookie-cutter in the beginning.
But I'd say Kyouko and Homura.
I expected Segawa from Netoge no Yome to be that typical childhood friend, half-foreign, filthy rich, clingy tsundere. She turned out to be the most hilarious and likable member of the cast and she's poor as fuck to boot! I love it!
Yeah, thought I was gonna hate her. Boy, was I wrong. She's probably my favorite among the cast along with Neko-sensei.
I thought Shuuichi from Hibike Euphonium was going to be a lot worse based on how people here talk about him. It turns out he was a pretty decent guy.
Yeah, I liked him. I also happen to ship him and Kumiko.
However, Kyoani has let the Yuri flags fly wayyyy too high this time. There's no possible route but the Yuri route, or else the first season will have so much of an unnecessary yuri vibe that it'll basically make no sense. Anyone who watched that show and didn't think there were some crazy lesbian undertones wasn't paying attention. That's why people don't like Shuuichi, because him and Kumiko are probably the actual pairing, which while cool doesn't really make any fucking sense.
There're so many scenes in the show that could create perfect moments between Kumiko and Shuuichi, but obviously KyoAni decided to skip through it or focus on Kumiko. I'm still waiting to see how they gonna do with all the relationships in season 2 (especially OVA spoiler )
I liked him already but especially in the OVA he got a bit more development and it was good.
That reminds me I need to watch the OVA.
Kaiki Denshuu
Best girl
I thought Kagura was just one of those cute "lolis". Never been so wrong.
Her Gintama is fucking terrifying
Kagura...cute HAHAHA You must be new to the Yoruza Gang.
To be fair she can be cute at times. I'm currently at episode 290 btw
Kagura
Cute loli
Nothing best describes the first shounen jump heroine to puke on tv.
I didn't know much about FMA:B going in, so based off the cover I actually thought Ed was a young adult (around 20 maybe?).
So I was surprised when I saw a short 15-year old with a high pitched voice.
Senjougahara Hitagi.
And thats because she grows as a character so fast that she surprises me everytime she is on screen.
I didn't even knew she was the main character when i started bake since i was lured due to Renai Circulation so I though nadeko was the main girl.
Good thing nadeko is still the best girl, though.
You mispelled worst

I originally though Al from FMA was going to be some form of ancient warrior/absolute badass companion when I first saw the show's poster after hearing about it from a friend.
Turns out it was a sweet cinnamon roll child just travelling with his brother.
I love how you called him a cinnamon roll but its true. Al is such a sweet boy.
True that, but imagine my surprise when I expected some kind of deep hollow voice to come from within the armor; only to find out it was a 14 y/o. Nevertheless, FMA ended up being one of my favorites by far.
QB from Madoka
Satsuki from Kill La Kill
Traps
In Erased
Nico and Yoshiharu from Kiznaiver. When I was first introduced to them, I thought they were just annoying characters. However, now they have become my favorites from the show.
My opinion on Okabe really changed, initially I thought he was obnoxious, unti I saw the way he was caring for Mayuri, when the shit hit the fan, I couldn't help but root for him.
Thought Koichi from Jojo part IV would be a pussy ass bitch.
Boi was I ever wrong.
Koichi is the fucking man, and honestly right now is my favorite new character from part IV and that's saying something because I love Jotaro and I think Josuke and Okuyasu are pretty swell as well.
Part IV has the best cast of all the parts I've seen so far because it's barely started and each character has developed a lot.
Yukako made a man out of him. God bless the OG Yandere.
I thought he would be the nerd, smart guy in the crew. Turned out he is the Polnareff of Part 4.
Okuyasu seems more like Polnareff than Koichi.
Koichi seemed like some fucking brat but Koichi is basically a Speedwagon character combined with a jobro character.
The way I see it, there are multiple moments in Part 4 where you can tell Koichi levels up his manliness stat. We've seen a couple so far, being the fights with Tamami, where he finally mans up and throws a punch, and Yukako, where he forgives the person who just put him through the worst few days of his life.
