I know this has been dead for 4 years but...
Dragonaut - Prince Azim (because of him, my two favorite characters died; then they had the nerve to bring him back in the "not really part of the show" episodes.)
Gurren Lagann - I'll be bashed on perhaps but.. Yoko. She felt very loose to me. Didn't like it.
I've said once (more like every time I mention Evangelion) and I'll say it again: Shinji Ikari. Worst character in all of fiction. I have never seen another character that makes me hate a series so much as him. He's just so unbelievably g@y, whiny, stupid, annoying and completely worthless. Most of the characters in Eva are unlikable, but he just takes the shit cake and vomits all over it. This web comic is the perfect example of how g@y Shinji is: http://www.screwattack.com/news/saturday-strips-vol49/images/2481866
It's funny because it's 100% true. The worst part is, that at the end of the series (or at least End of Eva) Shinji is like the only person who doesn't die. The one person who should have died within the first 5 minutes of the show, is the sole survivor. That is the greatest injustice in history. It should have ended with Misato beating him death with a bible and then flying off into space to have crazy "fan-service" adventures on other planets. F**k Shinji Ikari.

To be fair, he's also thrown into life and death combat situations initially without training, is made to almost kill his best friend (after initially starting out with no friends), and gets mindrapped. Plus the crappy childhood. And no psychistrist within 500 miles.
My childhood was just as bad, if not worse (raised by two heroine addicts who eventually killed them selves in my grandma's car) and I turned out just fine. Hell, my parents left me alone with my aunt so they could make a last ditch effort at wealth and ran off to Vegas plus my dad went to prison for several years, but I can tell you that if my dad came to me in middle school and said I got to save the world in a giant robot, work with two hot girls my own age and live with an older hot chick who is obsessed with fan service, I think I'd have been fine with it. I'll give you the no training thing, but that was only the first episode, he got plenty of training after that and he put the same amount of enthusiasm and care into it as an illegal immigrant puts into making your big mac (maybe even less since they actually care about their jobs). Daddy issues of not, he needed to grow a pair of goddamn balls or kill him self. Seriously, it's not like they actually needed him, after all he didn't save the world, he pretty much killed everyone and then left a giant Rei corps lying around after he throws his hundredth emo tantrum. Even Simon manned up after his little ***** fit and he became a better character for it. Shinji can lick the hairiest part of my ass, which is all of it!
