It's easy, there're tons of anime, so you dont have to force yourself to watch one you don't like. If someone like me who prioritize character development and attitude over almost everything, watch an anime that lack on that department, we just drop it and look for something better suit to our taste.

For me in Nodame Cantabile, Chiaki was a tsundere and Nodame was the typical baka girl, still i did like it because there was in fact some character development. Although the romance did delay way toomuch, and all that misunderstanding in order to keep the sexual tension, just was horrible (typical josei) . Still like i love the classical music, i just had to finish it

Characters are used within anime to enhance them, add more development with character interactions and such or even used for entertainment... If an anime had an very ANNOYING protagonist that you see every episode with no development and he's just shittng his pants or being a doormat main character it honestly puts you off a series.

How could you watch Bleach if Ichigo was a wimp and he couldn't accept being a soul reaper and kept running away all the time?

Note I'm using protagonists here.. Annoying side characters could be worse.

If an Anime has a weak supporting cast and a terrible MC, then I think the show is drop worthy.

Raki from Claymore...

He didn't cause me to drop the show cause the show was awesome...but his constant crying in every fucking episode was enough to ruin this show for the masses. Seriously, when I first started Claymore I was baffled by how good it was after about 12 episodes despite its "meh" rating on MAL. I would have prob given the show a 9 if it hadn't given up so much screen-time on such a whiny little shit especially towards the end.

At least one person in the world hates Onodera. I didn't want to drop the show, not even close, but Onodera probably is in my top hated characters. If you like a guy - go and fucking tell him. There were plenty of opportunities.

Kei from Onegai Teacher. God I hate that little bitch so much. I dropped the show for a long time after finishing like 3/4 of it. And it would take a lot to drop a show about banging your teacher. This was also during a dub phase and his voice was just so whiny in the dub (not sure about the original VA). Months and months later I did just finish it up because of the completionist in me.

I found him very refreshing for a shoujo male MC. He's not a perfect character (unlike Usui from Kaichou wa Bitch-sama), has a fair share of flaws, has a believable backstory and talks bluntly in a funny way.

We could argue that non-shoujo romance MC's are even worse though..

Oh, check out Josei romance though. Much, much better. Honey and Clover, Nodame, Chihayafuru, Kuragehime...etc.

Usui is a Gary Stu, which is one of the qualities that male MC in shoujo have that I dont like. But the main audience for shoujo anime where the main theme is romance is for the ladies. So im guessing thats why the male MC are always like that (mr. perfect), since Im guessing thats what the ladies wants :P

Uhmm let's say it's just more mature, for example about sexuality, cheating, love polygon and in alot of themes that shojo doesnt how to handle properly. If the difference between shonen and seinen it's that justice doesnt always prevails. The difference between shojo and josei should be, a girl in love is not idiot.

Ofc, i'm kidding.

I suppose. Most Josei are either taken place in college life or beyond. It still holds comedy but doesn't have as much as the stupid high school antics. (Kaichou wa Maid-sama is a good example of this) From my experience, Josei's more bittersweet compared to Shoujo and not necessarily happy ending.

Kei being whiny makes sense though considering his illness and the situation his illness has put him in. I watched it in Japanese and his voice was okay.

I honestly wouldn't mind. Bleach's cast is way too big for anyone to be bothered by a wimpy MC. Besides, it all depends on the setting how much one is bothered by all that stuff. It's frustrating in anime like Accel World because it is set in a generic typical school, whereas something like the Soul Society and the countless eccentric characters it has would serve as sufficient distraction. That said, that was a terribly disparate example to give.
