What's more important to you: plot or characters?
Fanservice and pandering

Cute sexy characters.
A good plot doesn't sustain itself without good characters.

Characters. With the contingency that there is no plot. If it's not slice of life i'm not going to watch a shitty anime just because I like the characters. The plot is huge in how the characters act and if it's a bad plot then the characters will just be there for the sake of the plot and not the other way around. Just look at asterisk.
Literally anything can be good if it has good characters.

This
Besides a story with a bad plot but good characters can still be enjoyable
Characters = Visuals > Plot
In that exact order. I can get through bad a bad Plot if I like the characters good enough, if it has shitty visuals it's kinda harder because that really puts me off.
Characters I guess.
I don't even remember last time I watched an anime for the plot.

>plot or characters?
Definitely the latter. I've watched several anime to the end where the plot was shit, but the characters were endearing and cute.
However, if I don't like or don't care about the characters, the plot would have to be amazing (which it usually isn't) for me to not drop it.

The two are obviously very connected, but my opinion is that even with weak plot, well built characters can still make a show enjoyable for me.
It is also much easier to make a solid plot than to make solid characters.
Characters all day. Half the stuff I like is moefag shit with adorable, likable characters.

Characters.
A good plot with bad characters wouldn't leave a lasting impact on me.
I'll just forget about it in a week or two.
Well, since the characters are the ones that move the plot, and since a good plot doesn't exist with bad characters; yes.

Both.
