Yeah, I normally defend tsundere characters but I agree with this one; Naru is just a bitch. :/ @louis. Aw, I didn't think you hated Usagi....:[ I didn't like that scene either but there are 199 other episodes where she acts nicer..... |

If it wasn't for Masashi to have a good sense of writing, I would have wanted everyone in the early Naruto episodes to die minus Naruto and Iruka. I stopped for some reason at the beginning of Shippuden a long time ago, but was there ever a part where someone rubbed into their faces how the majority of Konohagakure snubbed Naruto and treated him awfully? |

You can't just ask me to forget something like THAT ever happened. Unlike most filler in anime, this anime seems to incorporate a lot of "filler" into the appeal of the show, often making it difficult to skip filler and still get the fullest out of the show. As such, I can't just treat this Usagi as though she's a separate entity from the usual Usagi because... she isn't. |

It was off, but I never felt it was "out of the question" for her character to do. Now, Miaka in the last handful of episodes of Fushigi Yuugi wasn't even the same entity as prior to the final arc. She's... CONCERNED WITH OTHER PEOPLE!? WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD!? Madness. |

I think I will always harbor an intense hatred of Kagome from Inuyasha. Like I've felt the series itself was so good and had a really great cast of characters, yet Kagome always seemed to bring this unnecessary teenage melodrama to the show that would sometimes put the story on hold for a bit while she moped around because of reasons. It always seemed silly to me and I feel like the story would benefit if the whole kagome and time travel plot were taken from the show. I'm still leery about romance anime to this day because I'm worried it'll fall to Kagome levels of silly drama. Ugh...it just derails things so much.
I actually read a fan suggested plot line that took the future element out and just kind of rewrote the story without Kagome and it actually sounded like it would have made for a far better anime. |

I thought I disliked her too and then I realized I was listening to Kagome-haters too much because when I went back and rewatched the series ALL the way through, I found myself really liking her and sympathizing with her and now I think she's the best Rumiko Takahashi female protagonist. 
She's not the same girl in the movies....but the movies aren't canon anyway.... |

Kagome was always a great protag until Kikyō became involved. Each time the latter entered the triangle, the former became just a tad more vindictive and abusive towards Inuyasha--but to be honest, I'm not even sure it's Kagome's behaviour that annoys me as much as the show's (read: the others in the cast) insistence on concurrently framing Inuyasha as the deserving two-timer. I'm non-monogamous myself, but even in monogamous terms, it's easy to see that the boy is far less "sleazy" (or whatever) than he is emotionally conflicted. Of course he is: Try having your ex-love interest manipulated in to binding you before dying of her wounds and then finding out about it fifty years later, post-resurrection. The two never got to act on their feelings, let alone go their separate ways, on their own terms--not even fifty years later, when Kikyō died a final death at the hands of Naraku.
It's not the worst-handled situation I've seen, and to Kagome's credit, she acknowledges the above at first. Again, though, it's the framing. |

Low bar to pass, sadly. The only real competition is, in some people's eyes, Lum. And she's a horrible character with some "waifu points" depending on how much you like clingy, desperate, unconditionally doting girls. ... I personally don't care for them, but it seems that Lum's popularity speaks for itself. |

I'd actually have to say that Kyoko Otonashi from Maison Ikkoku is Rumiko Takahashi's best female protagonist!

@louis. True, it's a low bar indeed. Akane is too bitchy, Sakura is too boring, and well, the other series....I haven't seen that much of. Mermaid's Scar has characters that are somewhat.....unmemorable...kinda like Rinne.
I've only read a little of the manga my science teacher gave me in high school....but I can't remember a thing except the tenants always getting drunk.

@Chiibi
Maison Ikkoku is a great love story. Unlike most Takahashi titles it has a beginning and an end and doesn't last forever. It is excellent in both manga and anime format though the two differ a bit in the middle. The tenants are there to make problems for the main couple. Love can't be allowed to run smoothly or there would be no story. |

Not true. The couple in Baby Steps is relatively perfect, but the conflict comes in different ways. |

Lol so does anyone have any new hates this winter season?
I'm happy to report I've picked up seven new shows and so far there is nobody yet. It's refreshing.

Yeah, Shinji. He appears to be an important character in Fate/Extra Last Encore. He's still an asshole. He also somehow has spoiler[a girlfriend] |
