As I'm writing this the example in my head is Boku No Pico. Haven't seen it because it looks boring and just not my fetish but I've always wondered:

It seems more like a hentai for shotacons than for people who are as straight as an arrow. If so then it probably isn't really that bad(I think?). People just watch stuff outside their comfort zone and then complain. It's probably masterpiece to its target audience(pure speculation once again)

I feel kind of bad for the anime. Also for the fans which have been forced into hiding.

How to convert this into am AD thread now.....Err so are there other anime which get tagged ''bad'' or receive heat but are simply cases of pandering to a certain audience the way Boku No Pico panders to it own?

There can be many kinds of bad :

1. Trainwreck : The best kind
2. So bad it's good : Bad but hilarious
3. Legit bad : Shit you want to throw up.

If it's the first two, they're perfectly fine imo . In fact, I'm a fan of the first kind .
However, the 3rd kind, nothing to be said...!

Boku no Pico is a hentai and really shouldn't be compared with regular non-hentai anime.

I mean you wouldn't compare a porn movie with a non-porn movie.

And Boku no Pico isn't even THAT bad...it gets a bad rap due to the fact that...

A) It's Yaoi
B) It's shotacon
C) it's basically a meme

But it's no worse or better than your regular hentai...it's got a lot of sex and that's it...no big deal.

To answer your question at the bottom - probably.

People enjoy different things. It's a whatever, honestly.
If it doesn't adhere to one's person or interest, people tend to express some form of justification as to why that is. That can be interpreted as criticism or acknowledged simply for what it may be - difference in taste. To the extent that people choose to go about it is what builds the notion that something is 'bad'.

The Boku no Pico meme is the reason I finally decided to watch it, and I remember thinking..."Oh shit, just how bad is this gonna be???"

In the end it was just traps fucking with each other...

The third episode was definitely the best....gotta admit, never thought I could see so many sex positions in a threesome with traps.

Nothing is 'objectively bad'. Just popular opinions..
No matter how despicably disgusting a piece of shit may be there's always someone who will like it..

As for Boku no Pico, it's actually a pretty good hentai.
If you're into little boys that is..

I can't comment on it's quality because I haven't watched it. But as far as I'm aware it's basically just hentai so, it's pedo hentai anime(porn not known for incredible quality) that alot of people are baited into watching. And really, it's popular pedo anime, it's..a meme. No one really critically analysis it, and no one chooses to watch it so it often misses it's target audience.

Well, similarly, shounen anime like One Piece pander to people who like shonen and people who don't usually don't like shonen..don't like One Piece. Just like Goku no Piccolo and shotacon

But 1. One Piece isn't a one shot, and if BNP isn't a one-shot that's the amount of episodes anyone watches, and 2. There is some difference between dum shonen and shotacon. You make that distinction yourself.

Sometimes you don't really know if you'll like something until you try, there's no problem with watching shonen, or shotacon, and realizing adrenaline filled action men or gay pedo anime just isn't for you.

this is joke right? You-re...You're joking right?.... You gotta be joking... You have to be... I mean Boku no Pico... Omg.... You should feel sorry for the people who watched it... Now I'm not one to call an anime shit just because I didn't like it... But Boku no Pico... That.... Is worse than shit, there are no words to describe how horrible it is...

Now if seeing 10 year old boys who are being gay to another while watching a woman play with a dildo, then dressing like girls to only get fucked by older men, one in which is related to one of them... Then worrying about spilling ice cream.... Be my guest but don't bring that monstrosity here, because some of use actually bleached our eyes

I watched Glasslip and I can assure you that it's pretty fucking bad. However, I think it's around as good as Akira which some people still think is a masterpiece and I have seen some people on MAL who don't even hate Glasslip.

Well, bad on the MAL rating system is a 4, and really; if an anime's overall rating is 4, you'd better watch out.
There are several types of bad anyways.

The content is garbage and makes you want to knock nails into a wall with your head
It looks like they made the anime by panning a slideshow and moving the mouth parts a bit.
The anime looks like a 3rd grader used a flipbook to make it
The characters' voices or the soundtrack makes you want to shove chopsticks in your ears
Etc.

