Characters that Ruin a Show

[Suwako Moriya]

It's quite obvious there will be characters in a show one does not care for, dislike, or even hate. This is perfectly normal and sometimes you can enjoy a show despite these characters. However for whatever reason there are some characters that just flat out manage to ruin the experience. This topic is for that purpose. Remember I am not talking simply about disliking a character. The character has to more or less ruin the experience for you. Please keep that in mind. Now then I'll get started.

Please Teacher: The lead male who I don't care to remember and Mizuho were extremely boring. Sadly even the supporting cast could not make up for the blehness of the leads. This show was ruined because I couldn't give a damm about the forced main plot.

Seto no Hanayame: The very series that inspired this topic. The father of the lead girl and his gang were bad enough. However the introduction of a certain girl named Maki in episode 03 is just making the chore even more of a chore to watch. As of episode 04 I am dropping the series. Perhaps I'll read spoilers after the final episode airs, but I have better shows to spend my time on.

[Fluffy]

The lead male in Kaibutsu Oujo completely kills the show. They've taken the "wussy male punching bag" meme and created the ultimate annoying patsy.

[something]

It's hard for one character to ruin a show for me. I can think of characters who have severely brought shows down, like whatshisname in Hand Maid May, or Otohata Rei in Super Gals, but since both of those shows are still, in my estimation, really good, I don't think that even the worst character can destroy a show.

...Well, ok, unless it's the main character, obviously :sd:

[Arcturus]

Isurugi from Airbats. While it's true that many male leads in anime are spineless (especially when ladies are involved), Isurugi is both spineless and a total jerk. He doesn't deserve Haneda or Mitaka. I think the show would have been just fine without him.

[Suwako Moriya]

It's hard for one character to ruin a show for me.

To be clear it doesn't have to always be a single character. In some cases it could be the accumulative effect of multiple characters working together to ruin a show.

Well, I must disagree with you. Mizuho and Kei were very interesting I thought. The only reason I can see for why you did not like them is that you must not have a soul.

Show ruining character for me: Leon and May from Kaleido Star New Wings. I find it impossible to believe ANYONE would tolerate their behavior in a professional performance troupe. Their collective presence on the Kaleido Stage always ruined "suspension of disbelief" for me.

[The Great Bear]

Naru, Keitaro and Kaolla Su combine to make Love Hina a big steaming pile of _________ (you may fill in the blank as you like).

Not even Motoko can save it.

[ADC]

Naru, Keitaro and Kaolla Su combine to make Love Hina a big steaming pile of M-F'in WIN (you may fill in the blank as you like).
I filled in the blank as I liked. And it's in your quote. :P

[Relwarc]

The entire cast of Nadesico ruined Nadesico for me... :( Other than that, I can't think of any other character(s) at this time that have spoiled a show for me.

[martod]

Volcan in Sorcerous Stabber Orphen. The show wasn't a classic on its own, but he singlehandedly sent the show into "Bad" territory.

[ADC]

It's especially bad when the title character is the concrete shoes that pulls the show down to the mob graveyard, as in the case of Nurse Witch Komugi-chan. Not that she exactly helped the situation in The SoulTaker, but that show was lousy for other reasons.

[The Great Bear]

I would say]


I filled in the blank as I liked. And it's in your quote. :P

:shrug:

That show just really ended up annoying me, and there was little they could have done to change that opinion, except rewrite Naru and Keitaro, while removing Kaolla completely.

[Relwarc]

Volcan in Sorcerous Stabber Orphen. The show wasn't a classic on its own, but he singlehandedly sent the show into "Bad" territory.

If you watched the dub (as I did), you may not have gotten the whole story as I believe many things that Volcan said were modified. He's supposedly less annoying on the Japanese track. I enjoyed Orphen (by steadfastly ignoring the two trolls who reminded me of Jesse and James of Pokemon fame :( ) but the second season made me want to chuck the whole thing out the window. I'd have to add to my previous Nadesico comment that just about everyone in Orphen II made me hate Orphen II.

[Lego]

I'd really have to go with Rose from FMA. Yeah I know it's an unpopular choice, but come on. She only pops up once or twice and they wussed out of saying that she was inevitably assaulted as she has the baby that Dante wants to sacrifice later in the show.

[something]

I just started watching my Sister Princess thinpak set and within 30 seconds of meeting him, I already know that the douche with the scarf that gets on the boat with Wataru and Mami is going to be a character I'll be nominating in these threads a lot.

What is with the visceral need so many anime writers have to include "wacky flamboyant comic relief" characters like this that ARE NOT FUNNY?

