| I'm a person that usually like an anime only due to its character, I know that is strange, but I really think that any story, with a good character, can become a good story. For example, what would it be GTO without Onizuka, LoGH without our favourite prince, Kaze no Stigma without Kazuma or FMP without Sagara Sousuke (I've just given, some of my favourite examples) And like that when a character is awful and the story is nice, it becomes a bad anime. Right now I was just trying to get past through Mirai Nikki for my third time, and its just...I cant stand the main character, I hate him so much, I dont know why is so laim...(ok, I will stop there) So,I've thought that I've had similar cases where if the main character wasnt so XXXXXXXXXX (I dont know) for example Toradora!, I dont like tsundere and like that I dropped it for a long time. Another example for me is probably Evangelion, is an awesome serie but I cant stand the main character, dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that all the characters must be as cold blooded as Saigara Sasuke or Kazuma, but he and his psychological trouble because his father doesnt love him enough ( I know there are more) is something I cant Stand. Other example is Love Hina... Please, limit yourselfs to Main Characters, unless the list will be toomuch long. |

| I have yet to drop a show for good, but some MCs single-handedly made me hate/dislike shows that I wouldn't have otherwise. Those three perverts in Green Green weren't main characters, but I just can't go without mentioning them. They got at least as much on-screen time as the actual MC so they should pass anyway. The little kid in Kanokon. He never did anything in the show except being a pussy and get sexually assaulted. Oh, and his voice. Some other mentions, but not nearly as extreme Elfen Lied Amagami SS+ plus Final Approach Zero no Tsukaima (the last few seasons anyway) |

| Sakamichi no Apollon - Ritsuko Mukae She made it so horrible for me to watch that anime so I dropped it. |

B-b-but your avatar. lol I've never actually dropped a anime yet due to a character(I try to stick through with it all the way through no matter how unbearable.) One character that did make me just want to DROP the show so badly though was Emiya Shirou from Fate/Stay Night. God I never wanted to drop a show so badly as I did. Almost did it to but when I realized their was only about 4 episodes left I just punched my pillow, and kept watching. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

Some other mentions, but not nearly as extreme Elfen Lied Amagami SS+ plus Final Approach Zero no Tsukaima (the last few seasons anyway) I totally agree with the two first ones (you can see it in my tags from my list xD)...But in zero no tsukaima, who's the annoying? Because I do like Saito character, he has a lot of guts and for a harem leader is quite decissive (I remember the ending of the second season (at least the first ending if you get me) that was awesome, what annoys me is that annoying tsundere (He should have chosen the queen...I dont understand it...why why why) |
|
| Well the main character in Mirai Nikki does start out a bit uninteresting compared to everyone else but he gets better later on and actually becomes really how you say believable if that makes any sense. It's just that Gasai Yuno happens to have been conceived by gods of awesomeness since she's actually able to carry the main character on her back and make up for the fact that he's not that interesting early on anyway. I think they were going for the dichotomy of Yukiteru being an ordinary character everybody else being odd and interesting so I suppose it works on that level. But that's just my opinion. As far as irritating main characters go I tend to generally end up liking the main characters but Evangelion is probably what comes to mind. I didn't mind the movies so much but Shinji Ikari is by far the most annoying main character I've ever seen in an anime. But then again almost all the characters are unlikable save for Rei Ayanami. |

She was the only one who got under my skin from the very start, but I started to dislike pretty much everyone after the charm of the first season wore off and every single character became perverted and illegally dumb. |
| Shana from Shakugan no Shana. Anime I felt like dropping but didn't: Taiga from ToraDora. Everyone from Love Hina. Everyone from Peach Girl Romeo and Juliet in Romeo x Juliet |

Ardamaeus said: Shana from Shakugan no Shana. Really!? Shana? Wow... |
| I guess GuZ and Ardameus that we three have a lot of trouble with the tsunderes characters... I did like Zero no Tsukaima, but because I thought (if you see at the second season) that there would be a romantic twist, like Saito falling in love with the princess, because ok, let's be realistic: You have a jelous-extreme slayer that seriously hurt you, an idiotic and normal but kind hearted maid or a pretty, kind, mature queen. At the beginning of the third season, my hopes were growing, but then with the new big tits elf fell, it pass from an interesting love polygon to a typical tsundere perverted harem. I havent watched Shakugan no Shana totally, because I had more than enough from that seiyuu and her kurosai kurosai kurosai (sorry I dont know how its written) And the same from Toradora, I cant stand that girl... |

| The main girl on Uta no Prince Sama I don't know about her character but the color of her eyes creeped me out so much I couldn't get past the first episode. |

