Chiibi said: NichiyaMagimi said: Hell fucking yes!! The only reason I dropped Death Note is because Light was too much of an asshole. I don't like Light either and also dropped the show. It's way too hard to root for someone who has thrown away his humanity like that. I would probably have dropped DN if it wasn't for L. |

bmoore07 said: Tsuna_Sawada27 said: I guess Eren from AOT or just characters like him such Alibaba in Mag(happens to be the same voice actor)i are annoying to me, yet the shows are still great because of the plot and other characters such as Levi, or Sinbad from Magi I hated Eren when I first watched Attack on Titan because he was an unlikable, holier-than-thou jerk who basically treated the other characters like garbage (especially Mikasa). The overdramatic walking cliche fortunately couldn't prevent me from enjoying this series but it could've been better without him. But he didn't treat Mikasa like shit. He just didn't treat her like a romantic partner. When he was a kid and he was angry at the Titans and didn't want to take food from the adults, he didn't treat Mikasa like shit. They were just having an argument. When Mikasa asked about her hair and he said to cut it, it's because it makes sense she's in the fucking military. When Mikasa wanted to join him on the front line he called her selfish, and said to realize her own skill and take her position in the back lines where she was supposed to be. Not once did he hit her, say mean things to her or even ignore her opinions. Eren treated Mikasa as an equal human being and as a superior when it came to skill. He wasn't even holier than though. Like... at all. There were a lot of people aiming to be a part of the military police he didn't go at (Like connie springer.) The only reason he attacked that asshat Jeanne was because Jeanne belittled the Survey Corps for sacrificing their lives in order to learn more about what was out there in the world. Jeanne's views on joining the military police in and of itself was never really the problem. Eren even says that. Also, how can he treat the other characters like garbage and they STILL like him. That literally makes no sense. Armin inspires him and he always treats Armin kindly. He never laughed at potato girl and saw her strengths when they were attacking the colossal titan. The guy's action makes PERFECT sense in every sense of that word. |
Mastergold said: Not necessarily, take for example "School Days" a lot of people rate that show with a 1/10 just because the MC "Makoto" was a complete asshole, but to me he's one of the few most realistic character out there. Overall: Yes & No! but I will find it a bit silly that someone will dislike a show just for one simple character. -Mastergold School Days is a fucking terrible anime but ironically enough, Makoto isn't even the worst character in it. Literally every single character is an awful, backstabbing, cheating piece of shit. All of them. It's kinda funny when they try to make an MC as terrible as possible...And he fades into the background because he can't even compete with all the side characters lol. |

| All this School Days talk is making me wanna watch it (can't remember much since it was one of my first anime) Come on tho it can't be that terrible . |

When I hear about this anime from anime fans, its always about the being different harem stuff, the exaggeration, but never if its a good anime overall or not. The anime was mostly boring. I hated the mood swings from the anime. It was slice of life and then drama, back to slice of life, and then drama. SD was just a deconstruction anime, but I dont think it was a good anime. Makoto was really bland. Why did the chicks even like him? The should have made him look more masculine or given him a more interesting personality, and then I would have understood why. All these chicks just threw themselves at him only because hes the male MC. I also didnt like how everyone was just evil. I know we all have our evil sides, but come on. Not like that. Ill always appreciate that anime because most males in this planet want to be as lucky as Makoto (minus the ending of course) If you want a deconstruction of the harem genre plus being a good anime overall, I recommend White Album (AKA White Album 1) |

| Yes, for me characters are the most important thing in my opinion. Even if the story is good, as well as the art and sound (although I'm not big on art and sound at all), then it can make me enjoy the anime far less. A good example of this is Death Note, story was good and interesting, art and sound was good for it's time, but I didn't like any of the characters, they all ranged from meh to annoying in my opinion, which made me enjoy the show far less. |

| Really can. Kirito destroyed SAO for me. Haru made Accel world a joke. Whatever his name is killed Gundam Stardust Memory for being one of the most entitled main characters ever. Shuu and the rebel leader dude made Guilty Crown unbearable... admittedly, so did Inori with her weird, autistic-like state 90% of the time. |
| I only watched the first episode of Accel World and dropped because the MC sucked. Some of the other characters seemed kinda cool but I couldn't be bothered with him. |