Oh well, a dozen or so cute girls OUGHT to eat up enough screen time that he doesn't piss me off TOO much, but... just seeing a character like him enter a show is always incredibly frustrating.

[Suwako Moriya]

Well, I must disagree with you. Mizuho and Kei were very interesting I thought. The only reason I can see for why you did not like them is that you must not have a soul.

If having a soul means liking those two then I'm glad I lost mine in a game of marbles. :P Seriously I refuse to like either of them and since they were the main focus.

It's already clear from past posts that I have a liking for Sister Princess. Especially Yotsuba and Rin. However I can state that yes Yamada the character you're talking about clearly does have show-ruining potential. I think the person who came up with him was playing a cruel joke or something along those lines.

I'm on like ep 4 or something now, and while every minute he's in it is torture, at least he's not in it TOO much.

The show isn't really clicking with me quite yet, but I've at least taken to Mami, Sakuya and Aria, with a couple others potential likes as there's more of them. ...Then again this thread isn't about SisPri but whatever =P

[Splitter]

Nina and her Electra complex made most of Mai Otome close to unbearable for me. The only reason I finished it was the Rie Tanaka-flavored joy that was Tomoe.

[StudioZEL]

The main female character and four main male characters from Hana Yori Dango.

I hated them so much that (this was a VHS fansub I watched at the time), after watching just one episode, I took the tape upstairs, used a hammer on the cassette so we could get at the tape and rip it out, and set it in the fireplace to burn!

Yes, this is the only anime that has *ever* made me want to do that. What gives? >> <<

EDIT: While I'm at it I'm gonna add the male students in Kodomo no Omocha. When I saw them bullying one of the girls in the class in an early episode by pushing her into a water fountain with a broom or something, I simply could not watch anymore.

[Sensuifu]

the monkey crew + friend in Jubei-Chan 2. Severely killed half the series for me.

[Andrew Cunningham]

I couldn't think of anything when I saw the topic, but that's a good example. Liked the first Juubei-chan, hated the Russian girl in the second so much I never watched another episode.

[ADC]

the monkey crew + friend in Jubei-Chan 2. Severely killed half the series for me.
Which is a bummer because they were awesome in the first series. What ruined J2 for me, though, was largely the awful job of re-casting. Hmm, maybe that's another thread: Show Ruining Voice-Actors.

[DrMM]

Miaka from Fushugi Yuugi. It's fairly normal for me to dislike a main character or find the side-characters ten million times more appealing than the main character, however that usually doesn't turn me off of a show completely.

In the case of Fushugi Yuugi, I honestly hated Miaka so much that it was a constant struggle to watch the series, even though there were a few of the side characters I found interesting (though I didn't love any of them). If Miaka had been different, I could probably have enjoyed FY since I really liked the concept. Alas, Miaka made the series torture to watch -- I only continued because I'd promised a friend I'd watch the whole thing (and she'd watch Slayers). Neither one of us ended up happy.

Heh. By stopping there, you really, really missed one of the big points of Kodocha -- the transformation of Hayama (who's quite a sympathetic character, really). He's honestly one of my favorite characters ever.

[tmchiba]

I see I am not the only one to dislike Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi, though I will add it wasn't just Miaka that killed that show, though she contributed a great degree. I also couldn't stand Yui. Both characters really destroyed the series, which did have plenty of interesting other characters, though not enough to save it.

Also I'm going to go out on a limb on this one, but if one actually removed all the human characters from Pokemon and had the creatures just fighting with each other, it would be a far more watchable and enjoyable experience.

[EmperorBrandon]

Hmm... I'm curious (never seen any of Jubei-chan). Are you saying the change in the lead character's VA (in Japanese) ruined the show?

As far as Sister Princess goes - I think I was slightly amused by Yamada at first, but really only because I thought he was a girl with the voice Greg Ayres used in the dub :sd: I thought Wataru and several of the girls seemed to be boring archetypes (as much as Yamada was), which was show-ruining enough as it is for me. I only saw the first volume, though, so I'll admit I didn't give it much of a chance.

[DanielJr]

The main girl from Marmalade Boy. Arrggg... terrible character for a mediocre soap-opera.

Then there's Asuka, Rei, and Shinji... yyyyeep.

[Kurou]

Kira Yamato, Gundam Seed (and Destiny).

Souichiro Hoshi's voice grates on my nerves anyway, especially that crying noise he does constantly for the first half, where he's doing his best dying animal impression.

The fact they took every cliche about Gundam I hated and crammed it into one character didn't help, either.

