This is where you can discuss Anime Characters that grate your nerves and why they do so.
Kagome (Inuyasha) - Abuses Inuyasha day in and day out (using the "sit" spell when it isn't necessary), gets all mopey when Inuyasha simply TALKS to Kikyo and then will often abuse him even though she says Inuyasha can talk to Kikyo, and gets kidnapped/attacked CONSTANTLY and barely defends herself (even though she's suppose to have super awesome priestess powers)
Rebecca (Yu-gi-oh!) - The "Amy Rose" to Yugi's "Sonic": an annoying fangirl that's WAY too young to be dating him and considers him to be her bestest boyfriend. You'd think a prodigy would know that an 8 year old dating a 17-18 year old high schooler would kinda be both illegal and creepy
Manami (LIFE) - I don't care if she was bullied in middle school, she TORTURES anyone that doesn't kiss her ass (including sicking men to rape them or trying to kill them herself), tries CONSTATLY to expel the protagnonist, forces her grade into summer school by pretending to be bullied, tries to fake being beat up to expel the protagonist, attacks one of her friends when said friend actually starts growing some morality and wants to do the right things, etc.
And since I don't have a male on the list . . .
Makato (School Days) - a playboy manwhore that blames one of the girls for being preggo (WHEN HE FUCKED HER, takes 2 to tango, bastard), makes out with a girl in front of her babymama, suggests to the babymama to go to a "hospital"/ABORTION CLINIC instead of taking responsibility for his child, and the list goes on and on and on

Kagami from "Lucky Star"
Why, oh WHY do so many people like her?! There's a fine line between being a tsundere and just plain being a bitch, and Kagami has crossed it. She criticizes everything her friends do and acts as if she is so much more intelligent and mature than them, but then she turns around and gets emo when they don't include her. (Um, here's a hint to keep you included with the group, Kagami. People don't like to hang out with people who think they're better than them!) She even does this to her own twin sister!

(May I also add that her English dub voice is torture on the ears?)

Oh, yes, Makoto is an asshole. In the anime. In the manga of School Days, he's actually not so bad. He still strings two (yes, just two, no harem for him) girls along because he can't decide, but isn't as much as a jerk about it. And he doesn't sleep with them, or get them pregnant. So... yeah.
But I don't think I've hated any character as much as I hate the male lead in Haoru Airen. The bastard kidnaps a high-schooler, kills one of her friends in front of her, rapes her repeatedly until she suffers from stockholm syndrome, then hands her over to one of his cronies. (Oh yeah, did I mention he's the leader of a gang? Yes, on top of all this he runs an organization that kills people and trafficks drugs.) The female lead then has actual, consensual sex with the crony because she's lonely and confused, but then suffers massive amounts of guilt and remorse for 'cheating' on the man who not only raped her, but actually handed her off to the crony like an object. And the worst part of it? This rapist is the love interest. Not the villain. The freaking love interest.

Reading through this a 2nd time is gonna hurt, especially since I didn't even finish

I used to hate Sakura from Naruto, until I found out about Bella . Sakara always beats up Naruto while he did almost nothing. In the first season she sometimes does something cool, but the rest of the time she only scream Sasuke's name. But I don't watch Naruto anymore.

A lot of fans dislike Sakura, and I can really see why. (How the fuck did she go from having incredible super-strength when she was beating up Naruto as comic relief to incredibly weak in most of the actual combat she was in? How does that happen?!) But, you're certainly right about Bella being worse. Unlike Bella, Sakura's creator admits to having intended to make her a weak character at first. Also unlike Bella, Sakura becomes much more competent and strong after she's grown up a bit. She still abuses poor Naruto, though. T_T And nobody seems to care! Not even the other characters! Not once has Sakura ever been called out on her abusive actions!

Zigfried von Schroeder (Yu-gi-oh!) - Impressively rich and owns a multimillion dollar company in gaming, extremely girly and flamboyant, out for Kaiba's company, hacks into KC networks, participates in a tournament, it's all decided on Yugi's victory/defeat on whether Zigfried gets Kaiba's company... Why does this sound so familiar...? Oh wait--THAT'S WHAT PEGASUS DID!!! Come on, this guy is a fucking ripoff of Maximillian Pegasus to a fucking T! Besides, there was no real purpose for that mini arc except to buy time to catch up on the manga--at least the Noah arc provided better character development and a more clear back-story on Seto and Mokuba

Pretty much all of Shinjo Mayu's heroines.
Seriously, I don't even think they're considered characters. You might as well have doormats with their names printed on them and it would be the same thing.
I think Haou Airen and that one story where the fifteen year old girl falls in love with Satan are some of the worst. The former gets raped by her "love interest" and still falls in love with him, never growing a backbone; the latter pretty much for the same reason, though she lets Satan kill her so she can be with him forever in Hell as a concubine or something like that...with no regards to the living people who care for her.
What pisses me off about the characters is how there is no character development for them; none of them end up a stronger character at the conclusion and their entire existence pretty much revolves around the pretty boy assholes that molest them. Unfortunate implications aside, the stories are all pretty much the same damn thing with different names.
I think Lady Phoenix once said how this mangaka was even worse than Stephanie Meyer. She is right.

