Sasha should've died for shock in the beginning.
Rape in Berserk is used as shock value which is fucking retarded.
Zabuza is one of the best villains in anime.
Meruem is overrated.
Aot should've stayed a zombie apocalypse.
A silent voice is 6/10 not a masterpiece.
Princess Mononoke is 5/10.
Akira movie is not that good but has one of the best opening scenes to a movie.
Anime as a medium is pretty shit. Don't compare this to actual shows and movies guys.
As much as I care about art and animation the story of an anime comes first, but if the animation is good enough an anime can't be considered the "worst".
Most people think that they have unpopular opinions but I have seen a hundred Demon Slayer sucks posts. Please ask yourself is your opinion really that unique?
You did NOT just call jjk mid bro u trippin. Kinda shit taste on that list no offense. Agree with some tho
You have no right to talk about my taste. My taste is not shit. You don't know how to rate.
Watch some more shounen rather than those midtier mainstream shounen. Then I would explain why I said JJK is mid.
JJK has higher rating than Death Note but it doesn't make it better than Death note.
I feel like in the anime community(probably not limited to it) there is some superiority complex that makes a lot of people think they can judge a show fairly. A lot get stuck in the opinions of the majority (it could also mean majority of the "intellectuals"), most don't know the meaning of certain words (look crunchyroll putting Eren as both best protagonist and best antagonist???), a LOT of people will confuse specific themes/way of writing, storytelling as better than others because they like them, some judge the overall show in response of the community (rate bad when community praises it and viceversa).
Maybe the first thing we should before rating "objectively" is to understand ourselves and what we like, THEN try to understand the show. Most of the times a lot of the criticism seems pointless because many people will just try to find a bad part of a certain show. I've written a blog post where I tried to "rate" some books like anime fans rate anime here. Tell me what you think
Aot's initial seasons are overrated af ( 1st season a 8.52? Really?)
FMA:brotherhood > Attack on titan
3 gatsu no lion is the best drama anime
Kara no kyoukai has the best OST of all anime (fact, not an opinion)
Monster has the best well written characters
Vinland saga > Kingdom
Attack on titan relies too much on shock value and plot armour
I think a blizzard just rolled in with these cold-ass takes lol.
Watched only the 1st season of aot
Hasn't watched 3 gatsu
Hasn't watched knk
Hasn't watched monster
Hasn't read vinland saga or kingdom
Proceeds to criticise my opinions
Yeah I have some that have got me a lot of insults, attacks, and threats lol
All I said once was Berserk 2016 and 2017 were fun anime to watch - FUN!- although very badly animated anyone can see that, and I got a LOT of hate and skitzo threats over that (the video also got 1.5 million views last I checked). As a big fan of the manga having read it many times back in the day, it was a huge treat even tho it was in shitty CGI. I asked many people who attacked me for it if they read the manga, very few did, and several of those people admitted that they only watched a small part of Berserk anyways. I've seen all the series up to 2017 multiple times. And I've definitely met more people who read the manga and liked all the anime adaptations than people who read the manga and hated the 2016/2017 series
Same video, I also said Blood-C is the best of the Blood series, that is my opinion, the reason being I've seen the others afaik including Blood+, and Blood-C was the most fun of em and 100% that makes it better to me in this case. And it had replay value and I love the characters even if they are simplistic. Many people took this so personally because Blood+ is a better series in terms of writing and I guess animation, but its just not as fun as C. I'm going to rewatch Blood+ tho to see if my opinion has changed after 10 ish years, I actually just added it cuz of this thread, but damn I remember it being so drawn out and overrated...
I also said ppl looking to get into Jojos should just start with Stardust Crusaders, you can imagine what happened with that and the Jojos fans lol. But the reason I say that is ppl quit when they start Jojos from the idr... young Dio season lol... and then they never see the amazing episodes later in Stardust Crusaders and I think it was Diamond. So imo for them to get the best experience overall they can start with SC and its not like they can't follow it cuz I started this way and it was fine lol. Then of course you can see the rest later. But this one disagreement makes Jojos fans hate you and they dont even consider hearing any alternate point of view. That community's toxic rep is deserved.
People have come to me for help then given me shit for rating Bikini Warriors an 8, which I stand by lmao. It's a fun show and again has replay value. The writing and animation isn't at the level of Monster, Shiki, or Shigurui but that's ok not every high scored anime has to be serious. Bikini Warriors to me is a perfect comedy lol cuz I love RPGs haha. And sometimes just being fun to me can get a high score, it doesn't cheapen other scores since they are different anime and have different styles and goals.
For example, it's perfectly reasonable to have a weird anime like Inferno Cop and serious one like Monster on your list and give them 10s. I don't like Inferno Cop but I get why ppl love it unironically lol.
So you see there's a theme here, many anime fans don't recognize "fun" or rather enjoyment as a rating factor, I've seen this countless times but it got REALLY bad in recent years. To them only animation and writing seem to matter. But I think all three factors are important.

