Who's an anime character that you very much like but who makes you go "damn they are such a loser" when you think about them?


Probably an unconventional question but Reigen from "Mob Psycho 100" is one of those characters for me. I like his character, but he is such a loser. I don't even mean it in a bad way. If anything, being a loser is part of what makes him who he is, but when I say this to my brothers I don't think they can wrap their heads around it because they think I'm insulting him. Anyone else have a character they feel this way about?


EDIT: This character doesn't need to be a literal loser. They can just be a loser in spirit!

Not particularly, but I might like a character in spite of them being a loser.

It's a normal response to assume that you're insulting someone if you call them a loser.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I wouldn't like a character if I thought they were a loser tbh.
At worst I might find them to be a little bit of a dork, like Atsuko Kagari. She definitely isn't a loser though lol.

I have heard of people who can relate to him and that's why find him uhhh good? Anyway, everyone saying Kazuya is making me believe that they like him but they know that he is a loser which isn't the general opinion I'm sure.

I made three posts on this thread and didn't answer the question yet.

Pecora from Jashin-chan Dropkick. One of the best comedic characters you literally want to feel sorry for. Also, Jahy from the manga of the same name. Her suffering literally turns the anime into a melodrama.

Yandere's are cool though because they're fiction, no one would want anything to do with one in real life. Second, I don't recall telling you what you could or couldn't do, I said that it's a normal response to think a loser is negative rather than endearing.

Slice of life shows don't really need a concrete plot, the issue is that they cut up unrelated chapters and pasted them together to make a more cohesive narrative, which turned out awful. Now, all I can say is that Izumi is far better in the manga, but that's only if you are on board with the "role reversal" gimmick to begin with. I don't know if it's just the anime making him look dumber, the lack of context, or the fact he's annoying as hell when animated/voiced, but I couldn't stand him in the anime. The only way I found it remotely tolerable was to hear him in the dub, but the VA for Shikimori was barely passable, unfortunately.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.
