Guts from Berserk is actually really simple: Two-Handed Fighter with a few levels of Barbarian for the rage ability. Feats like Death or Glory, Gory Finish, and of course Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Vital Strike, etc.
I don't avoid anime because it's from Japan I avoid anime because I have yet to find one which as an animation style I don't find terribad.
If you refuse to watch something as soon as you hear it's "anime," how can you possibly judge its animation style?
And if you're only refusing to watch anime, but would be willing to watch animations that are not from Japan without assuming they will be "terribad" (whatever the heck that means), then the country of origin is part of the issue you're judging it on, however indirectly. I'm not saying you're judging it on the culture or anything, but if it's only Japanese animation you refuse to watch, then there's an oddly specific delineation you're basing what you're willing to give a try and what you're not--the country of origin, rather than actually watching a series and judging it individually on its merits and flaws. It's like watching Spongebob and then refusing to watch Disney's Snow White because you thought Spongebob was poorly drawn.
And that's the last I'll say to avoid derailing the subject further.
How about a Serpentfolk Gunslinger with a custom-built super revolver. Although he leans heavily towards evil, he has vestiges of a code of honour, and shows respect and mercy to those who can prove themselves a match for his legendary gunslinging skills.

@Shizzle69: Hmm a female halfling summoner with the childlike feat? the Eidolon can look like Big Daddy.
@Chaiguy: Give the halfling Childlike for that innocent little girl look. :D
LOL, thanks for the advice Natan Linggod.
One thing I've learned fromt this thread is that I don't know nearly as much about anime as I thought I did. This has definately given me some ideas in where to look for other great anime series.
A wizard or sorc/ fighter archer with lots of different arrows = Hawkeye.
An invulnerable raging barbarian with lots of DR, scent, and beast totem rage powers = Wolverine.
A fighter focused on his adamantine shield with throwing and returning = Captain America
Comics have provided me with some of the best and worst character ideas...

My current character is a Tiefling sorcerer of Rakshasa descent who specializes in destruction magics. Based off of the character J'zargo from The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
One of my favorite characters was set in the Eberron setting. A young female artificer who was naturally gifted in all things mechanical. She worked on an airship as the mechanic. Based off of Kaylee Frye from firefly.
Another is a cantankerous, brilliant Oracle of Life who walked with a limp (lame curse), used a cane in combat, and made the lives of his adventuring party miserable. Based off of Dr. Gregory House from House.

Over the years I've drawn inspiration from many sources. Sometimes it's as simple as a name, sometimes it a complete attempt to emulate (and everything in between, including merging some aspects of several into one character)... anyways, here are some of the characters/ideas I can remember using for my various characters (some of theme go back to my AD&D 2e days):
From The Flight of Dragons: Sir Orrin Neville-Smythe, Giles, Bryagh, Gorbash, Carolinus, Aragh
From Paul Kidd's Greyhawk/Justicar trilogy: The Justicar, Escalla, Enid, Polk
From Read Or Die: Donnie Nakajima (Yomiko's mentor and former lover, and The Paper before her)
From Trigun: Vash the Stampede
From Vandal Hearts: Diego, Zohar
From Final Fantasy IV: Cecil, Kain, Rydia
From Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine
From Chrono Trigger: Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, Magus, Ozzie, Slash, Flea, Schala, Dalton
From Bloody Roar: Bakuryū
From Cutthroat Island: Dawg, William Shaw
From the Mask of Zorro: Alejandro Murrieta
From the Princess Bride: Westley, Inigo Montoya
From Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow
From Ip Man: Ip Man
From Lord of the Rings: Frodo (actually turned into his great-great-great-great-great grandson, and still adding pages to the red book)
From WIllow: Willow, Kaiya, Madmartigan, Sorsha
From Marvel: Archangel, Polaris, Wolverine, Psylocke
...and I'm sure there's even more I've stolen fr.... gained inspiration from. ^_^

I love Vlad Taltos from author Steven Brust. But there isn't a real good way to make an effective version of him in PF. You would need to multiclass a deulist, assassin, sorc, and witch. Might be able to get kinda close with just assassin and witch.
In a gritty campaign, I like many characters from Glen Cooke's Black Company series.

Yar.
I forgot about Himura Kenshin, Shishio Makoto and Yūkyūzan Anji from the Rurouni Kenshin Anime! I've made characters inspired from them as well.

