For me, it's definitely Uchiha Itachi (Naruto Franchise), Jean Kirstein (AOT), Meruem (HxH), Takasugi Shinsuke (Gintama) and Todoroki Shouto (BnHA). What about you?

I remember that I didn't like Levi Ackerman(Shingeki no Kyojin) in the beginning.
I thought he was a lazy guy, who fears nothing and was only strong cuz the author wanted to.
Like every shounen, but guess what... I was wrong.

At first,I didn't like Akemi Homura from Madoka Magica. Now she is one of my favorite characters.

Ami from Toradora. During my first watch through I thought she was the worst of the 3 main girls. It was only kinda recently, after many re-watches, that she's my favorite.

For me it was Kaiki from Monogatari.
I didn't like him when i watched the 1st series(Bakemonogatari) but as i watched more seasons of it he got onto my favourites list, i like his character a lot now and i think he's one of the best characters.

The beauty of humans is that they say one thing then do another, but at the same time that can also be their ugliest side.

Ferris from DenYuDen and Victlrique from Gosick. They had some pretty redeeming moments and they kept getting better.

Accelerator, he's one of the main reasons why I'm able to continue watching Index lol

Also Meruem; he seemed like a bit of a dick when he was first born, but gets better and better as the Chimera Ant Arc progresses.

Mugino from ToAru Majutsu
Mustang Roy from Full metal
Yuta and Akane from SSSS.Gridman
They start uninteresting and bland but as the anime progress they get more character.

Kaiki. I didn't like him at all in the beginning, he was introduced as villain, after all, and I didn't really agree with what he was doing. But eventually, as his character was explored more, I started to love his character, and now he is among my all time favorite anime characters.

How dare you call Meruem a bit of a dick! All he did was kill innocent children and ate their brains. Smh, people judge others based on such trivial things nowadays.

On a serious note, that was a pretty funny understatement. Great character nonetheless.

There are many but the latest on would be Bakugou.
Right now he's my favorite character in the show and also one of the reasons why I haven't dropped my hero academia yet.

To be completely honest I forgot all about that, I was simply talking about how he killed the Queen Ant (his mum); screw the humans, Ant-kind matters more xD

I would say Gin from Bleach. He was a very nerve-wracking character when they first introduced him, but then you find out why that for centuries he was someone's pet because that one guy did something bad to the girl he liked.

Kurosaki Mea (To Love-ru Darkness) she was just annoying at the beginning and later seeing her backstory made me love her.

Jotaro from JoJo. I didn't like his introduction at first, but further down the series, I began to like him.

Dunno-think I'd have to say Touma from Index and Railgun-he starts out pretty milquetoast but gets much more interesting as the episodes progress.

For me it's quite a few actually. To name some:

- Wang Qi/Ou Ki from Kingdom. At first i thought he's a creepy, suspicious, secretly bad man. Turns out he's actually a really brave, heroic, wise & kind general.

- Waver Velvet from Fate series (I don't like his younger self but El-Melloi II is awesome)

- Endeavor from BnHA
- Funny Valentine from SBR (not really an anime tho)
- Melo from Death Note

Perhaps krista from SNK, she grew from a kind but timid weakling to a kind and brave best girl.
