Sorry, just remembered another one.
Zero Kiryu from Vampire Knight
No worries! Post as much as you'd like. I limited myself to four so I have more to talk about
. Now that I have covered my top four, I'll bring up some more.
Earliest crushes (and I think I still have crushes on them):
Greed from FMA/Brotherhood - the first Greed. I like his design way more than Ling Yao's. He was the only homunculus I liked. I thought his powers were cool and pretty attractive too. Maes hughes has always been one of my favorites along with Roy Mustang, but I honestly don't know if I ever had a crush on him.
Roy Mustang - not sure what to sure other than he is good looking, had cool type of alchemy type, and of course, extremely bad ass.
Saito from Ghost in the Shell SAC - He's not one of my top favorites, but I always liked him the most out of Section 9. Batou is a favorite too but not as "husbando. I liked his skills as a sniper and in general combat and he seemed pretty much a bad ass to me.
Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket - I could relate to a lot of the characters, but I felt like I could relate the most to Kyo. I honestly can't remember what drew me to him, if it was because he turned into a cat, or if it was empathy/sympathy. I always been attracted to him (I only read the manga, I can't get into either version of the anime, but I may not have given it big enough chance).
Auron from FFX - my number one favorite Final Fantasy Character (I haven't played too many). I do prefer how he looked when he was younger, but still looks good even after all those years wandering and hanging around Tidus. I like everything about him--from his cynicism, fighting abilities and skills, appearance, gruff personality. He always have been a really cool character and kicks a lot of butt.
One more for today
Naked Snake aka Big Boss - I also love Solid Snake as well
. Later on in the games, I don't like Big Boss or his motives much until his brief reappearance in Guns of the Patriots. In MGS3, my favorite, I really loved him and his design. I didn't care for the "love scene" with Eva though lol (those type of scenes always makes me uncomfortable whether it is a movie or live action). Anyways, I still am very fond of snake overall (regardless what happens in the story). 
i think as far as video game crushes go i definitely have many but i’ll go with the one i remember the most:
Cordelia from FE: Awakening, man I just love her. I was so bummed I couldn’t S support her playing the female character so I replayed it as a male so I could marry her
She’s a character that I just loved even though her role in the story wasn’t exactly huge. I usually hate the too perfect trope like wow your only flaw is that you’re too good at things, how complex, but her supports had ended up touching on how it’s affected her and her perception of herself. How it led to high expectations she wasn’t really sure she could hit and honestly yeah I felt that. She’s actually so far from perfect and it shows, both in her obsession with someone she’s too scared to make a move on (which in itself already debunks her false perfection, why would someone as respectable as her have trouble talking to a guy?) and in her self doubt. She was a wreck wearing the mask of a genius and I love that that’s where her character went instead of just being “i’m perfect”. She really was someone just doing her best to not let others down and how could I hate that. I think I love her so much because I went from absolutely hating her to caring a lot about her character. Anyways sorry for long rant I thought this was a great opportunity to revisit her character TT

♡ let me paint you a picture ♡
I’m so glad this thread became a thing! Honestly, I’ve never had much anime crushes, but I have a lot of video game crushes... I’ll just do the most prominent one at the moment.
1. Dimitri (Fe3h)- AGH I actually love him! I remember him being my first S Support and how happy I was going through Azure Moon with him. By far my number one boy. I love his personality and how he develops throughout the game. Plus, the eye-patch is always a nice addition.

I don't really have a lot of video game crushes, since most of my fictional crushes come from movies or novels. There's really only one I can think of.
Professor Hershel Layton, a true gentleman.
I've been somewhat in love with the professor since the first game, and nothing about his depiction has changed my opinion. My only regret is that we don't have more games.

I loooove this thread.
Here are a few of my anime crushes.
1. Satoru Gojo - Jujutsu Kaisen
I love him because his energy matches mine, in a way. We're both very carefree and everything kinda goes right over our heads, LOL. Not to mention quite playful towards friends and colleagues.2. Kyojuro Rengoku - Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba
I love Kyojuro because he's... beautiful, number one. Number two, he's very passionate about his duties as one of the hashira and I LOVE a passionate man. He's gorgeous. He's funny, too. He's my dream man xD3. Shizuo Heiwajima - Durarara!!
I love Shizuo because he's strong and I feel like he's a bit of a comic relief character? I love his outbursts, I just wish I could hug him, lol.4. Sanji - One Piece
Fun fact, Sanji was my very first anime crush. I was watching One Piece with my friend and her babysitter and I asked who the blonde was. Love at first sight.5. Zenitsu Agatsuma - Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba
(He is 16, so it's more of a platonic thing than anything. I just think he's cute)
I love Zenitsu because I can sorta relate to him. I'm such a crybaby and I'm very paranoiac. I'm always worrying about the worst possible outcome 24/7 365 and I also cry over everything. Not to mention, Zenitsu is just very cute and his energy is wonderful.
Other honorable mentions would be...
Here are a few of my anime crushes.
1. Satoru Gojo - Jujutsu Kaisen
- Inosuke Hashibira (Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba)
- Shinra
his last name got censored, lol(Durarara!!) - All Might (My Hero Academia)
- Satoshi Isshiki (Food Wars / Shokugeki no Soma)
- Kojiro Shinomiya (Food Wars / Shokugeki no Soma)
- Takumi Aldini (Food Wars / Shokugeki no Soma)
- Mahito (Jujutsu Kaisen)
- Nanami Kento (Jujutsu Kaisen)
- France (Hetalia / very very old crush, LOL)
- Russia (Hetalia / once again, very very old crush)
- Obanai Iguro (Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba)
I'm back again to agree with @Macchiato about Satoru Gojo. He's got major crush potential with his carefree attitude and beautiful baby blue eyes.
Also, still on the potential crush list for me are both Shigure and Rin from Fruits Basket. I kind of like to see how things play out with characters before I consider them true crushes. I might not like their character development by the end.

overthinks everything
Too many. Too, too many. I tend to lose my heart to supporting characters. The ones who are cocky but goofy, who are intensely loyal and have strength of heart as well as of fist. I have to mention that, often, the Japanese seiyuu voicing the character plays a part in endearing that character to me.
My first ever crush was Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin. Tall, dark, and wields a zanbato. Yes, please. I was so madly in love with him, I created a fan site where you could dress him (and Kenshin) in different outfits, like a virtual paper doll. That happened 20 years ago.Is my age showing? Then there's Sanji from One Piece. Such a gentleman. Strong sexy legs! He makes me laugh. I like men who make me laugh. While we're on One Piece, I have to say, Trafalgar Law! A total badass. I love the way he looks. He's been through hell as a kid. He needs a hug.
Genjo Sanzo from Saiyuki. Constantly irritable and irritated, with a short fuse and a gruff, intimidating demeanor, he is a chain-smoking, trigger-happy monk who completely fascinated and enthralled me. He was my desktop wallpaper for years! I even had a huge poster of him on my bedroom wall. (My husband is among the world's most accommodating spouses.
)
Sylvain from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He's only a supporting character but he has a well-written backstory that explains the philanderer he has become. His heart's in the right place. I follow strangers on Twitter who draw Sylvain fan art because I can't get enough. Zack Fair from Final Fantasy 7. I bought a PSP for the sole purpose of playing FF: Crisis Core because I was so in love with Zack. It was the first game I ever 100-percented, unlocking everything, doing all 300 missions. At the end of the game, I cried like a baby. Reno, one of the Turks, from FF7. He's just hot as heck. A ton of attitude. Now I'm just really sad whenever I see Reno or think of him because his Japanese seiyuu, Fujiwara Keiji, passed away suddenly last year. He has voiced many characters I've loved, including Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist and Father Fujimoto from Ao no Exorcist. One of my favourite seiyuu ever.
Most recent crush is Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen. He's my desktop wallpaper. I also preordered a figure that will only be shipped in August. I have a reason to live now.
There are many more fictitious characters I've fallen madly in love with, and even some from BL manga which I've read that I remember with more clarity and fondness than I do personal milestones in my own life. I love reading/watching/playing great stories, and with great stories, you get great characters. I feel so grateful to all the creators who have put their talents to great use, to tell stories that resonate with so many people all around the world. Great story tellers are my heroes.
And now I think I should refrain from using the word great for at least two weeks.

