Sometimes, the decisions you make kill you. *That* is life as well, enurtsol.

I'd personally vote for Kira Yoshikage who spoiler[died because an ambulance hit him], but I guess not enough people have read JoJo part IV to be on the list.

did you read the spoilers that is quite a bit more then a mistake. someone makes when they are young, that is sexual predator you will end up in jail for sure later on in life behavior.


The more they need to be helped.

I was already hating Alucard in the previous Hellsing Ultimate episode due to his unnecessary actions to those human soldiers, and yet when I saw a convention screening of it mixed members of the audience were cheering regardless. When Alucard killed Rip Van Winkle the way he did--nobody cheered, not one. Whatever that could mean, I couldn't begin to say. It just solidified me not caring for Alucard as a protagonist so much.


I had the opposite reaction. I was rather pleased to see a non-human protagonist showing no mercy to humans because he didn't see that as somehow making them any less his enemy. And I can't really say I was too upset that he takes things as far as he does since they make it pretty clear that he is a monster.

I'm one of the few people who must have loved Light and was unhappy to see him go Sad lol. I think madhouse staff liked him too and gave him a more dignified death.

Shishio's death looked better in the manga, but Steve Blum's laughter made it chilling, and awesome.

Shishio's death was pretty random but the one from the film was ridiculous. spoiler[Shishio had a wound in his head so when Kenshin hit him in the head (very anticlimatic move), it split in two. Shishio used his last forces to somehow rejoin his head...] No wonder most people dislike that film

The last episode of Death Note had me acting in ways I never did watching the end of an Anime series--I was jumping up and down, cheering, clapping, what have you. After over 30 episodes of watching Light do almost nothing but the disgusting and the despicable, this was my payoff, and it definitely was one hell of a payoff. Even though the movies told a shorter digest version of the same story, it still had the same effect on me.

Though her death wasnt really that cringe worthy. Though what happened to Luke Valentine when spoiler[ he became dog food LITTERATERLY to Alucard's hounds ] was more cringe worthy than Light or Van Winkle.

Aleast they didn't put Lelouch in this list cause it would restart the whole light / lelouch debate all over again cause there were at times he acted like a villian more than light.

All evil people need to be helped. That doesn't mean they shouldn't pay for their crimes, or the villains reaping what they have sown.

There are always consequences to your actions, always. You play false with a girl's heart, even the world could be destroyed (at least in anime). In real life, even good people snap when pushed to the breaking point.

Makoto got what he deserved. Was it right, no. But when you play with fire, you are going to get burned. He didn't care who he hurt, so why should anyone care about him.

Which crime?

Someone gets you pregnant (for which, unless it's rape, you're half-responsible) and cheats on you, hope he grows up, learns his lesson, and becomes a good father to your baby. Or at the very least, have the state make him pay child support for many years. You don't kill the child's father and ruin all 3 lives.

A previous poster listed all the evil things he did. This is not a character that was going to learn any life lessons. That said, I think you are misunderstanding where I am coming from.

What you stated is a dream of what should have happened. A standard we should all apply ourselves to reach. But it is not a 100% reality. Love makes people irrational and sometimes dangerous. You mess around with the wrong person or push someone too far, you have to accept responsibility for the consequences of your actions. Doesn't matter if the push back is illegal or destructive to your victim, it was your actions that got the ball rolling. Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

At least Shuffle never ended that that cause the main protagonist wasn't an jackass.

though that girl who he was living all this time that was revealed to have "emotional problems" could have done the same thing like what that girl did to Makoto.

However if there was any villain that should have gotten a cringe worthy death , its Izaya Orihara from the Durarara!! (TV) series. Now that is one bastard that should have gotten one.
