Top Ten Most Hated Characters

Well, I was going to do my review of Sister Princess today, but then I realized I took it off my laptop and need to put it back on in order to get my screenshots, so that gets to wait until at least tomorrow. What to replace it with? After skimming my top 10 lists, I figured why not talk about those people I hate more than anyone else from anime?

Seriously, I cannot guarantee a lack of spoilers in this post by any means, so if you haven't seen something and you plan to, I suggest skipping over my reasons for hating that character

Number Ten: Kadota Kyouhei/Dotachin (Durarara!!)

Kadota is an ex-Blue Square, currently a member of the Dollars. He's actually kind of cool.

Look. It is not Kadota's fault that I hate him. Throughout the course of the series, he didn't do a damn thing to me or anyone I cared about, which is why he's my least-hated of my most-hated. So if he didn't do anything to bring on my hatred, why the heck do I hate him enough to put him on this list at all?

For this, blame the other Durarara!! fans, the ones who decided that art of Kadota/Izaya was a good idea. It is not, in any way, a good idea. Especially when it's Izaya and Kadota kissing in a classroom with Shizuo sitting on the floor outside looking depressed as all hell. No, this is not okay. It's only a result of that piece of art and some others that I hate Kadota.

In fact, as a result of that, I hate basically any given couple if he is a part of it. I have lately come to accept (even love!) him and Chikage, a character who wasn't in the anime. But really...well my husband and I (or should I say my flea and I?) blame Kadota for everything.

Number Nine: Saki Mikajima (Durarara!!)

Saki is...Masaomi's ex-girlfriend re-girlfriend who is in the hospital for the duration of the series.

I don't even feel like justifying my hatred for this bitch. Prettymuch, all her crap with Masaomi? I dislike it. Intensely. The way she said he would always come back to her with that little smiley-smirk that kinda resembles Izaya's but is not nearly as sexy? I hate it. I hate her. I hate that Kida left with her at the end of the anime.

Fuck Saki.

Number Eight: Ash/Angela (Kuroshitsuji)

(As an incredibly random note, it's really hard to write about hating people when there is 'I Can Love You Like That' coming from my media player.)

Okay. First in the anime we got to experience Angela, who was supposed to be this rich dude's maid except she was really creepy and kinda powerful. Then we got Ash, who worked for the queen. I disliked Angela from the beginning, and I thought Ash was pretty hot. Well, then it turned out they were the same damn person and ugh.

I'm pretty sure my reasons for hating him/her/it are pretty obvious to anyone who has seen the series. It was its fault that Ciel's life went how it did, with his parents dying and the original house burning down and all. It was responsible for all of the shit everywhere, basically, minus the Jack the Ripper stuff. It kept switching genders and hitting on Sebastian, and that was probably one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in my anime-watching existence, which is saying something, considering...well, anime. And also, at the end, it was its fault Pluto died.

Plenty of logical hatred there, I think.

Number Seven: Irato (Ghost Hunt)

First of all: 

 

Enough said, I think.

But okay, heard of Elizabeth Bathory, the crazy Hungarian countess from the 15-1600s, who thought that bathing herself in the blood of young virgin girls would keep her young forever? Well Irato is basically the anime version of that chick. He's actually dead at the time of the series, but he's like...refusing to actually go be a normal dead guy and pass on, instead having his two (also dead) servanty guys kidnap young people who come into his creepy-ass house (think Winchest Mansion) and kill them because, as he likes to say in his creepy dead voice, I don't want to die.

Lovely, isn't it?

Yeah, so, I hate him.

Number Six: Megumi Shimizu (Shiki)

For anyone who hasn't seen Shiki, Megumi is a girl who dies right away. I mean really, her corpse is the first thing you see, pre-OP and all. It's pretty awesome. Well, first it seems sad because you don't know anything about her. Then it goes back in time for a minute to before she died and you discover that she was really just a huge bitch. So her death is like woooooooo!!!!. Then Shiki decides to be an asshole, and she rises back to life as a Shiki herself.

So she can keep being a bitch.

And being in love with Natsuno. She kills Tohru because Natsuno is hanging out with him and how dare he be closer to Natsuno than I am. That about sums her up, right there. She spends the entire series being a bitch to quite literally everyone, until the end where she dies a glorious, painful-looking death that personally made me grin demonically.

Number Five: Sunako Kirishikiri (Shiki)

Sunako is the lead little vampire girl (as it is said, she has a mother-daughter relationship with Chizuru and Sunako is the mother) and she's the one who moves her little group to the tiny town and decides to start killing the people and whoever becomes a Shiki, so be it.

I get questioned about this a lot. Why hate Sunako? Well here's why I hate Sunako.