You can't compare hentai to other genres. Hentai is about sexual gratification. It's not even meant to be watched from beginning to end, but only the stuff that turns you on.

All other genres are about storytelling. Talk about them, not hentai.

There are many kinds of bad as Z-Dante has said.

Personally I classify Boku no Pico as a hentai series and not an anime series , but when considering how "good" it is I wouldn't give an opinion in this case.

Boku no Pico was made to please a small minority of the anime community , those that are both homosexual and like shota. Since I am neither of those I wouldn't be the target audience. Nonetheless , it still has recieved a negative stigma from the majority of anime viewers.

I classify something as bad when it fails to please no one. For example, Pupa. Prior fans were digusted at how the anime adaptation went and so were new watchers. I also classify something as "bad" when it doesn't perform well when analysed critically AND I didn't enjoy it.

The bad you're talking about is preference bad. Somebody who dislikes shotacon yaoi is obviously going to hate Boku no Pico, regardless of whether they've actually watched it or not. It's the same thing with people who hate 90% of harem/ecchi anime for no reason other than the fact that it's harem and ecchi.

Some anime aren't necessarily horrible or bad, but they're just not meant for a very wide and public audience. Kind of like the horror genre. I don't really like horror; therefore most horror anime would be bad to me, though it could be good to somebody else.

I doubt there's an anime that won't please anyone. The world is full of people. The probability someone will enjoy it, someone will find something good in an anime is very high.

The difficulty isn't in appealing to a single person but in appealing to a wide audience.

Saying it's bad or it having a bad rating is just based on the opinion of you or the majority, so it's doesn't necessarily mean it's bad :3

Yaoi anime seem to be a prime candidate to get called bad or awful by those who haven't seen it, because "Gays are scary ew!" or some other bullshit. If you don't like watching mahou shoujo, then it's because it's just not for you. If you don't like slice of life, then that's fine because you like other things.
If you don't like yaoi it's because it's the worst type of anime there is and you're a raging fujoshi if you like it.

Double standards, really. As soon as BL is involved people flip the fuck out.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Some things can be so bad that it's good. For example, I really enjoy the Sword Art Online series for some reason. There is just something about SAO that makes me really enjoy it. I love the action and the animation. It's also pretty funny how Kirito is a Gary Stu.

1) Boku no Piko isn't necessarily worse than other hentai anime (I didn't bother watching it either). It just has a target audience that is unusually narrow, and gets revulsion from intolerant people outside the target audience. Which is why it's used as a bad recommendation - it's statistically likely to make the viewer feel uncomfortable.

Pupa seems to be the same, but with more cannibalism and less pedophilia.

It does not mean that such anime are, in fact, bad.

2) A lot of people keep calling SAO "bad". It is not. It's not a masterpiece, but it's pretty good.
These people seem to want perfection. That's their crazy point of view, which isn't shared by people like me.
I'm sure you've seen this dichotomy in anime already: a girl who strives to be perfect dancer/swordswoman/whatever to the point of losing humanity, versus a girl (or a boy) who enjoys what she does and doesn't forget to rest, make friends, help others and so on.

3) Some anime are better than others. Some are worse. How much of the "worse" end of distribution to call "bad" depends on the person.

But you don't need to hate action to hate SAO, you don't need to hate romance to hate, I don't know, Maison Ikkoku(nice series). When it comes to "aimed at the wrong audience", at least.

However, you can't compare hentai to SAO, one is there to sexually titillate and the other to entertain. It's just two different things, so perhaps the argument against criticizing BNP is "why are you criticizing porn?", and that's a great point. But SAO isn't porn, unless it's SAO 16.5 anyway.

As the more rational people here have pointed out, "bad" is subjective as well as contextual. Something tells me if I were attracted to little boys I'd really enjoy BnP. Who knows, maybe it's a cult classic within the Catholic Church?

I'm not attracted to little boys, but Boku no Pico was hot. BOING! It's not like it has any noteworthy plot or style, so I don't even know what to rate it. But it's entertaining as fuck. Watch it before you knock it.