I once played a grim, gruff, lightly-armored paladin who specialized in the light crossbow. He tended to wear a wide-brimmed hat and a poncho, and smoked cigars. He was based on "The Man With No Name" from the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns.
A long time ago, (first-edition AD&D) I made a ranger who specialized in the quarterstaff. The character wasn't comic, but the idea came from Daffy Duck in an old Loony Tunes Robin Hood parody.
In a different game system (GURPS Fantasy), I made a fighter/wizard type who had a star-shaped tattoo on his forehead. His deep dark secret was that he was really a woman, and that if another wizard found out, "he" would lose his magical powers. (A complete rip-off of the character Lythande from the Thieves World fantasy anthology series.)
I had a character in an Amber Diceless Role-Playing campaign that was a man who traveled across dimensions in a vehicle he'd built that looked like a 1970s-vintage telephone booth. He called it the PATRN. His go-to gadget was his laser spanner. He referred to himself as "The Professor."
And, of course, I co-wrote a three-round AD&D 2nd Edition tournament for a convention back in the early '90s that was a fantasy pastiche of a certain famous sci-fi movie.
The main characters...
A young fighter/mage who was the apprentice of an NPC older fighter/mage (himself on the run from the king's men).
A foppish aristocrat bard who was an expert on diplomacy and spoke many languages.
A mute halfling rogue who communicated in claps and whistles, but was an expert on locks and traps.
A fighter/rogue who owned a riverboat.
A werebear fighter, who was first mate on the aforementioned boat.
A young female cleric who claimed to be the rightful heir to the throne, and was on the run from the king's men. (First chapter of the adventure was to rescue this character from imprisonment in a tower.)
This was, of course, a good 15 years before that kid wrote Eragon.

Ip Man's impossible to make he has to many lvls in monk as he is legendary.
My friend made a Elven Wizard. We starting bsing about this and that. Some how we came up with the idea that my character would be his twin brother a fighter. He used the random name generator from the 3.0 character generator Namroc. I named my character Corman, which is the reverse of the name he was saddled with. This of course was done in homage to Tomax and Xamot from GI Joe.
No . . . but that certainly was one part of the mix of inspiration. For me at least I do not think he has ever read Dragonlance. I need to get him a copy of Chronicles.
A vivisectionist alchemist whose quest for purity has led him down a dark path of self-mutilation. Surgically addicted, he stalks the night in search of specimens from whom he may harvest bits of flesh and organ. He assimilates their body parts, extending his life. His blood long ago dried up, turned to ash. Much of his body replaced by mechanical device, he must wind himself each day with a clockwork-key. Deep underneath the city, within endless sewer corridors, he waits, certainly in need of more replacements. It won't be long before he surfaces again, a string of corpses left in his wake.
Explanation: This NPC-villain is part Kroenen (film version), part Doc Benton, with a bit of Kyton thrown in for good measure. Essentially a long-lived human, he is becoming more twisted with each passing century. Eventually he may bypass death and become something of a Kyton himself - he certainly has the mind of one.

lol. Awesome thread!
I did this extensively with Star Wars Saga, even going so far as to stat out Goldar from power Rangers as a dark side user.
For Pathfinder though? I created and played a witch-themed sorcerer named Hama, which was loosely based on the Blood Bender of the same name from "Avatar: The Last Airbender." One has to admire a villain who gets what they want even when they lose.
My character had aspirations of becoming a lich and survived play from level one to ten on less than thirty hit points due in no small part to her never ending scheming and manipulations.
Some of my fellow players have also done this. One now is currently playing an ifrit summoner who specializes in fire spells and has a fire dragon mount--based off of the Magic the Gathering character, Chandra Nalaar. Another played an engineer/fighter named Hihachi, inspired by a character of the same name from the anime series, "The Seven Samurai."
*bump*
All you people have so many great ideas about converting characters from other media into pathfinder. I only made two. :(
Guybrush Threepwood - a young and handsome wanna-be pirate who was just too good to do the real nasty pirate-y stuff. Class: fighter (for all the sword training he did). From the Monkey Island video game (yes, I'm old enough to have played the original when it was released).
Chase - a hardcore ranger that was packed with various weapons and could use all of them with deadly force. He was a side character in the book Wizard's First Rule (made into a book series called The Sword of Truth; also made into a really crappy 2 season TV show - although it's not as crappy if you've never read the books, according to my wife, but it's still pretty bad).
Both those were actually made in 2nd ed, and considering the proficiency system of 2nd ed, Chase was rather difficult to make.
Now when I make characters, I do one of three things (not in order): 1) find which class or concept the party needs the most; 2) play a class I haven't played yet; or 3) set up all the classes and races in two lists and roll randomly.

