Before all else, allow me to beg for people to stay on topic.



Okay then.
-

You all have animes you think are overrated- but what makes them overrated? What is the most annoying thing about overrated animes? Cliche scenes? Predictable characters? Uninteresting plot? Horrible art? Crappy animation?
How would YOU make it better?

Personally, I'll have to say Rozen Maiden was just awful. The sound effects don't match what's being shown, and the art is just. . . bleh. The characters are also cheesy. Dem swiss cheesy. I think Rozen Maiden would've been better if they worked harder on the art, although it's undeniably their style is unique and i would recognize it anywhere. They should've made the art slightly more realistic and maybe more like something from Gosick. Well, Gosick >>IS<< newer then Rozen Maiden by several years but. . .

There is art from animes in the 1980's that looked better.

What makes them overrated? Artfags obviously. Also romancefags at times too.
I tried watching Junjou Romantica but I got distracted too easily and couldn't last half of the episode. Maybe I'll watch it later, but still don't see why it's such a popular Shonen Ai. I can list better... if you give enough time... maybe...


And usually when it's aired in mainstream channels especially for kids, making Naruto "overrated", but I can see why. I enjoy Naruto myself too. One Piece... eh, I can't care for it much.

Maybe if anime such as Sword Art Online stayed with the plot and the characters took the game more seriously it would've been better. If it wasn't filled with so much drama and girls chasing Kirito around, it would've been a little better. There was so much the creators could've put in the game than putting up one boss in each level and just clearing the game straight off to make it look like a challenge.

Vampire Knight is even lower than cliche, to be honest. It's a new Twilight. If you want something to do with vampires, watch Shiki or Hellsing.

haha, I get it, problem is that I can't think of any specifics right at the moment because unfortunately when I enter this club it seems to go into pervert mode for some reason???

Wait, I've got it, I believe when anime get an English dub it becomes overrated due to the fact when people that only watch dubs see it they thinks its amazing because they haven't had the experience of watching non-dubbed anime, for example Naruto, everyone westerner likes it because it has really good dub....

Hopefully that was a bit more specific :)

Wat? Take the game more seriously? How can you not take a game that can cost your life seriously? ...>_>
Meh whatever. I loved SAO and for me it's quite a good anime even with it's flaws. (Well, I still prefer the novel.) Don't know why can't people just leave it alone and enjoy it as it is >_>.

Err...Umm...Well...Zero no Tsukaima. I can understand why people love it so much (for some the tsundere heroine, for others the brainless boob characters and the fan service, is it?)

But...I just don't get it. To begin with, I disliked the theme of the anime. Fuck wizards, give me something new come on.

Same with the plot, it's just too predictable and boring.

Louise is lke the most annoying loli I've ever seen. Seriously, what the hell? Personally I liked the maid and the queen the most...Until they turned into airhead oppai characters, probably to make the anime more "enjoyable" with all the fanservice and ecchi.

The art was quite decent, but the preferances differ for everyone so you'll either like it or not. Same for the sound. More or less the only thing I liked about the anime, mainly because of Kugumiya Rie.

I find that animes I can predict either dialogue or plot points very just meh. I don't want to be able to figure out something before it happens. This is especially true to romance animes. I find them so predictable its almost sad. Yes there are some that are really good. But from what I have seen they are few and far between.

If the music doesn't fit or is out of place I find it very annoying. I am a big music fan so if music is weird or untimed then I find the whole mood is put off. I also hate annoying character voices. That is no fault of the anime but it's just me being picky. But I can't sit through an anime if I find the voices annoying lol.

When there are endless pointless battles. Which I can only say for new animes. Cuz I am in love with Dragon Ball Z. And that is pretty much an endless battle. But when new animes do it. I feel that they had nothing better to put in, and are just copying what the older popular animes did that worked. And huzzah new popular anime is born.

Also in a anime that isn't mainly ecchi then it turns into that. Like I get having some in particular animes. But is it really that necessary in an anime about zombies? I love HSotD but the fan service kinda made it less cool. I mean it's a zombie apocalypse not a love fest lol.

Yea I kinda went off there. Sorry but I have a lot of ideas lol

Harry Potter = One of the best selling books ever, Zero No Tsukaima = A really popular anime..
Both are about a black haired guy coming from the normal world into a "wizard world"... I think you get the winning formula here eh? *cough*

But I have to agree Louise is a annoying loli, and yes have you always noticed the tsundere is always flat-chested, must be another winning forumula *cough*

That's it exactly. There really is no "overrated" anime per se, it depends on the person's likes and dislikes. People say SAO is overrated while you still like it. You say Zero no Tsukaima is overrated and I still like it. It's just a matter of preference.

You pretty much destroyed this whole club in that post... But your right, people say certain anime are overated because the majority like it and you don't, but thats your opinion and it doesn't mean its overrated, but maybe instead your underrating it... If you get what I mean...

I get what you mean though. I suppose it makes sense, but eh. Like I said before, it's really just a matter of preference.

For most shounen type anime, it is the structure. There's the episodic and tournament style. I prefer the episodic, but Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite shounen. What gets me about most shounen is the fan base overhyping it like it is the best thing ever made or the typical plot and characterization. Only a handful I feel are truly all the hype they generate.

One Piece isn't bad, though. It isn't amazing, but it most certainly isn't outright bad.
