Re: Reaction to characters

generally speaking, it's depth of development. a character has to go from unlikeable to having at least one redeeming factor, a realistic one, and it's even better for characters who either evolve into more interesting/better people or reveal that they've been one all along.

I don't have a lot of examples that aren't One Piece, though. Oda is a master at taking characters I've loathed from the outset and putting enough work into them to make me 180 on them. The short list includes Usopp, Bon Kurei, Crocodile, Aokiji, Hacchan, Jimbe, Trafalgar Law, Bartolomeo, Corazon, and even Caesar Clown to a little extent. I hate myself for changing my stance on Caesar, no less, because it's as little as "he did that funny thing in that one scene" even though he's irredeemable trash.

Conversely, I don't really get turned off by characters but I do get tired or bored of them if they don't change. Or, if the writer(s) forgets that they even exist and shunts them to a background role, completely stripping them of their likeable qualities and failing to make use of their potential. See: Bleach.
