The most popular & likeable main characters are those with who tend to be nice guys / girls. Schemers are usually thwarted by their innocence or through the allies they attract with their charm and virtue.
In comedies you may get characters like Lina or Gokudo who display many flaws.
There are also the anti-hero types who may use some unconventional methods.
If you dig hard enough in japanese manga there are many more interesting character types but in anime the nice guy template seems to recur most often.
