What's the anime with a score of over 8.50 that you didn't like?

Kimi no na Wa. I thought it was a garbage story with good animation

Bro had to scout my account to find something he doesn’t agree on, just to state his opinion not even connected to my comment. Feeling better now?

1. Likely Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Part 2. Many people try to strawman me and say that " he is not evil, he is flawed", as if there were not people out there who loved dogs but hurt people. I am not saying Rudeus is a completely annoying asshole or completely evil, I am just saying he is too much of one.
   
   The entire premise of the series can be summed of as "what if we made Mineta from Boku No hero Academia the main character of an isekai, with even more pervyness?" To me, I do not know why anyone would want to watch that. Mineta sucks balls.
   
   
2. Kaguya-sama is weird since I still think it is a fine anime, but I do agree that maybe part of it overstayed its welcome. Just as Gravity Falls has only two seasons and a finished narrative, I am thinking maybe the entire story of the series went on for a bit too long, honestly. I completely understand the few negative criticisms had by the third season.
   
   
3. I love Code Geass, but it is not a well-written anime. It is entertaining for the spectacle similar to TTLG, but less intentional I'd argue. Or in essence, a very high budget The Room.
   
   
4. Graveyard of the Fireflies feels like a tragedy without characters putting in effort, and to me this undermines the entire tragedy. I understand the real world context, and to me it is a pity that the real story is so much more interesting. At the same time, I won't fault Isao Takahata for this since writing a story like this is at its core meant to be carthatic to the viewer. If I take this film and examine it as an aspect of his life and times, I appreciate more than I do as a film divorced from that very personal context.

Spy x Family. The hype was so big for nothing, to be honest

Addressing the Mushoku Tensei one. I personally think, that whether the main character is good or evil doesn’t determine if the anime is good. I think that Rudeus is pretty evil, but Mushoku Tensei is one of my favourites. I believe that if an anime makes you dislike/hate a character that is objectively evil, it means that it’s really well made!

It is the reason why I like Happy Sugar Life. The difference to me is that Happy Sugar Life never pretended that Satou was a good person. It acknowledged her humanity, but only in the context of addressing just how awful she was as a result of her trauma. She’s still a literal groomer of an 8 year girl she essentially kidnapped off the streets.

This is the first reason why I don’t agree with you that Mushoku is well-written; Rudeus’ flaws concerning his perversion are not the main focus of his character arc. That would actually be mostly his self-esteem issues. Rudeus’ pedophilia and sexual perversions are treated as permissible by the story alongside his father, but the story takes itself way too seriously compared to Uza-Maid for this to really work.

People hate Mineta, but not in the same way they may hate Griffith. Hatred of Griffith stems from how well-written the relationships between him and the Band of Hawk are. Hatred for Mineta stems from how annoying Mineta is.

The difference then is the reader asking “why even have Mineta scenes”, and that much is because he does not advance the plot. He is not funny, just crass.

I also bring up Turner Diaries here. Turner Diaries is white supremacist fan fiction. The main character commits genocide, and this makes him easy to hate because the author thinks he is in the right to kill non-whites. Do you think this series is well-written because I hate the main character and what he stands for?

Mushoku then has two problems for me. Rudeus is not nearly as good a person as the series thinks he is, and he is so unpleasant that he is pretty annoying. It is actually pretty rare to have a character I can say is both too evil and annoying.
