Post the most useless, annoying, punchable anime MCs.

This faggot ruined the entire series, why is Japan so obsessed with pathetic, dullard MCs?
>>
>>142290489
Self-insert for teens and manchildren.
>>
>>142290489
A mixture of self inserts and lazy authors.

if the MC is thick as shit that allows the author to drag out a storyline and requires less talent than two characters that are equally intelligent and able to outmaneuver each other.

Takes even more skill to do this without the battle of wits being more about power levels, brute force, or ass pulls.
>>
I want to see more MCs like the lad from Konosuba.

Someone who actually has a fucking personality, doesn't constantly have a stick up his arse and is someone you would actually like to spend time with.
>>
>>142290489

Most harem MCs are bad, but Mahiro is one of the few that genuinely made me angry.

Dude was a straight up jerk most of the time, and his tsukkomis always ruined the humor rather than enhance it. I pretty much had to mentally block him out to enjoy the show.

Actual conversation between my gf and myself after I showed her Netoge:
>Her: Goddamn, the male lead is the most useless and pathetic piece of shit I've ever seen. Did they do that on purpose?

>Her: I would seriously rather die than self-identify with THAT.

I think there's another point to be taken here that the spineless MC is beta not for being an stereotype alpha but lacking any conviction what so ever.

Just tell her you like her anyway and have fun with her without having to fix them.

That's why I love this manga. It's about the two constantly trying to outsmart each other with mindgames. It's not about whether they love each other or not, they just refuse to be the first one to say something so they try to make the other one take the initiative.

Yes.

We're now in an environment where Onizuka, Harima, and even Makoto would be impossible as it would be too threatening.

Unless you want to take to the other retarded degree of wish fulfillment.
>>
>>142292527
School Rumble and School Days are shit so there's no great loss. Onizuka is not a self-insert type character since it doesn't focus on romance.
>>
>>142292602
It can be still self-insert fantasy since the focus on romance is not a requirement for a story to be one.
>>
>>142292675
It's more prominent in romance, since male viewers generally have no interest in non-self-insert type romance. That's generally more popular among a female audience who are generally more voyeuristic.
>>
>>142292602
Are you saying you wouldn't wish to be Onizuka?

While you may not feel like I do about those two other anime the point is the MC's would certainly be found threatening compared to lot of others.

No, I'm perfectly fine with being who I am.

>MC's would certainly be found threatening compared to lot of others
Because they're romance centric. The audience generally has no interesting seeing people who are 'manlier', 'more successful', 'more assertive', etc. than they are in a romantic context - if they wanted to see that sort of thing they could simply leave the house. I firmly believe that there's a cathartic component to seeing someone who resembles you in one way or another being romantically successful, since it carries the implication that the female characters who are the romantic interest could be attracted to you if you were in the MCs place. If the MC is superior to you, then this is not a given.

That if someone is so much as capable of being able to talk to girls then they're too much. I do apologize the ones I chose to emphasis that were a bit of an exaggeration.

A better example would be Kyon, but that's probably not romance centered enough.
>>

I self-insert as the girl though and I'd rather have a confident, strong man than a meek beta shitlord.
>>
>>142293009
>What you said ties in nicely to >>142292291
It is, but this isn't news. It's merely the consequence of having an ageing audience. The main characters in chuuni anime (i.e. your average battle harem) are usually much 'manlier' in their traits. They're geniuses, they're good at fighting, handsome, etc. - an older audience however has come to terms with being losers, they can't see themselves changing any more, so it's more satisfying for them to see someone who resembles them succeed rather than seeing someone succeed whom they'll never become.

>A better example would be Kyon, but that's probably not romance centered enough.
Kyon is bland as fuck. And his lack of enthusiasm and snarkiness makes him a perfect self-insert character. He even contrasts with Koizumi who - if this were a shoujo anime would likely be the main male love interest - and makes him seem much more 'average' than if he were a singular male character.
>>
>>142293210
And for that purpose you have plenty of shoujo anime out there that cater to your degeneracy.

