I haven't seen Akira, but Princess Mononoke is spectacular. I've seen it again and again, and it never disappoints.

But I do think Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind does not live up to the hype. I can forgive Miyazaki, because his films got better over time and the themes in the movie carried over into Princess Mononoke, but Nausicaa disappointed me when I watched it, so much that I didn't even finish it even though I was close to the ending. Nausicaa herself had no character flaws (something I love about Miyazaki characters), making her the biggest Mary Sue I've ever seen. :/

Well look at all the ones that get famous though.
Bleach, Deathnote, Naruto, etc. They arent even good!
Once a good anime becomes "YTV" material then I'll change my views on mainstream anime.

thats a mistake an anime can become famous enough to be taken to other countrys lets see

higurashi is going to air in some other places
death note is not a bad anime... its a "7" for me but is overrated people gives it a 9 10
bleach is a "5" anime not bad but no good too
yeah naruto sucks
and no for example one piece NOT DUBBED AND NOT THX 4KIDS its better its at least an 7 i give it a 8 if i look complety over it... the manga is awesome but still... the anime has mistakes that gives it lower ranking

and also dont know how much you have seen of each anime but you cant judge an anime for the first chapters... i watched 17 chapters of lucky star until i offiacialy say it was complety shit
i tryied to keep watching naruto in the begging was good but in the end sucked
and yes one piece first chapters in anime suck... it really get goods until arround chapter 20... and then its start to go up and up... 20 to 45 is great but until that its not really good

Nyuu and Kabi, stop fighting.

Yeah, we don't need fights in here =(

everyone has different likes and dislikes. You don't have to hate each other for it

im not fighting with anyone x.X

but still i say you have to watch atleast 20% of an anime before saying if it is good or bad
also if it becomes famous or not it doesnt make it worse or better
the ideal way to judge an anime is to awtch it a lot...

there are diference between saying I DONT LIKE IT and saying IT SUCKS
for saying it sucks you have to know the anime you are talking about enough to say that it sucks... you cannot judge it using a few chapters...
and saying you dont like it.. ok you may not like fight romance w/e

but its not the same saying "they are bad" as saying "i dont like it"

overrated as in very popular but phailed to keep me awake and enjoy the damn thing

1. Haruhi Suzumiya - first episode did nothing. the super famous dance, did not excites me. Aya Hirano superb debut as seiyuu, not interesting. plot is bland. phail.

2. Shakugan no Shana - i tried, honestly. two times i give it a try and even to finish a single episode is a pain in the ass. i fell asleep, TWICE waiting for anything interesting to show up but none. phail.

3. Lucky Star - self explanatory.

Remember this is my opinion. You don't have to take it offensively or anything.

1. NARUTO
2. Bleach ( I didn't know you could pull off over 100 fillers and still run a show)
3. LUCKY STAR
4. Strike Witches (believe me. it's overrated)
5. One Piece
6. Code Geass (R1, R2)
7. Ouran High School Host Club

I always thought Strike Witches was really hated?

I've never even heard of Strike Witches. O_O

From what I've seen, it's very hated because of all the fanservice.

I agree. I only started watching it yesterday, saw three episodes and I can't see why everyone loves it. Plus what's with the random episode order.
Either way I'm still going to finish watching it because it's not that long a series.

Funny, i never heard of that anime before and now someone says it's overrated. :D

that anime just barely finished like a week ago. Too early to tell if it's really overrated or not

What is this?

You guys are ragging on some really good shows here. The only reason I hate Lucky Star is because it's pretty much like Jerry Seinfeld ( Not Funny ).

I thought I joined the anti-Lucky Star Club not the "oh I'm Emo so I'll go against what everyone else says because they are all posers" club. Why doesn't someone just make a "let's pretend to cut ourselves and dye our hair black in a mainstream fashion while being hypocritical and complaining about the "mainstream" " thread.

I'm honestly surprised someone here hasn't said "Cowboy Bebop is like teh overrated". But then again maybe someone did. I couldn't be bothered reading through all these ridiculous submissions.

SCREW YOU JERRY SEINFELD WAS HILARIOUS

This is a discussion and therefore we are entitled to our opinions. Just because the majority of people like certain anime series or whatever doesn't mean everyone has to.

Oh and regarding Cowboy Bebop, I think that one is overrated as well just because it's not AS GOOD AS everyone says it is (judging from the first episode). I still like it though and plan to finish watching it sometime next week.

Also, the fact that you call us all "Emo" just shows how childish you are.

He's just mad because nobody likes Naruto.

I mean, it was a good enough series but it should have stopped a long time ago.

They should have just found a way of ending it when Itachi died, but no, they had to go and make Sasuke even more of an anoying bitch than he was in the first place.

@hogkill:

You didn't join the "Everybody Agrees with hogkill Club". I already explained to you that I wasn't emo or a poser, and you're being childish by trying to make that generalization stick. My hair is and has always been chestnut brown. You couldn't stand to read the thread but still uneqivocally condemn it? That sort of condemnation carries so little weight it's laughable.
