Difficult question, I tend to enjoy the refreshing feel side-characters can give to certain shows, so a lot of my most liked characters are side-characters, but thinking of a certain character which I wanted to see the most, it has to be Ichijou.

i've never laughed to an anime more than at this scene. every scene with hosaka was just pure gold

  Takamatsu was pretty boss.

Are you a mahou shoujo? Because Hosaka was pretty much the first character I thought of.

'Did you sweat a lot today?'
'Yeah, at least three liters.'

Half of his lines are pure gold.

I tend to like side character more than protagonists, too. Here's a short list, I really tried to keep it to minimum:

- Animal Soldiers from Sunred, especially Usa (damn Usa you're so moe)
- Sanae from Ika Musume
- Natsume and Yoshinoya from Hidamari Sketch
- speaking of Matsuki Miyu Isumi from HnG is so cute she gave me diabetes (and Yoshinoya ruined my nutbladder); HnG has a great cast of supporting characters in general and I like lots of them (Sakuya, Izumi)
- Namie Yagiri from Durarara!! (possesive older sisters are my fetish)
- Kurumi from KnT (and I tend to have lots of sympathy for bitchy characters like her)
- Sachi from Maria†Holic (being this cute should be a capital offense; also, I have a thing for readheads)
- various girls from SZS, Ai in particular (Ai is love)
- quite a few characters from Shiki - Megumi, Masao, Tatsumi

... And countless others.

Obligatory

I'm the guy who posted hosaka, are we the same person or something? I can basically agree with everything you posted.

Lucky Star: Misao and Konata's dad.
Genshiken/2: Angela(?), the bibro American girl.
As mentioned, Hosaka.

along with hosaka, hoshi is also king side character

Might be DID. I bet the part where we can't agree is Kurumi. Possibly Namie, to, but since she had next to none screentime...

Let's try some more specific characters if that's the case.

- Nora from Spice and Wolf
- Nice Holystone from Baccano!; also, Chane to a lesser extent
- literally every single character in Seitokai Yakuindomo
- Kashiwa Hitomi from NHK (that conspiracy theories girl; just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't trying to get you)
- Tarou's older sister from MM! (again, possesive older sister; however, I tend to like the crazy/sadistic types much more, such as Ririko from Sharin no Kuni; by the way, Yuko Goto should really voice more characters like her - while I have nothing against her ara ara ojousama roles I loved her in SnK, perfect voiced for Ririko)
- some characters from Natsume Yuujinchou, but since I saw both seasons so long ago I have some problems recalling all of them; definitely Reiko (there's something about roguish 2D girls which makes them really cute), Natsume's stepmother and (we're getting really specific here) Tamiko. It's that little girl that ended up in a hole with Madara and shared some choclate (IIRC) with him. Considering my heart problems that scene could've been fatal for me.
- I'm inclined to say Yoshino from Marimite but she's not really a side character I guess (but it sure looks that way when you have so many main characters)

I was actually thinking about posting him. I liked Maria, too.

He's the only reason I didn't drop Tenjou Tenge.

My God how could I forget

>>3077

Also Snufkin. They are voiced by the same guy.
