What manga/anime charachter do you not like and why?

[dogbertcarroll]

Violent female leads. I don't even have to say who they are, I'm sure everyone reading this had several girls flash through their heads.

I don't mind the violent female leads to much in general, but I do dislike when they get to be a total pill with nearly no redeeming features and seem to have everything go their way. I suppose my best example be Sakura from Naruto vs Askua from Evangellion. Sure their both violent, mostly abusive female leads. But while Sakura has pretty good time of things for most the series. Goes from Fangirl to super powered aprentice of Tsunade and all that. While Askua gets really screwed up and utterly defeated by end the series.

I suppose long as 'karma' swings around some time I am less critical of such violent females.

Can't say I agree. Lina Inverse is one of my favourite characters and she's short tempered, greedy, egotistical, her motives never really rise above semi-enlightened self-interest and she's quite prone to violence. And that's the reason I like her.

sinji must die he is the worst of the wimps and thats saying something. everyone rides some of animes biggest wimps and they all look pretty good compared to him.

lynn min-may is by far the oldest and biggest of the anime people that must die...die...die..die......

anthy from the movie....something about her being a drug crazied insectios slut is saying something and her brother from the anime or the movie is an idiot also.

the female lead from full metal panic is an idiot, sas is bad ass and very funny in FUFU.....

the heads of the motor club from ah my goddess, they both need to taken out and beaten a lot.

the whole gundum wing thing...becuase i am very tired od hearing from raving fan girls that they are GAY!!!!!!!

Sasuke, also from Naruto. I have some real issues with this guy and his stupid angsty drive to kill his brother. He's so patheticaly weak, by the time he finaly graduated from ninja academy Itachi was already at least chunin on his way to anbu captian yet he fool deludes himself into thinking he might beat the guy some how, because he unlocked a bloodline his brother has had for years? Then his first mission, first time he really felt killer intent in wave the guy nearly comits sucide, does nothing overly useful in the series of fights.. and still deludes himself into thinking he's on his way to beating his brother. I hate this character not just because his personalty but his over whelming fan and author aproval, for reasons beyond my understanding. The guy hasn't done a single thing really on his own, it's always 'amazing powers out of no where' or chance events that let Sasuke suceed at things. Even Sakura was a better ninja then Sasuke in the early days, at least she didn't almost slit her throat in the face of Zabuza.

This rant just has to go out to a wide range of characters, but it's mostly focused at the 'harem' style anime. Where some hopeless male atracts the attention of almost every pretty girl in his area, but is to dumb or spineless to so much as kiss a girl on the cheek or hold her hand. Some times it's just a childrens show with a weak romance, but still why bother having it at all if nothing remotely important is going to happen? It's like the romances in Pokemon, some episodes they are there others they are completly ignored. Not only does these male characters never catch a clue, but rarely have much in the way of redeeming features. They tend to be spineless cowards who are usualy 'nice' but thats it. If simply being a nice guy was all it took to atract dozens of girls, there would be a tone more nice guys.

I agree with pretty much all of this. You can add to that violent female love interests in general, and harems in general, as somebody else mentioned.

Regarding Itachi, I don't hate the character like I used to. While not a saint, he's not the Standard Dark, Broody character that the author seemed to aiming for at first. Perhaps a bit morally ambiguous, but a somewhat interesting character overall. Sasuke is still lame, though. Seriously dude, just get the @#&* over it. The world doesn't revolve around you and your emo-ness.

Narusegawa Naru...one of my most hated characters ever. She was significantly more tolerable by the end of the series, but I have a substantial dislike for 'romance' setups like this. She'll be a likable character for a few pages, then pow - knee-jerk reaction to some inconsequential thing, and obviously the only solution is bodily harm to the guy she likes. Same reasons I'm not very fond of Akane - while she's not as bad as most fanon portrays, she's still consistently annoying.
