A character that you really liked, more like a favorite character, that seems to be disliked by a lot of people.
Did it happen to you?
Which character? Do you think there is a good reason for the hate?

I guess for me it's Near from Death Note. But I do understand why people hate him.

I wouldn't say he's hated (except by Gigguk, maybe) but Jacuzzi Splot needs way more love, the dude's amazing.

Gigguk only disliked him because of his VA in the dub... it seems that all of Daisuke Sakaguchi's roles get annoying VA's in the dubs...

Pretty much every straight love interest who "gets in the way of everyone's gay, badly matched OTP.

I would start a fanclub for them. XD

Casca is my favourite character from Berserk.

Casca gets hate? o_o

Used to like Sakura from Naruto (then Kishi threw her development to the thrash)

I also like Armin from snk and I think is one of the best characters of the show.

I liked Seryu from Akame ga Kill as a concept for a character. I feel that her personality could have been better developed though (everyone's personality should have been better developed really).

I really liked Job Truniht from LOGH. He was truly a despicable character and I get why he is hated but I admired him, because he doesn't fear anyone and always says what is on his mind, no matter who he is talking to.

Shinji when i've first seen Evangelion (i was young), but some years later i re-watched it and oh man!...it is by far the most annoying character i've seen in anime, just because (in the original anime) he never fkn man's up!!! It goes to the point when it stops being credible as a character and after that i almost got depression, just by watching him! (Still my favorite anime though=))

The first because I hated FMA anyways and the second because he was kinda funny.

Shinji is a big one. I think people hate him more because of how the anime is paced; like too much screentime is given to him angsting and they don't like that.

Upon rewatching the series (through the new movies), he behaves VERY realistically for a 14-year-old with crappy upbringing.

=DD I answered your question in my answer, but it's not only the mech it's that he was passive and bitching in almost every relation with every other character (in the original anime only). I found it quite refreshing the lift-up he got in the Rebuilds, now i love him again and i felt he became a "credible" character again.

Nope, I like a lot of characters everyone else hates. The list consists in:



And I think that is the complete list. In the most of cases, it's just people hates evil characters. Others, they find those characters annoying for x reason. Others, people just hate for the most stupids of the reasons. Anyway, they have shit taste, so...

HE LIVES IN AN HAREM! HE SHOULD FKN MAN UP!!! (But yeah if you think about the age it is not realistic...but the thing is no one cares about his age, the people seeing the anime at the time identified with him according to "their" view of life, and even if there were many similarities, in the end, he was over-depressing, even for a 16 yo kid.

:(

I like Chiyo too. It's refreshing to have a girl from that show who's not a COMPLETE BITCH amirte?
In fact, Chiyo is not my favourite girl of the series, but she hasn't doing anything wrong to be hated
but, well, shipping wars are always unfair >_>

Kyubey is waifu 4 lifu.

I really did like him
I think he along with Sayaka were the ones who carried the show. His design and voice acting were good too. Hell, without him we wouldn't have had any plot to begin with.

What kind of savage man are you? Who can like both Priscilla and Orihime at once? Sacrilege.

Didn't know people hated Mimasaka tho. That guy is legit awesome and featured in one of the best Japanese raps to date.

Priscilla was really awesome. Apart of having one of the best Awakened Being designs along with Isley, her backstory was really tragic and well done, apart of explaining well why she became the monster she was. And her fights were really cool.
As for Orihime, well, I like her design and bubbly personality. The fact that the fandom hated her that much made me like her even more.

People hates Mimasaka because he rekted their Italian bishie. In truth, his stalker method is actually very awesome, he was actually menacing and that rap was 10/10.

People tend to dislike Shinji from NGE and Yukki from Mirai Nikki but they're realistic and that's why I like them
If you had daddy issues while trying to save the world, you'd be acting just like them

I like Irisu from Hyouka. I can understand the hate in the film arc, but she was redeemed during the festival.
Aqua could be annoying at times but since it is part of her character I can't say she deserves the hate.

Amarty from Spice and Wolf isn't as bad as other people say. I hated him when watching, but looking back he deserved a little less hate (I still dislike him though)
I think Subaru is annoying at time, but he isn't the worse character in the show that title goes to someone else (no it is not Juilius). By the way I think Juilius gets too much hate.
Based on some thread, there are way too many people who hate Emilia. Those people are still clingy to their sunken ship.

I like the "fat fuck" (other people's words) from Accel World. He's probably one of my top 20- ish male characters of all time....

And oh, also Shinji and Asuka of NGE.

Well those are just the main ones...

I don't know how many people on here like Jessie and James from Team Rocket. But they are my favorite characters from the Pokemon franchise, even moreso than the main characters. Also I know a lot of people don't like Sakura from Naruto. I like her. She turned from useless ass ninja into a badass in three seconds flat.
All my other favorite characters seem to have a pretty decent fan base.

At least for most part in season 1, I kinda enjoyed Nena Trinity from Gundam 00, especially her introduction and how beautiful she is. Too bad she blows up a church for childish reasons and just does jack for season 2 other than having a few laughing scenes until she's killed. Reminds me of Kirei in UBW in that last regard. The only cool thing she did after season 1 was basically go all Death Star scene Han Solo on those assholes working for Ribbons and helped or Setsuna and Co.

She could've been great is what I'm saying, but at least I enjoyed her from time to time, despite her being often considered one of the most hated Gundam characters in existence. Then again, everyone sucks ass in Gundam 00 Second Season.

All of my actual favorites are well beloved characters so I had to go one which I kinda liked at points.

Re-l from Ergo Proxy. I love how she marches to the beat of her own drum and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Apparently some people find her aggressive and mean, but I think it's refreshing to have a female character who isn't compliant and demure.

Sometimes I feel like the last person on Earth who likes Kirito non-ironically while not self-inserting into him. It just seems like he's always dismissed as a wish fulfillment blank check, never mind that there's an entire story attached to him.

That's the entire point of his character tho. Put the weight of the world on the shoulders of a mentally unstable, neglected, unloved, 13 year old coward.

Iori from Kokoro Connect. She tbh carried the show for me. She was an extremely flawed character, which the show spared no effort in pointing out, making her feel a lot more human compared to the rest of the main characters.

But the only reason I didn't mention him is cause he has over 2,000 favorites. XD His haters are simply more vocal.....but he gets plenty of love still.

Takamiya honoka the mc from witch craft works. They hate him because (mostly) because he refused to kiss a girl but instead kissed her on the forehead which was funny to me also he is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good without hesitation which is nice :L.

It wasn't one of those "I'll save everyone" type fag scenario he knew had to choose between being selfish or being selfless and he chose the selfless route.

I think Mayoi Hachikuji is really hated in the fandom, but I like her a lot. I mean, she's not top tier, of course, but I find her scenes really enjoyable.
I have to say I kinda understand why is she hated, but I just don't find her that annoying.
