Basically an anime you realise that it's not that great but you still enjoy it for your own reasons.

I don't really have that, if I enjoy an anime, then I think it's good, but the closest example is probably Warau arsnotoria sun, a lot of times the story and the setting doesn't make sense but I just enjoy it a lot, like its atmosphere.

If someone ask you a question, and you only have a small answer, but you’re still answering the question why should you have to write a paragraph to answer a question

Hyperdimension Neptunia



I have no explanation why I liked that show, I mean it was trashy, but it was at least self aware trash.

Well no.

If I enjoyed something in the past/currently it'll receive from 6 to 10.
If I am/was neutral it will receive 5/10
If I didn't enjoy something in the past/currently it'll receive from 1 to 4.

If I have given a score, it will not be changed no matter how many years will pass.

I unironically enjoyed SAO, it's like junk food, only worse for you and it rots your brain, but it's a lot of fun if you want to turn your brain off.

But, I heavily prefer the abridged SAO, has all the dumb fun, but has actually good writing.
Just an avid anime watcher of 18 years, not much else I could say about myself (that I don't want to reveal, of course, just ask if you wanna know more!)

Genuinely loved Free! seasons 1 and 2 (nothing after though). It was so unabashedly fanservice and BL bait, but I still loved it despite that lmao. It was one of my favorites / hyper-fixations when it first began airing and stayed that way up until the wholly unnecessary season 3 happened.

ayakashi triangle. Massive downgrade from yabuki's previous works with a much worse plot. The mal score for both anime and manga is laughably low even relative to other things in the genre. but i like the art style and that is pretty much it

Damn this is a good question. I've seen some trash anime and it's really hard to pin point which one I enjoyed more lol.
Being honest, if only pure "enjoyment" is being counted... Maybe berserk 2016? The so bad it's good energy from that made me wheeze constantly.
Kinda the same with a lot of other animes like Arifureta. 
If I had to say the one I enjoyed the most as an anime I honestly couldn't tell. Maybe SAO I guess, I loved the concept of the first season (even if it was executed horridly)

"Favorite" might be a bit strong of a descriptor, but one anime I enjoyed recently that fits this criteria is Heaven's Lost Property. 

The show is wish fulfillment ecchi trash with a comically awful MC who regularly molests his harem and other girls (played off as comedy, of course). 

Still, the show is quite entertaining if you just turn off your brain and let yourself enjoy all the wacky hijinks. And once the serious plot finally kicks in, it's a little try-hard at times, but I found it exciting and emotionally stimulating. Unexpectedly, I grew very attached to Nymph. Many tears were shed. Lastly, I should mention how well-made the anime is. Really nice art, animation, directing, etc. and each episode has a unique ending song and video, which was fun. Overall, a flawed but entertaining show. (: I rated both seasons 6/10.

Another probably… I mainly enjoyed the over the top, GOW Greek saga like deaths. I would have went full on LMAO MODE if I saw one of the characters get a door slammed 10 times on their face similarly to how Kratos did to Theseus but it goes to show that you can’t always get what you want…

@Shmubm wow they are so cute! The one with blue hair seems very approachable and friendly, however the one with the red hair seems like she would run away several hundred meters after I show her a video I saw today in nature of 3 wild boars eating alive a leopard…

Here is how the interaction would go:

Me: Hey nice to meet you my name is Jackof-allspades nice to meet you!

Red: h-hey…

Me: It sure is a beautiful day in the park today are you enjoying the nature around us?

Red: umm, well the squirrels and turtles are kinda cute. But that cat over there is staring at me with a mean look on its face.

Me: Don’t worry, Cats aren’t as tough as nature check out this YouTube video called: Wild Boar attack leopard

Her: Aiiieeeeeee!!!!! Runs away with eyes closed and tears going down her face

Me: Welp, I guess I got rejected. Time to try my luck with Blue hair and this time I won’t show her a video of 3 Boars mercilessly tearing apart a Leopard on some road in India.

probably baki.

honestly though, the only thing keeping it at meh is the animation.

if we go to "good" but not the best of the best category, then its steins;gate 0.

Tokyo Ghoul. The anime were not well adapted but I just like the setting and story, I'm still reading the manga.

Other than that, ecchi anime with voice actresses I like(mostly Saito Chiwa). I'll watch those from time to time as my guilty pleasure.

Popcorn anime does exist but I try not to go out of my way to indulge in it. Even if I think it's fun time in a uniquely distinct way.

People shit on it a lot but Back Street Girls was funny as all hell. The fact that it looked kind of ugly with the mix of humor. PEAK.

Junjou Romantica also can go on here too I guess. I grew up with the damn thing and if Studio Deen somehow made ANOTHER SEASON my ass would be present even if there is so much dumb shit.
