Best, if you have finished the anime but you can't get the hype around it.
If you dropped a popular anime, at what episode and why?

I go first:

I can't understand JJK
I dropped SAO at episode 3 because of the OP MC

My Hero Academia & Black Clover
Also, Kakegurui gets hyped a lot on tiktok.
Don't understand why tbh

I never have liked My Hero Academia a lot, the characters are interesting, and the story had a lot of potential, but there are lots of "kids with superpowers go to superpower training school." anime that I personally feel kept me attentive to it longer.

VIVY. I haven't finished it since it's currently airing but I was caught up for a while (waiting for the dub now though, ever since it was announced) and couldn't understand why everyone was so hyped right from episode 2. It seems pretty average to me. Nothing special

Pop Team Epic. Literally the most unfunny "comedy" I've ever watched. I've seen tragedies that are funnier than PTE. It's not "the new Nichijou". It's a joke. A painfully unfunny joke

The End of Evangelion. In my opinion the ending is even worse than regular Neon Genesis Evangelion's (I also thought the original series was just slightly above-average)

Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I don't get the hype. "It's got dark themes." So? "It's a deconstruction." And? Those things don't automatically make a series good. Same applies to Evangelion, but at least I actually kinda liked Eva, lol

Beyond the Boundary. Outstanding animation doesn't make up for horrible characters and a story that's basically a worse version of Madoka Magica (which I already didn't like as mentioned above)

As for popular anime I dropped... https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Kii_Ibarra?status=4 IDK, are any of these shows popular? I dropped all of them because they bored me, I guess

All of these are just my opinions. You're allowed to disagree, I don't mind. You probably hate/don't like some of my favorite anime, and that's ok. Everyone's taste is different.

I mean, if Kim Kardashian was an anime then I’d understand. But for now, idk any.

SAO and Angel Beats are the ones whose high rating I don't understand, even though the concepts were actually good I found them to be poorly executed and that they could have done better. Finished them both anyway, just don't understand why there is so much hype around them.

Sorry but it's true. At first I thought I had accidentally clicked an AD topic. This is just another "overrated anime" thread.

FLCL. I can definitely see why some people enjoy it, but the music while good, drowned out a lot of the dialogue which got to be obnoxious and most of the comedy did not land for me at all. I can respect it for what it is, but it just wasn't for me.

I can see where you are coming from, it would have been better to just give constructive criticisim from the start, don't you agree?

This thread should not go into detail, hence, why it is not a discussion. What you and me are doing now is a discussion, which will end by your answer

All Shounens are popular because its target audience are children lmao. Completely understandable. Probably watch more sienen, mystery, psychological, slice of life shows if you have grown out of shounens and let the kids enjoy their shounens.

i really dont get Hunter x Hunter, watched 39 episodes a few years ago and it felt like another shounen battle manga and kinda just moved on to something else.

Feels like people are hyping it up as if it was something transcending in the genre or something... its just aight from what ive seen