While I agree that A Silent Voice isn't that good and is nowhere near considered a masterpiece, I have to disagree with that last sentence lol. Actual shows and movies no longer do it for me, although it's nice to occasionally take a break (even then I'm usually reading manga/manhwa instead). There's plenty of super good anime, underrated ones and hidden gems, the fact that there's so many means that everyone is bound to find something they really like.

LMAO
You don't necessarily have to read/watch all or even any of something to know what it's about or how the general public feels about it lol.
Like I've only watched season one of AOT, but I read the full plot synopsis on the wiki when I heard a lot of people weren't satisfied with it, so I know what it's about. Same goes with most of the other stuff you listed. Like 3 gatsu is rated highly and was on a lot of year end lists, so it's fair to assume it's good. Same with Monster. It's the fifth highest rated manga of all time. Even though I haven't read it, a score like that would heavily imply the characters are well-written. See where I'm going with this?
I just felt like a lot of these were either very mild or just stuff that isn't shocking to hear.
for aot:
- it's not a crime to dislike attack on titan, so many people treat it like it is. stop getting so offended over it. can't even nicely say the show isn't for me without people throwing a tantrum. me disliking it should not affect you or your enjoyment for the show, so why does it matter
- code geass has a gorgeous art style, so does clannad - i don't understand the hate for either
- hating on popular shounens with no good reason is getting super old and obnoxious
- leave my hero fans alone, most of the 'cringe' ones are teens who will grow out of their behaviour
- a lot of you don't realize the symbolism and work behind the second death note opening and immediately default to calling it "screamo trash" just because it's a kind of music you're unfamiliar with
- literally fuck off if you unnecessarily tell people their favourite anime is trash. it doesn't matter how bad it is. let them enjoy it. they did not ask for your opinion
- endless eight arc in haruhi was an extremely clever move and many of you entirely missed the point and meaning of it
- disliking a silent voice isn't really an unpopular opinion even though people think it is
- if you dislike an anime's art style so much that you *somehow* can't even bear to ever even try watching it, cool, good for you, but jesus christ, stop bringing up how much you hate the art style every time someone mentions the anime. i'm talking to you, clannad haters.
- anime fans focus so much on fan wars and "which anime is better" instead of actually enjoying and discussing anime and its sort of annoying
- popular animes are almost always popular for a reason - its normal to think theyre bad, but believe me, there are much worse animes than the popular shounens you hate. most of the actually *horrible* animes are super obscure because they are so bad.
- people care way too much about the length of an anime and finishing it and not actually taking the time to enjoy it
- 2000s anime >>>>>>> 2010s anime
- if you're gonna shit on anime piracy and then go and think your crunchyroll and funimation subscriptions are directly supporting anime studios, you clearly know nothing about how licensing works and shouldn't be shitting on anime piracy.
- no, bleach does not go to trash after soul society. you just don't like it (which is perfectly fine)
- bleach has a LOT of subtext (mostly manga-wise) that gets looked over a lot
- new, young anime fans really need way more variety in what they watch, and need to start watching more older animes
- unless a ship is problematic or geniunely fucked up, leave shippers alone, they aren't harming anyone. yes, even the boy x boy yaoi shippers.
- we really need much more ecchi series that don't revolve around minors and high schoolers and are about actual adults. i do not want to see panty shots of a underage 15 year old girl.

Look, more power to you if you say that all the Monogatari series' installments suck, but at least complete one installment before making that claim. Otherwise, it falls on deaf ears.
I can confidently say that Akame Ga Kill sucks, because I finished the whole thing, for example.

Jojo kinda overhyped from what I've watched. Seems solely meme-driven. But this is premature since I haven't watched the best seasons.
Inazuma Eleven is better than 90% of sports anime.
Rudeus Greyrat probably isn't a pedo. He's like 12, only his mind is older, which is an abstract concept in itself.
Rent a Girlfriend is unironically a masterpiece. Terribly written, but so good.
Tower of God is insanely good.
Quintessential quintuplets is even more mid than BNHA oml and I don't know how that's even possible.
Attack on Titan overrated. It's great, but is it as good as the fanbase hypes it up to be? Nah.
The "masterpiece plot twist" in S2 of AOT was bad. It barely had any impact on me, except seeming overly exaggerated.
Erased is amazing. Screw all of your critical opinions.
TPN S2 and Seven Deadly Sins S3 or 4 are in fierce competition for the biggest disappointments ever.
JJK could become one of the best shounen ever. Depends on future seasons.
Demon slayer shouldn't be compared to something like BNHA when it's an honestly above average, although not amazing shounen.
I don't care that I haven't read much manga, but if 20th century boys was adapted somewhat faithfully, it would knock FMAB and everything else out of the water.

