Day 08 - The most annoying character

Allen Walker [D. Gray Man]
Just Allen Walker. Everybody loves him, both in universe and in real life. He's just so bland! Everyone keeps talking about how cute he is and all  that and just ignores that he's just a classic generic shonen hero (nice guy type) who scores over 70 points at the universal Mary Sue Test (anything over 50 points is considered mega sue). Now I can't really tell people not to like a character just because said character is cute since I listed Kotomi on my favorite characters list for that exact reason (Well, not the same reason if you actually find Allen attractive and not just cute, which most fangirls probably do... So yeah, not the same at all actually but the same principle of liking a character for stupid reasons) the point is simply that he's not even a little cute, just another boring invincible marty stu hero.
Is this really cute enough to make up for a lack of realistic and/or interesting personality? Like really? He looks just like any other character but with a weird scar on his face.


Hinagiku Katsura [Hayate The Combat Butler]

Another Mary Sue everyone loves. The most popular character of the freaking series! Her profile even says she's good at everything. Also I find her bossy and annoying and she steals the spotlight from other characters, I dropped the series once she became a central character.

Sasuke Uchiha [Naruto]
He's not quite a mary sue since he's completely unsympathetic by now but Kishimoto is in love with him so he'll still get a disproportionate amount of attention and live forever. At least this is a character that a lot of other people also find annoying, making it somewhat easier to accept!

Then there are certain types of characters I dislike, the generic stupid chick and damsel in distress and those creepy murderous possesive boyfriends of shojo heroines always fall for despite there being like 1000 other kind and sane men to choose from (like Kaname from Vampire Knight and Blood Dupree from Heart no Kuni no Alice, ugh!)
