Fullmetal Alchemist!

[astridv]

my favourite female character

Riza Hawkeye

my favourite male character

Roy Mustang

my favourite book/season/etc

That's the thing with FMA, it's all so tight and connected that it's almost impossible to pick just one part. I mean, on rewatch I gravitate towards episodes that feature Roy and Riza prominently, but overall, no, can't pick one.

my favourite episode/issue/chapter, etc

So difficult... maybe the one in Briggs, where the whole devious plan becomes clear. That moment stands out... but there are so many great moments throughout the story!

my favourite cast member

I'd say Miki Shinichiro, because Roy's voice is way hot. :)

my favourite relationship

Roy/Riza. Comrades in arms who trust each other and rely on each other to atone for their wrongdoings, to the point of codependence. Whether the relationship is romantic isn't even that important because they're close no matter what. (But I think it is. ;)

a character I'd die defending

Winry. Cuz fandom loves to bash a chick and Winry has done nothing to deserve it.

a character I just can't sympathize with

Envy.

a character I grew to love

Greed.

my anti otp

Roy/Ed. So don't get it.

I shall be predictable and say Avengers movieverse. :)

my favourite female character

Now who could that be? :D

my favourite male character Hawkeye

my favourite book/season/etc

Well, counting all the movieverse, TA is hands down my favorite.

my favourite episode/issue/chapter, etc

If I add the comicverse, my favorite Natasha book is The Name Of The Rose by Majorie Liu, about which I've waxed poetic in the past here.

my favourite cast member

Jeremy Renner. I've loved him in everything else I've seen him in.

my favourite relationship

Natasha/Clint. I could almost copypaste what I wrote about Roy/Riza above to describe what I find appealing about them. :)

a character I'd die defending

Pepper! Stop with the Pepperbashing, fandom. Stop being such a disappointment.

a character I just can't sympathize with

Loki, in the movie. I can sympathize with him in a handful of fic, when I'm in the mood.

a character I grew to love

I would say all of them, because I used to say I don't like superhero characters because I can't connect to them.

my anti otp

Clint/Coulson. It's like, every one of my relationship squicks, this pairing hits it square in the middle.

Do I really have to say? :)

I'll take a wild guess. ;)

my favourite female character

Elizabeth. Who's loyal and badass, completely ruthless when she needs to be, but also has a vulnerability and loves her family as much as she loves Russia.

my favourite male character

Good question. I like Philip, I find him interesting, but I don't love him as much as Elizabeth. Still, has to be Philip.

my favourite book/season/etc

Only one season so far...

my favourite episode/issue/chapter, etc

I find it hard to pick on ep in a show that isn't really episodic in nature. Right now I'd pick the finale. But on rewatch I might choose a different one. "Gregory" was the ep that cemented my interest in the show.

my favourite cast member

Again having to pass this, I don't know anything about the cast..

my favourite relationship

The relationship between Elizabeth and Philip is fascinating even if I don't 'ship' it in an overinvested, fandom way.

a character I'd die defending

Elizabeth

a character I just can't sympathize with

That's the thing about the storytelling on this show; I can sympathize with pretty much all of them.

a character I grew to love

Claudia!

my anti otp

Stan/Nina

Great answers! Mine would probably be similar...
