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.

Top 100 Worst Anime 70-61

I only really do this to let go of bad titles, nothing personal

70. UQ Holder
Pretty much rendered Negima completely unwatchable.

69. Kyo Kara Maoh
An early isekai that only wishes it was half as good as the ones we had today.

68. Girls Bravo
Another victim of bad adaption and is argubly the worst of them.

67. Ghost Stories
Remember I said the dub was no excuse for a bad anime, well this has the opposite problem where the dub is an excuse for a bad anime.

66. Doraemon
Japanese Charlie Brown doesn't appeal to me, better anime have offered better mascots.

65. Sonic X
Ruined by one character, thank the Japanese it's not higher.

64. Onegai Twin
It's cringy, it's lame, it's not worth the effort.

63. Elf Princess Rane
Where to start, it tried so hard to be relevant but the best it could do was invent the gibberish language and use unfunny jokes to demand more money.

62. Gundam F91
Probably the worst of the Gundam adaptations, yes even worst than SD Gundam.

61. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
I'm not a fan of violence for the sake of violence, you'll see a lot of this here and Higurashi is the least terrible of them.

Sonic X Review

It's not on my to do list but this is a necessary evil

It's a regular mission for Sonic as he stops Dr Eggman from harnessing the Chaos Emeralds, except an incident releases Chaos Control transporting everyone to Earth. After a race with the police, Sonic ends up being recovered from a rich kids swimming pool, starting a friendship with the kid named Chris Thorndyke; throughout the series we go through the events of the Sonic Adventure titles as well as a couple of games released in the early 2000s until season 3 which presented an original storyline.
Without going into a rant I'll just say that Chris Thorndyke is the worst character ever created in any Sonic property, not that I have a problem with human characters, the live action works in good chemistry between Sonic and Tom but with Chris he's that annoying tag-a-long kid that were way too common in a large number of 80s and 90s cartoons, it was stupid then, it's stupid now, he takes way too much screen time and steals scenes away from better characters. The sad thing is Sonic X has good visuals and design, it's Japanese release worked in more adult jokes and the dubbing was fine for 4Kids.
Then season 3 happened which is a horrible fanfic come to life which some how works Chris back into the story despite his arc being finished along with new enemies and allies which don't work at all, less said about Cosmo and the Metarex the better.
But were still not at the worst thing about Sonic X.
It's not Chris despite being a useless piece of shit.
It's not Cosmo despite being a fanfic character shoehorned in to keep ship fiction weebs happy.
It's not the Metarex despite being so forgettable that I don't remember what they look like nor do I care to look them up.
It's none of those things, the worst thing about Sonic X is the f-ing soundtrack!
One rule, never make Sonic's music bad!
Yet in this, the music is a massive distraction and gets in the way of everything with Rouge being the worst as it's the equivalent of shoving your head in a saxophone and having it blown by someone snoring.
Final Verdict: Sonic X is a competent anime with a ton of bad choices, it's original characters and storylines are dreadful, they somehow balls up the Sonic Adventure storylines and topped off with one of the worst soundtracks I've heard in an anime. Comes to something when the live action movie is looking better than this.
