There's a discussion about characters you love that everyone else hates, who's a character you hate but everyone else loves?


Guess I'll go first, Gurren Lagaan's Nia. I really hated her character when I first saw the show as a kid and as an adult I feel the same way *and* hate how creepy everyone is about her.

***EDIT***
I'm surprised at some of the common names popping up! These are some of the more common ones that I have seen majority anime community loved coming up here:

Light Yagami from Death Note,
Kamina from Gurren Lagann,
Rem and subaru from re0,
Levi from AOT,
Naruto,
Luffy,
and Lelouch from Code Geass

Characters that were once so loved definitely have their haters! Let's keep this going and see who else keeps popping up! *bond over your hatred*

1. Lelouch the Zero effort world saviour - His design look ugly and his intelligence feels very inconsistent , sometimes his decision annoyed me. Overall he sucks.

2. Levi Edgyman - Everyone know him , i don't need to say anything.

3. Luffy - I just can't endure this man.


4. Johan the Joker - People call him best villain of all time , but we never seen him doing those villainous things. Most of his actions are plot convenience. They call him master of manipulation like Joker from DC lmao ,but that man fucking manipulate 12 year kids lmao , a drunk old man and some pathetic villagers. Bruh, i can't take this seriously.

He may be a well written character ,but not well written villain.

All of them are overrated af.

@Red543322 I tried to explain why I don't like him. Im not saying his character is bad , it's just i don't like him as villain.

Haha I think I can understand not liking Lelouch, and honestly imo Luffy is way over rated. I was reading the manga and one of the last chapters I read he all of a sudden (with Zoro) decided fighting was not the answer and took a beating from these dudes in a bar, and it was just so.... fing stupid. What were these character's personalities? Anyways hungry hyper boy just isn't my thing.

L Lawliet. One-dimensional character that doesn’t get any development.
Levi (SnK). He’s a badass. That’s it.
Makise, Kurisu. Basic tsundere with no personality.
Uzamaki, Naruto. Annoying one-dimensional brat. I absolutely despise him.
Rem (ReZero). Does nothing but act cute.

Asuka is soooo angees. And people excusing her behavior as "she's a kid trying to figure out her feelings" I don't know, I don't like characters who like to use violence to show how they're feeling (I don't like tsunderes in general) but eh, guess it's a personal opinion sorta thing.

Rem had some personality before they decided to trade it in for waifu mode.... Actually she becomes a lot like Nia was in Gurren Lagann, with more world knowledge.

I think he's an interesting character. .... Also L too. I think I enjoyed their characters more when I was younger than I do now though. P:

Probably Haruhi Suzumiya? It's kind of amazing how a god can be so insignificant in their own story, on top of just being an annoyance.

I was also shocked to find out some people like Zenitsu. They are mad people, or already had their own brats and became immune to loud screaming.

Kamina from TTGL, I never really understood why people love him so much, most of his dialogue is generic motivational speeches and his attitude in general was obnoxious.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

ahaha wow. I liked him as a kid, I think he's a super silly character and clearly doesn't have all the answers. I like throwing out "Believe in the me that believes in you" to people because I found the line so funny, and very typical of the kind of dialogue that he would spit out.
I found the story compelling, and I liked Kamina for his energy, but I liked the story more for having consequences to his lack of inaction because 'believing in someone' doesn't mean you should be an idiot. I with the show had continued to always be that consistent but you know, ups and downs.

Easy answer: kamina from Gurren Lagaan. Couldn't bear him at all in the episodes he was in.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

@light_straight From 9th episode TTGL was watchable for me . Every episode before that was a painful experience with Kamina on screen.

Erwin Smith from SnK/AoT. I don't understand why so many people like him. He made a lot of reckless decisions that caused so many innocent people to die. He barely seems to have any emotions. He has some good points but the bad ones outweigh them imo.

I looovee relating to my hypocritical, no self-worth, cynical, self harming teen sooo much. I loved it when the series rewarded him by fucking him up.

A lot of teenage viewers of the series, misinterpret and hail him as some relatable god = That has to be the reason why he is loved ofcourse right..

Sorry to say, you got baited by those fans. That ain't the reason. Agree with Ayanokouji though lul

I was looking up his character to see what kinda edgy he was and the description they gave made it sound like he deals with a lot of depression and recognizing his self worth more than anything. Though I don't think sacrificing yourself is healthy, doesn't mean he's a bad character. what's your take?

I'll just tell you how it is. Since weebs don't tend to think, and just dickride popular internet theories - Naruto is apparently a "protagonist who is ultra super nice, and wants to solve everything with friendship and happiness, who wants to become president of the country"

Reality - Just a kid who wanted family. A hated, discriminated, alienated, depressed orphan who has been treated like that by the people in his village, since his birth. Without any answers as to why he is treated like it. The reasoning is complicated to explain.

Also people wanted to assassinate him too, but for THAT, he had protection.

Being a attention starved child since his birth, without any parents or anyone to teach him anything really. He wasn't really knowledgable about stuff. He used to pull pranks to gain some kind of attention, negative as it is. To a child like him, that was enough.

He wanted to kill himself multiple times obviously, a kid can't handle that. But he could adjust since there was atleast one or two people who would give him some care, rarely as it is. But it was enough for the kid.

He also hated the people who treated him like that, but never tried anything. He had morals to follow.

Ofcourse, the people just hated him even more. Masquerading himself in bright coloured clothes, and becoming a loudmouthed haopy kid, so even more attention would be given to him. Coping, behind a mask of happiness.

He also couldn't buy or go into any establishments because poeple wouldn't let him.

Which led to him being malnourished because he only got to eat one type of food item. From the only person who allowed him into their shop.

Eventually it would lead to him going back to his home, which he got at the age of 5. Where he lived alone. He had expenses to survive barely. So financially he was average.

The kid then wanted to become the biggest figuregead of the village, since that would mean people would be forced to acknowledge him and respect him atleast. Maybe a family too..? The child made his mind up.

And you know, this shit continued on for the first 16 yrs of his life. The kid grew up, he gained responsibilities, his reasons for becoming the figurehead changed. He became smarter and more mature, while still being the simple person he is. Lost the shouting and the kid stuff.

For being the friendship guy, he had only ever tried to be friends with two people, who were similar to him in situations. No one else.

He also got over his self hatred he had for himself for existing, and for the others... yada yada

"Shittiest annoying shonen protagonist"

People love to hate on characters who went through hell I guess? Or maybe because it's "Naruto", the memed weeb community friendship shonen dude. Classic weebs

He's a cynical, hypocritical, narcissistic, edgy, self-sacrificing person. He wants to change, but can't bring himself to anymore.

He's like this because of a lot of reason, he doesn't really want to harm anyone or is bad. He's basically just coping by acting cyncial and edgy. He has issues.

The anime doesn't really do justice to the series or the characters, bad adaptation. So reading the LN is best if you wanna know. This series is a deconstruction of anime tropes, so everyone starts with off tropes and get broken down as volumes go on.