Ooh one more.
A Bard-Detective, with a somewhat abrasive yet compelling personality who tackles quests and mysteries , not for reward, but as mental exercise. Knows martial arts, Kirin Style.
-Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey Jr version.Even better a Bard Detective who looks like the average serf. He appears to be deficient at solving crime effectively lowering the guard of his suspects. Through keen observation of humanoid behavior he deduces the crime. In the end he tricks the guilty party in to admitting their crime through a series of questions that obfuscate his intentions.
-Colombo Peter Faulk
I created a fedora-wearing private detective from Nisroch in Nidal based on a mixture of hard-boiled Raymond Chandler detectives and Harry D'Amour from Clive Barker's Lord of Illusion.
You can definitely spin Nisroch into a film-noir port city. All the building blocks are there. The Spires are the wealthy uptown area. You've got seedy docks, desperate immigrants being taken advantage of, Old Money wealth, and lots of sleazy lawyers. Music and art are banned, which means people would have to go to underground music clubs and speakeasies.
All you need is some flickering neon lights and you're golden.

I've briefly considered creating the entire One Piece crew, though it would be difficult to attempt. I've got this for it though, a Qinggong Monk that specializes in fire-magic and jumping, a sword-saint samurai that dual-wields (triple wields, though I've yet known how to build that) katanas, a sea/bonded witch with a few levels in rogue that focuses on weather magic, a possessed sentient skeleton bard that has a house-ruled ability to leave his body to cast an arcane eye-like spell, an invulnerable rager barbarian with a few levels of aberration-bloodline sorcerer that focuses only on using limb-extension, cyborg experimental gunsmith with a few levels in alchemist, bramble brewer alchemist that specializes in sling-shooting his bombs, and if i could build Chopper, i would.
A LG human fighter guardsman often accompanied by his butler, a powerful rogue/assassin that specializes in crossbows (Captain Vimes and Willikins).
A short human (small-sized) diplomacy rogue that's "handy with a crossbow" and is usually accompanied by a Cad fighter who eschews heavy armor and wields a razor sharp longsword (Tyrion Lannister and Bronn)
Psion Telepath / Thrallherd who preferred to engage in social combat or Dominate enemies whenever possible and was a rogue intelligence agent for House Tarkanan in Eberron. - The Illusive Man
Sacred Necromancer, maybe multiclass Bard, who focuses on protecting the living from the depredations of the dead and outsiders with the help of generally considered "evil" magic. - Abhorsen
Heretic Inquisitor / Gray Gardener... don't need more than that, that's Corvo Attano.

What do you think?
I once joined a 3.x game with 7 other players who had anything and everything covered. They didn't really need me. So I a lot of leeway to play whatever I wanted and decided to play a human expert child modeled after the Artful Dodger. I took leadership at 6th level so I could have a gang of children under my command. My cohort was similar to Fagin in some ways.
I don't think I've ever made a PC directly based off a pre-existing fictional character, at least not intentionally.
The closest I can think of is my current World of Darkness character, who I named Varian Blackthorne, as a reference to Dave Gross' character Varian Jeggare from the Pathfinder Tales. Personality and ability wise though, they've very different. My Varian is a werewolf (in a top hat, I guess he's a Penny Arcade reference as well) who travels with a "pack" of assorted supernatural beings. He does practice magic, but most of it relies on calling and binding spirits, and creating totemic fetishes for use when he doesn't have time to call a spirit. When he needs a cover, he acts as a street magician, since he's found that openly showing people magic just makes them believe it's all a trick. He's also not very noble, in fact personality wise he's closer to Radovan, the bodyguard of Varian Jeggare, since the only thing he loves more than a good fight is flirting.
Other than that I've been considering adding a character based on Matthew Swift from the Urban Magic novels to my homebrew Pathfinder game as an NPC, but I'm not sure sure how I'd build him.
All of that said, this thread has given me some ideas about potential new characters. Unfortunately I normally end up being the GM for Pathfinder, no one else wants to take on that role, so I have limited scope to use them.
Kinda want to make a Tattooed Sorcerer/Qinggong Monk using the Words of Power system with an undetermined Bloodline (perhaps Protean) to create Haplo the Patryn from the Deathgate Cycle.

One of these days, I might just play The Darkness (aka Jackie Estacado) as a Master Summoner.
For a french RPG called Agone, I envisioned a quietly embittered and jaded Satyr demonologist called Janosh Konstantos, the local version of John Constantine.
For a Sabbat character in Vampire the Masquerade, I was greatly inspired by the character played by Joe Pesci in Casino (a trigger-happy paranoid little man) with the added disgust factor of being a cannibal in addition to a monstrous vampire.
I also envisioned a vampiric version of Elric of Melniboné in another Sabbat game, as a psychology student fascinated with the novels' character and who had his girlfriend moliated into a howling black greatsword. Never got the chance to play him though.
My first and only character in the french RPG Cops was based on the character played by Kevin Spacey in LA Confidential : cool and suave media specialist.
My first character in Living Arcanis (3.5) was a Patrician/Val Mehan Emissary heavily drawn from the character of Atia (played by Polly Walker) in Rome.
Here one I just created. What do you think?
Why does he use an aldori dueling sword and not a katana, or would you be "reflavoring" it as such? Perhaps he is meant to emulate Kenshin, but only in spirit?
Many of my characters are based off of the figurine I have painted. I know thats not exactly the media you're talking about...
After the first time I read l'Morte de Arthur I made a noble knight character. His accent was a russian/eastern european mix though, instead of british or french.

