That orange ninja is the whole reason I haven't even touched anime until Soul Eater showed me the light.FalloutJack said:
Izaya Orihara from Durarara, the guy is a colossal asshole, full stop. who the hell in their right mind manipulates and convinces people to try and kill themselves (among other very despicable things) for shits and giggles?
its very easy to say you wouldn't act the way he does when you haven't experienced that and have the benefit of hindsight, and anyone who says that his reaction wasn't one you'd realistically expect from a socially awkward teenager has either massively unreasonable expectations, or is completely missing the point.
and again, very easy to say get over it when it is something you havent experienced, to be honest i'd be quite worried if a teenager killed someone and DIDN'T lose a wink of sleep over it (its one of those sociopathic warning bells after all)
seriously half of these complaints run along the lines of "realisitc reactions to war/death? in MY giant robot/ninja/fighting animu? what a wuss/pansy/emo they should ditch the dress and grow a pair."
really? the guy was barely into adolescence with a friendless and parentless upbringing is suddenly put into a life or death situation without any say in the matter, and everyone around him only values him as a component for a giant biomecha of death, and you're saying complaining about being put in that situation is not realistic?aaron552 said:

as i pointed out with shinji from evangelion, you can't put a teenager (who lets be honest are not known for mental stability) with parental issues inside a giant robot and throw them into a war and not expect some form of complaint from them, remember they aren't soldiers or adults.Free Thinker said:

I must say... Akemiya form Sasameki Koto. Nonono, don't think I hate transvestites or anything. (One of my best friends is one.) I dislike him for completely different reasons.
He reminds me of the protagonist of the (at best mildly amusing) film Year One, in that he either has no understanding whatsoever of what the word lesbian (Here's a hint, it means she won't go out with you.) means, or he's thicker than a cement milkshake, so to speak. Probably both.
But I don't hate him, much as I don't hate any fictional character. I believe the word hate should be reserved for real life people who commit abhorrent atrocities, not annoying fictional characters.

Tidus from FFX. I know it's not technically anime, but it's anime-ish. His cheesy voice and character gets in the way all the freaking time. And the story barely has anything to do with Tidus besides the fact he's a ghost produced by the fake Zanarkand and he's there to create a link. Other than that it was a fun and colorful game.
Oh god yes, Asuka wouldn't STFU about herself and Yuka was just so whinny and petty... though with Yuka I sort of get it since she thinks Khota is choosing a mentally challenged girl over his mostly functional female cousin...<.<Yureina said:
OT: all of the characters from El Cazador De La Bruja.. they were just so utterly bland and uninteresting... which is in my opinion worse than being a truly terrible character because at least terrible characters can be memorable...<.<
Every single anime character I have ever seen. Except MAYBE Jing from King of Bandit Jing. Even then he was pretty annoying.
I thought Yuka was a type of clingy person that I have personally avoided in the past in the real world despite the fact that it could have resulted in some spicy funtimes. The kind of person who is a little too attached to another person, to the point that it seems a little ridiculous. "Selfish" I think is the word I am looking for. I think for that reason, her character just disturbed me. >_<Sacman said:
You forgot the part where she is on a boat cuddling with the severed head.........yeah......................................Arcane Azmadi said:
Yes the clingy personality is pretty annoying though I wouldn't say I hated her character...well mostly because if you've ever read the manga you'd know she's one of the better characters compared to all of the pointless characters, assholes, and poorly written characters... of which their are quite a few...<.<Yureina said:
Most mangas I've seen use the same stock characters so it's pretty easy to generalize about which ones annoy me. The "cooky/perky/happy-go-lucky/w/e girl" Misa, Orihime etc. Also, the "badass-antihero-rival-who-will-inevitably-have-spikey-black-hair" can either come off as a decently enjoyable character - Saito from Ruroken, Hiei from YuYuH or incredibly self-satisfied, whiny and convinced of their superiority despite losing to the protagonist the whole series -- Vegeta from DBZ, Saskue from Naruto
Yes his obsessive behavior is annoying... but Black Star is Naruto with ADD, ADHD and hyped up on sugar pill and cocaine... he just wouldn't shut the fuck up... not to mention the fact that he has the mental capacity of a 3 year old and throws a ***** fit when he losses... I want to remove his eyes with a rusty spoon...<.<Freezy_Breezy said:
The Gay dude from Guren Lagann (probably a typo there). I'm not homophobic but if anything this dude insults gay people. He's a stereotype and not only that does weird gay mannerisms like hitting on dudes when he clearly knows they are already in a heterosexual relationship or are simply quite straight. The English dub of him really really creeps me out.
The manga is atrocious...<.< it's like pure chocolate... so bad it hurts... it takes everything remotely good about the anime and destroys it...<.<Yureina said:I've never looked at the manga, so I would not know anything about that.Sacman said:
