I gave Re:Zero a 3 because all the characters are mentally handicapped (especially Subaru), the time resets kill all the tension, all the powerful characters conveniently disappear whenever there is a conflict, and Subaru's character development gets reset whenever he lays in a girl's lap (I guess the audience can't self-insert into a well written character). I will give some specific examples below.


subaru mentally handicapped?
what could give you such a wrong impression?the fact he had to die three times before finding out that the obviously real events were actually happening and repeatin itself every time he died?
or his amazing ability of making the dumbest decision at every possible situation(until episode 18 at least the guy becomes a genius after that for some reason)

Wait... the concept can't be more generic, it's MC-kun saving girls to create his harem... The dialogues are the only thing holding the show, and without them I'd sigh a lot more at the sight of a loli bathing with our protagonist...

well at least bakemonogatari uses the concept of these supernatural events to explore the characters mentality in some interesting ways

I had no problem with the concept, the MC saving the girls by releasing them of their demons, it sounded interesting at first, but seriously, I couldn't stand the dialogs at all to the point of really considering dropping the anime everytime the characters started talking. I have no problem with anime or movies with long dialogs unless I have 0 interest in what the characters are talking about. I think this was the first and only time I found an anime boring because of the dialog itself. Not finding any of the characters likable also contributed a bit, but didn't really hated any of them.
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake

There's an intentional reason why it's listed last in my favorites lmao. I was honestly on the Monogatari train for Araragi x Senjougahara (wow what a shock!), or really, just Senjougahara. Everything else beyond the animation and character interactions, it's iffy to me.

Hm, I rated Fate/Zero, both seasons pretty low... characters were so bleak.. bland... the whole war game felt boring as I never truly felt what was at stake. Everyone's pretty much a dick, except Rider, he was the cool cat, I'll give him that. Honestly though, little felt redeeming coming out of this series for me.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

Black Lagoon because it can't get a proper setup and tries to be so cool and badass but the action sucks and Revi swears like she's been written by two Quentin Tarantino. It tries to be deep and philosophical but end up "meh". It's not completely awful and the second season is decent but it doesn't deserve its current rating.

Attack on Titan is an anime with good stuff and good potential but simply falls short to be anything.

I rated the Steins;Gate movie 5 because it feels like it took a great sci-fi/thriller series and turned it into a light romance movie with some sci-fi in it and it also included a pedophile kiss, which just doesn't do justice to the series. However, I didn't rate it below 5 because it was at least decent as a stand-alone film.

I have a few but I really want to point out both seasons of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (When They Cry). I gave 3 and 4 respectively.

It is precisely because of a combination of its MAL rating, reviews, many other recommendations and praises about it, that I decided to start this and forced myself to sit through until the end of Kai.

I've personally heard nothing but praises about its plot blah blah the only thing bad I've heard about it was its animation but I honestly felt so cheated after everything. I don't even hate or dislike this show just very annoyed by the fact that I took such effort to finish it ugh.

If anyone who's a great fan of the franchise would bother explaining Higurashi to me that'll greatly be appreciated!
I said with a posed look.

Character Deconstruction means how you explore a character trope by playing it on how a person like that will look in a realistic condition. If Shirou, backed up with a powerful backstory and the worst consequences of being a hero still isn't a deconstruction, then I don't believe that deconstruction existed at all.
Shirou's condition realistic? Really?

The thing is I haven't seen those consequences you are talking about and more important not how he arrived there, it was just told which whitout showing holds little to no weight.

Backstory doesn't matter much to me, they can tell anything and mean nothing. They are effective if you self-insert yourself into the character but I don't do it. I appreciate them for offering context.



Consider you in Shirou position, will you do the exact same as him? And that's how I judge male characters in general tbh, so seems we have different opinions here since you don't self insert.

Grave of the Fireflies - 2/10.

I feel like the movie fails pretty badly in multiple ways, but mainly with its characters. I'm not going to sit there and bawl my eyes for a character who seals his own fate (Seita) by being a cocky little shit. He got what he had coming for him, and it ended up killing both him and his sister. When you consider that the situation of both him and his sister starving to death could have been avoided if he had just been somewhat amicable to deal with, it makes the movie fail pretty badly in my eyes.

I tend to only find something sad/lamentable when there is a series of uncontrollable events that affect a character in a negative/morose way, hence my disdain for Grave of the Fireflies.

