HEY! LOOK! LISTEN!<\/p><\/div>\n

There are shitty characters like Suzaku, hated characters like Makoto, and then there’s those annoying, useless characters like these four.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Useless Man from Blood+<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve hated this guy ever since his ugly mug popped up on screen for the first time. \u00a0What exactly does he do<\/em> in the series? \u00a0NOTHING.<\/p>\n

All he does is wait around, act flamboyantly gay (I’m pretty sure that his actions are insulting to homosexuals…), and yearn for the “perfect stage.”<\/p>\n

We see glimpses of his power – he threatens Amshel, and gets away with it. \u00a0But never do we actually see him do anything. \u00a0He’s just standing around acting strong, helping the good guys for some unexplained reason, or, again, openly displaying his homosexuality.<\/p>\n

When he asked to die at the end, I didn’t even question the action. \u00a0I just wanted him to go away, to get his non-actiony self out of the action anime. \u00a0In retrospect, it made little sense why he wanted to die. \u00a0Though he technically had no chance against Saya (Diva was dead), he could have helped during the fight or simply ran away (or even attacked, like Amshel later did). \u00a0But thank the heavens he asked for it. \u00a0SOMEBODY had to cut down this loser’s waste of screentime.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Duck (and cat) from <\/span><\/strong>Moetan<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

There comes a point where humor derived from parody succumbs to repetition. \u00a0In other words, ANNOYING DROOLING DUCK SCENE IS ANNOYING (and annoying cat with nosebleed scene is annoying as well).<\/p>\n

I can deal with the magical change sequence being played every episode without fail, but is there really a need to copy and paste the same duck drooling scene in there every time?<\/p>\n

What do the viewers want to see:<\/p>\n
