You would remove the only good thing from that show?
I see her as the only bad thing about the show. Well major problem at least
I could remove other things but that has nothing to do with the characters

The harem keikaku is the biggest shenanigan I've seen in anime so far, so don't get me wrong. I think it's cringy af. But Momo is obviously the best girl, and should not be removed imo.
Well I hate the whole story to be honest, they should have only stuck with fanservice without trying to build a plot.

Sasuke from naruto, because he annoys me, and i believe the the story would be better without him and i think he is pointless.


Then what about Naruto's constant punch-line "I'll became the Hokage and bring back Sasuke!" Besides it would be epic if Sasuke will be the MC(and the story will revolve around him rather than Naruto)... And of course the title would be Sasuke: The Avenger


How about no? This is my opinion that is yours.

probably yumoto from earth defense club. i'm usually a sucker for cute characters but they tried too hard to make him cute so now he's intolerable.
also that execution girl from mayoiga, lovepon. i couldn't even watch the anime for laughs because i wanted to die every time she opened her mouth

edit: oops how could i forget about "nico nico niii~", the reason why i dont like the original love live

Definitely Eren from SnK...he annoyed me to no end and I just think the series would've been better with someone other than him as the protagonist. Ofc I am an anime only so I don't know if he's developed or changed any but from the content I have seen, I just can't route for him. He's loud, abrasive and just overall unlikable because of his lack of personality.

He just wants to kill Titans, that's it...I mean I get the revenge thing, but that is his only defining character trait. Sure, have a motive, but don't let that your protagonist become their motive.

No I mean more interesting, if I meant fappable able I would have said that. Rei's in a situation where her whole world has been created by commander Ikari, she doesn't start acting human until another person, Shinji, reaches out to her and her transition from robot-like to human is one of my favorite parts of the show, it's the same reason I love Pino from Ergo Proxy. Asuka, unlike most characters of her type, has a reason to act that way. She's a prodigy and has to deal with people who she can reasonably see as inferior. It takes a long time for we to accept that other people can be part of her team and that she doesn't have to do everything on her own is also one of my favorite parts of the show. Shinji is the poster child for depression, I don't mind depressed characters or "pussy" MCs, I loved Tsukimoto, Satou, Simone, Shinji's problem isn't that he's depressed, it's that it's his entire personality and the way they go about showing that he's depressed is obnoxious. I feel like the authors beating me over the head with how worthless and depressed he is, and instead of giving him real character development in the end, we get those last two episodes (and yes, I know Anno ran out of money) and EoE where his "character development" takes place inside his head in a series of nonsensical fever dreams.


You make it seem like the whole series is showing shinji being worthless depressed and you forget that 2/3 of the series is him trying get over him emotional problems and interacting more with others.Sure in the end he always end up retorning back to his old self but the situaons on which that happens are completely understable and his reactions are not obnoxious or overexageradated in any way
And the way they show he is depressed is brilliant both his failures whem trying to run away show how incapable of actually commiting to any decision he try to make because of how insecure and in need of constant emotional support he actually .his constant being seeing on trains and listeming to the same music shows how he constantely runs away from his problems through repetitive behaivor.The way he become such a person with such inferioty complex and being that depedent on other for his own self esteem is also perfectely explained both his father and his mother abandoned him when he was young leaving him with a teacher that barely cared about him.Shinji spent his entire childhood alone having to live with such a trauma is mostly what leads him to be this depressed insecure teenager
This is a very good explanation, especially his repetitive behavior. I still find him to be very annoying in a lot of the show, but that's mostly how it's presented, repeated internal monologues, shouting and crying, but it's mostly the end, particularly the last two episodes and EoE.

It'd have to be Yoko from Gurren Lagann.
I'm imaging it's a rare opinion, but she is probably my least favorite character of all time.

yo you're super right
that would be a 10/10 show easy

Would you really enjoy the show? Because you'll have an OP Saber with Excalibur. Nothing would stop Rin from winning any battles. That sounds bland. it wouldn't be enjoyable one bit.

that's fine, i don't care if every single fight scene is big laser sword > dead because rin is a good character when she's not playing tsundere onahole to dumbass shirou and his "I WANT TO BE A HERO SO I'M GOING TO SACRIFICE MYSELF TO SAVE SABER EVEN THOUGH SABER WILL DIE IF I DIE LOL"
plus rin and saber winning every battle would be better than shirou losing every battle then having rin and saber save him anyway

or they could even do the heaven's feel storyline and have saber become edgy dark saber and have rin slap her shit

Menma (or, more specifically, Menma's ghost) from Anohana
I would have rathered watch an anime about friends reconnecting after the tragedy in their own natural way, instead of a ghost/spirit randomly appearing. The whole idea of that was frustrating to me


But see, Menma is essential to the plot because Jintan needed a reason to think of her again.

The show could not work without Menma's ghost. She brought everyone together again.

I rather remove Sakura for being pointless, but its personal choice I guess.

I'd remove Akane from Psycho-Pass. Found her to be a very boring character overall, which made me drop the anime.

She is just there to add random women to a harem that would not work in all honesty

Shiro should be removed from fate/kaleid. It is right now just a harem with Shiro rarely shown in the anime.

Suzaku.

Most rage inducing character ever. Or any lawful stupid character- Saber from Fate, etc.
How to fix the review section, detailed here

The average reader (HS level) reads at about 200 WPM. So a 500-800 word review should take 3-5 minutes to read. That's an acceptable length for something you're interested in spending 25 minutes to 4.5 hours of your life watching.

Oh, and ANN requires any and all reviews to be 800-1200 words, no matter the length of the show.

Yeah, pretty much ALL bishounen would look like girls if they had long hair. XD Kirito isn't special. But there are far more girlier guys than him....like, actual traps.

What I said still stands; I would have rathered it have been about the friends reconnecting in a different way, regardless of whether or not it had to do with Menma. All the characters live in the same city, so it's not impossible for them to have reconnected without Menma being there.


But..........the reason they got disconnected was ALSO because of Menma. I'm telling you, the story centers around her. If you removed her, what would have caused them to distance from each other? Nothing. Even though everyone lives close by, they totally ignored each other and would have done so probably forever if her ghost didn't return. How else could they possibly forgive one another and reconnect "in a different way"?

one punch man still manages to have drama and emotional moments even though saitama can kill anyone in one punch. it's a hugely popular and successful series.

plus it's better to have an OP main character than a beta idiot loser

Remove Natsu from Fairy Tail and make Lucy the main character, and PUF! You just fixed 50% of the work.

Also, Dekomori from Chuunibyou, 'cause she's one of the most annoying and useless characters I've ever seen. One of the only bad things in that show.

Also², erase Pegasus' storyline from Oyasumi Punpun and the manga is an absolute 10/10.

Easy one, Sakura from Naruto. Never liked her, never will.
