“I know I should hate him… but I can’t,” is a sentiment many fans might relate to when encountering countless villainous characters in the world of anime. To identify the most despised characters that fans are nonetheless compelled to love, Charapedia, a Japanese site, conducted a survey seeking opinions from their readers last week to determine who fits the bill of “must love”:
