kira in death note he just went too extreme at the whole I am god thing it annoyed me and his evil laugh -____-

Haru and kyoko in hitman reborn. Just when good parts come they pop in. I fast forwarded everytime they came in. They never shut-up and said stupid and pointless stuff.

Hmm, is there a main character that I dislike?..Oh yes Lelouch(or as I like to call him, Ledouche(Le-douche)) from Code Geass. The series was fantastic, but I just had a deep hatred for Lelouch , because of the things he was doing and for the way people were comparing him to the genius Light Yagami/Kira.

Helloooooooo Macross Frontier!
I think we should embrace trappy main characters, instead of shunning them, as though they're the source of all evil.


No... Alto's incredibly boring to watch, Sheryl's a bitch, and Ranka turned stupid in the end.


Yeah I agree with you ><

and

La Corda d'Oro- Hino Kahoko I hated her I couldnt even finish the show

Eureka Seven - I honestly didn't care about anyone at Gekko State. Eureka grew on me, I didn't hate Renton, I was indifferent towards him. On the other hand, Dominic and Anemone were awesome. Hell yes.

Last Exile - Claus was okay, but I like it was the epic setting and steampunk style dogfights. Alex Rowe and Dio both captured my attention as characters though.

Hm. Naruto, to some degree, though I eventually got bored of the anime too.

Also, I thought Kira was a douchebag and he annoyed me pretty much the whole series...


That's about it. I find characters about the most important thing of a show.

No way, Tenma was brilliantly developed, and Johan is the greatest villain in all of anime.

Oh, and I liked Claymore a lot, but Raki (though he wasn't really a main character) is RETARDED.

12 kingdoms: the lead character got better eventually, but her constant whining nearly got me to drop the show

Code Gaess: Lulu needs to die in a painful and humiliating fashion. in this case he did manage to get me to drop the anime.

honestly i usually have the opposite problem, love the characters but hate the show.

I predicted everything Tenma was going to do. EVERYTHING. That got really boring by about 20 episodes. Oh Doktor Tenma, you are a nice guy. End of the anime. Still a nice guy. Did Tenma change throughout the show? No. Same old boring nice-guy Tenma.

And the reveal for why Johan became the "monster" made me facepalm pretty hard. I mean come on. I'd have rather had a simple natural-born psychopath explanation.

If you have a seriously impressive storyline, you MIGHT just be able to pull off a bevy of craptastic characters.

What, were you expecting Tenma to turn into an asshole or something? No, because that's not the kind of person he is. He was a nice guy, and there was no need for him to change. I don't know why you found him boring, but since you did, there's nothing I can do about it. I found him to be a great lead, who entertaining and awesome to watch.
Believe it or not, he went through some significant changes, mostly psychological, and he acted more human than most characters I've seen in anime, which is one of the main reasons why I appreciate Monster so much.

As for Johan,

I can't pick one particular, but I HATE bitchy, pussy characters (male and female) and immature teachers. Shiryou is one that's been mentioned, Rin in the first half of Shuffle! and all the girls minus Asa, Rie Kugumiya tsunderes get under my skin at times, Ms. Shikijo from Mahoromatic, Vash could be too pussy at times, and I'll stick with those right now.

Well, there's a lot:

Death Note:
I wasn't watching it for L, as many of people above. Both Light and L got on my nerves a lot - Light was behaving like a paranoid maniac and L was a sugar fetishist. Main reasons to watch DN were Ryuk, Matsuda and the story.

Toradora:
Three words: Takasu, Taiga, Minori.
Heck, I don't even know why I liked the whole series!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai:
Hanyuu - for obvious reasons - and Rika, with that her "we can defeat fate"/"we cannot defeat fate". First season Rika was much better (anyone remembers the beginning of s01ep05?)

xxxHolic:
Watanuki with his unexplainable nervous behaviour, especially when Doumeki and/or Himawari were around. However, I didn't mind his anger when he was with Yuuko or Mokona. The latter two probably deserved it ;)

Shirou from Fate Stay Night, I didn't like his personality at all and his overprotectiveness of Saber. It got under my skin.. -.-

Yuki from Vampire Knight.. I know she can't help being vunerable weak and confused but still, it's annoying.

Let's see... Most of them are weak Mary-Sues or stupid harem leads desu.

I adore Blood+, but I dislike Saya, and I'm not a fan of Haji. I worship Kai, though, and this anime has some of the greatest supporting characters ever seen.

Elfen Lied. Love the anime, hate Kouta, and prefer Nana to Lucy.

Vampire Knight. Detest Yuuki, hate Kaname, love Zero.

D.Gray-Man. Love the series, hate Lenalee with a passion.

I enjoy Bleach, but hate Orihime to the core.

Higurashi Kai: obviously loved the anime, but couldn't stand Hanyuu.

Death Note: Creator of the Anti-Misa club right here. Still, one of the best anime/manga ever created.

In Romeo x Juliet, while I loved the anime, I didn't really like the 2 protagonists, but there were many good supporting characters, so it's ok.

Samurai 7: really liked the anime, but Kirara was such an useless character.

About Fate Stay Night, which was fine for me, I hate, hate, HATE Shirou, and I'm not a fan of Saber. Luckily there were Rin & Archer desu.

I love Evangelion, but Shinji is far from being one of my favorite characters. Same with Asuka. I love Rei and Kaworu to death, though.

I love Escaflowne as well, but Hitomi really got on my nerves sometimes, and I was constantly hoping that Allen would die.

Nana: adore this series, but dislike Hachi.

Paradise Kiss: can't stand George.

Eureka Seven: I'm quite indifferent towards Renton & Eureka, while I adore Dominic & Anemone.

Last Exile. Claus and Lavie were meh, Dio and Alex were gorgeous.

School Rumble: Not a big fan of Tenma and Karasuma. Love, love, love almost every other character.

Inuyasha: I like the manga/anime, but I'm not a fan neither of Kagome and Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku are way better, not to mention the god Sesshomaru-sama and the goddess Kagura.

Nabari No Ou: My hate for Yoite is beyond words, and I liked Miharu at the beginning, but then he sucked.

Ayashi No Ceres: I despise this manga/anime almost as much as I hate Aya and Toya. I like Yuuhi and Kagami, though.

Then we have mediocre anime such as Chaos Head that become shitty with a main character like Takumi (not that the other characters were good).

Naruto is quite unbearable for me also (if not mostly) because of Naruto Uzumaki, and I don't like Sasuke and Sakura either.

Same with One Piece, I got sick of this anime also because of Luffy, oh lord, I hate him.

Tomonori Iwaki from Rizelmine. I don't like him. He's an annoying ass. I would have dropped the series because of him but I kept on watching it because of Rizel.

Itou Makoto from School Days. I'm sure you guys know why if you've seen the anime. As much as I loved the series, he was just an ass in the anime.

Naruto has several characters that I hate (Sakura, Ino, Sai) but luckily Naruto has couple of very good characters too (Kakashi, Orochimaru). Same with Bleach. I hate orihime, Nel and Ishida with passion but then again example Kenpachi and Ikkaku are so badass characters. Macross Frontier is probably expection. I almost hated all main characters (especially Ranka) but I still kind of liked that anime. Weird indeed.