Watch the show, basically if he were to start dating one of the girls, it would become awkward with everyone else in the club and they would fall apart.

the MC of Nanatsu no Taizai reminds me of a tamer version of Onizuka a bit. His heart is in the right place but he sure like to look at panties and accidentally fall into girls cleavage a lot.
Although admittedly Onizuka was always 40/60 on getting his H on vs Helping a friend or a student in need. This guy is a bit tamer.

At least he doesn't actively ruin his harem's life, ruin the friendship between them, and literally make one of his girl throw away her dream career of being a professional athlete swimmer and relegated to being an office lady instead. Nobody can top this failure of a man

Kirito isn't even that useless or anything. He's just a generic gary stu blank slate designed for self-insert purposes. SAO was trolling everyone with its script, not its mc.
>>
>>142297955
Is he like this all the time?

Because I don't see how anyone could hate him. Seems way different from the usual harem MC. Actually kind of refreshing to see a guy telling a girl to fuck off.

Kinda makes me want to pick it up.

>Actually kind of refreshing to see a guy telling a girl to fuck off.
^So much this.

A guy actually rejecting a girl would immediately resolve like 90% of dramas and conflicts in relationships in anime, especially harem anime.
>>
>>142290489
The reason most harem MCs are so dense and fucking boring is the same reason Bella in Twilight is so fucking boring. Having a bland MC lets desperate neets self insert and deceive themselves that "if that chick was all over me i wouldn't be oblivious, i'd totally be switched on and seal the deal" and fantasise about what they would do. If the MC was competent it would alienate the very audience that watches harem shit. The status quo also extends the series.
>>
>>142303698

He's a male tsundere.

He actually likes the girl, but says he doesn't because out of embarrassment.

The protagonist of Onegai Teacher.

It's why I liked the pseudo-remake Waiting in the Summer. It was probably a tad weaker in some areas yeah, but the MC was a million times more likable and not a whiny faggot.

>>142303633
He's a gary stu who happens to be socially almost well adjusted and is capable of handling women (and appreciating good asscrack), so he's the complete opposite of the thread's topic.
>>
>>142304106
>who happens to be socially almost well adjusted and is capable of handling women

No he isn't. He shows no capability in that regard at all. All of the women in the story are merely written to fall in love with him by default, which says nothing of his own competence at romance.

I get what you're saying, but that's still not what happens in SAO. In SAO every girl is already in love with Kirito before they've even met him.

That's an extreme exaggeration and you fully know it. Even the relatively quick warmup between him and Sinon at least has basis in their shared video game PTSD problems.

Crazy does sometimes bring crazy together, especially when dying is a constant immediate threat in the current environment. Those glands and hormones go into overdrive to make them more likely to conceive before something bad happens to either half of a couple.

Your imaginary girlfriend had a point. Who the fuck would want to project onto extremely beta harem MCs that never actually get any because they're so beta? Especially the ones that aren't action heroes on the side since they can kick a little ass at least.

The ALO arc involved the threat of practical death by memory wipe though its not directly related to Sugu's romance, and they were under the impression of Shino being in immediate danger in GGO even though it turned out that the method of entry was radically different from expected.

Sugu's relationship writing can be interpreted as initially being puppy love inserted into a brocon scenario that just got mixed up with real attraction to what she thought was someone else. I mean, it's not like Kirito literally does nothing; he's pretty much the best player / fighter in all the games so it's normal for chicks to dig him. What I'm saying is that it isn't all that far fetched or out of human reason for this to occur.

The way the side characters were written was more tacked on though, but they're not so important or overemphasized anyway so they don't detract from the overall product.

Well, sure. That doesn't change the fact that every female character in all of SAO is either in love with (or in the process of falling in love with) Kirito by default and because he's a gary stu. I'm not calling it unrealistic per se. I'm calling it lazy writing.

