Suzaku from Code Geass. Mmmmm the best way I can describe him was he was that thorn that Lelouch just could never get rid off. The dude was just so hard headed; he couldve helped Lelouch from the get go. A compromise could have happened between the two, but the dude had such an ego. And by the end of the day who was pivotal for the Zero Requiem? Suzaku .-. .
In retrospect, it was fanstatic story telling and I genuinely believed the story does come in full circle but come on, that dude really was Lelouch's kryptonite throughout the show. Wouldnt even had complain if Suzaku had died instead..... :D

@faleagum FR, idk why, but I just did not like Suzaku for the longest time.

It’s been a really long time (years) since I’ve seen this show, so idk if my opinion would still be the same, but Usui from Kaichou wa Maid-sama. Don’t remember the exact reason but I think it had to do with his personality and the way he treated the president. I think harassment was part of it.

But he’s such a beloved character that I feel nervous bashing him.

I also just tend to dislike a lot of main protagonists. Like Gon from HxH or Goku from DBZ. Though those two characters are rather similar.

I find Asuka Langley Soryu, Haruhi Suzumiya, and Taiga Aisaka to all be utterly insufferable, and I'm slightly baffled that so many others are huge fans of these characters.

It's no secret, I absolutely loathe Tohru from Fruits Basket. I find her motivations selfish and her manipulations of the Soumas insufferable. Worst character I can think of in 60 years of watching anime.

@CartoonVelocirap I think their popularity rests in them being unapologetically insufferable. They are who they are, and don't pretend to be something else. And lots of people wish they had that kind of guts.

Don't keep it secret and they're not usually from series I like all that much, but yeah, Lelouch (Code Geass), Levi (AoT), Lena (86), Emilia (Re:Zero) are all pretty popular and I don't like them at all.

I hate Wolfram from Kyo Kara Maoh and that's no secret, he's an abusive bastard that gets romanticized just because he's a hot gay bishounen.

This is a bit specific but I hated gon in the chimera ant arc. I like Gon overall but I hated his character and emotions in chimera ant arc.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

mutsu from Gintama. Seemed so smug, unlikable and annoying since the start and became even worse in later episodes. Luckily almost the entirety of the rest of Gintama is amazing so i can easily forget about her.

Konosuba main characters look like tryhard clowns who end up aren't funny at all, I don't like any of them at all especially Darkness who is disgusting.

@Rinrinka Honestly, I really like Konosuba because all the characters are so dumb, that its funny. But your right about Darkness, shes just weird...

@terralia I totally subscribe to your opinion. He's the blandest JoJo for me.

Easy answer and it’s not a secret, I hate Aizen from bleach I think he is an awful villain and super duper overrated. I have watched all of Bleach btw.

Please stop, I don’t want to see any more Dekugo😭

I don't really keep anything secret on what I like and don't like but I guess every character from Re:Zero (except my boy Wilhelm), and every character from Naruto (except my boy Shikamaru). Now in all fairness I haven't seen Shippuden but if 150 episodes of the OG series doesn't count, then what did I waste my time on? Also I'm not sure if anyone actually likes any of these characters but everyone in Rent-A-Girlfriend can suck my sweaty nuts.

Wait do I have to be a part of the fandom to answer this question?