Oh man, after seeing how many people here have mentioned Durarara, I had to come back to post...
• Shinra (Durarara!!)
He's definitely... quirky, let's say, but ugh I love him. I just really like how much Shinra totally, unabashedly adores everything about Celty, and find his energy/inability to stop talking really endearing.

his last name got censored, lol(Durarara!!)
I love Shizuo too and so agree so much with that! On top of that he has one of the best japanese VAs. I love Daisuke Ono’s voice (he voiced Erwin too another character I love
).Coming back to add that Claude and Dimitri are two more FE3H characters that I had a crush on. Kinda funny since initially they were two characters I was not very interested in (by looking at pre-timeskip pics) but their character made me rethink that
. When I played Blue Lions route, I did change my plans to romance Dimitri on my first playthrough since I did not agree with some stuff, but lol I’m back to loving him after playing to completely. I did romance seteth instead (who is another one I have a crush on but not as big as claude and Dimitri or Hubert). Almost forgot to mention Linhardt. I normally don’t like male characters with long or shoulder length hair, but ah, I love Linhardt so much
. He has some of the best support conversations. He has an unusual way of showing concern and support for his allies but, it adds to his charm (along with his sleeping habits 
). Yuri Hyuga - I wouldn’t steal him from Alice (they make such a cute couple
), but I still crushed on him. I love his sarcasm, looks, and he was pretty funny in spite the game being pretty dark. And he can turn into pretty bad ass looking demons (okay one was really cool and the others were kinda weird looking).

heh heh horf
Growing up I was in love with Piccolo from dbz, Kaiba from Yugioh, and Poupelin from Sailor Moon.
My favorite crush as a kid was adult Simba from the Lion King though, I even had a big plush of him I slept with. I thought he was so fine. lmao

YES gray! i’ve loved fairy tail since i was young it’s my favorite anime, i’m a real sucker for sting eucliffe and cobra lolI forgot one earlier. I've probably forgotten a couple, but I'll add to the list if/when I remember them.
Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail
This one is more of an honorable mention as he gets a little too immature and hot-headed sometimes, mostly around Natsu. But otherwise, I love his character. Ironically, Juvia is my favorite human character from the series so the fact that she falls in love with Gray is kind of cool.

I am also very embarrassed by this stuff, and would never admit it to most of my irl friends (except some of my gaming buddies).
Here we go anyway lol:
Here we go anyway lol:
- First one I can think of is Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket (the original - I haven't watched the remake and probably won't as I don't watch anime much anymore). I can't really explain (or defend) this one. The guy is a huge sleazeball from what I remember and If I watched or read it today I'd possibly not feel the same, but he was amongst my first anime crushes. I think I just liked his general witty demeanour + the mysterious side of him that is portrayed more in the Manga. Again, inexplicable and it has been a while but... well... there you have it.
- Next one I can think of is a recent one. It's Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. I don't think I need to justify this one. A gruff, rugged, no-nonsense man with a heart of gold, and he's a cowboy. Rockstar knew exactly what they were doing when they made him as handsome as they did. They knew and they did it anyway.
- Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. *sweats profusely*. This game is in early access and I don't even own it but I saw this guys face popping up here and there on tumblr and I eventually caved and looked him up. What ended up happening was a deep dive on youtube footage of the game itself (which looks amazing and I cannot wait to get my hands on it when it is finally released) and videos of Astarion in particular. He is straight up mean at points, but seems to be the type to open up emotionally as the game progresses and you get to know him a bit more - which is my favourite trope for characters lol. He is also voiced by the same voice actor who performed Kamski and Gavin Reed in DBH (another game chock full of crushable characters lmao) so he gets even more bonus points.
- Vivienne from Dragon Age: Inquisition. She was ambitious, intimidating, and my own characters morals usually stood in direct contrast to hers, but dang - she made it all look good. She was generally hated by the fandom, and I can totally see why given her political/moral standpoints within the Dragon Age lore but I just found her really interesting as a character and loved her design.
- Arcade Gannon from Fallout New Vegas. Loved his voice acting and his sarcasm. Generally if a character in a game has a quick-wit or sarcastic/dry sense of humour then I am invested lol
- Cid Highwind from FFVII - another somewhat inexplicable one but I cannot wait to see what he looks like when he finally shows up in FFVII R. This is an old crush and i'd like to say that I'm mostly over it but if Square Enix makes him look awful in the remakes I will physically fight everyone within the company.
- Maria and Sister from Arakawa Under the Bridge. I don't even know. Don't ask.
- Sheik from Zelda OoT (and princess Zelda as well because of this). Just a cool character, made Zelda step away from the 'damsel in distress' trope I thought she would fall into when I first played that game.
