I can get behind most annoying things as long as the anime isn't boring
there are so many shows I enjoy but I wouldn't say they are good, but they keep my interest going so I watch them

I can sit through any bad animation, art, or even a bland plot, as long as the anime has good characters. On the other hand, no matter how good the premise of an anime is, if the characters are boring or annoying to watch it's rarely enjoyable at all. Too many anime have had good ideas only to be ruined by uninteresting or poorly developed characters

One of the reasons is the art style. I wouldnt want to watch an anime that has a fking terrible art style ever, i'd drop it immediately like the art style in this one:

The major thing that ruin an anime is its trash ending.Because the watcher has spend his time on anime and when it come to ending,his expectations become high and when he founds out that he wasted 8 or 9 hours just to get this garbage ending then the anime is ruin.Best example is Erased,future diary.If the anime is slow from start but the ending was worth of time then it helps to hide some flaws from the anime.

Ntr, too naive MC, too hard armor plot. When it comes to fanservice, I don't think it matters in anime. However, if the fanservice seems contrived or forced, I don't like it

Spoilers is a big factor to what ruins an anime for me since basically i know what the plot of the anime is and it really ruins it for me

Bad characters is a factor too i just really dislike it

And if the anime didn't adapt some of the chapters that are great, it ruins it overall even if it's just fillers

As long as the character's are good, it'll be fine. Character's are what we follow most of the time, ruining that just makes it infuriating to watch.

Plot can be bland too but if the char's are good then manageable. The plot has to be pretty great and solid otherwise even if the char's are meh(eg:AOT).

Animation and artstyle can be average/decent enough too.

Two dimensional characters. I could still stand and enjoy average stories as long as it has well-written characters but even if a show like AOT for example, has a good story but more than half of its main cast has no depth or personality at all, then it decreases my enjoyment and overall quality of said show for imo.

Also bad endings.

I don't get you people at all. A show's quality stays the same no matter the type of fandom it has. Like I know shows like FMAB or AOT has been known to have the most notorious of fandoms among others but I wouldn't say that the show itself is bad or "ruined" purely because of that. Would you have taken out an anime out of your favorites if its fandom is bad/toxic? Genuinely curious.

Nah mate. Both of the anime that you've mentioned are good. Those toxic stans are always pisses me off like for these examples:
For FMAB: "If you're not going to rate FMAB a 10, your taste is so trash."
For AOT: "Your favorite animes are overrated and FMAB is superior of them all."

I'm not talking about the anime, I'm talking to the fanbases itself. My biggest point is, if I mentioned some flaws that I didn't like, they will going to talk shit on me like WTF???

Comedy is a genre that I love and at the same time hate.

For me Japan is love with a type of childish comedy and that's the type I can't stand.
A good example would be Konosuba, Dr Gray and FMA serie both verison.

The comedy is so childish so for me the serie feels like it was created for kindergarten children.

And the second thing would be to slow pacing like Bleach Anime, Gundam Zeta and Gundam mobilsuits.
The pacing in this show is so slow it makes the Anime boring and I just lose all interested.

Unnecessary misunderstandings to draw out the plot.

It really just cheapens the experience imo; Kimi ni Todoke was pretty fun for the most part for me, but the long, drawn out mental gymnastics some characters went through to preserve the status quo really irked me.

Most of all, a show has to capture my interest in the beginning. I don't expect the show to do a full plot dump. But there has to be some nuggets of information for what I can expect from the series in the long run. The pacing is also another fact. I don't expect the story to be exciting or have plot-relevant episodes throughout. But I don't want to be bogged down in filler at the same time.

Bad written characters is the top 1. I can't stand excessive fanservice, or a scale of power that is ridiculous. I hate forced romance too.

Perverted fanservice, characters like Jiralya being presented as heroic (Mineta at least gets the hate that he deserves). I'll still finish Naruto, because it was my first anime, and has a great story, but anything perverted with no story is getting dropped.
Also the whole thing "the power of love and friendship can save anthing" thing is annoying, not enough to drop the anime, but it gets a lower rating (lower than 8).
