Most Unlikable Anime Character?

[Canadamus Prime]

Honestly, I don't get all the hate. Every character in every serious, or semi-serious anime I've seen had a specific purpose. Sometimes it was the over-exuberant friend, or the horribly dick villain (or hero in some cases), sometimes it was the dense (or wanting to seem dense) flaky character... they all were irritating, but their existence was justified by the plot. (Yes, even the "only exists so they can get killed and piss off the hero" ones.) But doesn't their effectiveness at annoying, irritating, and generally pissing you off mean the character was well written and well developed? And doesn't that mean you actually love to hate them, instead of the unimpressive and pathetic limbo implied by being "unlikeable"?

I'd postulate that the popularity of this thread proves that there are no "unlikeable" characters. Only characters we love to hate (mostly because they were designed to be that way).

PS: Can you really fault a character for the voice actor used to play him/her? Yes, it can get irritating hearing those high-pitched squeals from certain characters (typically the "young girl" characters), or if a voice doesn't really feel like it fits (it's surprisingly rare, and sometimes intentional for plot purposes). But... actually, I have no positive spin to put on that, it's just annoying... The point is it's the voice actor, not the character itself.

Very well spoken and I agree completely. I salute you!

I found Naruto's voice so annoying I stopped watching the series. .

 

[Klepa]

That hyperactive, seemingly simple yet somehow wise kid with ADD, from that one anime.

 

[XYLM]

HMM
...
Danzo Shimura. He killed a messenger toad! He will burn for that!
Also, he's responsible for Itachi, Sasuke, and Pain. Everyone loves a boss fight, but with Danzo the end just couldn't come soon enough. JUST DIE ALREADY YOU DEVIOUS SACK OF CRAP!

Get your own Jutsu Frankenstein!

Fucking Spandam...

Couldn't find a picture of the Celestial Dragons?

I thought about that but I decided to go with a singular character rather then a group to stay on track with the topic.

Also Spandam is a total asshole and a coward how can you not despise him?

 

[TheTim]

I'd have to Say Frieza from Dragon Ball Z. I hated his guts.

 

[Kurokasumi]

One that comes to mind almost instantly... Flae(sp?) from Gundam Seed.

Spoiler

And oh how I laughed when she died.

For me it's Edward Alric from Full Metal Alchemist, I tried to like him as he was the main protagonist but he contradicts himself so many times and he seems to like someone one minute then turn into a completely different person and hate them the next. His irrational hatred and anger just doesn't make sense and sort of kills the immersion for me.

I know by now you probably have had a few corrections to your spelling but its Edward ELRIC not Alric.

Also I have quite a few that I do not like.

One Piece: Monkey D. Luffy
Bleach: Gin (even after what happened recently in the Manga)
Naruto: Sasuke (he is one of the biggest emo cry babies I have seen in a Manga/Anime)
Full Metal Alchemist: Maes Hues (I just didn't like him thought he was really annoying)
Death Note: Light Yagami
Tales of Destiny: Lion

Those are the only ones that I can think of right now.

Hm... well for me, and I know you're gonna hate me for this phoenix
Sasuke, just could not stand the guy!

i think your close, but the most annoying anime character would probably be sakura in my opinion

Spoiler: Don't you just wanna punch him?

I have no idea who that is, yet alone what anime it is, but yes. I would very much like to punch him.

He looks like a 4 year old with an adult body

Edit; Oh right. The pre-Funimation cast of Yu Yu Hakusho.

My god, those voices were so goofy.

 

[Miumaru]

Hm... well for me, and I know you're gonna hate me for this phoenix

Sasuke, just could not stand the guy![/quote
:O What did you find annoying about him?

I dont know about him, but for me...he is the lamest Sasuke Ninja ever. Mystical Ninja's was better....and a robot.

 

[Marik2]

I HATED Sakura in Naruto. She was so bloody useless. Yeah, she got better in Shippuden, but that never aired in America, so it doesn't count.

Actually they have aired shippuden in Disney XD and its actually not even censored really.

 

[The Keeper]

Alucard
Light
Naraku
Itachi Uchiha

Basically, any character that is poorly written, yet so over the top powerful that is just a mary sue for the creator...

Somebody needs to actually read Hellsing.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Snip

For me it is Chris Redfield from Sonic X.

He is pretty much complete uselessness combined with annoying dubbed voice actor (that is for 4KIDS[/b[ standards mind you) and his undieing love of Sonic that is twice as intense as Amy's and 4 times as creepy (really, watch five minutes of the show and it is impossible to think that Chris DOESN'T love Sonic) makes for a character that even the most hardcore Sonic fans I know hate the kid.

Let me repeat.

Hardcore Sonic fans, that have liked Black Knight, Sonic '06, and CHIP, have HATED Chris Redfield.

Let that thought sink in for a moment.

 

[Sinisterair]

Misa from Death Note, or Nanalee from Code Geass. Yes, I'm picking on the crippled, blind child but she is so annoying.

I shit my pants i laughed so hard, She really is annoying

 

[Sinisterair]

90% of them are mary sues so i h8 95% of them....because 5% of the remaining 10% are fucking dumb and/or annoying

 

[Motti]

the police girl from hellsing. I just found her voice so bloody annoying, but that could be because I watched the dubs instead of the subs.

She's pretty awesome though, in the Ovas she's... well, Ova 6 (or 5?) she does the most epic standoff I've ever seen.

It wasn't so much her actual character that I found annoying (although she was fairly whiny in the beginning) but her character's voice. Like I said, it may be a lot better in the subs.

 

[Vankraken]

Tenchi Masaki
Whines all the time and is surrounded by women who want to sleep with him and constantly rejects them.
Epic Fail

 

[Wintermoot]

Shinji I dont want to pilot a giant mech boohoo seriously he needs a Bright slap now!

Oh yes that guy... I know what you mean. He was the reason I just couldn't finish Evangelion.

I disagree. He was human; that's what I like about him.

but admit it the only thing he does is whine whine and whine

 

[TheModWolf]

I already said Kone from Bleach but I changed my answer. Krillin...what a loser.
