Are there any characters which you wanted to see more but were killed early, forgotten or the anime itself was too short?

I just finished watching Isekai Onsen Paradise and I really liked its female lead, Mayudama. She has a very sweet personality and gorgeous looks, but unfortunately her anime was extremely short, so my time with her wasn't as long as I'd like.

Healin' Good♥Pretty Cure.

Mary Ann in Star☆Twinkle Pretty Cure. She deserved to have much more screen time. She was a very entertaining character.

Well yeah, I would have loved to see the entire main cast from the Akiba's Trip 2 game appear in the AT Anime (especially Rin)

But instead they just picked the dumb maid Kati alone. I know not the reason, perhaps insanity.

The base form of Phos from Houseki no Kuni.

The cute, adorable, and cheeky version.

Before everything went wrong for her.

I feel like most of the better characters in Demon Slayer like Rengoku got killed off way too early, which kinda sucks, because all the good ones are dying and we're stuck with buffoons lol.

Also, in JoJo Part 5, Fugo was brushed out of the story too early too, he didn't die, but I guess due to balancing reasons he was taken out early.

I would love to see more of Mystogan in Fairy Tail. It is one of the most powerful and mysterious characters. Still, they decided to send him to another dimension and made it almost impossible for him to return.

Leonica From Ragna Crimson, The show just kind of tossed her to the side, I get the main characters motivation for leaving her, but still, the show could have done something with her instead of completely ditching her after the second episode.

Pretty much all the girls in the first season of Tsugumomo Not so much in the anime (yet), but in the manga they all get left by the wayside once Kazuya starts growing his harem of tsukumogami girls. They become the new harem and the old harem is tossed aside.

Ouzen and Marulk, in Made in Abyss, while not killed or forgotten really, but I still would have loved to see more of them, they were a fun pair, who weren't around long enough.

Last one, again, not killed or forgotten, I just would have loved to see more of Tsukihi from the Monogatari series. She's the only girl who doesn't really get to be the main character of an arc, sure she has an arc focused around her, but she's not really the main character, in fact she is asleep for most of it, it's mostly about how the other characters around her deal with the issue. Would love to see her get an arc where she herself is front and center. Instead of just always being in the background, or a plot device to move other characters into action.

I can't forgive Araki for throwing Fugo away just for the reason of his powers being too "inconvenient" for the story.
At least they could have animated Purple Haze Feedback already.

In Urusei Yatsura, Lum's friends Oyuki and Benten kind of get forgotten at a certain point. Ran becomes the only main reoccurring alien friend.

i wanted to see more of miria and isaac's shenanigans, 13 episodes for baccano is just too less. boa hancock is my favorite female character in one piece but she hasn't gotten a major role in a very long time so i hope she returns sometime before the end, as well as yamato and carrot.

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

Lust from FMAB. I’d only watched the first adaptation so i was thinking “there’s no way this is it” when Mustang was snapping his fingers.

Magane from Re:Creators. She was the most interesting character in the show, but the writers didn't care much about her. Celestia from Danganronpa was also a memorable, but neglected character in my opinion.

@Jackof-allspades I also like him, but I'm fine with how everything ended. As much as I love Psycho-Pass, I think everything past season 1 is just a cash grab anyway.

Quite a few secondary characters, including my avatar, Anzu.

Tsuruya from Haruhi. Can't get enough of that personality, the ankle-length hair and her fang tooth :)
Also Emiri Kimidori who's even (slightly) cuter than Mikuru which is saying something.

Hanako Koyanagi from Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii. She's a mc (so no shortage of screentime) but I expected to see her at least a few more times in her cross-dressing cosplay costume besides the one or two times from episode one.

Ririka Kenzaki was a delight in every scene she showed up in Liz to Aoi Tori so in the TV series I was disappointed not to see her show up more often (Chikai no Finale and the currently airing S3.

LotGH has a massive cast but after the 3 mc's there are quite a few near-mc's (Annerose, Hilda, Oberstein, Reuenthal, Mittermeyer, Frederica, Julian, Walter von Schenkopp, etc.) and beyond that 2nd tier are a few characters that get only a handful of scenes, one of them being von Merkatz. For me he's like my 4th or 5th fav character out of that huge cast. Unfortunately he really does get only a few speaking scenes, all of which I love. The character version in the re-boot is even better. For those who've already seen the show I will link a little vid of one of my favorites scenes in one of my fav episodes of the whole show (wouldn't recommend watching unless you've already seen the show):
As an aside I was pleasantly bowled over what they did with so many of the refurbished character designs in the re-boot. In particular Ulanhu. In the original OVA he comes and goes and barely registers but in the re-boot I absolutely loved the few scenes this rejuvenated character appeared in (to the point I practically have a bro-crush on him (I'm not gay)). He was so "forgettable" in the original that I had to do a search to re-watch the original character.

I made a short vid of his main appearance (technically a spoiler but this is such a minor character it's not very spoiler-y in the vast scheme of things in this show):

@8oomer Emiri Kimidori has a higher focus on the 8th novel of Haruhi, and Tsuruya gets a chapter focused only on her in the 12th novel if you're into reading the source material.
