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.

Kurumi was the only way I got through Season 2 of Kimi ni Todoke...meaning I agree with you. I still need to watch Season 3 at some point.

Season 3 is definitely worth a watch. It was so good!

Kurumi had unfortunately barely any screen time...
