| Unpopular opinions always seem like they have to be negative and people are always talking about shows they hate that everyone likes. So I thought I'd filp that topic on its head for a different change of pass. So as the title says what are some anime that you like that are hated by everyone else or at least has a large hatedom. My answer to the question is Fairy Tail. Is Fairy Tail perfect? No, it has a lot of flaws it's powerscaling is bad and the friendship asspulls are ridiculous. However I can't hate the show why because I love the characters. They are so easy to get attached to and they really carry the show for me despite it's flaws I still like it for what I feel does well. |

| Mine are Demon Slayer, Yosuga no Sora, and Seven Deadly Sins 3. 1. Demon Slayer: This show is actually interesting. I'm not a fan of the demon, historical, and shounen genre but I loved it. I didn't find the characters as annoying as other people but they were very likable in my opinion. 2. Yosuga no Sora: Call this nasty because it has incest but this anime was actually good. I can't explain why but it was a good watch 3. Seven Deadly Sins 3: It had horrible animation and they used more CGI on the background but I honestly didn't even care for that. The story was still interesting and the OP slapped. I can't wait for the next season |

| Digimon Adventure Tri had some issues but overall I thought the films were good. Same with Appmon, I would say it's probably my third favorite after Tamers and Adventure. |

| Black Clover: I thought this show was phenomenal but the rating on this website speaks for itself. Akame ga Kill: Many don't like the writing of this show. If you've seen it you'll understand what I'm getting at. Future Diary: Hahahaha. OPM Season 2: I haven't read the source material but I thought it was pretty good. |

| I would probably say Chaos;Head. I don’t know why I liked this show as much as I did. I like anime with the psychological tag and I felt this show gave me what I wanted. I didn’t play the visual novel so I wouldn’t know exactly how bad of an adaptation it ended up being, but I enjoyed it from an anime only’s perspective at least. |

| I've mentioned this show in other threads, so forgive me if I sound like I'm repeating myself. But the only show that comes to mind is Black Clover. A lot of people hate it because of the fact that it borrows a lot of shonen elements from a lot of other popular shonen anime. Another issue has been with the character Asta's voice. Even though I'll admit that Asta's voice took some time to get used to in the beginning, I eventually grew to tolerate it. A lot of people say that Black Clover is generic because Asta has similar ambitions just like many other shonen protagonists. But when it comes down to it, most of the popular shonen anime that people love borrow some elements from each other. A prime example is shows like My Hero Academia. The character Midoriya strives to be strong just like other popular shonen characters in anime. It also borrows similar shonen traits just like Black Clover (tournaments, evil organization, etc.). But it's still popular. I'm of course not trying to disrespect people who like My Hero Academia. If they love it, I have no problem with it. But at the same time, I just don't see how shows like Black Clover gets a massive amount of hate for the shonen traits and personalities it borrows from when My Hero Academia is inspired by them to. Shoto Todoroki be considered the equivalent to Sasuke in personality just like Yuno. Midoriya could also be considered similar to Luffy, Naruto, and Goku in their ambitions just like Asta. |

| I don't if the shows were hated or not but have really low mean scores 1.Pet - Many people had problem with the artstyle and it's confusing story.I also agree the directing was sub-par.The story os easy to follow if you clearly understood the mechanics of their power.People also had problem with the gay vibes but I consider it to be bromance. 2.Dagashi Kashi-Unlike Pet it's a fairly popular show which has a rating of 6.6.People find the show boring and didn't enjoy the tidbits about Japanese confectionery or dagashi.I found the show to be enjoyable because of those tidbits.Also Hotaru's quirky personality is something you can't get enough of. |

| Of course to answer this question in an honest manner I have to go about assuming the title is purposeful hyperbole and be willing to interpret it a bit liberally, but I would say the following: Elfen Lied Beatless Aku no Hana Kodomo no Jikan Chika Gentou Gekiga: Shoujo Tsubaki Subete ga F ni Naru I say liberal interpretation of the stated question in the OP, because naturally not literally everyone else hates them (or probably any anime ever in existence), but these would be some of the prominent ones in my mind which are at the minimum extremely divisive and receive widespread flak I completely disagree with on all points. |

| Pokémon for me. I realize that Ash isn’t the best trainer in the world and that his actions/choices annoy people, but I honestly like that he’s a flawed character that doesn’t win all the time. For me, that’s more enjoyable to watch than someone that wins all the time. |