She moves her little group to the tiny town and decides to start killing the people and whoever becomes a Shiki, so be it. Yeah—okay, so you're going to kill the entire population of this town, 1300 people, destroy lives again and again, just so you can have a place to be yourself? Man, fuck you little girl, get a sense of perspective.

Now some people may use my own logic for other things against me—I refuse to hate characters like Kyubey (Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica) and Claude Faustus (Kuroshitsuji II) because I look at them as having a different set of morals, and doing the logical thing for their own kind. So wouldn't it be logical to think that a Shiki should know no other morals than doing what benefits herself? No, because she was a human before she was a Shiki.

So ha.

Number Four: Seishin Muroi (Shiki)

Muroi is the town priest in the series. He starts out as a pretty cool guy—in fact he was my favorite character for a little bit. Then he started socializing with the little girl and I sorta just expected him to die (I expected everyone to die).

Know what he did instead? Betrayed his best friend (the incredibly bad-ass town doctor, Ozaki) and fucking joined with the Shiki. And protected Sunako. And stopped Ookawa from killing the hell out of her. Then he went and lived.

God, I hated him so much at the end of the series.

Number Three: Soushu (Kyou Kara Maou!)

(Note: I couldn't find a picture of Soushu so this is just the Original King, who Soushu possesses. So just picture this being more purple, for some reason.)

The ultimate villain of the first two seasons (season three went an entirely different route and was not as good), Soushu. He'd been sealed in some boxes but he infected the Original King and there was this entire long situation that I'm not even going to try explaining here—if you want to know, go watch the series.

Suffice it to say, he caused some seriously bad stuff to go down at the end of season two, and it was really intense when you're as attached to the characters as I am, and as such I raged at him. I raged hard.

Number Two: Miyo Takano (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Kai)

Takano is the ultimate bitch. For the entirety of the first season, and part of the second, she seems like a normal nice, somewhat creepy (“you'll have to bury the body deeper than that” excuse me, what?) woman who just happens to die a lot. And everyone in Higurashi seems to die a lot, so it's not like it's anything exceptionally odd. Just happens.

So then you get to the truth and it turns out—this whole thing where everything in the town is repeating and poor like Rika has to suffer through it again and again, always dying, the entire town being wiped out? Oh yeah, that's Takano's fault, because she's a crazy evil bitch. It is not possible to like her. And I mean that—I ran a Higurasih panel at Ohayocon and did a show of hands for 'who hates Takano' and every single hand in that room went up. (Okay, one stayed down, but it was my friend who hasn't seen the series so it doesn't count.)

So for being a crazy, evil, causing-all-of-this-crap bitch, I honestly hate Takano with a horrible, powerful passion.

Number One: Near (Death Note)

Near is the detective (and I use that word in the loosest of ways) who takes up the task of hunting for Kira after L is killed. I've tried explaining my hatred of him to friends in the past and it never seems to go very well, because really, I hated him before I even knew much about him. Like—he showed up on the screen, with his stupid little toys and his stupid voice (watched the dub, for the record) and I was immediately all over that hatred.

Then he kept investigating, playing with those toys the entire time and generally being an annoying little brat, and by the way he hated L, whom I of course adore, and urgh. Probably the action I hated most was that he solved the case. Screw that—if L couldn't capture Light, this little bastard shouldn't have been able to capture Light. (And Mikumi was incredibly close to making this list for being a dumbasss and switching the Death Notes out when Light didn't tell him to do that.)

Seriously, Near...there is no one in the anime universe I hate more.

That's all.

Top Ten Anime Girls

Here we have my top ten anime girls! I actually seem to have managed to stick with just anime for this one instead of throwing a random manga lady in there...though admittedly, there are two of them whom I've seen in both mediums at some point or another. It was kind of hard for me to come up with people for this list—there are plenty of girls in anime that I like just fine when I'm watching the series, but not many I'd say I adore and can think of otherwise

Number Ten: Kanade Tachibana(Angel Beats!)

As one of the lead women in Angel Beats!, Kanade (aka Tenshi) caught my eye pretty quickly. In fact, within the first few minutes. What can I say—you stab a guy through the heart to prove he can't really die, that's going to make me interested in you.

I see Kanade as a beautiful character, not only because she's physically very pretty (and there's some amazing art of her out there) but because of her purpose in being. The group initially sees her as an enemy, but really, she isn't. I won't say anything more for risk of spoilers, but basically, Kanade is a good person and it's something that makes me love her.

Number Nine: Misuzu Kamio (Air)

If we met in real life, Misuzu and I would get along very well. She loves dinosaurs. That, in and of itself, tells me we could be friends, because, I too, love dinosaurs. Other than that though. Misuzu is an adorable, sweet young girl who just wants to be happy and make friends. That's the entire reason she starts talking to Yukito in the first episode, is to make a friend—she wants to play.

