Have you ever continued an anime you dislike because of a character you like a lot?

I don't know if this thread have been done before but well. I've saw a thread about dropping an anime because a character you dislike, so I wanted to do the opposite thing, is there a show you disliked but you have continued it because of a character you liked a lot?

I'll start, I dislike Fairy Tail but I may continue it because of Erza.

I don't drop anime in general. But sort of as an answer to this thread, I just watched Gabriel Dropout and found Satania to be a hard carry for the show.

A single character is usually what gets me into a show, or past the first couple episodes(for example I only started watching One Piece for zoro), but I don't think one amazing character would make a show bearable.

More like VAs for me

I've watched Watamote just because it was Stocking from the Gainax anime in the english dub.

Also, I'm currently watching this ugly-ass Appleseed TV series because it's Shinobu from the Monogatari series.

I've spent several years without dropping shows, with the mentality of "If I've started it, I'll finish it". Can't recall any shows I disliked where there was a character I liked, but there were times where the only thing about the show I liked was the opening/ending. Thankfully I've allowed myself to drop shows now, so I can actually watch shows I enjoy and not waste my time with the ones that don't please me.

One of the most imporant factors for me to like a show is that I like atleast one of the characters, so it might happen in the future.

I'm pretty sure there are a few, but the 1st one that comes to mind is Owari no seraph. For me it was boring af but I couldn't give up on Mika!

I tried to search for a topic like this yesterday and I couldn't find it. I know it exists.
I watched season 3 of Aikatsu for Akari. Her friends are all boring.

For me Raphiel was the carry. I guess you could count Satania with her too because Raphiel's dynamic was mainly based around Satania.

I guess the closest thing that comes to mind is Nero from Fate/Extra: Last Encore. I wouldn't have dropped the show anyway since I typically don't drop too many anime, but Nero was a carrying that show on her back.

I'm sure there have been plenty of others in my long and arduous anime-watching career, however.

Todoroki and Hawks (from what we saw) are the only reasons for watching MHA's 5th season.

Pretty much the only reason why I want to watch that show. How much screen time does she get? I know she’s only a supporting character unfortunately.

I completed Kimetsu No Yaiba S1 probably only because I could see Nezuko being cute sometimes

I did not enjoy watching Durarara at all, but I finished the first season because the Black Russian sushi chef Brezhnev was such a joy to see. I also liked Heiwajima but I definitely stuck around for Brezhnev.

@EightSeven
Kurumi is a major character in episodes 7-10 of the 1st season. You won't want to watch the later seasons. She's set to star in the upcoming spinoff, however.

Nah, I don't do that. If it is too boring to get through I just drop it.
