Idk, im bored right now and I was just wondering which animes have better side characters
imo
- Hunter x Hunter (Killua)
- Akame ga Kill (Lubbock)
- Attack on Titan (Levi)
- Soul Eater (Death, The Kid)
- Kinda controversial Fire Force (Arthur)
the only ones i can think off the top of my head

Yeah i was thinking that when i was typing however I would consider Killua more of the "main side character" if that makes sense

I like Hiei just as much as I like Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho. I like Bakugo from MHA. I can't say that I like his personality. But his abilites are pretty cool. The Taurus Saint, Aldebaran, is one of my favorite Saints from Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas.

I don't wanna start an argument, so if you think of him as "main side character", then I guess it's fine.

Minami-ke - The show became much more fun when it started to become more eventful.

Monster - Tenma was a good protagonist, but Grimmer and his story in the series is a highlight for me. I also thought Lunge was really interesting

Death Parade
I found Ginti and pretty much everyone else in the supporting cast a lot more interesting than Decim and Onna.
Not that I didn't find them interesting, but I genuinely found that 1 episode just focussed on Ginti much more interesting than the rest of the series. Or the episode where the flowerhead guy and Nona play 8ball, that was also very interesting.

11 eyes and Durarara. You so hated the leads...but everyone ELSE was very interesting...or likable.

Kami-sama Ni Natta Hi- I liked the antagonist WAAAAAAAAY more. xD especially after his Heel Face Turn.

Jujutsu Kaisen- I like Megumi a lot more than Yuuji

Shakugan No Shana- again, everyone's more likable than Yuuji (another one xD)

BNHA- I like Todoroki more than Deku. I don't hate Deku though.

The first ones that came to my mind were:

Detective Conan - Heiji Hattori over Shinichi (both aren't the greatest but I like Heiji more) and Kid over both of them (but since kid has his own show and is therefore a MC he kinda doesn't count)

Naruto - Itachi Uchia over 70% of the whole Naruto cast

Rent-a-Girlfriend - literally everyone over Kazuya

ReZero might not be the first but it is by far the one that sticks with me I dont recall others nearly as vividly.

I dont like Subaru but I do like several of the other characters they are how I got through watching it.

In FMAB, I liked Roy Mustang more than Ed and Al. I mean, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric are great characters too but I liked Roy more than them.

Code Geass Lelouch isn't all THAT great compared to the supporting cast

Kuroshitsuji I find Lizzy, Soma, and the servants more interesting than Ciel and Sebastian

I expect a lot of people to say this about Platinum End once it airs. My favorite character is Yuri Temari, a female with 0 favorites. I've seen people claim that Tsugumi Ohba can't write females, but I don't believe the males are any better.
