Who do you consider to be the most obnoxious characters in anime? They can be from a series you like, or a series you do not like. He/She can be a character you hate, or one you like. For example, a character who is comically obnoxious could be one you like.
Here are my choices, in no particular order:
Excalibur from Soul Eater. Plainly drawn, and supposedly King Arthur’s legendary sword, Excalibur does get some laughs. Both Soul and Kid find seek out Excalibur hoping control his great strength as a weapon, only to find they would have to follow 1000 rules, and listen to his non-stop chatter. Obnoxious, but still a good comic character.
Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I know some call her hot. Some call her feisty. I call her nothing but a pure lady. Asuka is a complete narcissist who can find fault in everyone else, whether it is there or not. Actually, there is not a single character in NGE which I don’t dislike.
Midosuji from Yowamushi Pedal. Midosuji is the villain of the series. When it comes to bicycle racing, he plays dirty. But that’s the least of it. His long tongue hangs out of his mouth as he slobbers all over everything, he trash talks calling people by insulting names, and he calls everyone “gross,” although he is one of the most gross characters in anime history.
Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece. I did give One Piece a chance. I sat through about 8 episodes before I turned it off for good. Why did I not like the series? Because the main character was stupidly obnoxious. As they can’t kill off the main character in a long anime, I figure nothing would happen which would be worth watching.
Kon from Bleach. Here is another character who is stupidly obnoxious, but he is meant to be as comic relief. And Kon did get a laugh out of me. What makes him really obnoxious though is the way he hits on Orihime and Rukia. What is the sense of that, Kon? You’re a stuffed lion! What can you do?
Ren from Big Windup. I liked this series. Ren is a high school pitcher who doubts his talent, until a female coach and a new catcher recognize his abilities. I did root for Ren, but his wuss act did get old and irritating. That they would not let Ren grow up is the only flaw in this otherwise entertaining series.
Your turn.
