| The first character that comes to my mind is of course Nezuko from Kimetsu no Yaiba, and no one can deny that she's loved by everyone, even though she barely does anything, she's just basically existing(sure she does some quite adorable things and helps in fights sometimes, but still) Can you mention any other characters who are similarly loved even though they don't do much in the anime? |

| Speedwagon from JoJo. He sucks at fighting (against strong opponents at least, he lead a gang of thugs at the beginning of the series, so he at least could hold his own against common humans), spends the 90% of his screentime commenting the battles he's watching while being scared of nearly everything, and barely does nothing during the series. It's safe to say that Yet, Jojo fans love him and claim Speedwagon to be the best waifu of the series, which it is strange, as the kind of characters like him tend to not be very liked, especially in shounens. That being said, I like Speedwagon myself. |
 |
| I'm inclined to say Filo from Shield Hero, because if it wasn't for her loli nature and occasional kick to Motoyasu's nuts, she's pretty darn annoying most of the time |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Mayushi from Steins; Gate. The only thing she does is loving Okabe and crying tuturu and that's why people love her. |
| Hmm maybe Levi from Attack on Titan. I just checked and wow. I had no idea he was in the top 10 characters on MAL. Just for existing and being pretty cool at slashing titans. Not that that's a problem. |
| killua it's impossible to watch hxh and not like him |

lmao I actually dislike him pretty much. In some moments is a good and wholesome kid, in other is just an annoying edgy brat |

| Froppy from BnH. I swear, 90% of the reason people must like her is because of her design. |
| emilia does nothing in re:zero except be cute and talk to subura and she became one of the best waifus of the season |

I just checked and wow. I had no idea he was in the top 10 characters on MAL. Just for existing and being pretty cool at slashing titans. Not that that's a problem. Well that is what Levi's character is about, being cool. Although I don't think he would be as highly rated nowadays if AoT came out, since his and Misaka's favorites are just from the hype that was the first season. Thats funny considering he is top seven and fan keep increasing after each season. So your statement is wrong Levi keep getting higher from season 1 to season 3 fan continue increasing. Levi does not fits this question because he kill titan, do a lot stuffs and help protagonists from struggles many many times. I never see him does nothing and sit on his arse doing nothing. He even admit he hates doing nothing if conflict happens. Levi should not be here. So this is very untrue |

| Your example of Nezuko is a very good one. Other characters that just exist and don't do much, but are love are Mashiro Shiina from Pet Girl of Sakurosou, Emilia from re: Zero, Mumen Rider from One Punch Man, all of the K-On! Girls, and the list goes on |
| Blanks. |
Aybid said: Hinata doesn't do much either but we like her because she isn't Sakura I actually don't like her But I see a lot do, so I must be one of the very few ones who don't |
|
| Will Ryuk from Death Note count? I mean he basically did nothing and enjoyed the most. Not loved exactly but pretty cool. |
 |
| Pikachu. Pikachu is your answer. You can mark this thread as solved now. |
| Hmmm... other than above Doraemon, Totoro, .... Maybe? |
| Onodera Kosaki from Nisekoi is absolutely useless in every sense of the word yet apparently people considered her one of the best waifus ever at the time the series was still ongoing. Even though she's had several years on any of the other girls to get ahead, she's so shy that she's incapable of ever taking the first move regardless of the situation. As a result the only thing she ever does is sit around and blush, hoping that that's somehow going to solve all her problems, and somehow people adore her for it. I really don't understand it |

Ferien said: Mayushi from Steins; Gate.

Mayuri at least loved Okabe and admiered him and had known him since they were little |

| Levi is the anwer to ''Why battle shounen anime are so famous and loved despite they are 80% repetitive and unoriginal trash'' but made character, and that's just because they are epic and badass. I'm a big fan of SnK but the fanbase around Levi sucks, you have a lot of great fucking characters, like eren (a lot of character development in the last saga) and reiner (also a lot of character development throughout the series and a lot of internal conflicts (stop calling him plot-armored titan and learn what character development is you fking dumbasses)) |

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaka" Love him |
| Kanna from Dragon Maid comes to mind. All she does is being cute. She is very good at it though so I suppose it's not a surprise she's so popular. |

If you're a manga reader of the show, then you'll know that he isn't half as interesting, as complex a character than Eren, Zeke or Reiner are. |
| I think that every girl from Non Non Biyori counts. |
| Speedwagon. I know he technically created his foundation and helped the joestar bloodline quite a lot but he didnt do too much in the series itself to earn respect and most of his screentime is commenting on battles anyway. I mean the love for him is kind of a meme by itself |

I really don't understand it I beg to disagree if it's Kosaki Onodera in live action movie lol. I think the type of people that gets jealous because someone or even main character is flirting with her in anime is being discussed in this thread below. I'm also a sucker for shy girl https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1799049 |
BallisticRiot said: Mumen Rider from One Punch Man He delivered one of the most inspiring scenes in whole season 1, nearly getting himself killed in a fight against an opponent that he knew was far out of his league. I wouldn't say that he's loved for merely existing. |

| Nezuko: *literally does nothing* The internet: HNNNNNNNNG She's like a walking meme. The recent episode just spawned another meme of her (the smol Nezuko) |
 |
| I don't love her, so it's disproven. |
     |
| Takatin from Gintama. The guy appeared for like a couple of episodes and became a living legend. |
 |
| Every arrogant, sadistic/dickhead character will be beloved by fangirls as long as he's hot, even if he gets very little development. It goes the other way around as well, now that I think about it lol, fanboys will swoon over underdeveloped (character-wise goddammit) or garbage-human hot girls as well |
| I'm amazed that people cannot differentiate between character role and personal hatred. Well not really amazed since this is MAL after all. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
laviha said: Why are so many mentioning Levi? He slays titans and saved Eren's ass so many times. Slay titans won't make you a good character ,he is like that because of his ackerman gene, Even mikasa is strong , but that don't denies that he is a boring character , he is nothing comparable to a way better and more interesing characters like Eren Reiner and Zeke , these characters are more complex and aren't just the cool cold badass strong repetitive guy in every series like levi . |
Mirai said: Kanna from Dragon Maid comes to mind. All she does is being cute. She is very good at it though so I suppose it's not a surprise she's so popular. I love kanna and I have to admit that 60% of that love is because of her cuteness, but the other 40% is because she despite being a child cares about kobayashi (like when she wanted that rabit for his schoolbag) and also because of her relationship with kobayashi and tohru (at first she came to kill tohru [i think xd or at least something related with tohru] and hugely disliked kobayashi) |

-Ereya- said: 5) Zero Two has sex appeal and looks like a badass. Otakus eat that shit up. There's nothing else to her. And nothing else to the anime to be honest. Only a few fanservice scenes with her or her going beserk. I wish she went berserk on me lol character limit |
