History TheScrappy / AnimeAndManga

* ''Manga/RentAGirlfriend'': ''Nobody'' likes Mami. Not only does she come off as a [[ManipulativeBitch blatant manipulator who toys with people's feelings]], with her introduction showing that she broke up with Kazuya after just a month with the explanation of meeting someone she likes more [[BlatantLies (which is later revealed to be a lie)]], fans are further put off by how cruelly she treats him. During a mixer, she viciously insults him and derides him as a pervert in front of Chizuru, which her and Kazuya's friends [[EveryoneHasStandards find very uncomfortable despite their own tendency to rib on him]]. And she even goes as far to demand Kazuya ''[[NeverMyFault apologizes on her behalf]]'' when Chizuru defends him and calls her out on it. Fans are also extremely put off for her motives for trying to break Kazuya and Chizuru up, which isn't because she still likes Kazuya and wants him back like most instances of this, but out of spite over the fact [[EvilIsPetty that Kazuya apparently found another girlfriend so soon after she dumped him.]] While a large part of this is intentional due to her being a HateSink, the author ended up going a bit too far, where instead of being a character that readers/viewers LoveToHate, she became a character that people just want gone from the story entirely.

** Super Android 17 is often regarded as the weakest major ArcVillain in the franchise, which is notable for a series where the villains tend to be very well-liked. This mainly stems from his origin and concept being completely inexplicable: his creators built a robot on par with Goku and carrying a connection to 17 that allowed them to remotely control him and open a portal to his location, with no discernible explanation for where they got the resources to do so ''[[OffscreenVillainDarkMatter while in Hell]]'', and they can fuse into a being stronger than Super Saiyan 4 Goku... somehow. He also has the shortest arc, and displays very little personality or unique traits across that arc, with him being under mind control for most of the arc and his fighting style coming across as a retread of past Androids. And being under mind control, it means 17, an already underutilized character, is effectively written out of the series in ''an arc where he's the focal character''--something that became even more widely mocked when ''Super'' managed to make 17 important in a much better-received fashion. To drive it home further, the arc [[OutOfFocus barely puts any focus on either Android 17 for quite some time,]] instead preferring to drag its feet by dedicating itself to the heroes defeating every villain in the series with little fanfare before finally getting to the main threat, meaning 17 is wasted ''even more.'' Pretty much the only positive things fans tend to say about him is that he has nice hair, [[GatlingGood Hell's Storm]] is a cool attack, and he prompted one of his sister's very few spotlight moments in that series. It doesn't help that his status as an ArcVillain ensures he'll show up whenever a game wants to make a nod to ''GT,'' and games that include ''every'' major antagonist in this series will inevitably include him as a playable character.

** While opinions on ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' and its villains range wildly, the most hated of all its villains tends to be Super Android 17.

** Future Rogue initially gained interest for killing Future Lucy and then easily defeating the main protagonist. However, his characterization proved largely lacking as his arc progressed, and the revelation that his StartOfDarkness was the death of Frosch (who, as Natsu points out, his actions are endangering) earned him widespread scorn.

* ''Anime/WhisperedWords'': Poor Akemiya, who as [[TheOneGuy the lone guy]] in a [[GirlsLove yuri]] show doesn't get much love from the fans.

** Near is also a Scrappy, [[spoiler: More specifically, he's a ReplacementScrappy who is seen as a less interesting copy of L]]

[[folder:''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'']]

* ''Anime/BakuganBattleBrawlers'': Baron is the show's scrappy. He's an [[FanBoy idolizing twit]] who looks like a strong man but has a voice that is higher pitched than his ''three year old sister''. He's generally incompetent, and mocked as the worst character even on the show. Still, he's done nothing to earn himself any pity.
