I know that one will be suggested alot (well hopefully not now) but I was wondering if anyone knows of decent romance+any-other-genres-is-fine-too anime with a bullied male MC, maybe something where he's a loner cuz he gets bullied a lot, meets girl, girl opens him up, he gets stronger, whatever.

Any setting or theme is fine, minus Yaoi/Yuri

Thanks for the help guys

Bullying doesn't exactly play a big part, but there is a character who takes advantage of the MC's kindness

I think bullying isn't a major part of most male protagonists, but what does pop up are guys who tend to be loners because they don't get along with everyone else.

So I'm just gonna say... I looked at your list, and I'm gonna ask you if you're serious about your score for Code Geass. I recognize that it's not a series that everyone will like, but how does it get a 4 when Guilty Crown on your list gets a 9?

One that comes out of the top of my head is

History's strongest disciple Kenichi (Thought it may not fit your category)

The main character. I couldn't stand Lelouch. I actually liked Guilty Crown quite a bit, it had the whole 'die a hero or live long enough to be a villain' feel to it. I understand some peoples feelings about Code Geass, but if I don't rate them at what I think my own personal enjoyment factor was, then when asking for recommendations, no one will have a clue what I like if I rate everything objectively.

Wasn't Lelouch

I'm not saying you shouldn't go against the norm and rate things differently from how you feel! I was just very...surprised.

Well, I mean I didn't like him as a person. I just couldn't tolerate watching him. I understand that maybe sometimes I should try to detach myself from that sort of quirk, but for me, the, by far, most important aspect of a form of media is the main character, literally everything else about the thing could be 100% pure gold, top ten perfect, but if I don't like the mc, it ruins it all for me. Likewise, even if everything else is total drivel, completely cliche-ridden pomp, if I like the mc, I can thoroughly enjoy it.

Oh lord.. while it does fit with what OP is asking for, I do not recommend this. The bulling he's put through is never addressed as a negative thing. We are supposed to enjoy his suffering. If you can't enjoy Ayumu being a punching bag, you can't enjoy the show. Because that's where more than half its comedy is derived from: treating Ayumu like utter dog piss.

And I agree, Shu is a better character than Lelouch.

Yea, although I enjoyed the show, it's one of my most used examples for things I don't like, mainly being the MC being treated like that, and then I always get into arguments about how that ISNT Tsundere because it is soooo much worse than tsundere

shu was better than lelouch lol wtf r u talkin abt abt everyone in the anime community likes lelouch cause he was enjoyable and very unpredictable character
he basically sacrificed himself by making everyone hate on him and saved the world
shu was utter crap as a mc he was annoying and wtf did he accomplish? guy wouldve been better as a mc than shu.look if u hate code geass and lelouch i respect that cause its ur opinion but to say shu is better than lelouch?lol its like saying fairytail was better than fate zero.

You respect their opinion unless their opinion is about a character? And you do realize that there are absolutely some people out there who will say that Fairy Tail IS better than Fate Zero, right?

I wasn't part of this conversation but in my opinion Fairytail was better than Fate/Zero but worse than Fate/Zero Unlimited Blade Works and the movies.
