I'm not very original... but Lelouch from Code Geass. He's intelligent, likable (sorta), and it was always awesome whenever he unleashed another one of his plans. The extents he was willing to go to complete his goals made him an awesome character. He's like Light from Death Note, except not a total ass. Okabe from Steins;Gate is also pretty awesome. He's a nice guy, but sorta awkward at the same time. The scenes where he pretends to talk to someone over the phone, but giving himself "missions" to actually help someone (like with Kurisu and her father) made me smile. On top of that, the stuff he goes through makes him an easy character to sympathize with.
