Most Unlikable Anime Character?

[Sexy Street]

I dislike Motsu, in a good way.

Where's that from?

 

[Harbinger_]

Orihme or however it's spelled from Bleach especially in the subtitles. If I have to hear Kurosaki-kun one more bloody time..... Honestly can that stupid useless ***** not say anything else? Not to mention the fact she is a useless character.

For me it's Edward Elric 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.

You hate Ed? We can't be friends. Ever.

OT: As for me, I'm gonna say any side character when they have a whole episode about them.

You know those episodes where you just don't want to be watching a side character doing side charactery stuff.

Goku from DBZ. The guy has no education, no job, and no interests other than fighting. He's also completely irresponsible; leaving his wife and two children to fend for themselves not once, but twice, once to go train in otherworld, and again to train Uub. And dispite everything, all the other characters consistantly follow his orders and put faith in his hair brained plans.

For example:

- "Let's not interfere while Pikolo, Android 16 and Tien are fighting cell, waiting around here for Vegeta and Trunks to come out is much more important"

- "Let's send the 9 year old to go get the dragon radar even though I can move at the speed of light"

- "Let's give a damaged and fatigued Cell a free sensu bean, I'm sure my 11 year old son will no problem beating him anyway"

- "We won't need sensu beans on Namek, I'll just eat them all on the journey" (Yes I have been watching Team4Star's DBZ Abridged, how did you know?)

- "It'll be fine if I leave the Earth unguarded to hang out with the Yardrat, it's not like Garlic jr. or Freiza could possibly come back. Besides my mortal enemy Vegeta is there, I'm sure he's turned over a new leaf"

- "Gee this instant transmission thing sure is useful, you'd think in the 3 years I spent training for the Androids, as well as the year in the hyperbolic time chamber with Gohan, I'd have shown someone else how to do it. Nevermind, they probably don't need it"

All of which is completely acceptable and understandable once you realize one simple fact;

Goku is RETARDED. Literally fell on his head and suffered enough brain damage to reset his saiyan instincts as a child.

I grew up watching DBZ, but I think that needed to be said.

As for me, I've only ever really watched a couple animes. The only character I don't like that I was supposed to is Ed from Cowboy Bebop. Seriously, fuck you Ed. Fuck you.

 

[Kirch Libre]

This two-timing **** right here. All of my hate Makoto.

All. Of. My. Hate.

Spoiler: Nice boat

[Yureina]

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

Agreed with Misa from Death Note. I'll also go ahead and add (until you learn why) Asuka from Evangelion and Yuka from Elfen Lied. I just... really didn't like those two. Not bad characters, but Asuka irritated me and Yuka made me want to cringe everytime she started getting emo on screen.

 

[A random person]

There's worse out there, but I'll have to go with Margery Daw from Shakugan No Shana. There I was enjoying a decent action-romance, and she comes in with her dullness to distract from whatever good points the series had.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Well, intentionally Unlikable? Medusa.

She is designed to be a character you HATE for the horrible, horrible things she does to her child, C(h)rona. Her character is well conceived to be as unlikable as possible, and you can't help but want to give C(h)rona a hug and give Medusa a punch to the face.

Now, for characters unlikable for being annoying, Excalibur from Soul Eater bits the bill WAY to well. The whole point of the character is that it would take a hero to even STAND being his miester, but they reinforce this point over THREE episodes. AAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

This prick:

Nishi from Gantz

...Why do I suddenly have the desire to punch this... guy in the face?

I never even heard of the series he is in.

 

[TheSchizoid]

The entire cast of Excel Saga.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Well, while everyone is mentioning animes I actually like, I'm going to go ahead and put the hate on Naruto, the whole anime. It's only fair. I have my reasons. How do I put this?

For starters, nobody in this series is actually a ninja, or close enough to one. Not the stereotypical always-wear-black ninja, nor the real and actual peasant-who-uses-any-method-at-hand-while-under-the-radar ninja either. It's alot of shouting and jumping and increasingly-weird attack moves. Well, it IS anime, but let's not side-track ourselves too much. I like ninjas. If you're a Naruto not-a-ninja ninja, then I don't like you, QED.

But if you want a central focus to the anger, let's just go with the pinnacle character. Naruto has the show named after him and he's the main character, ergo this is all his fault. To me, he doesn't have a likeable personality or actual redeeming qualities. I'd call him the decoy protagonist, being something of a comic relief, except there's nobody suitable to take his place, because other characters are unlikeable in their OWN way.

