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.

5 things I hate about anime

Anime. One of my favorite things in life that's always provided me with quality entertainment for years. Now while I love anime, there's some things that I see across multitudes of anime that I  really hate. Here are 5 things that I HATE about anime.

Random drops in animation quality.

Good, quality anime.

Anime caught my eye because of how different it looked compared to american cartoons. I loved the way everything looked and how everything was animated in general. But  negative aspect I see in a lot of anime is animation quality. One example of this is Welcome to NHK. The first 3 episodes looked just fine, and then I get to watching episode 4, and it looks like shit. It is really hard to look at, and even harder to take seriously because of how bad it looks compared to before. I'm not asking for perfect animation either, I'm just asking for consistency, whether it be high quality OR low quality. Some people aren't bothered by the animation at all, but for me, it's a pet peeve. 

Overly oblivious/beta main characters.

Most whiny and spineless character of all time.
Another huge annoyance I have with anime is the mass amount of anime where the main character is completely clueless when it comes to the opposite sex, or they're just so dense that they don't even notice another character likes them, even though it's OBVIOUS. Some examples of anime with a main character like this include Seitokai Yakuindo, B Gata H Kei, Elfen Lied, and Mirai Nikki. It gets to a point where I end up hating the main character because they're so beta and whiny (Looking at you Yuki from Mirai Nikki). Now I know there are people like that in the world, and that's fine, but lately It's gotten to the point where almost every new anime I watch, the main character is completely spineless. I just want SOME anime to have a beta main character, not MOST!

This is who dies to keep you safe

Most of the main characters are teens.

Again, I like a lot of anime where the main cast are teenagers, I just don't like it when EVERY anime is about teenagers, no matter what the situation. Oh the world is ending? BETTER SEND A TEENAGER TO SAVE US! The best fighters in the world? ALL TEENS! The people who defend you from witches? 14 YEAR OLDS! *Cough Madoka cough.* It has gotten to the point where I just assume every animes main characters are all teenagers, unless said otherwise. I'd like to see more anime involving full grown adults, as a more grown and mature main cast is a breath of fresh air in the high school ridden anime realm. 

        

Too many filler episodes

Nothing makes me want to drop an anime more than excessive amount of filler episodes. Some examples of this include Naruto, Bleach, and Detective Conan. I don't ate filler episodes, that's not my point. In Code Geass, for example, I love the school festival filler episodes, because they're entertaining AND don't go on for too many episodes. But an anime like Naruto, for example, has a LOT of filler episodes. If you don't look up an episode filler list for Naruto, you could spend over over a DAY watching filler that is completely pointless and doesn't add to the story in any way. But even this isn't my biggest problem with anime, my biggest problem with anime is...

Bland and overused archetypes for characters.

Archetype- a very typical example of a certain person or thing


 For this, I'm talking about when an anime is full of walking and talking archetypes that aren't anything more than that. For example, in a lot of anime, there;s the "shy and awkward" type, the " talkative pervert" type, the "airhead with big boobs" type, the "emotionless and quiet" type, and so on and so forth.  There's a lot more, but I'm sure you can think of a few. Anyways, a character CAN have one of these archetypes and still be an amazing character. For example, Yugi Nagato from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a common archetype (emotionless, quiet), but is still a very great character, because she changes over the course of the anime and is a memorable character. But in a lot of anime, the characters offer nothing other than that specific archetype, and stay that way throughout the show. An example of a show that's guilty of this is Demon King Daimao. I do like the show, but all the characters are pretty much specific archetypes and aren't memorable or original in any way.
