It's interesting to know what anime people use to obtain their avatars, especially when the characters are from a series we probably have never heard of. So I thought it might be fun to find out about the anime avatars on this board.
What series is the character/thing featured from and why did you decided to use it? Since some people tend to change avatars every now and then, let's consider this thread as a snapshot of your anime avatar at the moment.

My avatar is the Kpop singer Lee Jung Hyun. Why? Because I like her music.

The Main hero from Dragon Quest VIII. I like the character, though he's one of those "mute" RPG heros. Backstory is pretty cool and fraught with mystery. Also, the character design is just awesome. Check out his mouse! The mouse breathes fire if you feed him cheese.

Eluluu/Eruruu from Utawarerumono. She's cute, and ... well ... she's cute ... and ... umm ... she's cute. Even when she's angry.
Though she isn't quite as cute as her little sister.

Aruruu. She's cute, and well, cute, and in a phrase... cute and uh, let's see, cute... what else...? Cute, that's it. And very very, very.... cute.
And she is cuter than her older sister.

*looks at my own avatar*
*AHEM*
This is ChristianKitsune's Chubby Chibi form! She is from the anime called "CK's Sketchpad of Cuteness!" Since I am the only person able to fully view it, I guess it falls under the "Share this anime that no one has heard much about!" Category!
CK's Chubby Chibi form is like an uber cutified version of an already cute version! She is very cute, and because she is so cute I use her all the time! She has quickly become my cute mascot! Why? Well lookee her! she is cuuute!"
XD sorry... I dont usually use anime avatars...but I do enjoy looking at them! And trying to guess what anime they are from! ^_^
My post was just for fun, sorry if it's annoying to annyone

My avatar right now is a fanart of Jasdero and Debitt, the Noah twins from D.Gray-man. Why? Because they're far and away my favorite characters in the series - they have very eye-catching character designs, and such...animated personalities. XD;
The avatar I had before was chibi Debitt, and I'm pretty sure the one before that was chibi Jasdero. XD So, uh, yes. Small obsession right now.

My avatar is Alexander Vorg Zangief (aka Vorg) from Hajime no Ippo. He's just a cool dude. I can't say much about him without being spoilery, unfortunately. My user title, "white fang", is his special punch.

My avatar is Rorschach from Watchmen. Watchmen is my favorite Graphic Novel, and Rorschach is one of my all time favorite characters.

Avatar is the traveling guitarist Yabukie Joe from 20th Century Boys. He "Was dead in heaven," but is now traveling Japan, and is often confused for an invader from space. In brief, he's awesome.
I might change it sometime in the near future, though.

My avatar is the cute but deadly Ilyasviel von Einzbern ("Ilya" for short) from Fate/Stay Night. Mostly because she's cute and deadly, but still a good little girl on the inside. I wanna hug her! >///////////<

This is a sketch I did quicky because I got bored of having a gun-toting Italian agnostic semiotician as my avatar.

Mine's Raquel from Scrapped Princess, mostly because she's my favorite female anime character. (I own her
fanlisting. So click here to come and join if you like her too! ) < / shameless plug >
She's also close to me in age, and I am the oldest of 3 siblings just like she is.

I tend to make avatars from my own art, but my current one here's an exception. It's Vincent Law from Ergo Proxy, (which I'm really into right now). I've only seen the first 8 episodes so far, but it's stacking up to be one of my favorites. *crosses fingers for a good ending* 'Non Mi Destar' is relevant to the series and is Italian/Latin for "Do not awaken me."

Mine's Takumi Mayama. We're both young guys struggling to act mature but still screwing ourselves up with confused choices...

My avatar is named Mokoto. He's not from an anime, but he would like to be in one! He works for NASA in Mission Control, which is why you can sometimes find him standing in front of a giant computer, and he also takes random flights to the moon to make sure everything is peaceful. He has an older brother, Tanaka, who lives on the coast and loves bunnies.

animes.
Mitsuki is also the type of girl I would love to marry one day.

It's not from anime. It's from a comic book, Thieves and Kings. I like the art of this character, so I put her in my avatar. I used this picture (with the frown), because that's the only one I could cut the right size for an avatar. Sad but true.

Mine is a character I made up.
It's from an manga series I'm writing and illustrating called "Testament Eschaton".
His name is Gabriel. He's the main character.

Mine's Kanna from Air. The summer arc was my favorite, which is why I chose her.