Actually no, that's not true. There are SOME okay characters in my book, who actually seem alright. But there's no show if the rest of the cast is lacking. Basically, this could've been alot better if it were taken seriously. And I mean ACTUALLY seriously and not just with bi-polar angst and comic relief. If the creator of the show/manga had done this to be, say, the equivalent of Samurai Jack, it would've been GOOD.

That orange ninja is the whole reason I haven't even touched anime until Soul Eater showed me the light.

 

[blind_dead_mcjones]

Izaya Orihara from Durarara, the guy is a colossal asshole, full stop. who the hell in their right mind manipulates and convinces people to try and kill themselves (among other very despicable things) for shits and giggles?

Shinji bloody Ikari (End topic)

He is such a whiny little ***** and he gets on my nerve's so much. He alone is proberly the reason why neon genesis evangelion isn't my favourite anime. If the anime didn't have such a crappy excuse of a main character it would of been the god tier of anime's shame really.

Like I said earlier, I disagree. The great thing about Shinji is that he's human, and feels the way a real person would feel in his situation. Oh, and it's spelled "nerves", not "nerve's"

You wanted realism from Evangelion?

Personally, I don't consider Shinji that realistic a character. I certainly wouldn't act like him in his situation.

really? the guy was barely into adolescence with a friendless and parentless upbringing is suddenly put into a life or death situation without any say in the matter, and everyone around him only values him as a component for a giant biomecha of death, and you're saying complaining about being put in that situation is not realistic?

its very easy to say you wouldn't act the way he does when you haven't experienced that and have the benefit of hindsight, and anyone who says that his reaction wasn't one you'd realistically expect from a socially awkward teenager has either massively unreasonable expectations, or is completely missing the point.

Camille Bidan - Zeta Gundam. Every episode has him whining or being overly emotional.
Sasuke - Naruto. I get it. You're emo.
Naruto - Naruto. "Believe it!"
Kira - Gundam Seed. So you killed a guy, big deal. Quit whining.

Come to think of it, nearly every Mobile Suit Gundam had a main character who whined incessantly.

as i pointed out with shinji from evangelion, you can't put a teenager (who lets be honest are not known for mental stability) with parental issues inside a giant robot and throw them into a war and not expect some form of complaint from them, remember they aren't soldiers or adults.

and again, very easy to say get over it when it is something you havent experienced, to be honest i'd be quite worried if a teenager killed someone and DIDN'T lose a wink of sleep over it (its one of those sociopathic warning bells after all)


seriously half of these complaints run along the lines of "realisitc reactions to war/death? in MY giant robot/ninja/fighting animu? what a wuss/pansy/emo they should ditch the dress and grow a pair."

 

[Kwaren]

I dislike Motsu, in a good way.

Where's that from?

He is a character from Negima!?

 

[StrangerMouse]

I must say... Akemiya form Sasameki Koto. Nonono, don't think I hate transvestites or anything. (One of my best friends is one.) I dislike him for completely different reasons.
He reminds me of the protagonist of the (at best mildly amusing) film Year One, in that he either has no understanding whatsoever of what the word lesbian (Here's a hint, it means she won't go out with you.) means, or he's thicker than a cement milkshake, so to speak. Probably both.

But I don't hate him, much as I don't hate any fictional character. I believe the word hate should be reserved for real life people who commit abhorrent atrocities, not annoying fictional characters.

 

[Slenn]

Tidus from FFX. I know it's not technically anime, but it's anime-ish. His cheesy voice and character gets in the way all the freaking time. And the story barely has anything to do with Tidus besides the fact he's a ghost produced by the fake Zanarkand and he's there to create a link. Other than that it was a fun and colorful game.

 

[Sacman]

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

Agreed with Misa from Death Note. I'll also go ahead and add (until you learn why) Asuka from Evangelion and Yuka from Elfen Lied. I just... really didn't like those two. Not bad characters, but Asuka irritated me and Yuka made me want to cringe everytime she started getting emo on screen.

Oh god yes, Asuka wouldn't STFU about herself and Yuka was just so whinny and petty... though with Yuka I sort of get it since she thinks Khota is choosing a mentally challenged girl over his mostly functional female cousin...<.<

OT: all of the characters from El Cazador De La Bruja.. they were just so utterly bland and uninteresting... which is in my opinion worse than being a truly terrible character because at least terrible characters can be memorable...<.<
