If the main character is detestable or unlikeable, then it would be impossible to like an anime. It is that simple.

Gundam seed, even though Kira had potential (it was wasted), the most interesting things to happen happened to other characters, the show wasn't great but Flay and Athrun made it entertaining (Cagalli too, sometimes)

While my opinions have since changed on the character I think this is funny enough to share:
I actually really disliked Joseph Joestar the first time I watched Jojo Part 2 as a teenager cuz I thought he was an asshole, and even though I loved Part 2 he was the weakest part for me back then. Now as an adult I find him funny as fuck and I think that is because I didn't really understand him until I got to Part 3

Maybe Jashin-chan Dropkick?

I don't mind Yurine & Poporon, but I don't care much about the rest.
And the other seasons add more & more characters I don't care about, except Miku❤️

It's just overkill with the amount of characters though.

Specifically original Hunter x Hunter? I didn't generally care much for Gon but the original Hunter x Hunter was really good for me. I didn't like Hunter x Hunter 2011 because of how much I felt the Chimera Ant arc sucked and didn't care for Gon there at all either so I'll just count the original in this circumstance. It's a shame since Togashi also created Yusuke Urameshi and he's one of my favorite Jump protagonists out there and Yu Yu Hakusho is really damn good.

None. The main character is the single most important character in any series, not just anime. If your protagonist sucks, then into the trash it goes.

akkun to kanojo

He really shits up the anime. Every other character is likable.
