Tenma has to be one of the worst characters of the show, along with that piece of wood named Karasuma.


hmm.. idk..

reading tenma's synopsis, she sounds like she carries the show..


Decoy protagonist.

It really centres around Harima.

As someone who has read the manga, I suggest you stay away from it by at least a mile.

@Azu...Harima carries the entire show. Tenma is simply horrible and painful to watch.


You hated the second season, though. I don't really remember minding it that much. And, yeah, Harima is the highlight of the series. Definitely.

Kazuharu from Girl's Bravo, without him it'd be nowhere.
Also, Charlotte from Infinite Stratos

And a likely controversial one, Ayumi Yamada (and almost Shinobu Morita) from Honey and Clover.

I didnt really cared to much about the main char of Toara Majutsu no Index & Railgun but ...
Accelerator & Last Order really made it more enjoyable to watch for me.

I don't think many people read the OP as I noticed some people listing characters that had appeared since the first episode, excluding second seasons.

Charlotte for IS, though the show was generally terrible in my opinion, I was generally watching for the character designs and KanaHana

Yeah, difficult question.

So it has to be a series that needs to be saved by a character because the main characters are bad? So I cannot say that Orochimaru saved Naruto, Hanatarou saved Bleach and Alluka saved HxH.

So I would say that Lambo saved KHR (in several ways, actually).
Koenma-sama saved YYH.
Eiji saved Bakuman.

Convenient that someone brought this thread back to life, I have a new addition: Mikakunin de Shinkoukei was largely incrediboring, but was saved by Mashiro.

I edited this into the OP a while ago: It's cool if a character was there from the beginning but grew in importance.

I always think of Izayoi from Mondaiji-tachi when this question comes up.
It's like he was put in the wrong anime. I mean he was such a badass character, but Mondaiji-tachi was a boring show.

Scar and Greed from FMA.

The only two characters that I found interesting in the series. I would count Olivera too, but my interest on her, never got past ''goddamn she is hot''.

Tensai from Nananananana Buried Treasure comes in my mind. She's a great character who deserves its own show,not a terrible idiotic one like this.

Also,Kurumi saved both Date A Live seasons for me. Especially s2,which was trash,but with Kurumi was less trashy.

Forgetfulness said:
I agree with the Charlotte comments in Infinite Stratos. KanaHana's voice is amazing and also, her interaction with Ichika when they were roomies was probably the sweetest thing in the entire show.


She's easily best girl,but I also found Laura quite enjoyable.

Sunohara in Clannad, without him I probably would have dropped it before finishing it, and the show would have got a rating of 4 from me without him.

Had to be Lelouch from Code geass. The rest of the cast kinda sucked, Lelouch, like a king (plz note the shit pun) lead the anime, like a king would lead his subordinates..

He was a great character.

Dunno if I'd put hououin kyouma from steins;gate since that was a master piece. But he made the series a lot more fun that it originally was.

Edit: Also Onizuka from GTO.

Another edit: Hiruko Kagetane from Black bullet. Sucks he died at episode 4.

Hachiman from the anime My Romantic Comedy is a Failure as Expected.

The anime wasnt that good, but Hachiman was just amazing. He carried that anime and made it into one of my favorites.

One of the best anime characters ever.

Putting primary main characters aside for a moment I came into this thread going to say Yuno but after seeing like a billion other people already mention her I thought about it a bit harder.

I would have to say Ikki from Saint Seiya carried the series for me in the way that Sasuke does for Naruto. The bad ass character that's probably too overpowered and is listed as a main character but isn't in every episode and has times where they don't even show up for awhile but when they do usually shit is going down.

I guess I can also say one of the main reasons I still watch Fairy Tail is because I'm waiting to see one of the OP characters like Jellal or Gildarts show up.

True Tears would be pretty terrible without Noe. I LOVED the show when the plot focussed on her but it got incredibly frustrating to watch when she got ditched in the second half.

She didn't get ditched at all. She was still a very relevant part of the show, and the protagonist.

Grimmer in Monster. I wouldn't say he "saved" the show because it didn't need to be saved, but he certainly made things much more interesting once he was in

Also going to say Yoshii in Texhnolyze for the same reason
