Top 10 Lovable Idiots in Anime

The very definition of a lovable lump of stupid. He’d be perfect if he weren’t such an idiot... or would he? He’s certainly got high marks in swordsmanship and casting spells... when he remembers them. That being said, he’s also prone to falling for obvious tricks, blurting out all the wrong things, or frustrating people when they constantly have to explain the basics to him. However, through him, we the viewers learn about the intricacies of their world. So, in a way, we need his moronic behaviour.

Every host club needs a good leader. One that is charismatic, gorgeous, compassionate, perceptive to the feelings of others, intelligent... well, four out of five ain’t bad, right? While the club has its fair share of colorful characters, none of them hold a candle to its president. However, it’s really hard to get frustrated at his idiotic behavior since he cares for everyone so much... it’s just that the boy needs some sense knocked into that pretty little blond skull of his from time to time.

Sometimes, an idiot needs a partner so he can release his full, moronic potential. Together, these two lovers are a pair of idiotic thieves who dress up in costume to commit lavish crimes. However, some of the things they steal are a bit... out there. Being the idiot savant thieves that they are, they accidentally become immortal... and somehow don’t realize it for almost 70 years. Even if they lack the brain cells, you can’t help but smile at them as they “sprinkle happiness” over everyone they meet.

You can really take your pick with this group. Between the clumsy maid who trips over her own feet, the cute gardener who kills all the plant life he touches, or the cook who thinks a flamethrower is better than using an oven. These three baboons are the very definition of incompetence, and always need to be kept in check by the titular Black Butler himself. How did they ever get employed at the house, especially since Sebastian can get everything done in a supernatural instant? We’d understand if they were some sort of epic, hired protection using their jobs as covers but… Oh. Carry on, then.

When women say, “All men are stupid,” me everywhere have this guy to thank for it. He’s the kind of idiot who gives himself a “cool” nickname but is the only person who uses it. He also thinks that all women love him, particularly female lead, Akane and a certain “Pigtailed Girl” -- and no, he never realizes that the girl is his nemesis, Ranma. You’d think he’d, at least, be humorously torn between his two not-loves, but he’s so idiotically cocky that he assumes that he can have both .Ugh.