[ADC]

Hmm... I'm curious (never seen any of Jubei-chan). Are you saying the change in the lead character's VA (in Japanese) ruined the show?
It was an awful distraction, at the very least. The original actor, Konishi Hiroko, really nailed the role in the first season, while Horie Yui (a very talented actor in her own right) was, in comparison, exactly wrong. The second series was inferior even discounting this change (according to me), so I can't say Yui ruined it, but she sure helped it on its way to the used DVD shop.

[Relwarc]

Kira Yamato, Gundam Seed (and Destiny).

The fact they took every cliche about Gundam I hated and crammed it into one character didn't help, either.

You're so right! Even though I own all of Gundam SEED (except for 10), I have yet to make it past disc 4 to this very day. Serves me right for buying before viewing (had massive backlog at the time). I'm a bit of a "buy one, buy them all" collector so that's what ultimately did me in. :sigh:

The idea of GSeed Destiny makes me nauseous. :(

[roastedpekingduck]

I stopped at Disc 1. :P The war with pacificistic teenagers that still have to kill has been retread so many times that Code Geass, though by no means original, seemed really fresh in contrast to most shows Sunrise have done. I'm very lucky my Gundam Seed v1 was just a gift from someone.

[EmperorBrandon]

I was just curious on that. I haven't gotten to hear any major roles of Hiroko Konishi's since hearing her as Sae. It's a shame she was forced out of voice acting, though (seemed she had quite a sweet voice)

[Fencedude]

EDIT: While I'm at it I'm gonna add the male students in Kodomo no Omocha. When I saw them bullying one of the girls in the class in an early episode by pushing her into a water fountain with a broom or something, I simply could not watch anymore.

...I'm sorry, but thats just stupid. You managed to COMPLETELY misinterpret the point the show was making there. (and later it comes back and further deals with the trauma the girl went through)

[The_Mahou]

the monkey crew + friend in Jubei-Chan 2. Severely killed half the series for me.
The Monkey Boyz + Bantaro actually made the show tolerable, IMHO. Jiyu and Freesia annoyed the piss out of me in J2.

With the exception of FOUR characters, the entire cast of Infinite Ryvius also annoyed me. Especially the angstastic Aiba Brothers and Aoi. There was a point in the latter half of the show when I was hoping that Faina would be the one to kill Aoi.

[Bibulb]

It's especially bad when the title character is the concrete shoes that pulls the show down to the mob graveyard, as in the case of Nurse Witch Komugi-chan.

I have a buddy who can't watch NieA_7 for precisely that reason - she just drove him nuts.

(That this is the salient point of her character, well...)

No, I can see that being triggery. If it pushes the right buttons to squick you sufficiently, you just can't watch any more. End of story.

(On the other hand, I agree that what they were doing with that and how they return to it are interesting and well-done. It's a shame if someone does feel they have to miss it.)

[pianocello]

Vandread - Hibiki Tokai made the show almost unbearable for me. I wished that he would just die. Frankly speaking, Bart and the doctor would make better male leads.

[Buckeye]

Luffy from One Piece ruined the show, and this is more than because of that voice that 4Kids gave to him. On that alone, Sanji would have been it. But the problem with Luffy is that his antics and his unsurpassed stupidity get his pirate crew in way too much unnecessary trouble. I found this to be vary annoying. I first noticed this when during the Captain Kuro arc, Luffy and Usopp were spying on Kuro and Jango about how they were attacking the village in hopes of getting a sick girl's will, but Luffy blew their cover by shouting out to them and was put to sleep. Usopp was helpless because no one would believe him. Not to mention his outfit doesn't exactly strike fear like a typical pirate is supposed to be as it just looks silly.

I don't think it's stupid. I don't deal well with things that I interpret to be torture, and well, that scene struck me as they were torturing that poor girl for no good reason. Not to mention that at that time, the boys were clearly enjoying what they were doing (and I'm a believer in the idea that kids aren't stupid and innocent and don't know what they're doing. I believe kids know full well what they're doing).

I don't do well with torture, esp. torturing of kids. I consider inhibiting their ability to breath such a device. It's actually one of the major reasons I just can't watch most of hentai, 'cause like, 70-80% of it is girls getting raped by whatever, and I don't deal well with that (I consider rape to be a form of torture as well). >> << I know it makes me kind of a pussy, not being able to deal with that in a show. But it does, I just don't deal well with it.

[Orihara_Kaoru]

Okay, she's not ruining the show for me, but Meroko from Full Moon is severely decreasing my enjoyment.

She's just so immature and childish, and she causes more trouble than she's worth. Gah. Luckily, Takuto is fine and Mitsuki is sweet, so it makes up for it. I wouldn't mind her antics so much if she was a little less shrill.

