Okay, I don't remember if I ever did this kind of list but it's been long over due, so time for worst female anime characters, yes there is a male characters list it's just ten times longer and harder to shorten into a top ten.
Updated: Tomo Takino from Azumanga Daioh is now forgiven in favour of a much worst character.
25. Kirino Kosaka from Oreimo
Do I really need to give a reason? But for those who didn't see it lets just say she's pretty much patient zero of the little sister craze and gives otaku a bad name.
24. Nina Einstein from Code Geass
She makes me really uncomfortable, she's a racist with unstable emotions, capable of building nuclear weapons and her unhealthy obsession led to her pleasuring herself with a table.
23. Honoka Kousaka from Love Live
She is no different to about 50 other female protagonists and yet I fail to grasp her popularity.
22. Kohana Aigasaki from Magic Kyun Renaissance
Kohana is proof that not even female harem protagonists work, her problem is she's just a wilting flower ready to faint, I even call her anti feminist just for how weak a female she is.
21. Flay Allster from Gundam Seed
Turned against her boyfriend using emotional manipulation to bed Kira Yamato, while alot of this can be pinned down to loss of her father there's only so much you can get away with.
20. Petralka Eldant III from Outbreak Company
What is it with bratty monarchs? No where near as bad as Louise but in her case her voice was ten times worse rather than her actual actions.
19. Sarah McDougal from Love Hina
The series was worse for her appearance as she contributed nothing to the plot other than a distraction.
18. Kodachi Kuno from Ranma 1/2
Speaking of contributing nothing, Kodachi was the weakest for personality among the cast of females who were after Ranma, an extra character no one really asked for especially when her brother was a better show stealer.
17. Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
Oh Clamp what did you do? You turned one of the best female characters in Anime history into a boring princess who can't do anything, plot or not, she derserved better than this.
16. Miyabi Aizawa from Great Teacher Onizuka
This is the case of manga vs anime for this character, she leads the crusade against all teachers in her class, pushing away anyone who fails her all because one teacher wouldn't notice her, the anime version is a bit more complicated but either way her actions as a bully are unforgivable, particularly when all the teachers before Onizuka were just trying to do their job and didn't deserve to be driven out.
15. Mizuki Takase from Comic Party
Anyone who knows my works knows how much I hate Comic Party and it's because of this character.
14. Haruhi Suzumiya from Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Same reason as Tomo but way more annoying, I even wonder how the others put up with her.
13. Female Maze from Maze the Megaburst Space
She is basically gender swap Shinji Ikari. Even dresses like him.
12. Zazie Rainyday from Negima
She did absolutely nothing for 90% of the franchise and when she does do something it's not clear that it's even her, she speaks less lines than a monster of the week on Sailor Moon and finally, her role could've been done by a better character. What a waste.
11. Inaho Hitomebore from Master of Mosquiton
Annoying voice, annoyingly selfish, treats her beloved vampire like a slave and incapable of ever being liked by anyone, I'm glad she never gets a happy ending.
10. Reccoa Londe from Zeta Gundam
She joined the Titans by choice, who does that? Then she gassed and killed an entire colony. Then she dies blaming men for her bad choices. You are making worst Gundam characters look noble.
9. Yasuna Oribe from Kill Me Baby
She's that irritating friend who keeps annoying you to the point of snapping, the only reason she's not higher is because she gets what she deserves whenever her friend Sonya does snap.
8. Charlotte LinLin from One Piece
Big Mom is a terrible villain, in a series where the biggest villains can change the world in one battle, Big Mom is just a glorified psychopath with practically no respect for her ridiculous family and were supposed to judge her on the same level as Whitebeard.
7. Isanami from Brave 10
Probably the most pathetic female character to ever come out of a shounen anime in my entire reviewing career. She's pandering, she's a coward, she's useless, she can't do anything without Saizo and when she does do something, she goes all wilting flower and woobie on us. Just terrible.
6. Louise from Familiar of Zero
Worst tsundere ever, it's bad enough she smacks around Saito for the littlest hiccup but justifies it by using her nobility status saying that Saito is less than human to her, the only reason she's not higher is because Saito is dumb enough to still fall for her.
5. Kaede Sakura from Kampfer
She drove the entire plot of Kampfer by turning Natsuru into a girl, yet thinks boy Natsuru loves girl Natsuru. Lets not forget her horrible taste in stuffed animals and the fact that her villain reveal just destroys any dignity the show had.
4. Ringo Oginome from Mawaru Penguindrum
Falls in love with her older sister's former lover who is also her teacher in an insane plot that thinks that by doing this her family will come back together going as far as drugging and attempting to rape him and all she can say is crap about Destiny!
3. Malty Melromarc from Rising of the Shield Hero
My inspiration for this list, in the first episode she robs the main character of everything and gets him falsely accused of rape and still spends more of the series continuously tormenting him and yet this is considered a point of controversy in the anime community because of the whole funimation case. Saying that her comeuppance is so satisfying, spoilers she gets stripped of her name and title for her crimes and gets renamed Bitch.
2. Akito Sohma from Fruits Basket
Yes she counts despite the first anime ending before the reveal of this fact. I get that Mental Health is a complex emotion that can hurt people unintentionally but Akito's is so extreme that the line between unintentional and outright bitch gets crossed, the other characters did nothing to warrant her aggression, it made that part of the manga really hard to read, worst thing about it is some fans actually like her. Why?
The anime doesn't do her any favours as there is no talk of her backstory so she just comes off as a villain without a cause, which is even worst.
1. Ume Shiraume from Ben-To
But this is by far the worst female character ever. She beats up main character Sato for no reason not even for comedy, she abducts other women to be her dress up doll and play thing and the anime gives her a full episode that is 50 Shades uncomfortable where she seduces comedy relief Hana Oshiroi against her will in the most cringy yuri scene in anime history. I had a hard time returning to ecchi anime after this. Worst thing about it, she gets away with it; everyone else at least gets punished.
