Yuu Haruna moves in with his sisters after his parents go away on business to America. A girl, Fuuka Akitsuki, literally flies into him and his life. Fuuka manages to talk Yuu into joining her band and making music with her. Her dream is to become an idol, but what other things does fate have in store for her?

Honestly, Fuuka isn’t so much annoying as much as her character is. She’s the offspring of the two main characters from Suzuka, the prequel to Fuuka, and is basically good at whatever it is she does. In fact, she’s too good. Fuuka’s greatest downfall is how good she is at whatever she does without actually doing much to get that good at it. On top of that, towards the end of the series she starts becoming a bit too snooty and vying for attention. The chemistry between her and Yuu is hardly there, so when they finally get together, it feels forced. They really seem more like friends than lovers as Fuuka just outshines Yuu in nearly every way possible. Fuuka doesn’t really seem to grow up a lot throughout this series, but overall, her annoying habits aren’t as grating as other characters on this list.

One of the most famous magic guilds in all of Fiore is Fairy Tail and Lucy Heartfilia is looking to join them. Coming across Natsu during his search for his father Igneel, he and his friend Happy take her to join his guild, the one she’s looking for, Fairy Tail. There, she makes new friends, goes on adventures, and tries to make just enough money to make her rent. But, it’s not all fun and good times as evil looms and the guild members must band together to fight against it.

While the story is mostly focused on the Fairy Tail guild, Ichiya is a recurring character in the series. Is his character meant to be some form of comic relief? He’s the leader of the Trimens, though he’s the only one not handsome in the group. He’s a self-proclaimed womanizer, though he’s creepy not only in looks but with his weird speech and obsession with smells, too. And, on top of all that, he’s not even that powerful! In the final series, he literally gets in the way of the Thunder God Tribe and steals Fried’s thunder during the Alvarez Empire arc. His one redeeming quality is that he does care and tries to help the Fairy Tail guild members as much as possible, even going as far as sacrificing his beloved flying ship, Christina.

This series is the continuation of the anime Naruto and follows his son, Boruto. Konoha and much of the rest of the shinobi nations have become more modern with the developments of technology such as televisions, telephones, and computers. Boruto’s got the large shadow of the seventh hokage, his father, cast over him and will do anything to surpass him. However, this peace isn’t going to last for long and Boruto’s going to end up in the thick of it.

Chocho, the daughter of Choji and Karui, is one of Naruto’s genin classmates and a friend. The young kunoichi has some skills, but her attitude and personality are what puts her on Honey’s list of annoying characters. Apart from her occasional words of wisdom and solid friendship with Sarada, Chocho takes a holier than thou attitude at times and isn’t nearly as serious as her other genin teammates. When a Nara is more motivated than another character, that says a lot. Sure, she’s great for some comic relief and she does grow on people, but is it so necessary for her to be so obsessed with food in a way Choji never was and overly concerned with love? However, she’s still a kid and has a lot of potential to grow out of her annoying habits, like she did in her filler arc in episodes 67 to 69.

Circlet Bout is a budding e-sport that came about from the advances of virtual reality and augmented reality. Yuuka, lost in a new city, ends up with a case of mistaken identity and is thrown into a Circlet Bout battle with one of the top players, Chikage Fujimura. Something unexpected happens in Yuuka’s impromptu match that changes her life forever. A couple of years have passed and now Yuuka is looking to join a Circlet Bout club and have a rematch with Chikage.

While the “adorably oblivious” may work for some characters, it doesn’t for Yuuka. She’s much too forward and thickheaded, making her bouts of idiocy irritating. All she wants to do is get stronger and fight in Circlet Bouts, but she’s mostly just relying on her friends to help get her through without seriously thinking about it. She whines and complains a lot, forcing viewers to want her to get serious because her voice isn’t as grating as when she’s trying to act cute. However, her personality does change as the series goes on, which gives her only the seventh place on the list.

When Nino was young, two important people in her life suddenly left her. The first was Momo, a childhood friend who up and left her without even saying goodbye and then Yuzu, an aspiring songwriter. Six years have gone by and fate has put them all in the same high school. However, things can change in six years and these three are no exception. Will music bring them together and mend their bonds, or is this something not even music can save?

This anime would be ten times better if Nino didn’t have so many problems, especially from the beginning. All characters are entitled to their quirks, but Nino’s character has so many odd behaviors. It’s not a far reach to say that she may have some mental issues since she wears a mask to stop herself from screaming. However, it’s her constant interjections of singing “LA LA LA” or “twinkle twinkle” that have most of us at Honey’s nursing a headache by the end of an episode. It doesn’t seem like Nino has grown up much as she can’t even handle an adult conversation without blurting out whatever it is she’s thinking right then and there. She’s not one of our most annoying characters because she does become more tolerable and endearing as the show goes on.

