Just browsing thru some shows I've watched and it occurred to me that my teen romantic comedy was a show I couldn't connect with but Hachiman was a really great character. I was thinking that his persona and psychological elements were not suited or perhaps too good for the high school setting "rom/com" that is my teen romantic comedy. I was thinking he would be a better character in something like psycho pass where it focuses a lot on psychological elements (what is "justice", how to handle conflicts). What characters do viewers of this topic think are "too good" for their respective show and where would you like to see them? |

Guren from Owari was a great character in an average anime. Though being the type of character he is, I can't see him in anything other than military-type shows, which is a shame. |

This is actually a difficult question since a lot of my liking of an anime depends on the characters. If the show itself is bad, then usually the characters are bad as well. I recently watched Fractale and i'm of the opinion that Nessa was the only good thing about it, but I wouldn't even put her in my expanded favorites. |

Laxus in Fairy Tail. They removed all of his unique character traits that he was initially introduced with just to fit the generic "fighting because you hurt my friends" bullshit that Fairy Tail keeps doing. A badass like that would not be saying dumb shit about fighting because of friendship, especially out loud. |

Probably the Monk from Inuyasha. He was a good multi faceted character when most of Inuyasha was very Average at best. |

Maiko in Nisekoi this dude don't deserve all the shit that's handed to him, he's legitimately the greatest bro of all time and should've been in some grim dark show where he dies valiantly |

Isla, from Plastic Memories. Her personality made you love her, but the supporting characters, I feel weren't on par. I think she could've done better in a high school action anime, I mean, she even pulled out a sword in one the of scenes. |

Naruto becuase i think he can go away for anything and he should be in onichichi imo |

Although I loved Senyuu for it's comedic plot, I think Ross would be a great character in an actual action/adventure series. He's got a good personality, back ground and isn't one of those I can lose 99x but win on the 100th cuz I'm MC (even though he is technically op) |

Sagai from Guilty Crown. Such a fabulous character in such a trainwreck. |

Akise from Mirai Nikki. That guy deserves to live, I could easily imagine him in a high school based anime where the characters would actually appreciate him. |

this is a really hard question for me, because even if I dislike the anime but love a character, I tend to go on reading the source material just for said character and the source material turns out to be amazing, and the amazingness of the character fits in perfectly, so it wouldn't do to shame the name of the source material. Accelerator from Toaru and Kumagawa from Medaka Box come to mind though, if we're just talking about their respective anime. (although Kumagawa barely got screentime in the anime) |

Orochimaru was too good for Naruto. A pretty well done villain in a mediocre show. |

It is sad to see some good bleach villains waste their shit in a so-so show. Looking at you Ulquiorra. |

Kirito. Kirito should've been an additional brother in Umaru (useless ottouto won't stahp playing SAO!), or future Kirito would've made a great addition to NHK ni Youkoso. |
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |

Also, although I don't hate the series, I think that Zeref from Fairy Tail is the best character of the entire series, to the point that I cannot believe that such dark figure like himis an actual character from Fairy Tail, eho is a very lighthearted shonen. |

Sinon from SAO She's a cool character, but doesn't fit in the SAO universe. |
Mar 7, 2016 2:43 AM

Even tho they fit perfectly in the storyline, gilgamesh and saber were 2 great characters in a shit anime called fate/stay night... Sinon from SAO 2, an above average character in a below average anime... And Kaneki in tokyo ghoul root A, i get it that its a sequel but he is a great character in shit anime (wish it'd get a proper remake) |

Jerkhov said: Maiko in Nisekoi this dude don't deserve all the shit that's handed to him, he's legitimately the greatest bro of all time and should've been in some grim dark show where he dies valiantly I say Maiko should get his own harem. He is a pervert, but he's still too good a guy to actually act upon it, so he fits the bill. The only problem is that he's not dense like your standard harem MC, but I say that would be a nice change of pace. |

To answer with my own character, I guess I would have to go with Shinoa from Seraph of the End. Not necessarily a great character but she is legit the only character in that show who has a personality. Also would say Koko from Jormungand cause I just wanna see her in Black Lagoon. |

The count from gankutsuou. He was easily the best character in the show and gankutsuou would have been a 10/10 anime if not for that shit ending. He belongs in an alternate version of gankutsuou where the ending is similar to the book's ending and where albert gets less than 5 minutes of sereentime. |

Bulat, Wave and Chelsea from Akame ga Kill while technically not being great characters had likable personalities and I feel could have been handled much better in another less grim-dark show. |

Okabe Rin- *ahem* I mean, HYOUUIN KYOUMA from Steins;Gate. (Yeah, that's right! I said it! Ya wanna fight about it!?) He was the best character in the show, surrounded by a bunch of typical archetypal characters and typical VN scenarios, with the only unique aspect of the show being the time travel element. He would have been much better off being in a different series, surrounded by better characters and a better overall storyline. |

Souma from Food wars, It's not even that he doesn't fit in food wars. I literally never watch this genre at all can't really usually stand it. More into fantasy/action/drama even romance but to my shock I have loved Food wars so far and he is a big reason. I find it amusing that one of the most put together consistent, likable,funny while still being not to tropey and badass/tough [ in a logical and mental way not fighting wise.] mcs was found in a food themed show lol. I would like to see charries like him in more serious action/drama themed shows. |

He stood out from the rest of the characters on purpose, the narrative was specifically about him and how he dealt with time travel and the loss of people in his life over and over again. Time travel wasn't an element, it was the whole story. He wouldn't work out in another anime. |

Erza Scarlet One of two only redeemable character's in the pile of shit that is Fairy Tail , she had good character development and Presence ( The second being Laxus before his downfall after his arc *sighs ) Kirishima Touka she deserves better than to be in this garbage of an adaptation like Erza she had a very good character growth throughout the two seasons. |

I meant to say it was one of the few unique aspects of the show (and one of the few good parts of it, as well). Anyway, he could absolutely work in another show about time travel... you know... a better one. Honestly, there was a bunch of generic shit getting in the way in Steins;Gate that made it difficult to get through. I realize it's highly rated, but I thought it had flaws, with only a handful of redeeming qualities. Okabe was one of those redeeming qualities... and I'd prefer to see him in a different show without all of that generic shit. |

Hasegawa Kobato from BokuTomo, I felt like she belonged in series like Chuunibyou or Inou Battle instead of some ecchi like harem series. |

Kumagawa Misogi: he's a good and interesting and I liked his "loser" side that many times was contradicted by himself. But I think Medaka Box was bad despite the trash and satire were his strong point. |

Jean Kirstein from AoT, He's probably the only Character in the whole series that was being developed and I mean the only one. To me that guy overshadowed the rest of the cast; who were all a bunch of 2D Shounen tropes, Seriously how could the fans of this series overlook him he was even better than that robot Levi who's got 15K followers on MAL which is something that I don't understand.... How??? It's a shame that he's a way above-average Character in a way below-average show. |
