I haven't really seen any anime that matches the above description but I'm asking this so you can tell shows that match this description so I can fucking run 20 gazillion miles away from them and never look back.

I'm not entirely sure that list is accurate. I'm watching both School Days and Madoka Magica and then seem pretty good and not like that.

Plastic Memories. Nothing in it makes sense and the show does mood whiplash so much that it's impossible to take it seriously. The characters are archetypes and recieve zero development so when the "drama" happens, it's meaningless.

C'mon, it's not cheap, it's just le very mature grey morality at work.

OT: Toradora! here. Tho the whole romance aspect of Parasyte was absolutely over-dramatic and painful to watch.

I heard it had melodramatic chips munching at least. I must confess I stopped watching after 7-8 eps and never looked back at DN (yes, people here are going to stone me for this)

SNAFU and White Album 2 I guess
though SNAFU is probably the worst of the 2 since WA2 only felt like a drag because MC was bland in my eyes and the 2 girls weren't worth paying much attention to so its not at the same level of stupidity like SNAFU

Anohana is to me so far the most exemplary case. Its melodrama is just criminally cheap and embarrassing.

Clannad/AS, Plastic Memories, Shigatsu, Attack on Titan. And then there's Strawberry Panic. The melodrama was so over the top and soap opera-ish that it went from bad to unintentionally hilarious.

I didn't really feel that much melodrama from AnoHana or Clannad/Clannad: AS, especially the latter. I remembered AnoHana having a bit towards the end but it didn't affect me negatively. Same with Nagi no Asukara, didn't really find the drama there to be too over-the-top. Your Lie in April is probably the one that I find to be obnoxious with some of its melodrama. And Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta too, considering it's a short anime.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

Honestly I didn't appreciate its mix of drama and comedy at all.. Especially when that stupid kind of humour suddenly appears during every dramatic / serious scene. This is what makes me cringe when I think of that series. Though it has a lot of nice music, which is a good thing imo. What made Shigatsu popular is the ending. If it was less dramatic I bet no one would remember this series now.

Your Lie In April. It made me hate every single character. Even Saburu is a better main character than Kouske.
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.

Like said above me. Ano Hana. I hate this anime. Although I liked Your Lie in April and Clannad After Story (I can't deny they are over melodramatic).

Also, Kanon 2006. I hate this anime so much (my most hated anime). Characters are bad (aside from Yuuichi which is sarcastic most of the time). The drama is super forced. At least it got masterclass soundtrack.

anyone that thinks melodrama is autobad is a pleb. if you can't appreciate emotional bombast, you might take yourself too seriously. that being said clannad after story half-asses its melodrama and, instead of playing up the spectacle of emotion, plays it "mature" (read: sterile) and toned-down. this is the key difference between clannad after story and a show like shigatsu, which gets it right. shigatsu, inherently "loud" as musical expression was a heavy narrative element and robust visually with saturated bright spring colours in the first cour and less saturated moody colours in the second, practically declared its intent to appeal to the senses, which it did well

Well melodrama is about as subjective as overrated, so you won't really be doing yourself any good by choosing to avoid any shows that are mentioned here

Anywho, in my opinion, I didn't particularly enjoy the drama in Love Live, only cause of the consequences of said drama, and how ridiculous the actual dramatic event conspired

A bit of Violet Evergarden as well, especially in the beginning. Lately, I felt it hasn't been that bad, but some instances in the first few episodes felt melodramatic imo

Well, any *insert negative aspect of drama* thread can easily be re-written as Clannad/YLiA/AnH circlejerk hate thread

Anohana, Madoka, Your name, and half of "Kyoto Animation" from what I remember. (because not all of them are in the "Drama" genre)
but you may give them a chance tho, they're good for some laugh.

I didn't like Your Lie in April and I think Clannad is overrated, but I wouldn't really say they are "obnoxiously melodramatic." At least in both those shows the drama is somewhat organic and flows well with the story (most of the time). If you just don't like emotional shows then yeah obviously you won't like those two, but I wouldn't say they are exceptionally over-dramatic given the genre they are in.

The title of this thread actually made me think of School Days as the perfect example. The drama in that show is forced, over-the-top, and is basically just there for shock value.


What's the difference?

I don't know OP , many of my favs are "melodramatic" so it isn't something I hate but Ano Hana would probably be the one I couldn't stand at all especially because I couldn't have cared less about Menma .

The little experience I had with AnoHana fits the definition of melodrama like a glove. Such overblown emotions and monologues. The MC screaming was the icing on the cake.

Darling in the FranXXX deserves a mention as well. I know hardly anything about the characters and yet the show expects me to give in to how much it glorifies their problems.

Anohana, the melodramatic is made just to fix its previous boring episodes, but in the end, the melodramatic becomes awful.

Kiznaiver.

Mainly because if watching a bunch of stupid brats fretting over crushes isn't bad enough, then the fact that most of the characters only know each other for like a few months/weeks just makes it even worse.
