Brook is actually my favorite, but I can easily see where his humor might hit some people the wrong way. Especially if you're prone to embarassment squick (I usually am too). If I didn't like the more serious parts of his character so much, the humor probably wouldn't have grown on me like it has. So...yeah, I guess I'm just saying even as a fan I can understand why someone else wouldn't be.
Regarding Hancock and Sadi-chan. Oi. Right now I consider them both pretty terrible characters - too much blatant fanservice and too little actual characterization. I don't mind the current Strawhat ladies both being pretty (although I do wish Oda would stop with the "only pretty girls are respect-worthy female characters" trend lately), but Nami and Robin are still a far cry from that nonsense.
...am I the only one who would genuinely love to see an awesome fishwoman as the next Strawhat if we do get any more crew? Not mermaid. Female fishman. I'm tired of females having to be gorgeous to be liked; we've got several odd-looking crewmembers who are nonetheless welcome because they're good people. But all of those are guys. Dear Oda: equality plz.
