| Characters like Yuu from Charlotte or Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. All the time I see people like "OMG Kaneki is sooo kewl" but I really don't see what there is to like. |

| Yuu's not edgy Kaneki's a wimp |

| because deep inside them, they want express their self without any social judgement and thinking unique is good. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Because everyone wants to be like the cool and dark protagonist that had a shitty life but keeps up with it because everything is going to be daijoubu. Most shows though fail when making those characters so people with little more brains call them edgy. |

| Yuu is a drama queen not edgy. And Kaneki is a badass (not sasaki, he's a wimp) |
 |
| Edgy isn't a bad thing. It's just when edge is the totality of a character's personality that things can get redundant. See: Ichise from Texhnolyze |
 |
| It's more "mature" that way. |
 |
| Just like Emiya Kiritsugu. Nothing likable from him but somehow many like him. |
| Guts is the one and only most likable edgy character. |

| Because some people want to be like them. Being a respectable individual is the much better choice. |

Edgy characters might be not likeable as people, but "fun" as characters. Also, people are screwed up, and can get to like all sorts of characters. For example, I like Gasai Yuuno - the complete opposite of nice. |

| Because no matter how good or bad a character is they are still gold compared to the crap that is Yuuki Rito. |

| sorry for my bad English |
| People like Kaneki because that dude is well written and got more development than any character in your fav anime list. |

| Why do people overuse the word edgy, and what's more, why is everything edgy nowadays? It seems to me like people calling others edgy are just insecure, or they want to pass off a ''mature'' vibe, something along those lines. |

It seems to me like people calling others edgy are just insecure, or they want to pass off a ''mature'' vibe, something along those lines. firstly you are trying way to hard at being a critic with your "why does everyone do that, like i dont do that since i am so different from the rest of society" thats pretty edgy btw secondly everything that is trying to show the darkness of the human heart is edgy and popular series do that as well like GoT and Mr Robot.The question is just is it good or is it overblown. |
| That's why people watch anime, they won't watch it if they want mature stuff |
| It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on. |

Yuu is awful as a character ImO. I pretty chain facepalmed during the 7th episode, that was hard to watch due to how badly the drama was done and how uninteresting Yuu's teenager angst was... >_< |

| Bcoz edgy characters ar knives |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| I personally don´t get the appeal of edgy characters.Like I´m quite a few episodes into hunter x hunter and it’s extremely apparent to me that Killua is a fan favorite but I don’t like him that much(personal preference pls don’t attack me).I know he’s a well developed character but his character type never appealed to me too much. |
 |
| Didn't know that people liked me :-D to tell the truth, it depends of a person's age, cultural education and life experience. Viewers lacking one of these three properties will appreciate edgy, boring, dull, conventional, angsty and extremely controversial recurrent characters. |
