I don't really know how to type characters, but I'll take a guess and say that Lelouch Vi Brittania from Code Geass looks like an INTJ. A possibly unhealthy one, though well-intentioned. He exhibits a lot of Te and Fi.

Thy synopsis I wrote got too long, so instead I'll just say that it's basically about how Lelouch plans to anonymously tear a whole Empire down under the identity of Zero, the leader of the main rebel army. One of the main conflicts include the clash of ideals between Lelouch and his best friend, Suzaku. Suzaku is now a soldier (who eventually gets promoted) working for Brittania and he plans to change the world from the inside, whereas Lelouch plans to change the world by taking immediate action.

 

You had to go and add "good animes" right?

Sorry man, now I can't help you.

 

Nodame Cantobile, MOTHERFUCKER.

POP POP POP WATCHEN ALL DEM ORCHESTRAL PIECES DROP.

It's a very good show, I recommend it.

 

Death note. the anime character Nate River or his also know as Near, is from what I observe is an INTJ for he exhibited strong Ni functions.


Summary
Light Yagami, a straight-a student who picked up a death note (an item which can be used to kill a person whose name is written on it.) which was dropped by a shinigami named ryuk. He used the death note to kill criminals and took on the alias kira. Police we're reluctant to announce it as a murder for they lack evidence, but a world renowned detective known by the name of L has solidified the fact that it was a murder and pinpointing that kira is still a student. L concluded that Light Yagami is kira and therefore only needed evidence to accuse him, but by the time things are still investigated; Amane Misa a teen star claimed the title as second kira, thus making the situation more complex to solve, but L easily found the loops in it and arrested both Light and Amane. L got the death note but was killed by Rem the Shinigami of Misa.

Years passed by, Light took the title as second L. Light continued the murders, but was surprised by the sudden interruption of Near the inheritor of L, stating that he does not believe that he is L, but rather Kira. Near was successful on getting the evidence, concluding Light and kira is just one person and turning the tides with the help of Mello, another inheritor of L. In the end Light died and ryuk returned to his world.

 

Howl from Howls Moving Castle

 

What the hell? Howl was flamboyant, cocky, extremely extroverted, reckless, impulsive, quick to love... What did you gather from that which might suggest INTJ?

 

code geass = intj vs the world

 

Gendo Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion. A handful of 14-year-olds are burdened in 2015 with piloting huge mecha walkers to save humanity from mostly giant alien invaders while battling the deeply Freudian inner demons raging in each other and in the enigmatic adults charged with their care. Very famous and well-loved anime that uses a conventional genre for many heavy ideas and mind fuckery.

 

Alright so I just finished Code Geass, and I loved it! yeah, a little too quickly haha. Im going to start Death note soon. Thanks everyone for the suggestions! :happy:

 

Just making sure: You know there's a second season to Code Geass, right? Wouldn't want you to miss out on that one.

 

Re-l Mayer, the main character from Ergo Proxy is INTJ.

Also, Ishida from Bleach.

 

I have nothing to add, except that this thread is full of so much win.

 

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Cowboy Bebop

Excellent scripts, dynamic characters, beautiful animation styles and bomb soundtracks. Also humor that appeals to the INTJ crowd. Enjoy!

 

Because Digimon Tamers is my favorite show, I'd like to recommend that. It's got an amazing plotline (ending with a totally unconventional villain): The three main characters meet their partners and set about stopping any digimon who materializes in the real world, until they get caught up in something much bigger.

It has great character development for all main characters and in particular I feel it portrays the INTJ personality really well. I once complained here that INTJs in mainstream media seem to be pretty nasty characters in real life- that they're either villains or anti-heroes, and MOST are male. And on top of that, they're hard to relate to for me. I'm not average by any metric, but in the end I'm still not any sort of superhuman (and neither are most other INTJs), and many INTJ characters are written like that.

The show has a great female INTJ character: Ruki Makino. She's intelligent (Grand Prix winner), fiercely individualistic and snarky. She faces a lot of issues that INTJ females confront- she doesn't conform to most of society's expectations of a female, and doesn't get along with most people in society. Her mother is a model and constantly tries to mold her daughter in her own image, which caused her to rebel, and in the anime mother and daughter initially seemed to be reluctant housemates. Her mother doesn't really know what to do with her, and she comes and goes as she pleases. Generally, she's just very independent.

Like I was at that age (she's preteen), she looks down on any form of sentimentality and was extremely cold in her dealings with her partner digimon. She was also cold to the other two characters and tried to destroy their Digimon because her belief is that digimon only exist to destroy each other or be destroyed. Needless to say during the show she develops her Fi and learns how to make friends. Before the end her relationship with her mother also improves dramatically, as both learn to understand and accept each other. I find her development to be very realistic as I can see many of the same changes in myself as I aged (except she does it in the space of a couple of months, while my development too YEARS)

Her PARTNER, Renamon, seems to be INTJ as well. These two are nearly telepathic with each other.

