Any anime that you dropped because of a single or multiple unearned characters???

I feel like being original today so I’ll say Shinji from Evangelion and Shirou from Fate.
Meow meow meow meow and meow shogi, meow meow meow meow and meow shogi.

Taking one step a time, I work and try my best.

Expect from me a good paw punch!

I managed to finish both of these in the end, but I almost didn't make it. Sempai from Magical Sempai and Hinata from Haikyuu!! s1. As for manga, I am still weighing whether to drop The Promised Neverland because of Emma.

Sae from Peach Girl has to be the most infuriating character I think I've seen. Doesn't help that almost all of the rest of the characters are blindly retarded, but damn have I never felt so much frustration from a character before.






also Suzuka from Suzuka....don't think I've ever seen a worse main pairing before :P

I have yet to drop a show but Nana Komatsu (Hachi) from Nana is probably the most unbearable character I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.

Asta made me drop the Black Clover anime, but I plan to read the manga so I at least won't have to hear his voice.

I finished s1 of Ultimate Survivor Kaiji, but I can't bring myself to watch s2. Even though I love the gambling and mind game elements, I can't stand Kaiji's character. I also dropped Fire Force because of the female character (idr her name) whose special ability is getting groped accidentally all the time.

Most unbearably annoying characters, to the point of dropping the show...for me...some exemples would be:

-Every bland and annoying harem protagonist from an Isekai ever
-Bell from Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka
-Deku from My Hero Academia
-Yuusha from Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
-Asta from Black Clover
-Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins
-Yukiteru from Mirai Nikki
-Tatsumi from Akame ga Kill
-Shinra from Fire Force
-Makoto from School Days
-Kouta from Elfen Lied

(in some cases I dropped the series....in others I finished the series)

Mashiro from Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo was that for me.
It's been a while since I watched it, but from what I remember all she did was cause trouble for the MC and embarass him in public. After I realized that this is who the main love interest is, I figured I won't be enjoying the ride for much longer (especially since I found myself cheering for the other girl).

Literally all the characters from Nisekoi. Especially Chitoge she is the most annoying tsundere in anime. Also her constantly arguing with the main character got on my nerves. Onodera was the most tolerable character from the nine episode I watch before dropping it. but even still she the type of dandere character who is so socially inept to the point where it's annoying.

Index from Toaru majutsu series... I don't even know why this girl considered to be cute...she so annoying for me. the reason why i still watch the series is because of Mikoto Misaka, Accelerator, and Touma's mysterious power.

when it comes to the point of dropping the show probably I go with kirito, almost drop s2, and decided not to watch alicization. it's not like I hate him, it's just that I want Sao new season with the new main character. please no more kirito. give the new girl to new mc.

Everybody from Itazura na Kiss, and the MC from Gosick. It's mind-boggling how characters like that get written into an anime, and nobody on production says "Hey, aren't these characters extremely annoying?"

Li Xin, the main character from Kingdom
https://myanimelist.net/anime/12031/Kingdom?q=Kingdom

It's the only character from the 250+ anime I've seen that made me drop the anime after 17 episodes. He kept reacting angry to EVERYTHING, he would never hold a normal conversation, and just always scream. I endured so many episodes hoping he would get some character development, but nope, everytime he opened his mouth, he was screaming and angry.

Even though the plot and the world building were interesting, this dude alone made me hate the whole anime, and I dropped it.

Exactly, I can't stand the guy either, but somehow he made the show popular in japan cause of the way he acts?
I just hate characters that scream for everything they do, Zenitsu hasn't had a normal conversation in the whole anime, he's always screaming and cringy. I still gave Demon slayer a 8/10, but that score would probably be higher if that kid wasn't in the anime.

Deku from BNHA at first season is a crybaby, it was very annoying.
But Bam from Tower of God and that couple from Baccano are the champions. I hate them.

Out of the small handful of shows I've dropped, I've actually never dropped a single one due to any character or characters alone, but this question immediately summons to mind the one I know for a fact I came closest to on that very basis:

Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Why?

1.) Shinji Ikari
2.) Asuka Langley

Love to pieces Rei, Gendo, and Misato, but absolutely cannot stomach the above two.

Yeah. Plenty. Most notable ones are: SAO because of K*rito after season 1 and Boke Dake ga Inai Machi because of Satoru after 6 episodes. They are awful MCs.

I don't think I ever dropped an anime because of a certain character, but there are some of the characters made me almost drop an anime:

- Mineta from BNHA: just to be clear, I don't like perverted characters, but I do like some of them because they have other traits I like, but Mineta... it's more likely he existed for the sake of comedy (he's not funny for me though >_>). I mean I still wonder how he passed the Acceptance test of the UA.

- Rachel from ToG: well look, I haven't read the manhwa and I know she barely had screen time in the anime, but I didn't like how she treats Bam and the reason behind this treatment is much worse and it is because she got jealous of him because he was the chosen one to climb the tower and she wasn't. I don't know if she changed in the manhwa, I'm saying the things that I saw from her so far.

^This. I honestly didn't stand Shiina's dumbness, it feels like just if she doesn't have a brain. Plus, I saw some videos on youtube about her, these videos made it feel like just if her role in the anime is to put the MC in a embarrassed moments.

I remember regretfully dropping Haganai because of this. I wanted to like the characters, too...but once they added a few more annoying archetypes and then started running with those archetypes rather than humanizing them... :(

Also, I want to watch Machine Doll but then every time I try I remember that Yaya is wayyy to obnoxiously forward.

The lead characters from No Game No Life are also rather jerkish, or in the case of the little sister, just very needlessly sketchy.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

Code Geass - Suzuaku This 'british cigar' was one of the most pretentious annoying sacks of shit I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. Can never be reasoned with and has to stick to this insufferable sense of justice. Blames the main character for everything that goes wrong. Just wants to criticize and never offer any solutions. He's just a whiny little bitch the entire show. Couldn't get through s2 it just gets worse and worse. Had to just 2x it and use it as background noise. AWFUL character.

Honorable mentions:

Demon Slayer - Zenitsu: I was on the verge of dropping the show. I really didn't want to continue. His 'comedic' scenes went on for way too long. His personality was on put on max setting constantly. When the show wanted him to be funny, he was more annoying or cringy (In a get off my screen kind of). Dude was constantly screaming. Almost as bad as the screeching from that one guy from Black Clover that made me never look at the series again from a single trailer. He was by the far the worst aspect of what was a very good show.When they toned him down and it wasn't so in your face (last 3 eps) he was somewhat humorous. It ultimately was worth it to push through to the end, but I do not blame anyone who drops the show after episode 10 or 11 (when he is reintroduced).

BNHA - Mineta: Don't know if he is just a victim of the dub or what. But his voice is fucking grating. He is almost NEVER funny. I think i've only chuckled at one of his scenes and it was with froppy. His power is fucking stupid and then the less he is on my screen, the better. People criticize the series for not fleshing out side characters, but some characters are better off left in the dumpster.

Bakemonogatari - Hanekawa: I never liked any of her arcs. She is annoying as fuck and I never cared about her problems. Only thing she is good for is doujinshi material.

Didn’t like Rimeru from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Still haven’t finished the show.

Taiga from Toradora was pretty unbearable. I did finish the show, but gave it a very low rating.
