kaneki dude, I get it you’re a depressed 17 year old SoundCloud rapper on a discord server but he really isn’t all that great.
Also todoroki and bakugou! I don’t get the appeal other than bakugous super cool design.

Please do keep in mind that a lot of people appreciate his character from the manga perspective. The anime handled him like absolute ass and doesn't do his character justice at all.

Goddamn Taiga

Literally nothing is great about her, just another tsundere. She doesn't deserve Ryuuji.

MeisterDM said:
Anyone who says something negative about katsuki bakugou from boku no hero academia will get attacked by the fans with their "HURR DURR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT" (which is non-existent btw) and will be referred to as a "blind hater" .

Also his voice actor (japanese) is a cheating manwhore.

latina or whatever her name is from gabriel drop out. also bakugo is extremely overrated because he’s “hot”

Johan Liebhardt, he is just an idiot who wants to kill random people because he has sexual fantasies about his twin sister, yet people call him a complex character and bla bla bla, he can't even spell his fake name correctly, he writes it Liebert and even MAL sees no problem in this.

L, he is an evil police detective who has no problem in killing people like Lind L. Taylor, yet he's praised for being a just man with good morals and all that bull shit, at least Kira killed for justice and society really was changed, Japan had no crimes in his era, compared to L's era when criminals were roaming the streets raping and killing. L is an autistic kid who enjoys the thrill of detective work.

Wow, I was so harsh.

L was certain that Light was kira and If he was truly without morals he could have killed light just like that and when the murders stop happening, could have used that as proof that light is kira but he was a good guy at heart and didn't wanna do that to light. Also Soichiro Yagami would go apeshit

Lind was a death row inmate who's execution was scheduled that day.

As for the most overrated character , obviously Levi. He is just your average badass plot device.
"Oh , I have resolved every situation , but this one is like really difficult and I don't know how I make the characters get through all this. Maybe I shouldn't have set the stakes so hi-
Oh yeah , I have Levi. BOOM SOLVED"
- Isayama , probably.

He is entertaining to watch , and that's it.
Eren is so much better.

This is actually fucking hilarious to read. Meruem goes through an entire arc, learning that people are better than others at certain things and learns to appreciate humanity through it. Meruem never beats Komugi ever. Not once.

You can not like it but for fucks sake don't state such baseless bullshit my god.

Mashima Taichi from Chihayafuru *sighs*

I might be killed for saying this, but I really feel disappointed every time anyone expresses admiration for Taichi ...
I feel like I am losing my faith in humanity because of him and what's worse is that I know every single reason for their admiration and it really sucks ...

MuscularBlackMan said:


Damn bro that's deep even considering your name and shit but I get it that's how I feel about some characters, I really like them a lot but other people expressing the same feelings bothers me sometimes

MashimaTaichi_ said:


Yeah, Taichi is the character I relate to most in all the fictional world, he is a character made to fight certain flaws (my flaws that I hate so much) so I look at the flaws that are still there after sooo long and people look at his "efforts" and forgive him for everything and worship hip somehow ..I dunno, It's just, so frustrating ...

EpicMoeViolence said:
I'm surprised why such a mediocre character is liked by so many people.

Ree2 said:
Can i just say
I just hate taichi
No complicated feelings
Just pure hate
Every time chihaya throws a card of the mat i hope that it would have enough momentum and velocity to reach taichi's throat. It would impel him and kill him like in a bond movie.
Huh

It's easy to say that this character or that is overated, and it's obvious that most people will attack the most favorited character (lelouch, okabe, l, levi, kurisu...) and the characters that were writen in a subtle way for a deep purposes (yohan libert, meruem, hachiman...) but people really need to try to understand the characters instead of juging them from a surface level. When you say that a character is overated you say why, but before that you have to take in consideration all the traits of his personality, every information given about him.... when you think the matter this way, it becomes hard to say that a character is overated.
For me what truely matters is the underated characters, because they dont get what they deserve. It's sad that they dont get as much attention as the so called overated.

finestseeker17 said:

Bruh, people don't pick favorite characters based on those characters purposes in the storytelling. What are you talking about?

People picked Hachiman as their favorite because of his attitude, actions & personality as a high school student. Not because of storytelling. Hachiman might change as the story goes but definitely not all of those people will change with Hachiman.

Therefore I'll say it once more, grow up Hachiman's fanbois.

hamza121419 said:
first, if you have carefuly read my comment, i'm not talking about how people choose their favorite characters, so your comment doesnt make any sense, cause i didnt say that people picked up hachiman because of some story telling purposes, i said that the ones who think he is overated dont understand the subtle way he was constructed as a character in the story.

Second, i talked about how characters like hachiman were 'WRITEN' in a subtle way, so even if we consider the case of people chosing their favorites, i didnt ignore their personalities, their attitudes and actions, cause this is a part of their character writing. So before you start quoting, please read carfuly what people has developped and finnaly please try not to judge people you dont know in a surface level, expressions like 'grow up hachiman's fan boy' doesnt give any plus to your idea, you have just put me in a category that you think i'm a part of, but the word 'fanboy' as known in the community doesnt mean anything to me.

There's hardly anything subtle in a character, really. And the one you mentioned are even less subtle. You get full episodes dedicated in their development and the whole plot revolve around them. They were also written in a way to appeal to the audience. Nothing really deep was intended in the purpose of writing them.

hamza121419 said:
well this is your opinion, and others have theirs, i think that a good writen character can have some subtle aspects, either in the way he clearly was portrayed or what you can deduce and understand from what the writer has given to you. I agree with you that most of the characters that i mentioned were writen to appeal to the audience, but there are things that were done with their writing that makes them subtle, at least in my opinion, lelouch for example may appeal to a large audience but the way he was writen was so subtle that most of people didnt know what he he was going to do in a lot of stages of the show, and almost every one got shocked in the end because of the way he was writen. When you rewatch code geass you realize how subtle he was as a character. And this goes for a lot more shows, and i believe that when one rewatches a show he begins to see some aspects in the characters he didnt see in the first watch, and this is a part of what i called subtle writing. Yohan in the other side is a character whose writing has been subtle by the lack of screen time he was given (in a good way). For a good amount of episodes, we didnt see him in screen, we only heard about him or has been shown the consequenses of what other characters assumed it was his doing. So, in the end, i cant agree with your statement ''there is hardly anything subtle in a character'' cause i ve seen quite some of such characters, and i can develop and argue why i think they are. Lelouch, yohan, askellad, kakashi, okabe... are in my opinion a good examples, some of them may seem typical and may have been made to appeal to the audience, but they have their subtle aspect which may not be seen or understood, cause either it's not clear enough for the first watchers, or it depends on personal interpretations and how you interact with the show.

Hrybami said:


Okay I get it.

I don't think the word subtle is appropriate in this context. What you mean is probably complex. Because what you mean isn't really things that are unnoticed by the audience. Most of the things you mentioned were also part of why people take those characters as favourite. They like the complex side of the character.

So I disagree with you saying people don't understanding them. People just have different perspectives and they can see something generic in a character seen complex by someone else. It's a matter of opinion, thus what the word overrated implies.
