20 Best Pisces Anime Characters Ranked By Popularity
As the 12th and final Zodiac sign in the calendar, Pisces is a water elemental that represents people born between February 19 and March 20. Ideological and innovative, those born under the Pisces sign have a supernatural quality to them and seem to possess a sense of naïveté and curiosity their whole lives.
They often believe in the good of others and will likely give the benefit of the doubt. However, this works against them as their trustful and selfless nature results in malicious people taking advantage of them quite too often.
In this list, I will detail the 20 most popular Pisces characters in anime. As always, beware of spoilers.
