5 worst anime characters.

I'll preface this post by saying I'm sorry if a character you like is on this list. Now let's get started...

5. Tskune Aono (Rosario To Vampire)

Tskune is your typical harem lead, meaning he's clueless when it comes to women. Now there's a lot of characters that are clueless when it comes to the opposite sex, but Tskune takes it to a whole new level. The amount of cringing you'll do while watching this bumbling idiot try and talk to women will be over 9000 (Overused joke, but you will probably cringe that many times). He's also always having to be saved by the girls in his harem. Every. Single. Episode. He's also the most indecisive guy of all time. Throughout both seasons, he never chooses any of the girls, he just says "I DONT KNOW UGHHHHHH *WHINE*WHINE*WHINE." This guy is everything that's wrong with harem leads, all balled into one terrible character.

4. Nina Einstein (Code Geass)

Nina Einstein starts as a your typical very intelligent and shy girl. Nothing noteworthy at all. As the anime goes on, you see that she's a massive racist and annoying psychopath. It's never explained why she hates the Japanese so much either. She's a weak minded character too, as she has to obsess over another person for emotional support. I also hate her because during the anime, she was so crazy, that she would've blown up all of Tokyo just to get revenge for Euphemia (person she obsesses over).Couple that with the fact she has really ugly hair as well, and you got Nina. 

3. Yukiteru Amano (Mirai Nikki)

I'm baffled at the fact that some people like Yuki. He's THE most whiny character I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Even when his life is in danger of ending, he still whines and bitches about everything. This is made even worse by the fact that, for a couple of episodes, he actually mans up and DOESN'T whine and moan the whole time. He then reverts back to his normal self. Characters that act differently for no reason is a huge negative in my book, as it takes any character development they had, and just throws it out the window. Also, Yuki has a really annoying voice actor (Japanese), which just adds to the hate I have for this character. It's so whiny and nasally, like he always has a cold. The only thing I like about him

2. Kirito (Sword Art Online)

Kirito is THE definiton of a Gary Stu. A Gary Stu is a character, that is perfect. They look good, they're smart, they're overpowered, everything goes right for them, and is pretty much just there for the viewers to self insert. Kirito has almost no personality, no character development, and no matter how powerful his enemy is, he ALWAYS wins. No matter what he does, he's perfect at it, and it's never explained why. The fact that he solos MMO bosses is enough to confirm that he's overpowered as hell. I thought I would like him since he is also a hardcore gamer like me, but even that wasn't enough to save him from becoming one of my most hated characters. 

                            1. Kirino Kousaka (Oreimo) 

"Tsundere- is a Japanese character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time."

This girl... this girl right here, is the biggest bitch I've ever seen in anime. Throughout the whole anime she is a jerk towards almost every single person she comes into contact with. If there was an award for the worst tsundere, she would take first place, no questions asks. If I had Kirino as a sister, I'm not sure I could live my life without strangling her once. Character development? Hardly. From episode 1 to the last episode, she was a conniving, bossy, stuck up, spoiled brat. The constant insults and abuse to her brother were funny at first, but eventually, they just became obnoxious and infuriating. Oh, and she's also into incest, which is icing on the (really shitty) cake.

3 most overrated anime

"Overrated- have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved."

Since anime is completely subjective, this is just what anime that I think are highly praised by a lot of people, but isn't actually that good. Sorry if one your favorites is on here, but anyways...


3. Sword Art Online

When I first heard the synopsis of SAO, I was extremely excited to begin watching it, and it started out as a good anime with a very original and cool idea for an anime. Since I like RPGs, this was like heaven to me. If only the second half had been as good as the first half.... Most of the original cast is set aside except for Kirito, so all the time developing them felt completely wasted. The random as hell incest thrown in just adds to my dislike of the second half. Kirito is also one of the most bland boring main characters I've ever watched. He has no personality at all, and he's a master at almost everything he does, and no reason is given why. Wasted potential is my main gripe with SAO though

2. Angel Beats

Angel beats is what I would call the perfect definition of a rushed anime. I feel if the studio making Angel Beats could have made it into a 24 episode anime, it would have been much better and more fleshed out. Sadly that's not the case. I also don't know why they added 3 episodes of filler when it was already such a short series. Back to the rushed part; The plot is very slow paced until about the last 2 episodes, then immediately starts going fast, leaving unanswered questions and loose ends galore. Add in the fact that all the characters are walking and talking heavily used stereotypes, and you end up with Angel Beats. 


1. Naruto

One of the most popular ongoing manga/anime series, Naruto has been a huge success here in America as well. Despite that, I still think it's a quite overrated anime. Let's start with the absurd amount of filler episodes. I'm completely fine with some filler, just as long as it doesn't get to a point where it's been  5...6... even 7 episodes of straight filler that add nothing to the story. Another problem is the also absurd amount of flashbacks. They add a flashback from 3 episodes ago, that clearly isn't needed, and the FLASHBACK takes up the whole episode that I'm watching. Frustrating. The constant talking during the epic fight scenes also detracts from the show, as unnecessary talking that last half the show really ruins the fight. Overall a pretty mediocre anime that I dropped after finally losing hope that it would get better.
