Most hated character

Which anime character do you absolutely loathe?  For me, it would have to be Shinn Asuka from Gundam Seed Destiny.

The protaganist in Neon Genesis Evangelion, or the main character in Ichigo 100%.

The protaganist in Neon Genesis Evangelion,
QFT.

Shinn Asuka was also abysmal, but since he was modeled after Shinji, he doesn't get my vote. He's the quasi Shinji. The Diet Coke of Shinji. Just one calorie - not quite enough.

Shinji is certainly an archetype of a terrible main character.

Fortunately I seem to forget such things after I have buried a series into my archives, but one bonehead I haven't forgotten is Keel from Tide-Line Blue. He must be one of the most useless dolts ever to have been graced with the role of a main character.

Shinji is the most human character I've seen developed for an anime, he's a major depressed, socially phobic, emotionally stunted, terrified little boy, with major abandonment issues and an oedipus complex. In spite of the fact that he's about as messed up emotionally as you can get short of suicidal, he's all but forced into being saviour of the whole damn world.

Shinn Asuka was severly truamatized, possibly explaining most of his actions, however, Gundam Seed Destiny wasn't particularly interested in developing real characters and giving them depth, thus he comes off as a one dimensional anti-hero who can't see anything that's going on around him, much less come to any realizations.

My most disliked character is Naruto, I'm afraid my hatred of him grew considerably as the filler went on. I think what bothers me most about him, aside from his annoying personality, grating voice actor, dumb catchphrase, and endless redundant thematic points, is that they never force him to kill anyone. Everyone else at some point seems to kill someone, they remove him from taking lives because he's a protagonist, it annoys me to no end.

I think I'm going to have to go with the three children in Eureka Seven. Loud, shrill, and they cockblock Renton at every turn.

I completely agree. Shinji is possibly the most realistic character I've seen with clinical depression in any tv show, anime or not.

For some anime I could just say the whole cast of characters, but the characters that really annoy me the most are those stupid cutesy types. I was begging for Lucy to finish Nana in Elfen Lied. Nana could challenge Shinji in a battle of "pre-pubescent angst".

Is there really any type of angst other than pre-pubescent angst? >.< Angst is so lame.

I HATED the villain from the first FMP series. He was such a bastard, yet he had this incredible ability to survive anything and slip through people's fingers again and again.

I bolded the words that describe why I hate him so much. He is a realistic character, which makes it all the easier to hate his guts.

He's so very pitiful, and so very helpless.. it makes me want to want to hug him.

Hikaru in Kimagure Orange Road is hated by a lot of the few who've seen the show.   People misunderstand her somehow when it's obvious she's so innocent. She has no idea she's in the way of Kasuga and Ayukawa.  She isn't like some cunt from a daytime soap opera.  All her haters assume she obviously knows their true feelings for each other, but doesn't care and pretends like she doesn't know.  It's my favorite shoujo anime ever.

And then snap his neck while he's not looking? Me too!