This is, in my mind, how more INTJ characters should be written: neither an antihero or a villain, and certainly not always a mastermind genius. But simply an individual with problems of her own, and a rare personality that not many people can understand.

I would go for the Japanese version with subtitles than the English version...

 

Tamers was my favorite digimon season as a child, and I always loved Ruki for being a female character I could strongly relate to. Yet somehow I'd never thought of her as an INTJ (granted, I don't normally type fictional characters). This explains a lot.

 

I'm not good with typing so I just googled one of my favorite shows: Yu Yu Hakusho. The various people said Hiei is a possible INTJ and that Genkai is for sure an INTJ.

Plot Summary: One day, 14-year-old Yusuke Urameshi suddenly finds himself dead, having died pushing a child out of the way of oncoming traffic. Since he has such a bad personality, even the Spirit World was caught by surpise that he would sacrifice himself. Yusuke soon finds out he wasn't supposed to die and has a chance for resurrection and bringing his body back to life. After being resurrected, Yusuke becomes a Spirit Detective, along with his comrades, and one adventure after another happens, whether it be an investigation or a fighting tournament.

That's a horrible summery in my opinion, but it will do.

I haven't watched it in a few years, but it has so many bad ass fights and interesting dilemmas. If you know Hunter x Hunter then it might be helpful to know that they were made by the same person.

 

Death Note. Main character (Light Yagami) is an INTJ, though you've probably watched it by now

 

Rau Le Creuset from MS Gundam Seed
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=character&charid=14305

 

I started watching Code Geass and the primary character is incredibly designed.

 

Magical Girl Madoka, Kyubey maybe would fall under INTJ?

 

I don't believe Steins;Gate has been mentioned yet. Kurisu Makise(main heroine) is without a doubt an INTJ. I recommend everyone watch that show actually, it's about time-travel and the butterfly effect. Of course, there is a bit of a love plot tossed in there as well.

On the note of love though, if I found a real world version of Kurisu I would give anything I had to make her mine. And I'm not one to get attracted to characters.

But yeah. The main character considers himself a mad scientist. Which in a sense is true, but he isn't the INTJ mad scientist type. Watch it, you'll not regret it.

El Psy Congroo!

Okabe the ENTP

 

Ai Haibara from Detective Conan, she appears from episode 129 onward. The anime is a little cheesy, but entertaining, consists of rather separate detective cases. The main protagonist was a high-school detective, but was shrunk into a little kid by being forced to take a drug by a secret organization, now lives with his beloved girl´s family and solves cases incognito. Haibara is the scientist who developed the drug and was also shrunk.

 

Yea Ai Haibara is a real INTJ..I fucking love that girl : Lingua:

 

Kurotsuchi is definitely INTJ too. Urahara Kisuke seems like it as well...on the surface he seems more INTP but he's shrewd and calculating to the point of seeming more INTJ-ish.

 

Just finished Death Note, sooo much darker, and I loved it! I had a hard time choosing between L and Light tho haha.

 

Finished Code Geass and the primary character is incredibly designed. I love characters that understand strategy and dismiss no strategy, no matter how horrible it is considered, or unethical, or immoral. I predicted the end a few episodes before but it was still a phenomenal series.

 

Johan Liebert from Monster is probably the most chilling portrayal of an INTJ psychopath I've seen in a while. His level of manipulation and scheming make even the most iconic INTJ villains pale in comparison. Another notable example is Kotomine Kirei from the Fate series, although I'm struggling to figure out whether he's an INTJ or ISTJ, since he uses a lot of dominant Si in Fate/Zero, but either way he's one of the most dynamic and well-developed characters from Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night the visual novel (don't watch the anime; it's shit)

I also think Aramaki from GITS: stand alone complex is an INTJ, as is Gouda (but he's a bit of a pretentious asshole). Legato Bluesummers from Trigun is another INTJ and is also similar to Johan as he is a completely nihilistic psychopath. As is Vicious from Cowboy Bebop. All these anime I've mentioned are very good, but not all of them feature an INTJ protagonist. I like both Death Note and Code Geass, but the middle of Code Geass' second season is an absolute train wreck, and as much as I like Lelouch as a character, his development during that period of the show was all over the place. If you liked Code Geass, then I strongly recommend Legend of Galactic Heroes, which is older, but more serious and better written and has the similar strategical element that Code Geass does.

 

The anime Hyouka is a good anime, probably because the main character gives me the impression of an INTJ.

Hōtarō Oreki is the main protagonist of the series. He is a student at Kamiyama High School in class 1-B, and a member of the mystery solving Classics Club. Despite being a passive character who prioritizes energy conservation above all else, Hōtarō possesses brilliant deduction skills and oftens finds himself aiding the ever curious Eru Chitanda.

 

I watched Hyouka and think thatt Houtarou is a perfect example, this anime should appeal to INTJs. This anime is underrated.

 

Cowboy Bebop. Spike Speigal and also possibly Vicious.