Maybe I'm looking this the wrong way, but you just seem to really miffed that Mha is much more well-regarded and loved while Black Clover isn't. Okay.. Firstly, I agree with you. Black Clover does get unnecessary hate just because it's generic. I have to agree BC is just a typical shounen. It's generic as hell. Everything from characters to plot is reminiscent of previous shounen. I don't like it because it doesn't match my taste, but I think it does being genetic alright ig. Secondly, buddy.. If you want to get your point across abt why u think an anime is good. Don't be a indifferent and compare it to other works. Support your fav anime with valid points and try to make people understand. Saying stuff like "X is just like Y, but Y is popular and X is not" is pretty kiddish imo Thirdly, How tf is Shoto like Sasuke. Even Yuno isnt like Sasuke. They have very, very different characterizations. You might wanna think, before you write stuff buddy. Also, Midoriya is pretty different from other MCs personality-wise, though he is kinda inspired from them @olajuwon20 Ayee man!! No hard feelings buddy. Even though I'm not a huge fan of BC, I agree with what you say. It is pretty good in what it does. It may be generic and simple, bu5 it's executes that pretty well imo. Also, it's very rare to have a decent discussion with peeps these days and I really appreciate your opinion and thoughts man. |

naruto/shippuden : idk why all the hate to this anime but this was my childhood and the reason why i love anime now. i know some of the characters and plot holes sucks but that doesnt bug me that much. its my favorite anime of all time. black clover: the same goes for this. they say its just A COPYCAT of every shounen ever made. i think that it is true however i just find it still interesting, the show also has its own merits and difference from other shows.. and also they keep ranting about asta's voice beiing so loud and annoying,for me i just find it funny... i laugh most of the time when he talks or butt in a conversation. neon genesis evangelion: most people say its a waste of time watching the series because of the ending. idk why people dont appreciate the show just bec of the ending. that ending changed me and how i see anime, its an art, it proposes that anime can go beyond understanding. |

Also, Midoriya is pretty different from other MCs personality-wise, though he is kinda inspired from them I wasn't trying to come off as miffed by My Hero Academia's popularity in relation to Black Clover. At the end of the day, if people like it over Black Clover I don't have a problem with it. I don't mean to come off as pretentious or anything, it's just that I feel like some people don't really make a fair comparison when it comes to animes within the same genre. It's a lot easier for some people to label a show as generic and unwatchable if they feel like they have some relation to other shows. Sometimes they fail to look at them for their own intrinsic value. I'm not trying to say that I think Black Clover should be more popular than My Hero Academia. What I mean to say is that both shows should be evaluated each for what makes both of the show unique rather than writing one off in comparison to the other. As far as my argument about Shoto and Sasuke, I don't mean to see that their very similar in their circumstances or anything like that. What I mean to say is that their very similar in the fact that they both descend from highly respected people and that they are both considered talent individuals among their peers. I'm sorry if you were offended by remarks. I guess I didn't deliver my argument in the best way. |

| I love Air by kyoani, it's one of their lower-rated anime because the supernatural aspects of it are harder to grasp than for example Clannad. I agree they could've been explained better and some characters were unnecessary but the depth that goes into creating the supernatural dimensions that Air delves into is really impressive. It takes a lot of thinking to understand it but if you're into that I can definately recommend it. |

| Quite a few people have already said SAO, but screw it I'm gonna say SAO as well. SAO first 13 episodes were really enjoyable plus easy to watch, and the show probably should have ended there in my opinion. The last 12 episodes of season weren't as good. Then it kinda nose dives in season 2 after Gun Gale. Charlotte, I know a quite a few people say its a train wreck. But personally, I kinda enjoyed most of it. Amnesia, haven't looked up why people dislike it. But after starting off on a confusing note, it got better through the episodes. But I've only watched it once and its been quite a few years since then. So I might go back and see if it still holds up to what I remember. |

| Black Clover - Most people (from what I've seen anyway) seem to not like because of the main guy's voice or his constant screaming, I don't think I was ever annoyed or particularly bothered by it though One Punch Man season 2 - when I initially watched it I liked it and don't really get why people seem to dislike it so much Sao - it seems kind of over hated in my opinion, I think it's an alright show |

