Not bad at all

I don't like bossy and close minded protagonist. That always tell other people how to behave, and get mad as soon as someone doesn't act exactly according to how he thinks they should.

He wasn't even 'himself' when he did it. It may count but it's cheap.

Technically Saki is the one who raped him.

>>135708114
Actually he never did. Haruto never actually took responsibility for his actions. He said he would but never had the spine to follow through.

Really can't think of a worse kind of protagonist.

you mean don't do
>>
>>135710102
Because spineless characters are the worst in any show.
>>
The worst anime protags are the ones that don't man up when the situation calls for it and take the coward's way out. Best examples being Shinji and the MC from Charlotte. I'd also add Takeru from Muvluv although that's not really anime. Nothing shows more of a lack of manliness than wussing out when things get hard.
>>
>>135710965
Shinji is well written MC
>>
Can the Americans fuck off with their love of "alpha" tough guy MCs?

Mirai Nikki and EVA wouldn't work at all with a more proactive MC. "Beta" MCs like Shinji and Yuki are great and fit in perfectly.
>>
>>135711030

Nice bait.
>>
OP specified anime, so it's the ones who are competent and decent characters in their source material, but turn into spineless generic nobodies in the anime. Dragonar for example.
>>
>>135711160
Yuki is a just a carbon copy of Shinji.

>>135705943
He wasn't really that bad. What would you have done in his place?
>>
>>135711348

FUCKING CONFESS

He was willing to be a big dicked badass and slaughter a bunch of soldiers when he thought she was dead but when he gets chance to confess he's just like "MUH FALSE EXISTENCE" "IMMUH MONSTER" ;___;

Fuck him
>>
>>135711348
Tell the truth, man up, and not wuss out.
>>
>>135711348
>He wasn't really that bad.
No he was. Everyone hated him while the show aired and still do.
>What would you have done in his place?
Own up and actually take responsibility for my actions, be productive instead of crying in a corner, not hide essential information for no reason.
>>
>>135711238
No. Well written =/= self incert proactive MC
>>
>>135711294
Fuck shonen. I'm talking about what makes a man a man, and characters that pussy out aren't fun to watch/read if they also happen to be the main character of the story.
>>
>>135711160
Yuki is garbage and only "works" to sell Yuno as a crazy girlfriend. Maybe a dumbass like you ate it up when there was an entire timeline free of his pathetic baggage.
>>
>>135711933
This os pretty much why vvv and eva were so terrible.

Shinji never walked out during emergencies, but before or after. He also always came back, and kicked every angel's ass, often single handedly.
How is that being a coward?

Except everyone except you would agree that the worst kind of protagonist is one that wusses out.
>>
>>135715153
Only after he sees that if he doesn't fight, Rei will have to.
>>
>>135715810
But that's how humans operate, and that's why he is realistic.
For example characters like Emiya Shirou from Fate, or Kamina from TTGL are not bad, but they are absolutely not realistic. The "hero of justice" type of characters are exaggerations, no one thinks that way.
No sane person would fight giant alien monsters, if not to protect what he cares about. Shinji is realistic especially for the fact that he ponders about fighting frequently, trying to understand for what/who he is fighting. That's what makes it a well written character.
The "Kamina" type of character might be cool, but is deliberately unrealistic.
>>
>>135711403
And he got hundreds on children murdered by choosing to not tell the truth and not attempt to defend either himself or the people that were being murdered.

Very weakly and then stopped. It doesn't matter if you try, what matters is what you do.
Do there is no try. And he did not.

Why do we hate Haruto again? He's way better than most MCs.

After complainging about it and being forced to shoot.

No he was that bad. Everyone focused on his faults because they were the only things about him.
