Stupid characters in anime.

It's been a long time since I've posted about anime. Don't worry, I won't torment you by posting about all the shows I am watching and have finished. I just noticed that lately I seem to be really intolerant of annoying and stupid characters. I used to put up with them fairly well, but the past few shows they've just made me grit my teeth and consider dropping the series. I'm talking about Youko from Twelve Kingdoms, the oldest sister (I forget her name) in Read or Die TV, and Toboe from Wolf's Rain. They all just drove me nuts. I guess I ended up getting over it -- although I thought Youko was improving at the end of episode 3, and now she's taken a different turn for the worse -- and am still watching all three series, but still. It seemed a lot less bearable than usual. Oddly enough, I've been rewatching Sailor Moon lately, and Usagi hasn't annoyed me very much at all. Maybe it's because she tends to get her just desserts more often, or at least Rei will scold her. The sister in R.O.D. totally gets away with it and feels no remorse, Youko has issues, and Toboe's just clueless. I dunno.

...okay, I just wanted to rant about that briefly. Back to not posting. :P
