I just kinda don't care here, I never really watched enough code geass to get over disliking lelouch...and I'm sorry strawberry-tan, but what they say is true... your personality is very old hat...
I could not vote... but then I couldn't complain about the winner... so...
Lelouch I suppose... does he really come from clamp? that's fairly anime world influential...
This is an easy choice for me. I may have found Lelouch an annoying little twit at times but he was still far more interesting that Ichigo ever was. :p
In my opinion, these are two of the least impressive characters in this survey. (Though I like both Code Geass and Bleach.)
Ichigo is very run of the mill overall. I think he's actually the most generic character in Bleach. Yoruichi (or someone equally complex) would have been a better choice than Ichigo.
Lelouch has a cooler character design (thanks CLAMP!), but he honestly reminds me of other characters like Light from DeathNote or Ayumu from Spiral. You know, the whole 'Hey, I'm a genius who loves vigilante justice and I'm willing to disregard morals and ethics in order to achieve my goal, possibly because I'm that committed to my cause or possibly because I'm just a major narcissist whose ego won't let me lose.'
While ultimately I voted for Lelouch, and while I really enjoy both series, I don't think either of these two merits top billing in the end.
I don't think he is the best anime character, but I think he is better than Ichigo, who isn't really anything special and is a rather common place Shonen Jump hero. Lelouch has a ton of layers and sometimes I hated him and sometimes I loved him, his actions could be confusing at times, but he had a good motivation he just didn't go about it the right way at times.
Also, I cried at the end of the series due to his actions, Ichigo never touched me in that way, so in my opinion Lelouch is an all round better character than Ichigo.

From the comments, Lelouch probably will get this round...
But... despite all the negative comments on Ichigo being too shounen... I can't help but give Ichigo my vote.
What can I say... I like my shounen anime/manga... hahahaha... XD

@moonlight maiden: Lelouch was just drawn by CLAMP. But I guess that alone is enough to be more influential...

I didn't even watch Code Grease and I still picked Lellouche because "strawberry" down there is a complete shonen fag.

Lulu for the same reason as everyone else. He's way more interesting, both his personality and his past. And prettier, yes.

My vote goes to Lelouch(: He has more depth than Ichigo does, in my opinion. I mean, Ichigo is a great character, but Lelouch just touches me. :'D

I went with Lelouch.
I don't think he is the best anime character, but I think he is better than Ichigo, who isn't really anything special and is a rather common place Shonen Jump hero. Lelouch has a ton of layers and sometimes I hated him and sometimes I loved him, his actions could be confusing at times, but he had a good motivation he just didn't go about it the right way at times.
