Which Character Archetype annoys you in anime?

There are certain character archetypes that are widespread in romance/harem anime.
Most (if not all) of them are usually in love with main guy.

The following are archetypes I can think of:

1- Tsundere : Angry, violent, usually has red hair and often the main girl

2- Childhood Friend : Usually friend-zoned, Almost never wins

3- Athletic Girl : Short hair, Tomboy, Overactive, Loud

4- Highschool Senior : Usually Student Council President, Calm, Composed, Graceful

5- Loli : Obsessed with her small boobs, Often too young

6- Younger Sister : A sister who loves her Onii-Chan VERY much

7- Clumsy Airhead : Has huge boobs, Only reason for existence is jiggle physics


I like Tsundere (especially if done right)

But really hate the Loli & Little sister as love-interest

Please give reasons for your choice if possible

EDIT: Some people are asking why I didn't add the bland, generic beta MC. Its because that would have been the most obvious choice for almost everyone. So I decided to exclude the MC from this poll. So in that case please vote your 2nd most hated character type

I really loathe that imouto bullshit. Tsukasa Fushimi is a pretty disgusting guy if you ask me.

The worst kind of character is the one that is to afraid of talking or don't have iq enough to do so. So they are going around and suffering.

And when they got the balls to talk it is already over and 10 years have pasted.

Romance anime in a nut shell.

Yeah agreed. I also don't understand this obsession of anime with little sisters

Yeah so true. Most romance anime keep pussyfooting and don't get to the point, leaving things unresolved

Other: the retarded girl. That girl who is in her 14-20s but still speaks, sounds and behaves as she was 6, has no single clue where the hell she is standing and think the whole world is pink coloured.

What annoys me is the whole idea of interpreting characters as archetypes and then stopping and looking no further, actually.

kuudere, especially if they are men.

usually i'm pretty good about ignoring all the archetypes, letting them trick me into thinking they are natural, and have good reasoning behind their personalities, but kuuderes are really hard to do this with.

it's sometimes passable if they are robots, but even the robots sometimes feel like it's just lazily written.

Well fuck I misread the thread nvm >_> Was sitting there wondering "Is everybody really responding to this thread with stuff they hate." Oh well, guess I'm a dumbass.

Hmmm, kuudere or dandere, probably, but I wouldn't say I hate them. Of the listed ones, high school senior would be my least favorite.

Same, but usually it feels like it's people who dislike the archetypes that do this more than anybody to me ._.

I think "dense male MC" should be amongst the options, and not just as "other". They are too common and too annoying to be ignored in this poll.

Either childhood friends or athletic girls.

Childhood friends are usually too shy to be even taken seriously and if you add to it typical beta anime protagonist it just become unbearable

Athletic girls are on completely other end of the spectrum and are so hyper that just looking at them is tiring.

I was going to put Dense, bland MC in the poll.
But then 100% of the people would have voted for the dense MC.

i think dense, bland MC is just another version of the male kuudere everyone hates that's so obviously just lazy writing to everyone.
sure he might show more emotion than his counterpart, they just don't go oh so far out of their way to present an archetype to make the audience think they were going for something in particular...which still eludes me to this day.

blank slates are dumb and don't make sense. it's not natural. it's a machination of a machination, completely redundant and useless. a machination always has the personality of its creator embedded.

The ones i Hate the most are lolis and shy childhood friends

1- Tsundere : I hate when MC fears them and is easely beaten

2- Childhood Friend : I just hate thet they never say anything like Ichigo also when they don't give up after being rejected many times

4- Highschool Senior : Hate when suddently becomes a Tsundere

5- Loli : They are anoying, and too Small, hete when they are the childhood friend

6- Younger Sister : If she were not a loli and not a relative i would be interested otherwise it's sick

Aww...no 'generic male degenerate' option to choose? I'll have to go with underaged, obsessed with her generic sorry excuse of the protagonist 'brother', thot or boobs-for-head airhead (usually blonde).

After consideration, the filthy blonde wins the "you're pathetic" trophy...Right after the inofficial generic mc.

but I like athletic girls and childhood friends, they tend to be sweet (and not creepy)

i love tsunderes. they remind me of my middleschool and highschool days. puberty is a funny time to live. imho it's the perfect depiction of a young student. 100% of my middleschool was tsundere. they will never get old. fcking love the idea of cooties. so damned funny.
ranma 1/2 will always be one of my favorites of all time. tsunderes for lyf

I dislike the whole loli and little sister stuff. The clumsy airhead can get annoying but not disgusting like the other two I previously mentioned.

All of them can be annoying tbh
Depends on the story

I don't find anime character annoying based only on archtype. It's based on how they get involved in the story.

Tsundere annoys me most of the time. Not always though.

And they seem to almost always beat every other girl in romance.
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.

Tsundere ofc.

Why can they get away for all the bad temper, bad habit, hitting males even though it is usually her own damn fault just because she looks pretty?

You can add flustered innocent wifu in there as well.

Tsunderes. There are a lot that are done right, but also a lot done wrong. I mostly have mixed feelings when it comes to them.

Lolis and Imoutos are cancerous pandering to the Pedo/incest crowd.

Violent Tsunderes should given a taste of their own medicine.

Emotionless archetypes. And no, I don't think I can consider them as kuudere. But seriously Ayanami Rei clones are just nuisances too me.

no they are just boys and girls going through puberty that are slowly coming out of the cootie phase, where girls think boys are gross, and boys think girls have cooties. like something about a girl that just makes a boy not a boy right? they have cooties, ew. lol. the irony. this is why i love tsunderes. they are in real life, they are everywhere. you still in school? you bet your ass, you are probably a tsundere.
