Sakura Kinomoto, hated in Japan?!

[Tiffany Cheng]

I notice the hatred towards her is quite few, but I just feel kind of sad to see the some of the people who hate her with a passion. Comments that broke my heart the most about her are: "she is annoying and should just die in the anime," "Li/Syaoran-kun should just hook up with Meilin or Eriol or Tomoyo," "she is worst anime protagonist to be ever

Wow, I had no idea that Sakura is so hated in certain circles. That is sad. You made a very lovely defense of her. As you say, she isn't perfect; she's a very human character. And she's a really nice person. If she were real, I'd love to have her as a friend.

And that is frustrating when some people won't even say why they hate her. I've had that sort of thing happen regarding other characters. Or they'll give me some kind of reason, but it's a ridiculous one.

Thank you very much for your comment, I appreciate it

Yes, that seems very strange about the poll. With Usagi, it's a little more understandable that some people wouldn't like her, but that's still sad too. I've always loved her as well.

Candy Candy I'm not familiar with. Is that another magical girls show?

That's good that Sakura and Syaoran have made it onto a positive poll! They are a very sweet couple.

A Biglobe poll about Usagi Tsukino: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/10/13/male-and-female-fans-name-the-same-gender-anime-character-they-find-most-annoying
The poll said that Usagi was rated as the #32 most annoying/unlikeable anime female. I find the poll itself to be kind of ridiculous.

Btw, Candice White is protagonist from the anime "Candy Candy." If you don't know the "Candy Candy" series try to google it.

Yeah, those polls seem kind of silly. And they probably don't really represent the fanbase as a whole; just a small part of it.

Okay, I just looked it up. It sounds like a cute series. I like historical shows; I might have to give it a try sometime.

Oh well, I think Candy Candy is quite worth to watch you know. The manga is also pretty good to read.

I agree with you that some fans can be really annoying with their bashing, some of their words are really annoying or even heartless to a point.

Btw, I have a one comment about Sakura basher on the internet like this:
"I hate Sakura from card captor sakura.......you have no idea. "

Then when I asked why she didn't like Sakura, then she told me that's because she uses clow cards like windy instead of light or dark card. Her reason didn't make sense to me.

[insaneladybug]

Yes, I agree; it sounds like a very cute series. :)

... Wow. That is just beyond bizarre. I certainly fail to understand the logic behind such a reason.

[ext_3320222]

Yes, her comment was kind of bizarre, that's why I didn't take her comment that seriously.

I also don't really like Meiling and Syaoran bashings on the Internet by the fans. Meiling is often being called a "bitch" just because she gets the way of Syaoran x Sakura pairing, I support Syaoran x Sakura pairing too but I don't bash Meiling, I am okay with Meiling actually.

Then, there are fans who wanted Sakura to be paired with Tomoyo would viciously bashed Syaoran. Those Sakura x Tomoyo pairing fans often called Syaoran as a "brat" or a "female abuser," Syaoran is one my favorite in Cardcaptor Sakura, his characters growth is pretty good. I was kind of frustrated when Sakura x Tomoyo pairing fans often portrayed Syaoran as a horrible female abuser towards Sakura.

[insaneladybug]

Yeah.

Poor Meiling. I haven't seen too many episodes with her, but I thought I heard that once she knew Syaoran and Sakura cared about each other, she supported that and stepped aside. It takes a strong person to do that.

Ugh. Oh yes, some fans love to unfairly demonize a character if they get in the way of a desired pairing. Poor Syaoran. He is a very good character.

Oh well, Mizuki Kaho are also hated by either Eriol x Tomoyo pairing fans or Touya x Yukito pairing fans. A lot Eriol x Tomoyo or Touya x Yukito fans like call Kaho as "b*tch." I am fan of Eriol x Tomoyo and Touya x Yukito pairings but I don't mind Mizuki Kaho.
