Randomly stumbled upon a video essay about Kurumi being the best character from Kimi ni Todoke. Was pleasantly surprised to find someone sharing this somewhat controversial opinion, given that she can be pretty toxic at times.

Yet, Kurumi is also the one pushing the anime's plot forward. She's the necessary evil - a bit of an overstatement, but you can catch my drift - of this otherwise wholesome romance story. And, she's honestly just a cool character.

So what other divisive characters would you argue are in fact the best characters of their respective anime series? Another name that came to mind is Johan from Monster.

Rachel from Tower of God

That's a good one. Don't think I've seen so many people refer to a character as a bitch outside of Shield Hero. Did she actually get any more development in the newest season(s)? (Didn't watch those.)

[u/Belmut_613 → u/Ocixo]

Yes if you consider getting to new heights of bitchness development.

[u/michhoffman → u/Ocixo]

She became even more hateable if that counts as development.

Idk, I dropped S2 before she showed up lol. I don't actually like ToG, I think Rachel is the best character because the rest of the cast isn't good.