[meganly_chan]

That little girl with the pig-tails (right now her name escapes me) from Daa! Daa! Daa! Her and that stupid tricyle, going around yelling "My darling Ruuuu!" and coming in at the most inconvenient or unexpected moments. She dampens any episode where she has a large role. I just don't like her.

[Ty]

I would have loved Zero no Tsukaima if not for Louise. God I wanted to choke that wench. I didn't think it was possible for a cute female character to rub me the wrong way that much.

[Suwako Moriya]

I see I am not the only one to dislike Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi,

I have no real opinion on her myself since I barely watched the series. It wasn't that I hated the show so much as I was distracted by other things and lost track of it. Thus I never bothered to collect it like with several other series. However I have noticed over the years that a lot of people despise her. In fact she may be one of the most hated characters in the existence of anime. At least based on my memory and perception of posts I've read over the years.

[Njr Scrawl]

Asuka in Evangelion. Shinji & Rei were just getting friendly, before & after Operation Yashima, & Misato was the motherly commander. It was all good. Then the red-headed brat was introduced, Rei became a foil/verbal punchbag for her tantrums, & Shinji didn't do much better. No wonder in EoE he wasn't too keen to go fight alongside her (Asuka)

Tina in Ai Yori Aoshi. I wanted more private, sincere romance scenes in the shows, & Tina is always there spoiling chances.

I agree about Naru in Love Hina. Get her out & get Mutsumi in!

Not about Miaka & Yui in FY though. The girl in Eikoden, though, she can go.

Skuld in Ah!/Oh! My Goddess. Another annoying brat & the 1st I disliked in anime.

Komatsu & Hatta in KOR. More annoying than Hikaru!

Getting serious..Rumiko Takahashi series;

Urusei Yatsura; Ten, Cherry, Ryounsuke's father.
Maison Ikkoku; Mrs Ichinose
Ranma; Akane; Ranma-kun (stay changed!), Happosai
Inu Yasha; not seen enough

Generally, I don't like comic relief characters in any show.

I believe kids know full well what they're doing).

I'm not going to disagree with you that what they were doing was a form of torture nor will I disagree that the boys were enjoying what they were doing too much for my comfort. Boys Over Flowers could honestly have been a favorite series of mine if a particular scene had not been included (and people who have watched this will probably know exactly what scene I'm talking about). I still enjoy the manga and enjoyed the rest of the anime following that scene but one single scene still resonates in my mind and keeps me from enjoying the series the way I could. There are a lot of fans who don't understand why I can't get over that scene, since it takes place early in the series and is actually a bit of a catalyst for change in the male lead. I know that, but that scene is still not something I can just 'get over'. Therefore, I'm probably one of the last people who will insult you for finding that scene in Kodocha a turn off.

However, by stopping where you did (assuming that you stopped right there and didn't finish the rest of the disc) I will say that you missed out on a lot of the reasons why that scene is there. Believe it or not, there's a reason why Hayama acted that way towards Mami and while it's probably not a good one, it's understandable and makes him into a fairly sympathetic character. And while you say that you believe kids understand what they're doing (and I agree), you also should realize that kids are also able to change and may regret the things they did in the past. Again, by stopping where you did, you miss out on the fact that Hayama actually regrets his actions (does that excuse the monkey-boys -- no, but they're the followers, not the leader). There's even a really great episode later in the series about Hayama's regrets.

I hope you haven't gotten rid of that disc because I really wish that you'd give Kodocha a second chance and at least finish the first disc (actually, the first six episodes end that particular arc).

[Kiggy]

The entire cast of Nadesico ruined Nadesico for me... :( Other than that, I can't think of any other character(s) at this time that have spoiled a show for me.

But I love all (OK, most) of the characters in Nadesico, especially the pilot chicks.

However, Megumi and Erina should have been tied inside the Nadesico when the crew sent it into hyperspace forever at the end of the final episode.

[untoldsorrow]

The lead male in Kaibutsu Oujo completely kills the show. They've taken the "wussy male punching bag" meme and created the ultimate annoying patsy.

I just watched episode 1 today and i 100% agree. I will be dropping this show just because I will not be able to stand him. Its annoying when alot of the lead sports characters are like that, thats why I love Prince of Tennis. Ryoma is such an arrogant asshole, lol.

[untoldsorrow]

Funny how my gf says Haruhi from Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ruins the show. She could not watch any more of it because she got on her nerves. Only episode she could watch was ep 00 since she was hardly in it.