This girl has one of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever seen in an anime. Cursed to become ill and die when she gets emotionally close to someone, and therefore her aunt, who has been raising her, is forced to act pretty cold to her. It's a depressing thing to think about, and Misuzu...well, Misuzu deserves to be allowed to get close to people. She's such a good girl.

Number Eight: Kotomi Ichinose (Clannad)

The ladies of Clannad are some of my absolute favorites on the whole, and Kotomi is near the very top. Much like me, she is a lover of books, and she's very quiet. Granted, her reasons for being quiet are incredibly different from mine—she has extreme emotional issues and me, I'm just shy. Still, I loved her for being quiet and cute and intelligent yet completely lacking in the common sense department. Besides, her obsession with being called “Kotomi-chan” made me smile.

Kotomi...is a girl that I felt a lot of pity for. Her arc of the anime was one of my favorites to watch, and probably the one I considered the saddest. The way she shut herself down was just...sad. I don't know what other word to use. It made me tear up.

And on a lighter note, Kotomi + violin = don't do it man.

Number Seven: Fuko Ibuki (Clannad)

I am quite positive that it's impossible to watch Clannad and not have an intense urge to glomp Fuko at least once. When I look at her I have those Rena Ryugu “I'm taking it home” moments, because seriously, she's adorable. And she makes me laugh. Like with her starfish—well, that part's just plain cute, but when it comes to the cuts on her hands and how she denies that she's in pain...it's just adorable.

My one regret in watching Clannad was that she didn't wake up earlier. I really wish she had. But I loved the times when she would pop up and do something random and declare that they didn't have to remember yet, that she could wait. She's just so amusing.

Number Six: Rena Ryugu (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Kai)

Oh, Rena...On my list of 'most psychotic anime characters' (actually, that list doesn't exist) she's probably at the top. Or at least in second place, because Mion might just have her beat. But at the same time, despite her utter insanity, she's freaking cute. And I got attached to her throughout the course of the two Higurashi seasons.

That's all.

Number Five: Sakura Kinomoto (Card Captor Sakura)

Sakura is one of the two I've seen in both mediums. I read the Card Captor Sakura manga in its entirety and watched the second movie of the series, though I still have yet to watch the rest of everything that goes with it. Still, I 100% adore this little girl. Not...not in a creepy way. She's just cute and has such a fighting spirit—watching her I always had to cheer her on, kinda like Tomoyo, just without the clear lesbian attraction.

...Uhm, anyway. Watching her capture the Clow cards and develop a relationship with Syaoran made me very happy, and so did her interactions with everyone else. She's such a bright girl. The world needs more people like her.

Number Four: Mai Taniyama (Ghost Hunt)

I think this attachment may have been formed because I've sat through Ghost Hunt about a million times now. I have the dub, so if I need something to play in the background, Ghost Hunt is my go-to series. I've sorta developed a love of Mai. I like her because she's spunky. Naru is her boss, but she doesn't put up with his crap the way everyone else is willing to. If she doesn't like what he's doing, she makes sure he knows it.

So for that, I love her.

Number Three: Celty Sturluson (Durarara!!)

Look man, Celty is undeniably badass. For anyone who hasn't seen Durarara!!...well first of all, fix it—go watch the series, right now. But I was saying she's a Dullahan, a sort of Irish fairy who can control shadows and whatnot. This one doesn't have a head as a result of plot points I shall not disclose. And instead of riding a horse, she rides a motorcycle...which actually is her horse, but still.

Despite being a powerful mythical creature who can't die and heals incredibly fast, she's not always brave. She isn't one of those typical icy bitches who acts like she's the most epic thing ever to walk planet earth—there are moment where she's truly scared, where she throws herself at Shinra and tells him she's scared. It makes her seem to human. She's amazing.

Number Two: Nagisa Furukawa (Clannad)

Clannad has to make one last appearance on this list. I don't even know how to explain my love of Nagisa, because I don't fully understand what it is that I love about her. She's sweet. She's pretty. She doesn't want to cause trouble for anyone. She's...just a wonderful girl all around.

And I'm not going to bother justifying my love of her.

Number One: Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo)

I love the series Jigoku Shoujo, and Ai Enma, Jigoku Shoujo herself, is very much my favorite girl in the world of anime. Ai is obligated to take people to hell for people who wish revenge, and this applies whether or not the person deserves to be sent to hell or not. In one episode, for example, she takes a nurse who is truly a wonderful person, because some drug addict has a problem with her that isn't fully explained—presumably he's just an asshole.

During the first season I didn't have much of a reason to love Ai, I just did. Then season two, Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori, happened. It was...wow. At the end of the season, Ai was forced to take this little boy who didn't at all deserve to be sent to hell. And she brought him back. She was punished for that, harshly. But she did it anyway.

Love her.

This has been, my top ten anime girls.

Homura = Rika?

I know I'm not the only person who noticed this.
