Who are the dumbest characters in anime? Here are my choices, in no particular order. More to come if I think of more.

Yui from K-On. Sweet, innocent Yui is a self-taught guitarist with a band formed by members of her high school club. She does have a feel for music, and a genuine talent. However, she has the mentality of a six-year-old. Easily distracted, Yui is just barely making it through high school. But she does look so cute.

Yasuna from Kill Me Baby. Schoolgirl Yasuna wants to be best friends with her classmate Sonja, who happens to be a professional assassin. Not only does Sonja not want to be friends, but dumb-as-a-bag-of-rocks Yasuna just annoys her with her. . . . Idiocy. This is a dumb, but fun anime in which we cheer on the bumbling Yasuna.

Space Dandy from Space Dandy. Most of the cast are idiots, but Dandy is the star so he’s the dumbest of all. He’s kind of a cross between a young Elvis Presley and Johnny Bravo with a little bit of off oatmeal mixed in for his brain.

Mako from Kill la Kill. Mako is the sidekick to series heroine Ryoko. To say Mako is a bit hyper is an understatement. Apparently in achieving her high energy level, Mako blew out a few brain cells.

Patty from Soul Eater. There are many dumb characters in this series, but Patty is the only one who on a major school exam drew a picture of a giraffe. She and her sister Liz serve as weapons for Death the Kid, and despite Liz’ lack of courage and Patty’s non-functioning brain, they are loyal to Kid for giving them a life off the streets. If Patty would only be smart enough to realize the danger. Naw, she’s better off not knowing.

Isaac and Miria from Baccano! They are the dumbest criminals in history. Why would anyone dress as an Indian to rob a mansion? There are many storylines in this series, and Isaac and Miria are supporting players in most all of them. So they really are the life and spirit of the series. But why did they dress as ballplayers for one robbery?

Mayuri from Steins; Gate. Another case of arrested development. Mayuri is in her 20’s, yet can’t enter a room without saying, “Toot, toot, toot!” But she is sweet.

Iwa, Kawa, and Mame from Letter to Momo. This is the only movie on my list, so far. These three youkai are keeping an eye on Momo and her mother. Not exactly fit to be bodyguards, these three demons blunder their way through the human world. On the plus side, they help Momo to say her final goodbye to her late father. But they are still blithering idiots.

You got any?

From Kill la Kill, Mako in action. Even stupidity can be quite clever sometimes.

From Baccano! It takes Isaac and Miria 70 years to figure out they haven't aged. Dumb.

OK. So Ritsu can be pretty dumb as well.

Would you believe this girl is in her 20's?