However I can't hate the show why because I love the characters. They are so easy to get attached to and they really carry the show for me despite it's flaws I still like it for what I feel does well. Same, Fairy Tail is a good anime. I still don't understand why everyone else hates it. Apart from the power of friendship trope it pulls every arc, Fairy Tail has a lot more redeeming quality. It's hard to find another shounen women as well developed as Erza or another redemption arc that was as good as Laxus. The Grand Magic Games arc is still the 2nd best tournament arc (the dark tournament arc being 1st) in all of battle shounen anime. If Hiro Mashima removed the asspulls in the arc, then Fairy Tail would have been one of the greatest shounen anime. I turn my brain off and enjoy watching the battles, but I'd never call Fairy Tail a good anime. It's not just because of the friendship asspulls, although those are terrible. For me, Fairy Tails' biggest problem is that there are no real weight to any of the events or characters. For example: Makarov suffers a heart attack (or whatever) in the Battle of Fairy Tail arc and we're told that he's about to die. Then Makarov gets shot through the heart against Hades in the Tenrou Island arc (cue "someone will inherit my will" comment) and somehow survives. Then a couple episodes again, he miraculously survives and then this time deliberately chooses to sacrifice himself during the against Acnologia with flashbacks, sad music, etc. and somehow survives. Then he chooses to (potentially) sacrifice his life again by traveling to Alvarez Empire tries to buy time against Ajeel to cover for his "kids" and still survives to try and sacrifice his life AGAIN during the final battle by casting Fairy Law. And...still somehow survives. It doesn't always involve death, but very little of what happens in Fairy Tail actually lead to significant consequences in the story. Off the top of my head - Gajeel somehow "dies" to protect Levi (which was great development) only for him to conveniently be saved by an asspull in the Alvarez Empire arc. - Lisanna was dead and is somehow alive in a different world, which essentially negated much of the depth that Natsu's character had at the time. - Laxus swallows anti-magic particles and is limited/crippled (which, once again, shows character development), but he conveniently recovers in the next arc, making that sacrifice and development lack any sort of weight. This is terrible writing in general. When actions that the story CLAIMS has weight and significant consequences end up getting reversed repetitively, easily, and quickly, those actions become meaningless. Like seriously, what's the point if any character can walk up to any sort of danger, scream "nakama power," go through a flashback, do a deadly life-sacrificing attack, and be completely fine the next scene? OVER AND OVER AGAIN. |

| Mirai Nikki is like what people says. It's stupid, it has trashy characters and overall poorly written but for me it's was very enjoyable despite that and I really liked the concepts of the survival game. It also had many good plot twists and did pretty well for what it had. Though the main focus were the MC leaving other characters that actually made the later episodes more enjoyable. For a thriller it was did pretty well. The main reason why people shit on Mirai Nikki is the MC yukiteru is very badly written character more than any average shounen character making the show very annoying because of his incapability to even understand the situation. |

To the me this is a true "So bad, it's good" series. Also, Dragonball GT. Ironically, never was much of a DBZ fan myself. But when I was watching this while it was airing on Nicktoons (Yes, I'm one the few people that didn't watch on Cartoon Network sue me). I was kinda psyched for it every week. |

| 1)Black Clover: I love it because of the plot, the characters and the different themes portrayed in the story and it does borrow different elements from other shounen but makes those even better for eg: the edgy rival troupe, Yuno is an edgy rival but he also respects Asta and they both have a great friendly rivalry unlike other shounen where the rival turns to the dark side and has to be saved by the protagonist. 2)Future diary: Idk I just love it |

| Guilty Crown - I don't see anything wrong with either Shuu or Inori. I found Shuu's actions and emotions to to perfectly inline for someone who lived a normal life and suddenly finds himself involved in a big mess. Inori is supposed to be a clone, I don't find it strange that she has a had time understanding emotions and barely shows any herself. I also like a lot of horror anime that most anime fans label as "edgy". What were you guys expecting when you saw that horror tag? A happy-go-lucky SoL anime with normal sane characters and nothing going wrong!? |

In general I don't care about the score here on MAL that much. If it was good for me, it served a 10 even if the average is 5-6 only. |