Sword Art Online (SAO) is a virtual reality game that syncs your mind with your avatar in the game. Kazuto Kirigaya, called “Kirito” in the game, was lucky enough to have become a beta tester for SAO. When the game finally launches, all the players come to realize that they can’t log out of the game. The mastermind behind the game has locked them inside of it, telling them to clear all one-hundred levels of the game if they want to be free However, if you die in the game or someone removes the gear used for the game in real life, you’ll die for real. Now, Kirito must work with friends and foes to stay alive and beat the game.

Yui is an AI originally seen in the first series of Sword Art Online. Originally a program to support the mental health of players, she regressed into a child-like state during the events of Aincrad. Calling Kirito and Asuna Papa and Mama, she assumes the role of daughter in their virtual family. This sounds more heartfelt than annoying, but Yui’s presence and development is fairly grating. A supercomputer that can basically hack anything in the world fawning over daddy and mommy is already strange, but over the course of the series, Yui is transferred to operate and communicate even in the real world. Her shrill voice is the icing on the cake for being just annoying enough for a place on this list.

The fifth part of the greater Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure continuity, Golden Wind, takes place in Italy and features the struggles of various members of the Stand using mafia group Passione. Giorno Giovanna, the son of series villain DIO, has a dream. He joins Passione and together with Bruno’s squad strives to rise and overthrow the current boss to restore honor to the mob.

Narancia is another member of Bruno’s squad, usually responsible for scouting with his carbon dioxide detecting powers. Unfortunately, Narancia is probably the worst possible person to do a job that requires tact and stealth. He’s loud and is extremely slow on the uptake to realize the cause of an effect, if he ever does. While blaring music that annoys fellow squad member Mista, Mista pours a soda on the stereo while Narancia isn’t looking to short it out. When it stops working, Narancia’s immediate reaction is to shout out that the old man who sold him this defective stereo is going to regret it. Maybe the mafia should bundle the Stand test to join along with an IQ check.

When Kazuma dies and gets the chance to be reincarnated in another world, he’s given a choice of something to take with him. He chooses the haughty goddess Aqua, who shortly beforehand was making fun of him and the situation surrounding his death. Now together in a world of monsters and magic, the pair must make money, recruit allies, and maybe one day, go defeat the demon king.

Aqua is a literal goddess of the world she becomes a mortal resident of and reminds anyone and everyone constantly of her status as their better. It doesn’t help that the systems of the world respect her status and grant her stats that are so powerful she could probably save the world by herself. She’s quick to laugh at someone’s deficiency, and even faster to cry and scream for attention when something bad happens to her. This huge ego gets her put in her place every once in a while, but the lesson learned never lasts long. She’s a perfect goddess, after all.

Four high school boys in the pursuit of love. Nijiiro Days mainly follows Natsuki Hashiba as his girlfriend breaks up with him on Christmas Eve and he meets Anna Kobayakawa, who he instantly falls for tries to pursue. However, his friends Keiichi Katakura, Tomoya Matsunaga, and Tsuyoshi Naoe are sticking their noses into his business and making it harder for him to get Anna! If Natsuki really does love this girl, can he get past all the shenanigans to end up with her?

Although Mari is a supporting character in Nijiiro Days, she’s the biggest reason why it’s so hard to sit through the series. First, her attitude is completely heinous. She’s rude, distrustful, and extremely manipulative, even towards Anna whom Mari claims she’s in love with. All of the harassment and physical abuse she deals out doesn’t make her endearing in any way, shape, or form. She really needs to get some mental help so she can return to the nice girl that Anna advocates her to be.

In a world where superpowers known as “Quirks” are commonplace, a professional hero is a job sought out by many. Izuku Midoriya, born without a Quirk, is granted one by his idol, All Might. Now attending a school for aspiring heroes, Midoriya and his fellow students are challenged not just in tests, but by villains and their up-and-coming peers as well.

Mineta is the worst. A student in Midoriya’s class at U.A. High School, Mineta is every awful pervy trope packed into one small package. He enjoys peeping on girls and derailing conversations to talk about depraved behavior. Mineta is also prone to panicking and crying in stressful situations, and his motivation for wanting to be a hero is essentially to become popular so women will flock to him. In a story with such strong themes of positivity, Mineta’s personality stands out even more strongly as an element that doesn’t really mesh with the rest of the cast.