I played a Mage character who was a younger version of Stick, Daredevil's mentor. He was blind, but the many mystical senses you got from 1-st level in the Spheres more than compensated for it.
Also, one of my players in Jade Regent is going to play a svirfneblin-like alchemist with a style and looks inspired by Master Roshi (the sensei of Son Goku un the Dragonball anime) : an old pervert with a crush on Koya Mvashti (a woman with real experience). Another one will be Eldric the Pyromancer, an albino elf who is a bladebound hexcrafter Magus. He will always be accompanied by his manservant whom he will always call Moonplum (even though the hapless NPC will die in a most gruesome way at least every other session, only to have another eager local take his place).
In RotRL, one of the PCs is a Witcher (homebrew class) by the name of Geralt.
You could make (small) Battle Toads or the Punk Frogs. I suppose they would be fighters, but you could do something more interesting with some levels in ranger or barbarian.
Otherwise, you could make the:
I'v recently made a Magus(kensai) whit a extra arm who specialises in his scythe, I Considered naming him Magus(crono trigger) but I thought it was a bit obvious, and about 3 arms, well, so he can still use his magic.
A Cavalier named don quijote?
Hm, a Bladebound magus named Arthur whit his trusted sword excalibur?
A druid named Miraculix who uses alot of brew potions? XD
A monk cursed to switch gender when hot/cold water comes in contact whit him/her named ranma?
A green clad fighter/alchemist who seems strangely mute, whit his trusted longsword and oak/steel/mirror shield. Bows, bombs and a big hammer! name? link ofc!
I've thought about doing this, even planned on making a summoner with an eidolon based on a summon creature from Final Fantasy...our group's main GM pretty much insulted me for that one, though, so I gave up on that idea.

I have done this more times than I can count across games, these are just a few more memorable ones.
Raven (Snow Crash) - Fighter with Obsidian Kukri's
Kenpachi Zaraki(Bleach) - Melee Oriented Sith wielding a sith warsword in SAGA
Byakuya Kuchiki(Bleach) - Sith who telekinetically weilded ~9 Miniature shoto's in addition to the one in hand, Also SAGA
Itachi Uchiha(Naruto) - Fighter/Synthesist Summoner
Emiya Shirou(Fate/Stay Night) - Quigong Monk with Custom SLAs.
Gene Starwind(Outlaw Star) - Gunslinger/Spellslinger/Eldritch Knight who uses scrolls as his caster shells
Catwoman(Batman) - Kitsune Catburgler Ninja(A little wierd but worked).
Link(Zelda series) - Switch Hitter Ranger, with a mount & a ton of different magical tools
A green clad fighter/alchemist who seems strangely mute, whit his trusted longsword and oak/steel/mirror shield. Bows, bombs and a big hammer! name? link ofc!
You might consider giving him some levels in bard, or at least making sure he has a few points in Perform (wind or string) and Profession (symphony conductor, train engineer or sailor).

Fantasy Noir huh? That reminds me ,I need to finish the Garret Pi series by Glen Cook
I made a Drow monk based off Spiderman Noir once.
Haven't been a a wizard in a while but when next I do I think I will draw heavy inspiration from John Constantine and Harry Dresden.
Haven't nailed down the race yet but I want to play a rogue knife fighter that borrows heavily from Drax the Destroyer and Riddick. Having a hard time finding a mini I like for this one though.
Lastly I have a dwarf mini that would make a great Wolverine analogue a friend modded him to have claws..but the game didn't last. May use him again someday...think Barbarian/ Ranger natural combat style, beast totem. Etc...was thinking if my current character bites it in skulls and shackles I might use the two sea faring archetypes and mix in a healthy dose of Blackbeard.

Summoner and Eidolon: based off Kenichi Morisato and Belldandy.
Emily Elizabeth i.e. 'Em': Stole by the God of Thieves after her father the Sheriff killed his favorite thief. They traveled inter-dimensionally in his stolen dimensional transport. Had encounters with the Kua toa, Roderik the lord of (false) vampires, Ned Stork, the Army of Shadows, and those that never where.
When she came back, she had forgotten her last name and was glad of the changes she had gone through. Not based off any character per se, but she feels like a Doctor Who Companion.