I got about 15 minutes in and couldn't take the stupidity. Agree on the three perverts, the MC was just the generic shy/dorky harem lead, and I couldn't become attached to any of the female characters. Everybody in gantz. Everyone is a scumbag, and aren't really given any human depths to them at all, they just seem like vehicles for the show to be 'edgy' and 'dark'. Pretty much everyone in Ichigo 100% too. The main character is just an idiot, plain and simple and the female charcters are just stereotypes and objects of his romantic (i'm being generous) fixation. |

| I don't really recall hating an anime character so much that it made me drop an anime. Characters may be the most important for me; but when there's a good character in return for the bad one, I'll sit through it (Like Shana & co.). However, I did notice that the anime I've dropped pretty much don't contain any characters that I do like. Granted, I dropped a lot early on so there's little chance to get to know the characters, but by now I roughly know what character I'm going to like just from comparing the synopsis to the basic archetype of the character. |

RLinksoul said: The iDOLM@STER - Azusa. Not a fan of the big breasted, ditzy types, and this one came off as being a mary sue. Really blatant in that episode where she runs around in a wedding dress and everyone adores/is inspired by the very sight of her. You dropped iDOLM@STER at episode 16, which means you miss the amazing-ness of episode 20. |
|
| Shana and Yuji from Shakugan no Shana. Damn annoying . |
RLinksoul said: Keroro Gunsou - Keroro. Every utterance of "Pekopon" made me facepalm. Why does that make you facepalm? For me, the two main characters in Bakuman and the girl that Mashiro likes (I might read the manga version anyways though, lol) |

Maybe he thought that those characters as so awesome that no one could think is not sarcasm but he was wrong. Not all share his view of them to consider hating them as impossible. |
| well I dropped Ah! My Goddess some time ago only because of Keiichi, that kid simply made me hate anime for a while. Though I watched after a while the whole anime (which I regret) |
| Sore Wa Himitsu Desu |
| both yuno and yuki from mirai nikki yuuji (seirei no hebi) in shana 3 |
| TL & founder of Refrain Subs. Website: Check us out for weekly releases! |
| Golden Boy - Kintaro Oe One Piece - Chopper |

| I dropped Rozen Maiden because I thought most of the characters were annoying, I do like the story though. |

|
| Kuroko Shirai from A Certain Scientific Railgun. It's even worse considering how awesome she is in the manga. |
 |
| I didn't like the MC of Karin so... :< |
| The only one I can think of is Reborn from Hitman Reborn. The most annoying voice ever... |
| The Lucky Star cast made me drop Lucky Star. These things are not characters just ugly blobs of art. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| That Nijiima guy in Kenichi... |
Ekvi said: That Nijiima guy in Kenichi... Lol. I find Nijima hilarious personally :P To each their own~ |
| That one pink-haired chick from ZnT. I couldn't stand looking at her face anymore, so I stopped watching and sold the box set I wasted money on. I know, "watch it before you buy it"... Ichigo was one main reason I stopped watching Bleach, other than my lack of interest. He was the typical Shounen character and I just got so annoyed with watching him and his battles. Then we have Naruto...the villains and Naruto himself just couldn't hold my interest anymore, and I got annoyed with them quickly, so I pulled the plug. I didn't like any character at all by the 90's, so I knew I wouldn't pull through to the recent ones. |
| I can't say that I have yet; but I have quite a huge ptw list so I am sure that some will be coming up. I pretty much just try and stick it out because all instances that I can think of where I really disliked a character; the characters that I liked have far outweighed and balanced out my disliked characters. Mainly because I really enjoy series mostly due to the characters. So I even if I dislike one or two characters, I can easily enough like 10 or more in the same series lol. |
 |
| I dropped Canvas 2: Niji-iro no Sketch because of the main character there.. He may seem like the standard main character from a comedy/romance anime, but i just don't know why, i hate his guts. Give me a spiked bat and let me hit him, pretty pleeeease! |

| The only 2 characters that come in mind that made me drop a serie were Aichi from Cardfight Vanguard (whiny and homosexual for Kai) And the main character from Fate stay Night |
 |
| ^I so agree with Cardfight Vanguard. I wasted my time on that anime.. probably Shakugan no Shana II - I can't stand Kazumi.. |
| Hmmm I guess I dropped the second season of Hayate no Gotoku because of hinagiku (although it also had to do with a lack of humour) I also didn't like any of the characters in Full Metal Panic, so more of a joint thing there. |
