Without looking at the answers:
1. Sailor Moon
2. That thing from Madoka (?)
3. The guy from Trigun
4. No clue, but it looks really good actually, I'll probably check this one out
5. Ash Ketchum from Pokemon
6. Shinji from Evangelion
7. Luffy from One Piece
8. Eren from Attack on Titan
9. No idea but I've seen her around
10. Spike from Cowboy Bebop
So 6/10 (8/10 shows), not bad at all.

Advanced ones:
1. The girl from Ghost in the Shell, Major Something I think
2. The scientist from Stein's Gate
3. No idea
4. No idea
5. No idea
6. Inaho from Aldnoah, Christ his design is generic now that I think about it
7. No idea
8. The main character from Higurashi, can't remember his name
9. No idea, but it looks like she's from Clannad
10. No idea
So 1/10 names, 5/10 shows... not quite as good this time.

Second Advanced List:
I knew Emilia the Hero from The Devil is a Part Timer (one of my all time favorites, honestly) but no one else.

Third Advanced List:
Inferno Cop and no one else. Damn.

I'll give your's a shot.

Spoiler

1. She's from Angel Beats. Don't remember her name. She was only around for what the first 2 episodes?
2. I got nothing
3. Link is broken here
4. I like the look of him. Not that I recognize him though. I'll call him Ted. 'cause deep down he's probably a kind teddy bear (or a closet sociopath)
5. I want to say he's from Last Exile but I know that's not right. I'll call him Jeremy Coalstein.
6. What's with that hair? Is it frozen? How does it just hang like that?
7. I know it's from Ergo Prxy and not just because you *ahem* left the name of the anime in the picture. Though I haven't watched that show so I don't know who she is. I'll dub her Lain v2.0 now with guns!
8. Shiro? I dunno looks like a shiro to me.
9. She's... fuck I don't remember her name but she's from Anohana. That show was pretty good but my god its name is terrible. Its full name is Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. I had to look up how to spell the name.
10. Nope got nothing

Well that doesn't bod well for me anime credentials. Meh. I'm okay with that. Fix up some of the links and I'll see about adding this list to the OP.

All of them are major anime anyone would know. When your challenge is Sailor Moon, Trigun, One Piece, Attack on Titan, Haruhi, Evangelion, Pokemon, Serial Experiments Lain and Cowboy Bebop, any serious anime watcher will easily pick them.

That was sort of the point. The first list is suppose to be easy for serious watchers but for people who only casually watch anime I think it's plenty tough without being ridiculous. If you think the first list is too easy give the advanced list and some of the other lists others have posted a shot if you want more of a challenge.

 

[GundamSentinel]

1st list: 5
2nd list: 2
3rd list: 0
4th list: 0

Thank God I don't know more. Too many schoolgirls (the fuck, people...).

Then again, those are really not the types of anime I watch. I'll recognize basically every Gundam character though. XD

 

[ThreeName]

10/10. Shit.

The amount of people missing God Lain is really upsetting

 

[Ironbat92]

For the first list, I recognized 9 out of 10 characters (had no idea who # 4 was)
For the second list: 4 out of 10 (2,3,4,6,7,10 I have no idea where there from) I reconized
For the third list: Only 2 out of 10 (just 5 and 6 I've seen, though I may have seen 2 some where)
For the last list, only 1 (guy from Welcome to the NHK)

Yeah, I'm not a big anime guy.

 

[Platypus540]

Fix up some of the links and I'll see about adding this list to the OP.

Link is working now, but I swear it was working for me when I first made the post, so I'm not really sure what happened there. And I changed the picture where the show's name was right there.

Also, "Ted" from my list is actually a girl.

 

[Ikasury]

first list... too easy... second list, i didn't know 2... hardcore lists 3 and 4 made me smile as there are some of my favorite characters/shows on that

hooray!! Twelve Kingdoms and Kara no Kyoukai!! XD love love love~ not to mention Kino and Lain... most people never think of those two, i love them~

and super props for throwing up background characters XD those answers made me laugh and not feel 'so' bad for missing them~

 

[Ikasury]

10/10. Shit.

The amount of people missing God Lain is really upsetting

i know~ and its such a cool OMFG!!amazing!! old school scifi anime~ its like the origin of net = reality anime!!

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Original List: 9/10 (no idea who #8 is)

Advanced List: 7/10 (missed 2, 7, and 9)

From Van Q's list: I only got Rin from Fate/Stay Night. Well played. I thought I recognized several others, but I was wrong, being unfamiliar with almost all of those animes.

From Kira's list: I only got Yomiko Readman and Youko Nakajima. **owns 12 Kingdoms on DVD** Also well played.

I am tempted to do my own list. Very tempted....

 

[Tony2077]

missed 3 on the first one then it was all downhill from there mostly because I've never watched some of the series there from

Can anyone get 10/10 on my list? Remember - no peeking!

 

[gritch]

Alright. Put it on on the OP.

Also, "Ted" from my list is actually a girl.

Huh. Alright. I correct my name. It's Ms Ted then. Something tells me that character wouldn't approve of the name I've given them.

I am tempted to do my own list. Very tempted....

Go for it. The more the merrier.

EDIT: Well this comment is pointless now...

EDIT 2: Well since you went and made a list I'll try to answer it.

*looks at list* *deep sigh*

Spoiler

I only recognized 2 and I definitely couldn't name them. I recognized 1 and 3. I'm surprised someone else has watched Bubblegum Crisis. I'm not even sure I could name the protagonist from Mai-Hime let alone one of the great multitude of side characters.

I thought I was pretty in the know about anime. *shrugs* Guess there's always someone (or many someones) to do ya one better.

I'll add your list to the OP.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Go for it. The more the merrier.

EDIT: Well this comment is pointless now...

Tee hee! I was working on it from pretty much the second I posted originally.

So... you gonna put mine in the OP too? Please? Pretty please? **shoujo sparkles!!**

I saw! Yay!

Oh, and on a less sparkly note: is it just my computer, or is there something the matter with images 1, 4, and 10 (from my list on the first post, I mean)? They aren't displaying for me. Anyone else having this problem?

Oh, and Edit:

Spoiler

Bubblegum Crisis was, like, my favorite anime for YEARS. Eventually Utena bumped it from the top spot, but it remains firmly in my top 10 list.

They're working for me. *shrug* I just quoted your post so I don't know what's up.

If they're working for you, then that's fine. I preview tested them all, and they worked then.

Also of note is the fact that those three no longer work for me on this page either. **sigh**

If anyone else has this issue, quote me - I'll post new versions. If it's just my computer saying "hell no, too many images" then never mind.
