I find wimpy-whining characters, even children, 
just don't do it for me in anime. I love the 
Escaflowne movie, but I can't stand "Hitomi" the 
main female lead character because she "whines" 
all the time, and seems so dense. It's nerve-
racking. I always contemplate whether or not to 
collect a cel of her for just that reason. If I 
could get over her weaknesses, I'd might go for 
it. In real life I put up with it all the time. 
In anime I don't have too ^-^.
