Look at Yang from LoGH or Mikoto from Railgun. in the end Yang wasnt OP I mean he was intellectually OP which is what really mattered for the show. Oscar would kick everyone's ass in CQC though. Even Schenkopp. (runs) |

| i watch anime to watch characters burn and i can't do that when the characters are OP |
| OP characters aren't flawed and characters without flaws are dull and boring. |
 |
| Well, my thoughts are that it doesn't matter if the character is OP, but there are certain exceptions. If a author uses overpowered characters to support a plot point or send a message, then they can go right ahead. If it's use for showing off characters that was recently introduced or have changed, then it's okay, but if the authors constantly try to show them off with absolutely nothing to show behind that power, the character just becomes annoying. |

| Gamers are better people than Anime watchers. It seems to me that the OP hasn't posted on Bioware social network before. Lots of people complained about Shepard being too strong. |

Nidhoeggr said: Strange, because most people I know irl vastly prefer the phase where you build the character to the phase where you are overpowered as hell. Acooriding to them - and me - it gets really boring when you can do anything with almost no difficulty. Then again, most new Bioware games are more about pandering to people who think of them as a relationship simulator than to people who prefer good RPGs. Play some good games like Planescape Torment or Baldur's Gate instead. I like Dragon Age origins and Divinity original sin but I can't get into Baldur's gate or Planescape torment because they feel too old. I'll try the Baldur's gate enhanced edition though. |

| Skipped everything but I'm saying that Over Powered main characters tend to have NO development and normally have ass pulls. I get it the first few times but then it gets repetitive, annoying and boring seeing someone win every fight. |
"Hi!" |
Mikatarukito said: Over Powered main characters tend to have NO development. This and they also have a tendency to be hell annoying. By saying things like 'oh if I don't get this right (which you are obviously going to do) the world will collide'. These are just trying to increase the tension but their very character screws it all up. |
| Because it's more awarding to see a character lose, train and then finally win. |
| I don't care either way, but... OP characters are no fun at all. |
| If I do watch an anime with an OP character usually my favorite character ends up getting killed. A lot of people's favorite characters are OP, if any of my favorite characters went up against the average favorite character they would be dead in a few minutes. but pure luck and the power of friendship would save them. |
 |
| I don't necessarily hate them but it does irritate me that u already know that they are gonna win. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Why I hate them? Because they can end their fights like, 5 seconds. Where's the fun in that? |
 |
| Kenshin's master in Ruroni Kenshin is a good example of making an OP character. Make him neutral. |

| I think what OP meant is "OP protagonist". I mean, we still have captain Aizen, don't we? Maybe the problem is the characterization rather than 'ass-pull-ness'. Onii-sama is much more bearable because... look at him! Gentlemanly, suave and swag .Put the OP-ness on him, and you have a perfect & likeable Gary Stu. Even if you don't like him, you still can like him ironically. How about Kirito? You know what? He is no different than that silver crow from Accel World. Gloomy teenage edgelord! His characterization is very close towards one of the 'bullied kids' who likes hearing Linkin Park song for whatever reason. Long story short: Too much negativity & No fun at all. Long story short, I'm agree with: OriginANIME said: It really depends on how its done to be honest. I like some OP characters and hate some as well. |

Saandro said: It's not about being OP. It's about if the character is good or not. Kenshiro from Fist of the north star is OP as hell. Yet he is a good character. Someone like Tatsuya is also OP but is just a poorly written self-insert character. Most likely being OP is just another thing people throw into the mix, when complaining about a bad character. But even if the character is good, people might still dislike the MC for being OP because it means that the plot is more predictable. |
| your waifu is shit |
| OP characters are ok as long as there are OP villains. |
I luv u |
| but still, winning because he's OP is better than winning because he did an asspull. |
 |
| OP is only acceptable when it's Godpachi. |
 |
| I didn't hate OP, i hate Gary Stu. No, i actually didn't hate Gary Stu, i hate boring character and plot which is mostly unable to avoid from a Gary Stu character and story(reference : Twilight Saga) I like Accelerator even though he is kinda God-Mode Sue. But Kirito is a big NO. |
Ryukatsuka said: OP is only acceptable when it's Godpachi. Godpachi is Kenpachi? but he's not OP, he's on a level above OP. :3 |

| Because it turns into a matter of - 'You can't defeat me! I'm the protagonist!' |
allflying said: Funny you should say that. Watching Mahouka is actually what made me realise everything that Kawahara did right with Kirito's characterisation.I think what OP meant is "OP protagonist". I mean, we still have captain Aizen, don't we? Maybe the problem is the characterization rather than 'ass-pull-ness'. Onii-sama is much more bearable because... look at him!

Long story short, I'm agree with: OriginANIME said: It really depends on how its done to be honest. I like some OP characters and hate some as well. You see, Kirito is ridiculously overpowered and has plenty of Gary Stu moments in the game. But when it comes to Kazuto, the actual person behind the character, he's portrayed as a normal human being who exhibits weakness, has very flawed ideals and actually reacts to things like normal people would in his situation. Sure it's not much to boast about. But when it comes to Tatsuya he's always the one to win the battle, never even shows a hint of weakness and is always the smartest guy in the room and the voice of reason on every single occasion. Kirito I can like ironically during his Gary Stu moments. Tatsuya is just boring. I much prefer to use him as an example of how creatively bankrupt anime can get. |

| lol, Kirito is barely OP in the first half of season (too many battles where he lost/was saved) one and still needs Kayaba to save him in the 2nd half. |
| Shiba Tatsuya is the worst OP main character I ever seen. He just perfect in everything he does. Tatsuya is worse than Kirito. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

| And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible. |
| I don't hate OP characters, it depends how they are done. If it's a power where they can't possibly lose and they are the MC, then yes, I have no praise for such an arrangement. Subaru is a perfect example of this: this guy effectively has infinite redos of any scenario so his "handicap" of being dumb actually serves as an irritating and ugly slap from a stereotypical gary stu situation into the even more loathed anti-stu (a subtype of a gary stu) situation. More classic gary-stus come in the form of Tatsuya Shiba who just powers through everything with no expression on his face and the show is trying to get the viewers to take this seriously. On the other hand, whereas Lelouch can geass everyone he meets from the start, the handicap is his own humanity - his morals, a superego within that tells him it's wrong. This makes for an interesting conflict between his resistance of that option and the ensuing consequentialist/deontological exchange between him and Suzaku. Another interesting take is RahXephon's idea of "tuning" the world. The power itself is godhood but the user only gains access to it after a long journey into himself to understand and accept who he is and the world around him. So, in conclusion, all depends on how this type of character is handled. |