She is right. Yes she be. The only "good" story I think I can picture is "Love Celeb" . . . and they ruined it by continuing the story AFTER THEY FINALLY DID IT.
Seriously, the whole main conflict of the story was the fact the protagonist wouldn't make love to the main hottie. Once that was out of the way, there was nothing to hold it up to.
The moment they made her agent fall for her is when I said "I'm done".

Miho/"Ribbon" (Yu-gi-oh! Season 0) -God I HATED this fucking bitch, just HATED her guts. My degree of hatred for this bitch almost matches my hatred for Bella Swan (where I actually wanted to strangle her). She was the most USELESS character on the show (Tea was a hell lot more better than this brat), she was the greediest person on the show, and she was a total cocktease to Tristan. She NEVER acknowledges Tristan's attempts at making her happy, but instead she either ogles the next hunk that had cash/looks or says "MORE MORE MORE!!!" Did I mention she does nothing for the show, except make Tristan a miserable sap and cause MORE problems? There's nothing redeemable about her, and I'm GLAD she never survived out of Season 0.

You know what's funny? She was a one-shot character that Honda had a crush and never appeared in any other chapter. Apparently Toei thought they needed another female character to join the protagonists so they added her into the main cast.

Sakura from Naruto, natch. I honestly like Ino more and this says a lot.
Bleach's Rukia cannot be redeemed in my eyes. Not even through the power of fanfiction.

The director and Tenma's fiancee in Monster: They're money-grubbing assholes who only care about the fame of their hospital and swimming in money. The fiancee's words ("Human life is not equal") made me wanna kill her.
EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN CHARACTER FROM SCHOOL DAYS.
Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I have a deep hatred for girls who claim to be gods, but bitch and whine and moan if things don't go their way. ACT YOUR FUCKING AGE.
Satoko from Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. She's okay, but Higurashi is [or tries to be] a horror anime. You need to REALLY emote fear and pain. Satoko doesn't do any of that, even when she's getting STABBED NONSTOP.
Pluto from the Kuroshitsuji anime. First time I saw the guy, loved him instantly. But now that I know the anime only threw in shonen-ai, yaoi, and naked men JUST TO GET A BIGGER FANBASE pissed me off. So much to the point I hate the guy.
Maria from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. Up until I saw what her past was like, she was a total bitch. Her "Uuuuu!" makes me want to stab my eardrums and . . . let's just say she chews the scenery when it comes to horror.
That . . . baby doll thing from Princess Tutu. ONLY does stuff right at the end of the series, babbles nonstop, and her "zura zura!" is worse than screeching chalk on a blackboard.
The albino guy from Zetsuai 1989. EXTREMELY clingy and overdramatic. "My boyfriend's going to Italy for a week without me? MY LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING!" *crashes bike*
Onpu from Ojamajo DoReMi. She's the Deus Ex Machina of the party. She always knows what's to do, has everything prepared, brings the money in shop, etc.

Makoto and everyone else from School Days: For all the reasons listed in the thread...
the heroine from Monster Love (manga) : I forgot her name, but she irritates me. First of all, she's the super speshul "white raven" (wtf?) who also just happened to be hot with gigantic boobs. Almost all of the male characters want to have their way with her (or at least sexually harrass her) and at least two girls are jealous of her. She's an idiot and doesn't stand against any of the sexually humiliating "punishments" she gets from her fiance, whom she didn't even want to be around in the beginning. Ugh. Should have expected this from an ecchi manga.
Sakura from Naruto: For all the reasons listed in the thread...
Naruto from Naruto: I've always found him very annoying. Plus, his voice in the dub hurts my ears and his catchphrase makes me roll my eyes. His uber-sad childhood doesn't really make up for it.
Sasuke from Naruto: Throughout the anime, he's always seemed more annoying than Naruto, personally. He is always angsting, acts like a jerk to everyone, and has mega-baddass powers. :\
Su from Shugo Chara: I'm not sure why. It's probably a mixture of her naivety and her high, artificial sounding voice. She always seemed to have less of a personality than Amu's other charas (even Dia, who showed hints of her eccentricities in the later chapters of the manga).

I agree with this completely. I'm starting the novels right now and I like it so far, but Haruhi is a total unlikable bitch that makes me glad she's not the POV character. The way she treats Mikuru is just horrible.

GASP.

She does seem a bit better now that I've finished the first novel.