Azumanga Daioh: Dropped after 1 episode and scored 2/10.
I watched Lucky Star before trying Azumanga Daioh and already noticed that those "cute girls doing nothing" shows are pretty pretty boring - and a real pain if you try to completely watch all the episodes. No plot. No interesting chars. The looks/art of the chars isn't even good. And not funny at all. Still I liked it visually a bit better than Lucky Star that is why I gave 2/10 instead of 1/10.

Katanagatari: Dropped after episode 1 and scored 1/10.
This one was extremely horrible. Super annoying chars. Lots of boring talking. Some action. Nothing interesting happening. And episodes were too long. The 1st episode was very painful to watch and endure. (25 minutes and faster pacing might have helped a bit.)

Then you have pretty much no right to complain about any character ever, once you self-insert almost every character becomes a good character. It's a matter of perspective and once you assume the character's perspective I don't see why you would disagree with him or consider him bad.
Moreover those discussion of what the viewer would have done in a character's position are meaningless to me. Those are ifs without answer because in most cases it's not possible to know.

Also, you consider a male character good because he behaves like you think you would?

No, in fact, I found that most male characters not behaving the same as if I would given the same condition. Take an extreme example of Tatsumi from Akame ga Kill. If I'm him then I'll use Esdeath's head over heels to me to abdicate the former ruler and become king and queen with her rather than sticking to Night Raid. That's also given that Tatsumi have been around with Night Raid for a really short time. And yeah I put myself in his position with also took their history as a considerations.

Hunter x Hunter - Chimera Ant is by far the worst arc I have ever seen. It felt like they needed to hit 148 episodes so they just fucked around and stretched staircase scenes so much.

Kill la Kill. Didn't grab me at all. Considering how much I like TTGL as far as I'm concerned this is a failure of the show.

Gintama - Didn't find it funny at all. Can't be bothered to watch 50 episodes to wait for a show to get good. Maybe it's just bad.

Clannad - The epitome of every bad anime drama I have ever seen, chocked full of unrealistic characters and melodrama.

Angel Beats - The epitome of every bad anime drama I have ever seen, chocked full of unrealistic characters and melodrama. Except in a smaller package, making it slightly better than Clannad.

K-On!! - I though the first season was surprisingly okay but this turned into too much of a CGDCT for me and lost the sense of humor.

Re:Zero - Had some potential but they fucked it up every time, making it a generic waifu show.

No Game No Life - May have been fun if they played real games and not bullshit versions of chess where you can inspire your pieces and cheat to victory. The best thing I can say about it is it referenced Jojo a few times and that's a very low bar.



Finally someone agrees that Clannad was shit (;-; thank you random internet citizen


I agree about Clannad too. When I watched it, it had to be one of the most boring anime I have ever seen. I tried giving AS a try and it was just as shitty. I haven't watched it in forever, but if I had to rate it (watched it way before I joined MAL), I would probably give it a 1, since I didn't like anything from it. That rarely happens with me too, since I usually find at least 1 thing I like in an anime even if I don't like the anime itself.

Nekomonogatari I rated a 3 because everything that bake and nise do wrong (which is a lot), neko one ups them in that category. Plus Hanekawa was the most annoying peace of crap ever who can never do anything herself, but she did kind of redeem herself in Tsubasa Tiger. Nise and Bake I rated a 5 because they had their good points but the endless, usless banter dragged it down to the point that I stopped caring.

Well when I was watching it, free used to have an 8. I gave it a 6... I don't really know why but I can't deliberately give anything a 4 or 5 because most of the time nothing is that bad of what I watch. I'm no seasonal watcher (I occasionally check something out).
Oh here's some:
Uchouten Kazoku- I gave a 4 and dropped it. It was hideously boring in the first and second episode so I dropped it because I didn't see anything happening.
Sword Art Online- Plot was sht, didn't keep up with its looming 'thriller feel' you get in the first episode, the marriage and love between the main characters didn't actually seem like anything special (there wasn't any real spark that I saw or sensed between the mains and they randomly get together just because they're both powerful and beautiful, whereas they both have the personalities of doorknobs.) If SAO had kind characters like it's sister anime Accel World or it's rival Log Horizon where the characters were confident, but smart and seemingly felt like they were relatable. Maybe SAO is for teenagers 13- 17 or something and that's why it fell off on me as being lame.

Black Lagoon for me. Imo the only reason it is regarded as any good is because it is a bit old, and also maybe because its a theme non Japanese viewers are familiar with.

