I know this is an obvious pergunta but I'm curious how many people might give me a different answer...

Yep.

Eh hard to say. There really isnt that large of a difference between real people and fictional characters save for that some fictional characters are mais drastic in personality than real people - but as someone who has met some pretty drastic people, that isnt always true.

I think the only difference in this pergunta would be the process of having to find a real human person that is compatible with you that you like and that you get along with and all that, versus just being able to pick one out automatically that you know youll like and what not.

Of course its easier to go with the fictional character. You get to pick them and you have a good understanding that they are someone you could probably get along with, but I would argue there is little major difference outside of being able to pick them.

If you asked me before I found my fiance, I would probably say my fictional character because the dating scheme is a pain in bunda and I dont have the energy to deal with shitty guesses.

If you ask me now, Id take my fiance over anyone else or any fictional character.


Also just to be devils advocate, you can't really say that if the animê character were to be given full sentience that they would be as you think they would be. They would have their own drives and their own life like any other human and in that case, they could be just as shitty as any other person.
