Code Geass is on here for being too happy. Okay. Sure. (Happy for the "wrong" people - but the whole point of the story is that there are no "wrong people" who don't deserve to be happy.)

Code Geass is here because after Euphinator incident many people thought "How there can be any kind of happy ending after that?" Granted, story rides on Gray-and-Grey Morality, and i liked it from the begginning to the end, but i understand why people were turned off by it. Doesn't seem like misuse to me.
- Naruto:
- Sasuke versus Danzo. Sasuke just left two of his companions to die because saving them would've been inconvenient and joined a terrorist organisation to destroy the entire Leaf Village for having eradicated his clan (the Uchiha were planning a coup, which likely would have resulted in a civil war) even though only four people knew of it. Danzo is a true Konoha patriot... except his vision of Konoha is a vaguely fascist society which places almost no value on the individual. Danzo has also had a hand in murdering a group of peaceful activists in a foreign country which ended up radicalizing the survivors into becoming the terrorist organization that Sasuke would join, and was willing to let people in Konoha die so he could become Hokage. Not to mention the mind control he used at the ninja version of the United Nations. Many people felt that Danzo became a little sympathetic when he has a Heel Realization just before dying, which shows just how unsympathetic Sasuke had become by comparison.
- Sakura and Sasuke's "romance". The problem is that neither of them are really likeable (except for Sakura on certain occasions, but that's beside the point) to the point that fans hardly care about their relationship. The former still pines for Sasuke despite never returning her feelings, attempting to kill her multiple times along with other Konoha residents and eventually, Take Over the World. The latter shows absolutely no interest in her despite her repeated love confessions, performs callous acts on other people including Team 7 that realistically would have given him a death sentence and abandons his own child just to search for someone being more powerful than Kaguya, to the point that he doesn't even know what she looks like and attempts to kill her the first time they meet.
That's two moments in the story, first one not particulary long, second one longer but far from the main plot, doesn't seem like it could turn off from the story as a whole. Especially the second one seems like a shoehorn, since there are many other tropes for badly handled love stories.