Madoka Magica Rebellion is one of the best animated movies of all time.
The tiniest things are enough to please a lot of shounen fans. If you look at Crunchyroll comments of shounen anime it will be full of “I like how this trope is subverted” or “the female characters in this are the best because they aren’t sexualised”. To me it looks like their standards are brought down by generic and repetitive shounen so that even basic stuff seems revolutionary to some fans.
Mieruko Chan was a 5/10 that 70% consisted of the same stuff every episode.
Except none of these are unpopular opinions to begin with. If you wanna sound ballsy, at least go with something like "Hunter x Hunter is the worst garbage shit show of all time", or "Mieruko Chan is one of the finest postmodern magnum opus ever graced on this planet".
I don't get how people always get these "unpopular opinions" posts wrong. Let me regurgitate this: you're not supposed to state the popular opinions. Less popular than the most popular doesn't equate with unpopular. I know you're not the only one who writes bunch of popular opinions in this unpopular opinion thread, but you're the first I saw. So sorry dude, that I only brought you to the spotlight.
People are overreacting how aot didn't have a plot armor, because everyone they loved is being killed by hacksay...., i mean isayama, killed every 100 hundred characters that doesn't even have backstory, major role or meaning to one character arc, they just killed of random dudes and chicks in screen and kids will pretend it's brutal, lol, jojos, persona, hxh, fmab has better plot armor, the irony is, why aot didn't learn from hxh and fmab for it's plot armor management, now imagine, who is the only major character who died in aot?
yes, only fews of them, i know they mean a lot for some characters, like levi and kenny, jean and marco, but can't you see? the survey corps formed by armin/hange were only 2 died, and to all manga readers will know who, and their impact were not huge except for

I'm not encouraging you to make unpopular opinions just for the sake of it. I'm encouraging you to actually state the unpopular opinions. It's a thread about unpopular opinions, after all.
Trust me, you'll find plenty of people on MAL to back you up with everything you listed. Oh well, then again I guess I was just nitpicking. But the amount of popular "unpopular opinions" I've come across really does irritate me.
People who obsessively hate on and/ or act like a woman showing skin or having above average breasts inherently equates to sexualization and ruins a show are immature and need to get the hell over themselves.
I don't like gore I actually find it off-putting but I don't act like it's a crime against humanity.
In 99% of cases too gore and extreme levels of blood is totally '' unnecessary '' too which is a term I see thrown around in regards to this too.
Yeah, a character didn't '' NEED '' to have big boobs but there also didn't '' NEED '' to be so much blood or have gore on screen.
Guys also don't '' NEED '' to take their shirts off either but people are totally fine with them being allergic to shirts.
That's not to say I don't agree that Anime and Manga has a problem with sexualizing minors, I am specifically talking about young adults and adults.
Even in cases like Nezuko in Demon Slayer tho in one of her '' adult forms '' she has breasts which caused mental breakdowns recently.
If you only then thought that the show sexualized minors or even Nezuko herself because she got boobs then you weren't paying attention or you're just especially overly sensitive to breasts.
There's so many '' almost showed her crotch '' shots in the show both for her and other characters, but it's not boobs so people don't flip out about it or even notice.
So obsessing so much about her getting them when her body is adult came across as kinda absurd to me and like people just exposing how much they themselves sexualize breasts.
That was a problem with the beholder not the show or Mangaka..
Not saying people can't dislike certain things, I really hate the annoying screaming comedic relief trope.
But people always take it from '' I don't like this thing '' to '' it ruins it/ I don't like it therefore it needs to be changed or removed ''.
And if you can't even see an above average well-endowed woman without sexualizing it but you're totally fine with endless streams of shirtless guys then you're being kinda sexist.
Breasts are a secondary sex characteristic and so are male abs and chests, they're not genitals stop acting like it.
There's a reason why the wolf guys in the Twilight movies take their shirts off constantly stop being so fucking disingenuous acting like shirtless men isn't viewed as sexual but like even then hint of cleavage is basically the same as having ones dick out.
Just stop.

if i'm 7 episodes in to a 15 episode series and i'm not enjoying it, it sucks. not going to waste my time watching things that are not enjoyable for the sake of critiquing them, and all of the installments are very similar in style/execution.
Basically, the overall quality of anime has steadily gone downhill since around 2006. Every truly great series or movie came out before that point in time.

AoT ending isn't bad it's just rushed

Gabi is a good character who is better than Mikasa
Levi is overrated only for his looks, not a great character
Eren is still a good character even after ending
Yes I cringed at that Eren scene
Non AoT related:
JJK and Demon Slayer are overrated and carried by animation. Their story and characters are mid.
Tokyo Revengers is also overrated but better than both of these
MHA gets hate due to toxic shippers not its story even though its mid
OPM > Mob Psycho > Solo Levelling
Even though One Piece is great, Luffy is the worst mc among the so called Big Three anime
Hunter x Hunter is amazing but overrated, Chimera Ant is overrated, 2/3 of its boring, though climax is masterpiece
Jojo is overrated, it's known only for its memes
