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

Shinn Asuka, from Gundam SEED Destiny.

Look bud, I can sympathize with a guy who loses his whole family in a war. I can understand you being embittered towards the Athra family for being indirectly "responsible" for their deaths. I can even understand you trying to bring down Kira for killing Stellar.

But you didn't stop with Kira; you also tried to kill Athrun and Meyrin, and you almost killed Lunamaria right at the end. You deserved much worse than getting yourself pwned by Athrun, you angsty little sonofabitch, no matter how awesome the Destiny was.

Subs are bad enough but the dubs have caused me to vomit more than once.


You have your opinions, I have mine. Personally, the only issue I had with him was that annoying laugh; but Funimation's done away with that.

Issues, Artemis? It's not like he can hear you. :?

Anyways, a few others I thought I'd mention.

From the Slayers OVAs: Naga the Serpent. That woman scares me. Enough said.

From the English-dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seto Kaiba. That guy's inability to face the facts until the final few episodes of the series tended to get on my nerves.

And lastly, from Case Closed: Richard Moore, or Mouri Kogoro, as he's known in the original Detective Conan. I tend to frown on cluelessness in general, but he pretty much takes the cake. I mean, really; the kid's helped him out enough times to earn a spot on the A-list, and he still dismisses him. :x

In Yu-Gi-Oh! I didn't like Pegasus until after he got his eye removed. What does that say for a character? I like you better now that your eye was gouged out to collect all the Egyptian artifacts? It's just so sad he did so much to try to get his love back and all. Maybe if he didn't trap people in those cards.::shrug::

Naga is not scary. Naga with all ten of her clones laughing in unison (Especially the dubbed version, which had a much more annoying laugh), however, that is scary. That episode should be renamed 'I Dare You To Watch This Without Cringing'.

Happosai. Before we got the english translations of Ranma 1/2, me and my sister stayed up until midnight when the chinese dub of Ranma 1/2 would air (I dunno exactly why it has that time slot). During that time, both of us would groan if Happosai would make an appearance, as its a sure indication hours better spent sleeping. The guy is an ass, but always somehow avoids his come-uppance.

Haseo from .hack//roots (and GU in extension), the angsty bad boy that everyone loves.

Haruhi is realllly cute... But there are times when I wish Kyon would give her a smack. Take Happosai's depravations, remove them from the slapstick context and into a semi-serious one, and that should give you an idea of what her novel incarnation can be like.

And Minmei is a slut.

What has me cringing is the chest movement. It's not right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4haJieKnEk

Everything about her is scary. The clothing (or lack thereof), the stuff Spok referred to just now, and the laugh. I didn't see the one with the clones; I figure that just adds fuel to the fireball.

The scariest thing about Naga is that she's supposed to be Amelia's *elder sister*, that's what I feel.
Water, water, everywhere, and all was cursed and black!
Drowned ones cast bad spell and out come pig, girl, duck, panda!
Swirl, swirl, slithery pond, and join with magic spring!
Swirl, swirl, dirty pond, and rid the cursed sting!
Here my prayer, I beg you please!
Now turn these curses BACK!

Not supposed to be - is. Kanzaka has admitted it in an interview, though no Slayers novel, manga, anime or game has ever had the sisters run into each other. Much more disturbing is the fact that Naga inherited that outfit of hers from her mother.

Actually, I think after this part and this one, the full dose of Naga's laugh is absolute.

Honestly, I actually like Naga. She has a certain... amusement.


And I now have a newfound dislike for Precia from Nanoha.

After they start running around it reminds me more of a gaggle of Turkeys than a laugh.

At the risk of inciting major off-topic arguement the Destiny was a lousy mobile suit. It was inherently flawed becuase it lacked any weapon designed for 1-on-1 mobile suit combat. Of course it was going to lose to Infinite Justice whose shin mounted beam blades (aka the shiny shoelaces of doom) gave it some of the most close combat potential of any mobile suit in that conflict. The worst part is a simple pair of standard beam sabers would have corrected at least some of the issue.

Though if you want to hate someone in SEED Destiny (other than Morosawa for being able to meet a deadline and then going off the rails and Fukuda for not being able to stand up to her), reserve your hate for Talia. Leaving behind a husband and son just to do an Eva Braun impersonation with a bloody Palpatine wannabe is contemptible.

Otherwise the only anime character I hate is Ikari Gendo.

Everyone in H20 except Hayami, Hinata, Hirose and Otoha (Well and Hirose's uncle; but, he barely shows up.)

The show seems dedicated to showing how horrible people can be when given a blank check to bully someone else.

Quatro from Nanoha StrikerS. The reason is summed up in one of her quotes, refering to Nanoha and Vivio, "Now kill each other, like a good mother and daughter.". That, along with how she treats the other numbers, made me hate her with a passion.

Other than that, the later part of SeeD's Kira. He went from a half decent character to 'coordinator hax, lol!' and the nickname 'Jesus Yamato'. He suffered from more plot armour than any other character I've ever heard of that isn't from Warner Bros or simmilar, and got 'the virgin mary'. Yes, I may be biased against him, but after seeing one to many pictures of him beating the crap out of Shin while smiling and breaking the kid's cellphone, usually followed by a post preg-shin, It's kind of ingrained.

That and the fact that I supported KiraxCagalli until They left for space...
There are times for magic, there are time for martial arts, and there are times for giant Tiger-Dragon Robots that have both.
Beware the Otaku. He commands a mech that can unleash 123632 gigatons. Thats the equivalent of shooting Chicago, and knocking down ever building from Colorado to Maine.

Amen. She so should've bought the farm when Nanoha nailed her with that Divine Buster. I didn't even hate Jail quite as much as I hated Quattro, and that's saying something, since I really didn't like Jail.

On that note... I hate Jail Scaglietti quite a bit, primarily because of how he justifies his attempts to destroy the TSAB; I believe his words were something to the effect of "I'm just making use of otherwise meaningless lives".

That and the fact that I supported KiraxCagalli until They left for space...

Yeah, well, I supported Luke x Leia until I found out they were blood relatives too. Kira x Lacus was kind of unexpected, but I think they make a good couple.