I agree. And 95% of harem love stories I can think of don't have them, they have childhood friends and new girls that they've known for months and could easily fall genuinely in love with. Or it's already the case with the childhood friend cliche. The MCs are beta as fuck because they don't fuck girls genuinely in love with them that have known them for years.

That's when it's just plain stupid. But then again a lot of Japanese males are supposedly actually that beta, so cultural standards I guess? If that rumor is true it's no surprise they don't have any babies.

Okay. Kirito is not alpha in any sense, you clearly don't understand the concept. Alphas don't drag pussy because they don't give a fuck the way Kirito does. Kirito literally does not care or notice. An alpha in real life notices and baits intentionally, then waits for them or they go for the grab on their own. That is not Kirito.

Kirito is not alpha. He's just a trash character for shut-in teenagers.

And you couldn't possibly be any more wrong. Are you not aware the declining birthrate is a genuine crisis in Japan? It's all old people that'll die soon, and almost nobody wants to immigrate to Japan because of the genuine xenophobia. Which means they have a shitload of old people that are useless, and adults that aren't making babies.

Japan is going to crumble in a decade or two if they don't get over themselves and actually make immigration appealing. Or just make damn babies. Japan cannot afford a population decline, literally or figuratively.

That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Go look it up.

Yeah. The guy that's fully aware the tsundere wants his dick and teases her on a regular basis.

And isn't hit by a single tsundere kick/slap. Usually ends up the other way around. I remember a moment where he's carrying her while flying and she bitches him out, so he just drops her.

The plot's not great, but Kazuma just makes the show really entertaining if you're getting tired of beta cliches.

Or maybe because the writing is generally about Kirito and the immediate people that he meets? At least that's how the animated adaptation goes. It's not a story about the other players' lives.

It IS still a garystu-ism for him to have his personal harem following him around everywhere while his dude friends are a bit more scarce.

Which means that Japan needs to focus on keeping its industries ahead of the curve and encouraging more people to have kids, but in the long run, having a smaller population will be an amazing thing as long as they can weather the storm for now.

Of course. The kind of alpha that led other men tended to focus on the immediate issues, sometimes at the expense of slamming pussy. And he DOES slam pussy when he gets the chance. The inverse is the Chad Alpha which have flipped priorities.

A character does not have to sperg out when admiring exposed butt to convey to the audience that he notices and appreciates fat booty. Isn't this the kind of more realistic character that you people always wanted? Are you not entertained? Or perhaps the real entertainment actually comes from getting mad at typical Nandatte characters; we all prefer to enjoy being angry at things?

>Isn't this the kind of more realistic character that you people always wanted?

He's an emotionless Gary Stu designed specifically for audiences to project themselves into, who's nearly as overpowered as Shiba and has the moral awareness of Makoto. But all of that doesn't matter, because the real problem with SAO is that all of the girls are unrealistic. They each get an arc in turn where they fall in love with him because he's the best at the game after which they join the club of used girls who proceed to follow his progress like lazy stalkers.

>Are you not entertained?
No, and I dropped SAO once it dropped its premise and decided to become literally just another battle harem, which is a different reason to dropping it because of the MC.

I wish more harem MCs were like Mahiro-san actually. He's not dense of how obsessed Nyaruko is over him and keeps his group in line from their nonsense with disciplinary action just an authority figure would. Mahiro has disciplined his harem and has asserted himself as the pack leader even if he is hesitant on sexual confrontations.

Calling Mahiro useless is also just wrongas he has mad fork skills for days that can fight off eldritch horrors with just human ability alone even though he's actually half-human

>implying Hastur wasn't best girl

But yeah, Mahiro was a pretty shitty protagonist. Most harem protagonists are shitty. They're just annoying audience surrogates that are written to be kind of pathetic, weak and nerdy because that's what people who make harem anime think the audience of those shows identifies with (and let's be honest, they're not entirely wrong). It means every harem protagonist save for maybe like 1% are all almost the exact same character with a different design.
