It's not about a katana vs broadsword or other European weapon. It's about things I find plausibly available. I don't know anyone who has a combat ready sword, they're all cheap display pieces that would suck in combat. Yet I have ~7 guns, a decent supply of ammo, a good sickle for taking out weeds on the edge of my property, a nice handy selection of axes, hatchets, sledgehammers, chainsaws, shovels, and even a nice 10ft long spear I use for fishing. Everyone else in the story is equipped with stuff they find in their garage, I find that stuff more engaging.
So when all the stars align and that character shows up I found her unlikable in this particular story. She would be awesome next to Bruce Campbell in a good zombie flick, not so great in Walking Dead.

Out of curiosity, have you read the comic? I'm not implying that it should make you like the character. And I also understand why you wouldn't like this, based on the amount of time one has actually been exposed to Michonne in the show up until this point.
I still think one shouldn't jump to conclusions based on 30 seconds of air time, though.

Yeah, I read everything past their encounters with the other village. I don't want to give spoilers to those who didn't read it but you know what I mean.
It's not that I think people are dumb for liking her, I'm just expressing my opinion on the matter. She's not the typical thing I enjoy in the story. She's a hardened zombie killing warrior in a world of regular people.
