Now that an adaptation has been announced, I think it's time for a good poll for character reception. And the range of user favorites between major characters in this series is from 0-120 so I can't really get a grasp on it from that alone.
I listed the characters in order of User Favorites just to see if it contrasts and added a handful that never got respective pages due to either their recent introductions or lack of importance.

My personal order would be somewhere along the lines of
Rabac > Wave > Braht > Tatsumi > Seryuu...

If I'm missing a good character, tell me and I'll add em.

Can't wait to see Esdese animated... they better not screw this up. A lot of people are hyped for this, and I'm one of them. I sure don't want to be disappointed.

Hey guys, I didn't read the manga yet but it seems to be interesting so I'm kind of waiting the anime now.
So I would like to know what kind of MC is Tatsumi? Is he the kind who gets stronger and stronger? or a weak MC?
I apologise for any mistakes in my English.

Why does everyone like Esdese? Has she really done anything to stand out apart from being the strongest character and having a shallow crush on the protagonist?

I wouldn't say he's like a spineless harem lead but he is very dense and develops like any shounen protagonist would. You'll probably notice it the most around chapter 15 of the Manga if you do read it.

Arguably, his willingness to kill morally corrupt people he has grown attached to is really what gives him the edge over most run of the mill shounen.

Nah, her personality lead her to do some stuff that really makes me like her, like at the end of the 16th chapter (I think it was the 16th?). ImO she's the most original character in the story personality-wise.
I like Rabac and Chelsea as well, and I think Najenda is pretty nice. Seryuu was fun to follow as well. But esdese takes it for me as well. That's not really original, I know.
If I had to rank them up I would go to something like
Esdese
Chelsea
Rabac
Seryuu
Najenda
Bors (I think?)

I hope they dont ruin the character for Esdese and all the char in Jaeger so people can see how evil bitches they are. I just read the manga. I like Rabac, maybe Braht but they kill him really early just like that person in TTGL, so original, and Mein.

To be fair, TTGL wasn't exactly something to be called original either, but you might want to slap a spoiler on that. He was absolutely nothing like Kamina anyhow, I guess his role in the story was similar.

He was a great character, would have been my favorite had he stuck around.

I feel like the way the Jaegers are portrayed (in the Manga atleast) will hugely appeal to the masses of Anime fans, much moreso than Night Raid. Wild Hunt not so much, they're emotionally detached as characters and will likely attract masses of hate.

Funny because the only evident difference between the groups when taking personal problems out of the equation is that the Jaegers believe they are completely justified in what they're doing, well, Wild Hunt might aswell but they're really flat thus far.

Rabac because I like his weapon. I am not a fan of any of the character in my opinion because I find none of them that great. I really only like the Jaegars in all honesty outside of Esdesde (ugh the in love side contrasted with the great leader that people love and torturer ticks me off, stick with one damn personality) but I really like Boris the crazy gun for hands girl and about everyone else on the Jaegars.

Her dad observed that she was born a sadist because you can see that when she gets the danger beast eye or whatever. And even if you blame her dad's idea that the weak die it really doesn't justify anything she has done torture wise. She is morally irredeemable. She was always a sadistic person, she was simply born that way

Either make an Esdeath spin-off series or make her a main character with significant screentime. She's already the star of the manga with "crowd drawing" starpower similar to Yuno or other fan favorites. Complete waste if that doesn't happen.

Because people like strong badass girls.

Anyways, Tatsumi is a very well rounded protagonist. He's not weak, strong but not overpowered, master swordsman but lacks actual combat experience, which is his weakest points. He's not a bitch either. Great sense of duty, will not hesitate to kill, whether it's for the good or the bad. I think from reading the manga, he progresses too slow in terms of strength. He can hold his ground but I guess that's about it. Ofc he'll get smashed by esdeath and that grand general dude. I think he's my fav character so far, I don't really like some of the other characters.

Mines just a tsundere, Akame's just there to kick ass and look cute (when it comes to meat). I feel that most of night raid are just there for the sake of story. Tatsumi's the only one who's developed as a character in night raid I guess. Maybe I need to reread the manga o.o. Also 2nd fav Chelsea coz oh bby.

Or because she's the typical fanservice type character with a very annoying attachment to the MC

That's Esdeath in a nutshell.. Oh and tits
