Is there any anime that you haven't watched yet but you know it's good without even watching it?

Maybe it could be an anime that you put on hold and saving it for those times when you got nothing to watch because you want something good. Or it could be an anime that is overhyped, maybe something you saw a trailer of or opening and it hooked your attention or like you may have had a friend recommend it to you heaps of times because it's good. Maybe it could be an anime that's like a classic or that people consider "must watch" anime, maybe it's an anime that you read good reviews about or you read the summary and that sounded like your type of anime. Maybe you go based on ratings and it had a high rating or it could be an anime that inspired a lot of anime thus you've seen it referenced heaps of times

None, I either watch it and see for myself if it's good, or I don't have any opinion on it. There are a lot that sound interesting to me based on the synopsis or internet comments, thus I put them in my plan to watch list, but I'm not immediately assuming they're good or anything.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Nope. I absolutely don't know if something is good until I've watched it. I've been jaded by anime I thought would be good, but I ended up hating (Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou, D.N.Angel, Fruits Basket, both adaptations of Kanon, Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai!, Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan, and others I'm failing to remember). If I haven't watched it, then I don't have a reason to hold an opinion on the quality of it.
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

I refrain from saying sth is good before even watching it. Just cuz it has many elements I generally like doesn't mean I'll enjoy it regardless of having watched it or not.

You cannot know whether a show's "good" just by word of mouth. The word(s) you're looking for is "popular"/"liked by a lot of people".

There are too many examples for me to cite, I dropped too many things that are probably good.

"Is there any anime that you haven't watched yet but you know it's good without even watching it?"
No, I've developed trust issues over time and I'm no longer willing to have very high expectations towards a specific anime.

There's stuff that I know is well-regarded but that doesn't mean that I might like it. I'd still like to think that even if it isn't to my taste that I can understand why someone else might dig it though.

There's stuff that I haven't watched that is most likely, probably good.

But if I knew it was good I would have already watched it.

Pretty much the same here, but there's possibly more good anime that I may not be aware of.

In manga I will say all Urasawa works other than Monster (already finish The PEAK Anime).
In anime I will say Ranma 1/2.
I want to watch it like 3y,but never take the courage.
And now it will have his remake.

Just to say a few umm.. with anime I'd say a few classics like:
- Akira
- A few Ghibli movies
- Haibane Renmei

Then a few more recent ones like:
- Vinland Saga
- Girl's Last Tour

Things are always being added though, I won't be running out of that 'must watch sometime' feeling anytime soon which is nice :)

From experience, I realized it's better not to hype up an anime to the point where I'm 100% confident I will enjoy it.

Because if the anime turns out mid, or even above average, my viewing experience might just be ruined from expectations being too high. So now, I only hype myself for sequels, especially when I've read ahead in the source material.

To give an example, I heard a lot of praise for Mushoku Tensei for good writing and worldbuilding, so I was honestly expecting to enjoy it even knowing that the mc is not the most likeable. But season 1 part 1 was quite dry, and sometimes the most lacking aspect seemed like the writing which further detracted from my enjoyment because I was expecting that to be the good part. If I had come into it the anime blind, I would have thought it was a slightly above average isekai by the end of the season, but this wasn't the case. Instead, I was left feeling nothing at all.

Probably Gurren Lagann. I've wanted to watch it for years but it's only in 480p on most sites, which seems strange considering Netflix used to have it in full HD.

I have anime I have high expectations for, and based on the synopsis, themes, genres, and what I heard about, it looks like something I will love. But I can't know for sure it would be good, there were many cases where an anime failed to meet my expectations.

You can't know for sure if an anime is good or bad until you watch it.

Most recently I had Girls Last Tour on my radar and had a feeling it was going to be good based off of the description and unique animation style. I just started watching it and so far it's pretty good. As far as shows I have not yet seen...Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl...still hoping for an English Dub but am loosing hope and might give in to watching the sub. I have a strong feeling I will like that one.
