You can’t always have everything in life; sometimes even in the most perfect of anime shows, with a cast of loveable characters and a great story and plot and backdrops, there is just this one male character that you can’t quite like, who spoils an otherwise perfect show.
It could be that the male character has no likeable traits, and yet finds himself in a harem situation – which makes him even harder to relate to. Or it could be that the character has stunning good looks, but the personality of a brick wall. Or perhaps this guy’s the detestable dirty villain who, after he’s been defeated, just won’t stay defeated and keeps coming back to thwart the story’s progression.
Whatever it is, for some reason there is just something about the character that makes you want to punch him in the face.

Ah yes, while the anime/light novel’s ending is still being fiercely debated by fans, the sister-loving big brother takes the first spot. He most certainly is a detestable fellow.
Other obviously unlikeable male characters include the likes of Naruto, Koyomi Araragi and everybody’s favorite cleaning lady… Um… I mean Survey Corps captain, Levi.