It started with a great potential for character development, but their character only degenerate throughout the series. Revy could have been a great female lead, but we only see her turn into a narrow minded, selfish, illogical b**** who want everything done her way. (Sorry I dont like to swear, but there was no other way to discribe her)

Only redeeming factor people name is her being badass but that would only matter if the action in the anime was any good. Fights in the anime are unrealistic and quite awful.

Story isnt any good either. Simple and nothing impressive. I dropped it in the second season


Well revy was supposed to be a bitch, she's a chinese gangster woman with a horrible past. I watched Black Lagoon and felt the same way though, put aside my love for the useless main character that actually started to show some balls at some point.

Compared to Mirrai Nikki's craziness nothing will be better. I can't defend Madoka Magica though, I didn't feel like it was something that was deserving of it's praise. I can get it if you're new to anime, LOOK how gorgeous it is, it's interesting, the characters are kawaii and there are no guys. It's very focused on the witches, and fantasy. The story is decent..

Emm it's more on how they think about stuffs. As for Tatsumi, he think that everything belongs to the Capital are inherently evil and he mustn't side with them and must against them at all costs, which is a dumb way of thinking. I'd be more cunning if I were him.

As for the deconstruction, I think I have said it that the show told how Archer suffers, which is the consequences of being a pure lawful good hero.

I gave Higurashi a 3. It's supposed to be a psychological horror/mystery/thriller. However, I wasn't scared, I wasn't thrilled, nor was I intrigued; it didn't make me feel anything. Instead, I found myself falling asleep and looking at the time -- at increasing intervals as I watched further. To make things worse, the animation was quite poor, with characters warping out of shape when turning or moving in general and I wasn't too impressed with the sound design, either.

However, while it was boring to the point of being sleep-inducing with very few redeeming qualities, it wasn't particularly unpleasant to watch either, so I think it doesn't deserve a "really low" score, but 3 is the highest I think it deserves. A shame, really; I was really looking forward to finally seeing a good and honestly scary horror anime.

Kiseiju (5):
Lot's of plotholes, rushed ending, the anime doesn't bother explaining us important stuff, the charachter development is presented in an odd way, Shinichi isn't the best protagonist i've seen, etc

Shingeki no Kyojin (4):
When it launched i actually went and read the manga because the anime pacing was awful, and after all the manga at the time, i realized the "story" didn't even begin at that point, so basically the entire anime would be just pointless and not convey any message, just be a gorefiesta with edgy characters without ever developing some plot and most of the charachters were not even interesting BTW.
Not to mention, the first episode was overhyped AF, also, i'm mad because this doesn't get half the hate SAO gets.

Akira (3):
Read "xm0123" review on it.
Also, most of the people i see who like this are pseudointellectual and complain about "Moe and Ecchi ending with the industry"

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (4):
Awful pacing, plotholes, uninsteresting villain, secondary charachters poorly explored, weak plot and poor exploration of the anime's universe. They should have made the "pre-village" part faster, not to mention that the village episode is when i should have become good, but then we had Biba...

Keijo(3):
An offense to the manga.
The manga is pretty good (Though i've just read until chapter 37 to prevent spoilers) and can be taken seriously as any sports/battle shounen manga (I may even say: As serously as JoJo).
The anime, though, just butchers charachter development and rushes it A LOT, screwing with the experience the manga tries to bring.

I've found that I generally disagree with MAL's scores on almost every show, often to a great degree.

I don't think a 5 or 6 count as a low score, that would be average. So I'm only listing shows I gave a 4 or lower.

Overlord - 2/10 This could of been decent but nothing happens most of the time. Very boring.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya - 2/10 I should have known this would be horrible from the title. Haruhi is by far the best character and the reason the show is interesting in the first place, but they make a more than 2 hour movie where she's in maybe ten minutes and does nothing noteworthy. Even worse we get 2 hours of the incredibly annoying Kyon. How this has a much better score than the two seasons of Haruhi is beyond me.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 3/10 - Scar was the only good character, I couldn't sympathize with the Elric brothers, fights were boring, the homunculi are the most boring generic villains ever and the story was pretty terrible. People crucified SAO for Kirito entering another MMO after surviving the first one, but he did it for a logical reason, to rescue Asuna (not to mention this one had no death penalty). Edward Elric continues to open portals even after what happened to Al, with much more risk for much less reward and I never see this criticized. I thought Ed telling God the meaning of life was cringe worthy, and I couldn't root for Roy & Riza after they blindly killed many Ishvalans in the war. If I don't like the characters I can't like the show, and they seemed to go out of their way to make me dislike most of the characters. I think I would have liked the 2003 version better, but since I didn't like Brotherhood I'm not gonna watch 50 more episodes.

