Anime Characters I Loved From Shows That Sucked

They say a show is only as good as its characters. But equally important are the plot, premise, direction and story-telling. And rarely can one or two good characters save a show that lacks several or all of the critical aspects required to make a good show, which is unfortunate, because sometimes a terrible show will have a character that I absolutely adore.

So this week I will be looking at those characters who had absolutely no chance of making my top character lists because the sheer suckitude of the show they inhabited ruined any impact they could make, whether it be because I couldn’t sit through the entirety of the show or the show was just so bad that, save for these characters, its awfulness is its sole memorable quality, which is a shame because in a good show these characters could have been major contenders in their own right. Instead they’re just the cream that has managed to rise above the curdled mess below.

So without further ado, in no particular order, here are those memorable characters from shows I wish I could scrub from my memory, with my reasons for liking the character as well as why the show was less-than-stellar (to put it generously).
