How do you know if you truly hate a series or if it's just a particular character that causes you to hate it?

I've the opposite problem...
How do you know if you truly love a series or if it's just a particular character that causes you to love it?
Pic related.
>>139194725
I generally base it on whether or not I was enjoying a series before the annoying charter shows up.
Can't say for pic related since I've never watched it.
>>139194725
I make it depend on the characters. The only show I can truly say I disliked was Lamune and that was because I didn't end up liking any of the characters and it was overall boring. I can at least find one character that I like from any series.
>>139196390
Ask yourself this, would you still watch it if that character didn't exist?
>>139194725
if there are any parts longer than 5 mins where that character isn't included and you find that you're enjoying yourself it's that character.
like with GATE, this season i absolutely hated itami's and co. harem adventures but enjoyed all the rest.
>>139194725
If a side character is far more memorable than the MC, it's a shit show so both.
>>139196670
That's an hard question... Boobstring worth like 50% of that animu, but all the RPG stuff, the MC and the other characters are kinda cool.
>>139196828
boobstring is easily 70% of the show. if the generic protagonist was there without the support of Bestia the show would've been shit.
>>139196896
I love the relationship the MC and Bestia have. Without the MC Hestia would lose a lot.
>>139194725
I actually liked Hestia a lot and I'm pretty sure she was the only reason I kept watching DanMachi after the first few episodes.
>>139197021
well no shit, a supporting character can't stand on his/her own. but a good MC should imo. and this MC can't.
>>139196670
I doubt it would be as popular without Hestia.
>>139196390
I don't think I've ever liked a character but not their series. The opposite plenty of times. Usually series I don't like get dropped extremely fast. Within one or two episodes. That's not enough time to take a liking to a character.
>>139197985
>Within one or two episodes
>not watching obligatory 3 eps to get a feel for the show
>>139197985
I'm usually the same. It's just annoying when a series actually does get good past the initial episodes because I just don't have the patience to sit through more than 3 shit episodes just to get to something decent.
>>139198088
Most of the time, what makes me drop a series is something you can pick out very early. I have a long rather petty list of things that are dealbreakers.
>>139194725
>>139196390
If the series gives the character enough screentime to make you hate or like it as a whole, then what's the difference?
If you like the series and just hate the character, then you probably enjoy most scenes without them. Pic related, fuck Ume.

I hate the bitch so much I forgot the pic
Nagase Iori from Kokoro Connect. Her bitch fit ruined it for me.
>>139194725
I know because I overall liked Claymore, despite this little shit.
>>139194725
Both were shit.
>>139199428
this. if only raki didn't exist rewatching claymore would be so much more enjoyable
sometimes it's one and the same. if you don't like a specific character it's pretty much impossible to enjoy the show. dungeon pick up is like that. you don't like bestia==you don't like the show
>>139194725
Shitestia is shit.
>>139201760
Having shitty taste is shit
>>139202077
Good thing I don't like Hestia then.
>>139196670
For this anime, yeah. Hestia contributed a lot but there was enough other stuff to keep me interested.

Who is this cutie?

Aqua

Paco.
>>139203498
Peco-Peco.
>>139203498
Oppai Ayaya.
>>139194725
Hestia only exists to tell the audience how incredibly awesome what's-his-face-MC is.

Because unlike half of /a/ apparently I'm not functionally retarded and unable to separate and articulate my thoughts.
>>139209547
That makes no sense
>>139210403
Looks like we know which half you are in then.
