What? Do you mean there are characters that are not disliked? Whatever character you, me and everyone else likes receive hate.

I love Sasuke Uchiha. He has been one of my ultimate favorite characters since I was 10.

I also love Yozora Mikazuki from Haganai. I'd say she's the only really likeable character in that show, yet it seems the popular opinion is the complete opposite of my own.

Yumiko Miura from Oregairu. At first she appears to be a stuck-up person, but her characters develops somewhere in the 2nd season and turns out that she's nice to Yui. She's not best friends with Yui but she can be trusted. She has nice hair too. People see her as a bitch, but the true bitch of the series is Minami. I'm glad they made her a background character than a supporting one. Yumiko is more respectable than Minami.


You have good taste. Miura is cool..

Personality-wise I just like her. I don't like the Yandere crap though.

Hmm... Well it's hard to reply 'cause I don't exactly know who's disliked but from the previous replies, I'd say Setsuna from School Days. I honestly didn't even know she was hated 'till I came here. She really just wanted to do what she could for Sekai. I also felt kinda bad for her when... you know... that...

Also Sakura and Shinji from the Fate series. I guess I can understand why they're hated, Shinji especially, but for some reason I can't bring myself to hate them.

There's also Kyuube/Kyuubey/etc. While I don't approve of his actions, I don't exactly hate him.

Off the top of my head, Flay from SEED just because she was so hated. Yet I felt it was a reasonable portrayal of a character given her upbringing and how she ended up getting caught in a war environment she was obviously unequipped to handle.

Yukiteru from Mirai Nikki.

I mean, sure, he is such a crybaby and cringey practically for the whole series, but you can't deny that he represent at least 80% of humankind if they were suddenly thrown into the same situation. When I think about that, I just can't dislike him.

I don't hate Kirito because being a Gary Stu
I hate him because he doesn't die when he is killed.

Most "nice girls" that are in love triangles with tsunderes, like say Kosaki Onodera: In the other hand being tsundere doesn't make you instantly awesome, and going from treating the guy like ass to treating him normal doesn't make you more worthy than the girl who has been treating him nice the whole time.

Rito Yuuki: And other "nice guy" harem leads, but since Rito gets 99% of the hate such leads get he gets to name this. Believe it or not treating women like people and NOT like warm bodies to bang is the good, likable attitude. Maybe once you get past teen years you'll realize. The worst part with Rito is when the series makes him behave OoC into some unlikable abusive asshole dubbed "Rapisto" by no one and the fanbase cheers because, hey, he's treating women like trash! How cool! Ugh.



I would most certainly agree with you on those parts. When it comes the whole love triangle part, I wouldn't root for the tsundere because I don't their antics to be funny or charming, I find them aggravating. If I were to root for a particular couple, I would go for a couple that looks reasonable or at least looks like a healthy relationship like Naruto X Hinata. I feel that I could easily imagine an abusive relationship with the male lead X tsundere couple. Whether any of these characters get any character development is a different story. My best guess to why they root for the tsundere is because they've always wanted a strong female character.

For the whole "nice guy" harem lead, I find their hatred for those male lead to be irrational. I have to say that these guys perpetuate the "A man is always eager to have sex" mentality. This mentality is proven to be more harmful towards men than beneficial because there are people who still believe that it's impossible for a man to be raped, all men are rapist, and that saying no to sex means you're gay. I'm not saying that we should stop enjoying ecchi/harem series but we shouldn't preach about how every male lead should be characterized.

There are a lot of anime characters that seem to get a lot of hate, however, even these characters have some fans. Which of these characters do you tolerate (or even like)? (please provide reasons why you don't mind these characters)

For example (these are somewhat disliked characters that I tolerate or like):

Kirito/Kazuto Kirigaya (Sword Art Online): Kirito gets a lot of hate for being a self-insert and OP, but I didn't think of him being a self-insert and he's OP for good reason (most anime end when the protagonist dies).

Setsuna Kiyoura (School Days): While it could be argued that what Setsuna was doing is wrong, she at least had good intentions (more or less).

I'm looking forward to the replies...



The big one for me is Kirito. Other than him being op which is a trope and people need to get over that some people like it and the generic/self insert argument theres nothing wrong with him. If you actually hate him cool but alot of people just hate him/act like they do because it's the cool thing to hate on anything to do with SAO.

That's just because SAO is literally top couple most popular anime of all time on MAL.I think it's at #2 and he's the complete and total mc and main with no others really near him in the anime aside from Asuna if you wanna count her. He's the total focus of an extremely popular anime so being #9 isn't impressive at all.

He's easily the most hated on commonly though on Mal simply because of being in SAO and being op.

I don't have a huge attachment to him, but calling Kirito a Gary Stu is a clear sign that you don't know what a Gary Stu is. I thin he's an okay protagonist. A bit boring in comparison to some of the other characters but you could do a lot worse

As for the question probably Suguha from SAO. Didn't like her the first time I watched the series but she won me over when I re-watched the show.

While I am glad that Asuna got a chance to redeem herself in Mother's Rosario I wouldn't mind if Leafa got the spotlight again. Cassandra Lee Morris (Leafa's English VA) has mentioned that she'd like it if Leafa got a proper love interest (One who isn't... you know) and come to think of it I don't think it would be that bad of an idea. I haven't read any of the LNs post Mother's Rosario, but she hasn't done a whole lot since ALO as far as I know.

Matou Kariya (Fate/Zero): He a Mr. Nice Guy who possessed by evil. Normally, I hate every Mr. Nice Guy anime character but Kariya is an exception. His intention is noble but he forced to fight (by his own father and his love to Tohsaka Aoi) 'till die in disgrace by hurting (and almost killing) the one he loved, Tohsaka Aoi and failed to save Tohsaka Sakura (sadly to said, Sakura never want to be saved by him). I like how his noble intention led him to his own death.

My most loved Character would be Kururugi Suzaku from Code Geass. I was so shocked when I found out that many people hate him. I can't understand that because I think he is a great character and relatable.

I like generally disliked characters most of the times. Other examples would be Alois from Black Butler or Armin from Shingeki no Kyojin. At least many people I know hate both of them from the bottom of their hearts but for me they are interesting and I love them :D

It's because SAO has incomprehensible fight scenes that have the bare minimum of sensory overload and animation fluidity to brainwash the young and the unthinking into believing that what they're watching must be good.

But it's not; it's trash.

One character I like that a lot of others seem to hate is Sakura, from Naruto. I don't see people's problem, really. She gets a lot of growth and has some real... personality (lol). And maybe she doesn't have as tragic a backstory as some other characters, but she has the most relatable one in my opinion.

(Also, I didn't read much of the thread - it's too long! So if someone's already said Sakura, sorry :P)

I didn't really like it either, but once again, anime is a highly subjective genre with a lot of clashing opinion. Other people have different interests and interpretations, so even if someone hates SAO, there'll be someone else who loves it. The same rule applies to almost all anime and all characters. Most characters have at least one fan, opinions may be highly polarized, but even the most unknown and minor series and characters will have one fan and one hater. Even the series that are universally considered to be 'shit' may have a few fans, even if they like it ironically or for all the 'wrong' reasons. That's what I've gathered overtime.

People's opinions are like assholes, really. Whether you like them or not, they're everywhere, and they reek.

Worry not. I was neither young, nor unthinking when I read and watched SAO, yet it was good.
But the book does the fight scenes better. Which is quite unusual for anime.

So many young and naive SAO haters here on MAL. Pretty much any MC doesn't die when he is killed. Alucard uses this as his standard tactic - he lets his opponents shoot him full of holes, regenerates, and kills them all while they can't believe what they see.
