I know this is an obvious pregunta but I'm curious how many people might give me a different answer...

Yep.

Eh hard to say. There really isnt that large of a difference between real people and fictional characters save for that some fictional characters are más drastic in personality than real people - but as someone who has met some pretty drastic people, that isnt always true.

I think the only difference in this pregunta would be the process of having to find a real human person that is compatible with tu that tu like and that tu get along with and all that, versus just being able to pick one out automatically that tu know youll like and what not.

Of course its easier to go with the fictional character. tu get to pick them and tu have a good understanding that they are someone tu could probably get along with, but I would argue there is little major difference outside of being able to pick them.

If tu asked me before I found my fiance, I would probably say my fictional character because the dating scheme is a pain in culo and I dont have the energy to deal with shitty guesses.

If tu ask me now, Id take my fiance over anyone else o any fictional character.


Also just to be devils advocate, tu can't really say that if the anime character were to be dado full sentience that they would be as tu think they would be. They would have their own drives and their own life like any other human and in that case, they could be just as shitty as any other person.
