Ugh, thats a sensitive topic you just hit, there are many reason why you can't choose, one of the most important would be that, it depends on what kind of anime it is, come on we all have anime that we absolutely LOVE!!!! BUT!!! even these anime have mistakes (plot holes, character development, art etc.) you cant say for sure if hype is good or bad.
I liked SAO, but we all know parts of it s*ck, hype can kill enjoyment or make it more enjoyable, it always depends on the anime.

Too much hype often leads to disappointment. Too little hype means most people will overlook it. Anything in between there is good hype.

Sometimes it is. It let's people know what new anime is there.

Sometimes it isn't because hyped shows often disappoints us. Not because it is bad, though some may be the case, it's just that it may not meet the expectations set by people.

I'm guilty of source reader hype sometimes as I am part of those who tend to get excited over certain series getting an adaptation which creates hype and raises expectations for some.

It depends on the nature of the hype. Sometimes, we end up watching an anime just because of the hype surrounding it. We hear people say that an anime is very good and we want to watch it ourselves. If it weren't for hype, we would probably have missed a few good anime. Sometimes, though, some anime get overhyped. Expectations build up in our mind due to the hype surrounding a particular anime, and if the anime doesn't meet up to the expectations set by our own minds, we end up disliking it. Thus, hype isn't entirely a bad thing, but overhyping can kill an anime. The trick is to not set any expectations and watch anime with an open mind. We all know it can get weird at times.

If hype screws with your perception of a work (and for many people, it does), I'd say wait till the hype cools a bit before you watch. I didn't watch Attack on Titan untill last year.

Though too much hype can lead to disappointment, there's usually a reason for hype. If you hear everyone talking about a certain series, odds are that series is worth a look. I checked out AoT, One Punch Man and Steven Universe because I'd heard them praised by a lot of people, and I ended up glad to have watched all of them.

It depends on whether or not it turns out as a good show and all of that depends on the first episode and that is the deciding factor on whether it turms out as an excellent exciting show or a flop, so usually hype can lead to disappointment since fans would just see a clip or trailer of sorts and it may be awsome but it is that first episode and it all depends on whether the characters are likeable and have great developemt, on if the story and plot is engaging and anew, and if it is an anime that delivers something new that makes it original

It Depends, Cause Some shows may look interesting in the cover, but the preview itself looks very plain, It's quite a pointless crap to look forward with.

Believe I've told you before that it's not a nisekoi ripoff.... they only have 1 semi-similar plot point and it's handeled entirely differently.
But I mean nisekoi might not have been good but people who give an about average series a one are usually too biased to listen to reason anyways

Hype is good for a show because it gets more people watching it so more money, but it can ruin enjoyment for a lot of people if it doesn't live up to the hype for them

Hype usually never works. Well, unless you just wanted more people to watch it.

Shingeki was hyped to all hell before its first season, which led to it getting crapped on by a fair few who found that it didn't quite live up the hype of "being different from shit like Naruto". I mean, "people actually died in AoT".

Mahouka was hyped by this one dude who kept spamming the AD with threads or posts and quickly disappeared off the face of the Earth after it aired.

I actually can't think of a single situation where hype has worked. Usually, they just end up getting overhyped and replaying the same scenario over and over again, just on different scales.

Personal reactions aside, hype can be very toxic. I've seen many animes hyped by the first episodes suffer terrible cases of backlash by the time tle last chapters aired.

We can talk about two kinds of hype: the anticipated series, with an already established fanbase because is based on some manga, like AoT or One Punch Man, or it has some pedegree, like Zankyou no Terror, Aldnoah. Zero or Yuri Kuma Arashi. And the surprise hit, shows everybody thought it will made okay, and then turned into hits like Yuri on Ice, Re:Zero or Erased.

Hype is great for an anime. Word spreads, people watch, recognize merchandise. It's excellent for the creators since it gets them paid.

Hype is a double edged-sword. In one hand, it will make the series popular and will probably create a solid fanbase, and, in the best of cases, it can end making the anime memorable. On the other hand, hype often leads to disappointment and the creation of legion of haters who thinks the show didn't delivered what the fans promised, as well as making the anime "memorable" for all the wrong reasons.

I don't think hype is inherently bad, but is dangerous as well. That is the reason why I don't get hyped with a series unless it manages to hook me.

Yes and no.

Yes, because that tends to draw more interest for the show. Popularity/high ratings is what anime production committees are striving for.

No, because if the show doesn't live up to the hype, the haters & salty fans usually become very vocal about it.
When they do that, others that haven't watched it yet may be more inclined to avoid it because of the negative reactions.
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

Hype is good for good anime and absolutely terrible for all not so good anime...

Hyping stuff generally leads to higher expectations.. And you all know the class rule, expectation leads to disappointment.. So even if an anime was somewhat average-good, plenty of people is so going to be disappointed because of over expectations..

So yeah. Hype is good for a good anime's popularity.. While overhype is terrible for everything..

I wonder if mass downfalls in popularity like that of Lucky Star have to do with overhypes.

Really depends. On one hand, if something is hyped up to the peak of human existence then I find it very hard to enjoy it with the bar set so high.

On the other hand, if it's something I completely looked over and people are telling me it's actually good it might make me watch it.

On the other hand, it's tedious as hell. Anime like Erased and Re:Zero get hyped up to hell and are immediately forgotten about the second they end. When was the last time you thought of Erased, a show that people hyped up as the peak of the medium?

Yes. Hype is good for an anime because that gives it more attention, thus increasing its chances of getting more sales.

Otherwise, Hype is bad. It makes you set your expectations too high only for them to collapse. I gave some anime a try because of how much people were hyping them up. And when I finished them, I was looking like:

Hype usually creates two kind of watcher :
1. The one who will love it till the end
2. The one who will bash it till the end.
So I think it could be good yet bad for the watchers. Thou for the anime, it is a really good thing that their anime is famous and hyped.

Hype is good for most people since it gets them to watch a particular show. More people watching = more people to discuss, and also more income for studios to potentially make sequels or improvements on the series.

Though I try to keep myself insulated from any information before watching a series. Since my approach, for seasonals, is to watch everything and keep watching/drop depending on how I like it, hype hasn't impacted me recently.

Yeah, it makes me check the said anime.

If the anime is good then...good, I just found something enjoyable.

If the anime is bad then it would be my trashtalking material, since doing that do popular anime is more satisfying.

So it's always good.