[Ty]

I can actually envision that. Haruhi is a kind of charater who's extremely polarizing. People tend to either love her or hate her.

[Dylonius Funk]

I'd really have to go with Rose from FMA. Yeah I know it's an unpopular choice, but come on. She only pops up once or twice and they wussed out of saying that she was inevitably assaulted as she has the baby that Dante wants to sacrifice later in the show.

She appears in the movie, though only for a quick cameo and she seems fine.

Something, i do agree with you about Yamada, though i tolerate him simply because he's voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, whos work as Raimon Tarou is Eyeshield 21 is made of pure win. VOICE ACTING MAX! :D
Oh yeah and i guess he's also good as Inuyasha and Usopp as well :sd:

[itsuka]

While it had a lot of other flaws, the character that totally ruined E's Otherwise was Asuka. The combination of cute and clumsy is horrible most times, but in that series it was extremely nauseating. Every minute the other characters had to deal with her I felt very sorry for them.

I had the same type of problem with Orphen. I liked the lead, the trolls were annoying enough, but Chloe was so horribly, she prevented me from ever finishing the show.

[Dolza]

While I was watching Robotech in the 80's I really wanted Mimay to be killed.
And I wanted the Mach 5 to get rear-ended by the Mammoth Car while Spritle and Chim-Chim were in the boot.
Man am I old.

[ZetaEpyon]

A couple that come to mind for me...

Yano in Bokura ga Ita drives me insane because he's just an ass. It's a sad state when you're rooting for the male lead in a romantic show to lose.

While I have no real beef with Kira in Gundam SEED/Destiny (he does get a lot better throughout SEED, imo), I DO have a problem with Shinn Asuka in Destiny. God, he was terrible.

Shin was also bad but also got to bring in Athrun. As much of a whiner and loser Shin was, Athrun was an idiot. He's blind to everything but orders, you though that he might have figured this out in Seed but it continues in Destiny. You just wanted to kill them both in Destiny. Kira gets much better throughout Seed and his character stayed the same in Destiny unlike Athrun.

[Chloe]

I really don't think I can come up with one character who RUINED a show for me. I am extremely forgiving in almost any case; I was really sympathetic with Miaka in FY for example. I don't get the hate towards her at all. If anything, it was that blond gf of hers who also came over, she rubbed me the wrong way more then Miaka did.

Still I can mention a few who came pretty close. If there had been more of Mr. Kimura in Azumanga Daioh!...I don't know what I would have done. Just what the hell were they thinking??!! He so does not belong in that show. I mean you could do almost ANYTHING else with his screen time, and end up with something better. Particularly early in the series; his later bits with Kaorin and his wife were much,much funnier and less 'EEEEWWWWW' then the previous. Though I will admit, Kaorin's dialogue at the culture day?? where she got to dance with Sakaki and then Kimura would not have been the same without him. :>

Ten-chan in UY I think was absolutely neccesary; he is Ataru's strongest rival for a great deal of the time. Especially for Lum's time. ;) Cherry however, I can agree with as being totally obnoxious far too often. Maybe almost as bad as Ryuunosuke's dad. Both of which, however, have the saving grace of being minor characters is a huge ensemble show. If they are annoying you, don't worry; the next episode probably won't even have them in it. :D

Other then those people, I can't think of anyone who is even as remotely as annoyimg.

[cassius335]

Also I'm going to go out on a limb on this one, but if one actually removed all the human characters from Pokemon and had the creatures just fighting with each other, it would be a far more watchable and enjoyable experience.

Conversely, I haven't been able to watch the Mystery Dungeon Special yet because of the lack of human characters. Too great a change. Another "Island of The Giant Pokemon", with the Pokemon getting subtitled, would be fun though.

While he's still cut from the same cloth, I didn't get that feeling off him in the manga. I wonder how much of it was created by the anime padding each chapter out to a full episode - this leaves him wandering around not understanding anything for a lot more of each episode.

[Crocodile]

Funny how my gf says Haruhi from Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ruins the show. She could not watch any more of it because she got on her nerves. Only episode she could watch was ep 00 since she was hardly in it.

*high fives your gf*

I know that practically everybody in the anime community faps to this show but I personally can't remember the last time I wanted an anime character to die in a fire as badly as I wanted her to. Her and Mikuru made the show insufferable for me. *Spits on them!*

[something]

He doesn't actually "ruin" the show, but since I just started watching my My~HiME DVDs (since Vol. 7 finally came in not too long ago), I feel compelled to reiterate my hatred for Tate. Die die dieeeeeee

[Lego]

I love how everyone calls him TOT - A
