Hi I'm Dranzerstorm
You may remember me as a regular contestant on the caption battle contest.
Welcome to Retro Retrospective, my world dedicated to the old guard of the Otaku world; expect some reviews of the old & obscure, and in-depth geeky knowledge with the occasional top ten and I now have a logo.

Little info about me
Well I'm British and I'm in to all things animated and nostalgia.
I've grown up with every cartoon going and have watched hundreds of anime.
Oh and to answer a question I was asked once, no I don't wear glasses in real life, I would wear Loke's sunglasses though.

Top 25 Worst Male Anime Characters

From females to males, it took a while to narrow down but were finally ready to go.
Update: Shinji Ikari is forgiven. I'll tell you why later. Replaced by Cilan from Pokemon.

25. Cilan from Pokemon
His character makes no sense, you cannot use wine terminology to describe Pokemon nor make a career out of it. It's so monumentally stupid.

24. Minoru Mineta from My Hero Academia
I'm just going to say it straight, he looks like a walking toilet, remind me why this show is the talk of the anime world again?

23. Admiral Nelson Royale from One Piece
*shudders* God he's so unpleasant to look at, One Piece I normally praise for art, not here.

22. Zeno from Dragonball Super
Only Toriyama can make the most powerful being in the universe an annoying spoilt child.

21. Minato Sahashi from Sekirei
A harem protagonist who really needs a reality check on the situation, he just annoys me.

20. Sosuke Aizen from Bleach
He is someone who is likely still trolling long after being dead and buried, just no.

19. Chang Wufei from Gundam Wing
Pretty much the 90s equivalent of an edgy 90s twitter misogynist.

18. Happosai from Ranma 1/2
I never found his perverted shenanigans to be enjoyable, could've easily not been in Ranma and no one would miss him.

17. Oberon the Fairy King from Sword Art Online
Imprisoned thousands against their will and tried to force Asuna to be his Queen. Another one who got a satisfying beatdown, but it's because of this guy Kirito has been excused from this list.

16. Shinji Matou from Fate Series
Weak pathetic individual who thinks it's acceptable to abuse women. Got a very satisfying punishment.

15. Sakura Kusakabe from Clubbed to Death Dokuro-Chan
Made an eternal youth potion for women, all well and good except it keeps them at 12 years old, now it's creepy.

14. Saito Hiraga from Familiar of Zero
He's dumb enough to fall for Louise even after all the abuse he's taken from her, it showcases how utterly stupid harem protagonists can be.

13. Wolfram Von Bielefeld from Kyo Kara Maoh
He's the male equal to Louise from Familiar of Zero who is already a worst female character.

12. Shou Tucker from Full Metal Alchemist
A little too easy to put this one down, yes he's the worst human alive but he was written as such and served that purpose, nothing about him was written poorly. But yeah he's still deplorable for doing it

11. Garou from One Punch Man
I hate him. A needlessly complex villain that has already been defeated by Saitama, any build up to him being a proper villain has lost it's weight.

10. Negi Springfield from UQHolder
After what I found out, he's now on this list I'll spare his Negima persona but not his UQHolder one, his decisions ultimately undo everything he accomplished in Negima

9. Mokuba Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh
His role in the franchise was to be scrappy doo and to give Kaiba motivation he didn't really need. He can't even play a children's card game.

8. Seiji Noumi from Accel World
A bully who's sole purpose is to be obnoxious to the point of being punchable, yet he's not even threatening, anyone a foot taller could easily smash his face in.

7. Kamille Bidan from Gundam Zeta
All he had to do was not lose his temper and we could've had Char as a lead character, no were stuck with Mr Self Righteous emo kid who deserves all the slaps from Bright Noa and pretty much the rest of the cast.

6. Pain from Naruto
Thinking about, I can forgive Sasuke, yeah he's a piece of emo Shonen trash but Pain then brought it up to ten. Oh boy, Pain is a lost cause and one of Naruto's lowest points; I really don't miss the Edgelord trend and it was the tip of the iceberg not only having a character named Pain, have his motif as Pain but be painful to listen to. As for Sasuke consider yourself lucky that you grew up in Boruto.

5. Makoto Itou from School Days
The whole point of Makoto was to not let dating sims be reality because all you do is play with people's hearts and trample them when it doesn't satisfy you and Makoto was the perfect person to portray that but it did more damage to the harem genre than his contemporaries ever did.

4. Ramunes IV from Knights of Ramunes OVA
An ego maniac who abuses women on a regular basis, what's worst is that he's meant to be a hero, not to mention there's no explanation in why he became such a deplorable human being to begin with.

3. Chris Thorndyke from Sonic X
When we finally have a proper Sonic anime and you come along and ruined it by just existing, comes to something when every other cartoon and even the ova is better than what this series produced.

2. Alois Trancy from Black Butler
This ass hole ruined Black Butler, nothing more than a fanfiction writers miserable attempt at Ciel Phantomhive. He's an abusive, emotional black mailing little piss stain that didn't deserve to exist.

1. Koran Mori from Flame of Recca
Let's list all his terrible traits.
Kills people for giggles no matter what side.
Boring greedy corrupt business man.
Most hideous anime design in history.
He has no impact on the story until the end and even then the real final boss is arguably the one in control.
More than likely a rapist.
In an anime reliant on action he can't do squat.
Worst of all, he's the least interesting character from the series and is so forgettable that you'd forget he exists and he's meant to be the main villain, so he's not only the worst male character but easily the worst villain in anime.

Accel World Review

First of many reviews today, let's get started.

Haruyuki is the very definition of a bullied kid, short, chubby and pretty much a loner with his only release being computer games, that is until he meets Kuroyukihime who upon seeing his game skills, enlists his help to defeat the six kings in an Augmented Reality MMO called Brain Burst, a game where by acquiring a certain amount of points can gain advantages in the real world by entering a zone that is akin to time slowing down to the point where life becomes easy.
Taking up the mantle of Silver Crow, a taller winged avatar, Haruyuki sets out with Kuroyukihime to defeat the kings and discover the true nature of Brain Burst.
The writer of this also did Sword Art Online and immediately this feels like an apology for the story decay of Sword Art Online and all it took was changing up the dynamics of the plot.
I felt absorbed in the story as I really wanted to see where this was going and I was also rooting for Haruyuki and Kuroyukihime as a couple but it's let down by the anime ending after one of the weaker arcs of the story in which an ass hole named Noumi uses the system to cheat life and abuse a program to steal abilities from other players, it really drags down the anime to it's lowest form and makes a number of characters look worse for it which up to that point had been doing pretty well.
Dub is mixed between exceptional performances to average, Haruyuki himself being the standout.
It's a massive upgrade compared to Sword Art Online, I just wish it was treated with a bit more care.
Final Verdict: An engaging story with unique characters only let down by a weak story arc to finish the anime that ultimately leaves the series with no resolution.

Top 100 Anime 10-6

Now we come to our final two posts.

10. Nisekoi
A romance anime that's basically a better Love Hina. A host of great characters, the biggest tear jerker scenes and a tsundere I actually like.

9. Accel World
This is how you do it Sword Art Online. As the name suggests this is a rush of a show with high octane action coming from the most unexpected characters.

8. Jing King of Bandits
A personal favourite with the coolest looking protagonist ever and the right balance of artistic, surreal and beautiful and everyone is named after booze.

7. Ranma 1/2
A comedy so ridiculous in it's concept of transgender, martial arts and romance that only anime could possible make it, and this was way before Gintama made it cool.

6. Cowboy Bebop
A lot of peoples favourite anime and I agree with them, a perfect blend of action, sci fi, comedy and drama, it's near perfect.