stephtastrophe said: I only watched the first episode of Accel World and dropped because the MC sucked. Some of the other characters seemed kinda cool but I couldn't be bothered with him. Eeyup. Really hated that they made him even more retarded looking by drawing him like a fat child whilst everyone else looked like normal humans. This is a guy who apparently is 3 foot tall, 3 foot wide with a head as wide as his shoulders and pulled the hottest girl in the world. He was practically tall enough to always have an upskirt shot. |
| Lol, yeah that was the main thing I hated! everyone else did look normal! I didn't get why he looked younger than the rest either. |
|
| One single character, no. All or most of the cast, yes. |

| ABSOLUTELY! - Danmachi : Maybe it was because of his voice actor (i really don't like Matsuoka), i couldn't stand Bell. BREASTia Hestia being there also did not help. - Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei : Tatsuya and his annoying sister can fall into a ditch and die for all i care. - Aldnoah.Zero : Inaho is probably one of the worst and most boring MC i have ever seen. - Mirai Nikki : Yuuki ruined a good portion of the show for me. - Himouto! Umaru-chan : Despite the rest of the cast being likable characters, Umaru's shitty personality was too much for me to handle. |

| Yes. Saekano. Seriously, fuck the MC. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I don't know. One bad element doesn't necessarily mean all other elements are worthless, but the MC is a dominating element. I can imagine an anime still being enjoyable even with a crappy MC, but I can't imagine a great anime with a crappy MC. |

| I disliked the main character in Chaos Head but I still enjoyed the anime. |
| I disliked Yagami Light in Death Note but it didn't ruin the show. It just made it all the more satisfying when he finally gets what's coming to him. |
 |
| Yes, easily. Characters are the most important part of an anime to me and if I can't stand the characters, no matter how good the story may be, I'm generally tempted to drop it. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| I hated Light Yagami but that didn't stop me from watching the show. I wanted to see him die, or at least get exposed. However, I hated Haruhi Suzumiya and that was the major reason why I dropped the show. |
ItsMaz said: CapitalistGod said: Yep. But to an extent. Other characters from the said show can make it salvageable... That's what happened with my enjoyment of Infinite Stratos... Ichika Orimura's blandness was saved by Charlotte and Laura! I even watched the second season because of them. Just think of how amazing IS could have been if Ichika wasn't in it. Or if he didn't have the IQ of a brick. Know right? You can also throw in Houki and that Chinese discount childhood friend character in that mix. And IS would infinitely be better. |

| Subtle thread is subtle... Fate forum is that way --> There is a shit show shit MC shit franchise thread there every other day, you don't have to be shy. Plot-driven works, or works with an ensemble cast you can dislike the main and still like the show. A work which hinges on a single character, not really. |

| The MC can ruin a show for me if liking them is almost essential to the enjoyment. If a show is based on the adventures of what the MC is doing, like things don't move unless the MC does their thing, and you don't like the MC then it can definitely ruin a show. My first thought is Denpa Kyoushi. Right from the start, I thought, "How is that okay? This guy's an asshole, but maybe he'll learn and get better". Unfortunately, the show was attempting to show that he was in the right pretty much at all times, no matter who he hurt, caused to worry, or whatever. One thing I'm just not down for is an MC who always seems to be right in a show. Honestly though, that wasn't the only thing wrong with Denpa Kyoushi, so I don't even know if it's just the MC that ruined the show for me, but it was mainly the MC. Yet with Etotama, I thought the MC was annoying; I still managed to gain a little enjoyment out of the show. It's a lot easier to deal with one person who's just in the main cast but isn't the main MC for a show. Also, I actually really liked Free! up until the last episode because of the entire main cast becoming incredibly annoying at the end, if that counts. |

| Defeating a sandwich, only makes it tastier |
| yes when it's heavily focused on the main character and the main character is cringe worthy and naive I can't continue watching the show. why should I invest myself in a story about a main character I don't like |

Hireen22 said: yes, any mc thats useless or just plain retarded ruins the show for me personally. *COUGH COUGH* *EVERY HAREM ANIME EVER* That is not true for ALL harem mcs. Some are badass or at least smart. |
|
| ash/satoshi is definitely ruin experience pokemon anime for me. |
| I think they do, because since their the MC, you see them alot & then ofc they do things that you don't like. Am i the only one who finds Eren not annoying? Like yeah, sure, Mikasa can deal with it. But thats only because she had to deal with his sh*t since they were kids. I've heard people say he's annoying & I don't find him annoying? Damn, I just went off topic (kindof). |
