Anime's coming out later this summer, Kanojo Okarishimashu. Dude is constantly bitching and moaning about how hard everything is when literally everything is his fault when it comes to causing problems for himself and the girls he's involved with. It's such a shame because the art is honestly stellar.

I actually think that pathetic mc is often better than op mc, they create much more narrative, imagine that dude was someone like kirito the whole show would be shit. The main reason i like gosick is because while its main characters is not as smart, it give us a standard of a “normal person” in a fantasy world and it is fun to see story created because of his naiveness

Totally fair, and I love Renton from Eureka Seven because of his transformation from pathetic to someone who is actually reliable. The bigger issue to me is that he never ever learns from his mistakes. It becomes quite grating when he recognizes that he's doing the wrong thing and yet still never really has to bother with serious consequences, he just makes a big deal about it.

I think a lot of YA is ruined because of the MCs. Like: BnHA is bad because Midoriya sees his bully as a hero, Naruto has three annoying kids as its lead characters, almost every romance story is just 'boy meets girl, and thus they should fall in love'. (So, I guess I want writers to treat their characters as people with souls, before looking at their roles in the plot.)

Well that is another thing, so you mean that that dude never learn, so no character development. Then i would have to agree with you

Subaru is a illogical peice of a character if you call him one, rem killed him -> he love her anyway without trauma, then after having a steady relationship with rem -> i love emilia, after having torture -> litterally no trauma (akame ga kill vibe)

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: It felt like he shouted and overreacted at every scene. My ears actually hurt watching it, but I still enjoyed it.

Hunter x Hunter: I can't say Gon ruined the anime for me because HxH is still one of my favorite animes, but I just found Gon boring. I liked Gon's development, but I feel like HxH would've been better if Gon was more badass like Yusuke.

Kimi ni Todoke: Some of her scenes just piss me off

Tokyo Ghoul: I'm unsure if it's purely because of a poor adaptation, but I've never been interested in Kaneki. It felt like he changed his personality too much that I never got used to or liked one.

Eh, I wouldn't really say that (you're talking about AP right?). The beginning with Kufa observing Melida was pretty interesting, and the story behind Rosetti (and her dynamics with Kufa) was interesting as well. If the story chose to follow either of those instead of resorting to cheap girl drama and yuri-bait, then it could've had lots of potential

I've always thought of it as "lets make the MC pathetic so theres character development throughout the story." In Deku's case, he becomes strong as his bully and Naruto proves everyone who doubted him wrong. I can't stand Deku and I can't get past the first season of Naruto when I rewatch

Of course not, not the cutiepie Felix! Ahh, why the hell are all other characters so fine, it’s like the creator is a sadist and wants everyone to suffer

Subaru needs to get isekaied to Okama Island from OP, that’s the place for him to be, not the Re:Zero universe.

He was a good MC you can’t just put over the top and quirky characters in a show and have no normal standard it would be shit, imagine danganronpa (the game) without their mc, it would not be as good.

This hasn't happened to me yet because the most important thing I look in anime first is the ost then the plot and then the characters, having good characters is a bonus but not necessary for me.

P.S. - I've had instances where the mcs were good, but the plot sucked.
Example - Bunny girl senpai

Many series has uninteresting or/and annoying MC, but one series I think could be far better with a better MC is Durarara!!. The setting and story telling are fun, but Mikado (and Anri) is reaalllly boring.

I used to hate shiro from fate before I played/read/completed/whatevered the VN. He was boring, bland and unlikeable in the anime but he's actually my second favorite character in the VN. Also chiaki "tits" nanami is the best girl in dangaronpa 2. Or second best after peko. Or third after sonia. Or maybe mikan. I really need to rank them.

Completely agree with you on this. I would add Gon. He is not a bad character in general, but he was the most uninteresting character in the series. He is completely plain in comparison to the MC from Togashi's other manga - Yusuke Urameshi from Yuu Yuu Hakusho, who is one of the best MCs in anime IMO.

I really didn't like Eren in Shingeki no kyojin I had issues with him and even mikasa. Eren gets better later on but takes way too long if you ask me.

Shirou Emiya from Fate series is very annoying,
Natsu in FT made me drop the show, and Raki in claymore is Super annoying

It has to be the MC of Seiren. I can't remember his name... yet, I can remember Juuichi from Amagami SS easily.

Juuichi at least had some good personality and quirkes; the guy from Seiren was just boring and his romance with the girls... actually, I take that back. Girl, I didn't even bother with the second girl/arc.

Just to list a couple of biases.
Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice.
Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing.

The index part of the toaru series, index and touma are so average and mediocre that they just get complete overshadowed by misaka and accelerator later in the series

They're also why I enjoyed index far less than railgun, the characters in railgun is what made the show

Also may I add Jonathan joestar cause unlike all other JoJos after him he doesn't really have a personality, and being a gentleman isn't really one

At least she’s not ugly and useless, you know? Attractive (and successful) people/characters always get a pass in my world.

But I don’t care, I’ve never said Umaru was the best character ever, I just find her ways to be relatable.

Haibane Renmei isn't supposed to just be entertaining though lol. It is a slow-paced atmospheric show. I don't get why people try to force weird things onto a clearly depressed and lonely character. Why does she need to be "entertaining". Would ruin the entire point of her character.