Steins;Gate - 3/10 - Generic time travel story with the most forced and out of nowhere romance of all time. I would of dropped this by episode 3 if not for Cherami Leigh's excellent voice acting.

Gurren Lagann - 4/10 some decent action but I lost all interest after the spiral king arc.

Angel Beats! - 4/10 I thought it was average for the most part but I hated the ending so that brings the score down.

The discussion diverged from deconstruction to self-insertion but you still haven't really replied to me saying that Shirou deconstructing whatever archetype is not shown but only told.
As for the deconstruction, I think I have said it that the show told how Archer suffers, which is the consequences of being a pure lawful good hero.
Yeah but I don't see how that's a good aspect. Does it even matter it deconstructs its archetype if the execution sucks?

Oh, Asuka? Her troubled past, her insecurities, and her redemption in EoE sealed her a spot on my favs. Pretty much in Fate/Zero, most of the characters didn't seem that layered to begin with; hence they just seem like one-note personalities I never could get attached to.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

No Game No Life. 6/10. It was entertaining but like... the writing wasn't great and neither were the characters. All the entertainment came from the design and music.

Clannad After Story + Clannad 4/10, the characters eyes bugged me the entire time and it seemed more focused on making up sad shit instead of telling a story

Mushishi 3/10, i'm not really into episodic series and I fell asleep a few times watching this, a few episodes were good but overall wasn't to my liking

Mirai Nikki 4/10, I can't remember why but I must have given it a 4/10 for a reason

I was just gonna list off a few from the top of my head but I realised it wouldn't take too long to just go through them all. I'm gonna just go through everything 6 and below. Not because I think 6 is a low rating, I just feel like it. Also I haven't included a few OVAs.

Mirai Nikki - 1/10

Basically what happens when a perverted otaku manchild who hasn't seen Battle Royale tries to make Battle Royale.

Evangelion - 4/10

Haven't seen it in years so I dunno if my opinions would stand up on a re-watch, but I remember that while I definitely understood what the show was trying to do I just wasn't all that interested in the direction it took. I found Shinji to be particularly uninteresting.

Angel Beats - 5/10

I loved this show when I was new to anime, but I kinda realised later on that most of what it did well was done better in other Key works.

Baccano - 6/10

This isn't a hugely low rating but I still think my opinion is quite far removed from the majority. I don't mind western inspired anime, but the problem with Baccano is that it brings basically nothing new to the table. I felt like I was just watching a poor man's version of the movies it was inspired by.

Psycho Pass - 6/10

Once again, not huuuugely low but I felt like the themes were explored better elsewhere. Whether it be the cyberpunk stories it was inspired by or Urobuchi's other works.

One Punch Man - 5/10

A dull one trick pony of a comedy series. The action scenes are legitimately great and well deserving of praise but they serve no purpose and the end result is the same every single time so there's really no reason for me to care.

Evangelion 1.0 - 6/10

Just a flashy remake of the first 6 episodes. Not a whole lot else to say.

Man, this is a fantastic thread to get my elitist, analytical blood boiling... putting that nonsense aside, though, I believe the only shows rated 8 that I scored lower are Yuri on Ice (hard though I tried, I couldn't get past it being very, very average and obvious fujo material) and Haruhi Suzumiya (I ALMOST gave it an 8, but Endless Eight completely ruined it for me).

Hmm the 2nd season is kinda lackluster in describing it yeah, hence why I give it only 6/10. But still as a VN reader myself, I'll defend Shirou at all cost.

I see, well Fate/Zero isn't actually character driven story so yeah, it explained about the battle royale more. I still like the pragmatism and ideology of Kiritsugu though, since both of us are INTP.

Shin Sekai Yori, the most overrated series on this site imo :< I never understood its popularity and ratings. Poor, bland animation, annoying and unlikeable characters, and such a boooriiing story! That whole sudden homosexuality plotline was so forced I don't even know why they put it there.

The only actually decent thing was the ending song, Wareta Ringo, I listen to it from time to time.

I gave it 5/10 and that's not a rating I give out easily, especially to popular TV series.
