I have some shows where im more interested in the side character than the main character. like

Brand New Animal (BNA): i liked Nazuna more as she was a bit more refined as character
Fate/Apocrypha: Astolfo was way more interesting than Sieg, best boii
Full Metal Alchemist: Roy Mustang was such a badass, wished to see more of him
Little Witch Academia: Constanze and Amanda are the better girls, over Akko

Have you had shows where you liked the side character more? And why



chill down on the listing, give some reasons ÒωÓ

I'm literally MCboi, I just tend to love MCs more than most other characters. What I can tell you is that most people like side characters above the MC.
I maybe like Ruby more than Chika in Love Live! Sunshine!!. I just always liked MCs haha

okay, here's one. Sakai Tama in D-Frag. Loved her a bunch, and the Tama arc was my favorite part of D-Frag for sure.

Durarara - I honestly like the entire cast more than I like Ryuugamine but Izaya is my favourite by far.

Vinland Saga - For now at least since I haven't read the manga, I definitely love Askeladd as a character much more than Thorfinn. I feel like Thorfinn's gonna get better though since the whole anime was just the prologue.

Bungou Stray Dogs - I just feel like Atsushi is a little boring. I definitely like Dazai (and most of the cast) a whole lot more

Black Lagoon - Revy. That's all I have to say.

- Kairi Shishigou and Mordred from Fate/Apocrypha (compared to Sieg and Jeanne D'Arc)
- Kyouka Izumi and Ranpo Edogawa from Bungou Stray Dogs (compared to Atsushi Nakajima)
- Almost all characters from Boku no Hero Academia (compared to Izuku Midoriya)
- Most characters from older Psycho-Pass series in Psycho-Pass 3 (compared to all new characters)

P.S. Compared to all characters labeled as "Main" in the MAL anime page


the dynamic master servant relationship between those two, Mordred and Kairi was amazing. I totally agree

Nisekoi - Shuu Maiko and Ruri Miyamomto. They held the show's comedy, I am actually upset that there weren't more moments for the pair.

Chuunibyou - Sanae Dekomori is probably the best character there since she, imo, is the most chuunibyou out of everyone. We both agree that milk sucks too.

Takagi-san - I liked the trio of Mina, Sanae, and Yukari, they were more interesting that the constant teasing Takagi did to Nishikata.

Haikyu - Tsukishima was just better than MCs but far.

- Aizawa from MHA, the only character I like so far out of everyone
- majority of Karasuno and Nekoma, everyone is better than Hinata and Kageyama
- Isabella, Sister Krone from Neverland; plus Norman if you consider Emma to be the only MC
- Akise and Minene from Mirai Nikki, can't stand both Yuno and Yuki
- Bertold, Ymir, Historia, Sasha... - basically anyone but Eren and Mikasa

I'd pick side characters over MC most of the times, they seem to have more interesting stories than MC usually does.

Kohinata, Miku from Senki Zesshou Symphogear


To be honest I dont like that anime ,cant stand the mc or any other characters . Imo its trash overall,,, BUT it have one glimmer of hope and that is Miku . And my lesbian princess is not trash. She is my beautiful treasure and she have done noting wrong. She is a warm-hearted kind girl that cares to much. And she deserves something better then being abused by her so called best friend


So whatever I think about that anime or its other characters. I still love her, and my Miku is one of my favourite support characters of all time

Jim Crocodile Cook from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX(He was the best character, i'm still pissed they didn't include him in the last arc but they included Johan and even Austin!!! >:( He was also absent from most of the video game adaptations like WTF!!!!!!)

Sai from Naruto Shippuden, absolutely hilarious and i could never get myself to dislike him, no matter how jerky his attitude seemed, also huge bonus that he's an artist!

Adult Lambo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, the punching bag of the series besides Tsuna, whatever as a child or teen, Lambo can never catch a break, i still hate Bianchi for always mistaking him for her EX and trying to kill him every time she'd see him! >:(

Zazie from Tegamibachi, seriously, how can you say no to a supposedly "tough" guy who absolutely loves cats?! :3

Horikawa Kunihiro from Touken Ranbu, ok he had a main role in Katsugeki but was only secondary in Hanamaru, so, it counts, i guess? Best personality and character, best sword boy ever and you can't change my mind!!!

The others i like are main characters though not the MC, but i don't know if it counts, so i'm leaving them out for now.

Aqua IS a main character. Konosuba follows 4 mc as they always party up
Shirou is also a main character from BNA, we see not to much in the beginning but he sticks till the end, making him as much mc as Michiru

some show? really? that little? personnaly, in 3/4 of the shows I watch it's the case. in most shonens too, obviously : how good could BNHA be without mr. any-shonen-protagonist for example. it's not the case with comedy and most seinen, I didn't take them into acount in the 3/4.

Not exactly. According to some sources Levi is more appreciated than Eren and more profitable since it sells more in about anything.

since I didn't talk about any shows exept mha on my last comment (and you'll probably have seen my other comment) I'll write a few of the most notable for me here :

assassination classroom : didn't like mr trap blue hair I preffered the "psycopath" one

MHA : bakugo would really be a way better MC for my tastes, deku is so uninteresting and generic. and I don't like him, I really don't. other than that, having a villain as a MC would make me happier but the series would be so much different it's not realistic.

durarara : I liked more the other mains characters to the "main" MC. cause he was kinda "your normal guy" but I"m not too sure tbh about that i watched it some times ago

fate zero : I prefered gilgamesh and all to our "main" MCs (still great anime)

goblin slayer : I liked the goblins more

hunter x hunter : not to say MCs are bad but villains are so good (meruem, hisoka, chrollo) I did like them more

jojo : kira and dio are great so they're naturally better even though mcs are good

kekkai sensen : mr mc is annoying and not really interesting, I rather the other characters they're more original

yea and I'm lazy to continue but that's a few where it's the case

Literally every side character in Planetes. My most favorite are Yuri, Fee and, of course, the Greatest - Werner Locksmith.
Hachimaki got less pathetic in the end, but I still couldn't bring myself to like him. As for Ai - she was extremely annoying in the beginning and ended up being a little bit less annoying in the end. Honestly, couldn't care less about these two.

i liked the antagonist more than kiritsugu. and yes gilgamesh was really good in this one.

dio was just a prick but charismatic, but kira took it to a whole new level, he was better than josuke. but i still like all the jojo characters
