Hi, like the title says, please recommend me an anime where the side character is awesome and overshadows the mc.

Edit: Please don't forget to mention the side character's name.

Try To-Love Ru. It's a really good series, even though I've only watched the first season for it.

Daryun from Arslan Senki is pretty badass.

Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki if you're into Yandere. The MC is (relatively) incapable in comparison.

Victorique from Gosick

Mumei from Koutetsujou no Kabaneri

Honorable mentions that don't quite fit the criteria:
Full Metal Panic!
Shingeki no Kyojin
Aoharu x Kikanjuu

Tried to find stuff that wasn't on your list. Hopefully this helped!

!


Yuno is also main character. She might have more screen time than Yuki.


Fair point; nonetheless a good watch.

In a good way, most of the side characters from Bakemonogatari, really. Not to say the protagonist is in any way bad, though.

In a bad way, most of the side characters from Re:Creators

I know you said to give names, but I really do mean damn near all of them.

I would say Sound! Euphonium, but the character writing in that is pretty equally good all around the board, with a few exceptions. Though I would still say the other characters "overshadow" Kumiko's development, not in the sense that they're better, but in the sense that her development happens more slowly and subtly.

Edit: To be more specific, Reina, Asuka and Taki whenever the focus is shifted to them.
