Whats the most boring anime that you've seen that had high production value.

For me it was either Hyouka or Mushishi. Both shows look visually great but also were very boring and each episode felt twice as long.

I agree with Hyouka it just bored me honestly but I loved Mushishi it's one of my favorite anime but I can definitely see why people would find it boring.

if we only mention relatively high rated series, for me it's Mahouka.. "twice as long" feels accurate for this as well

I agree with Mushishi, it started off interestingly until you see the pattern that the entire story is going to take place that just repeats itself over and over again which is a shame as I enjoy stories with supernatural creatures in them.

Another one would be Ancient magus bride. Just remembering the time that I spent 3 episodes trying to like the show still pisses me off that I wasted so much time on it rather than dropping it right away.

Vivy is the definition of a snoozefest. It's the only anime during which I've fallen asleep. Although it looks like shit too, the only thing it has going for it is above average animation.

what mushishi needed was a interesting cast of characters like the monogatari series.

Bartender is the worse anime I've watched. It was BORING as hell. About 8 minutes in and I was falling asleep and it felt like I've been watching an episode for 2 hours.

I've only watched two episodes of it and both were hard to get through.

Sonny Boy I guess. It bored the hell outta me. Also I don't think Mushishi was really boring tho. It's not a binge anime. It's a compilation of various beautiful stories is how I see it.

Aria the Natural.

I was already bored with Aria before finishing S1 so Natural with double the episode count of S1 (26 instead of 13) was extremely sleep inducing -- I did fall asleep during several episodes necessitating rewinding to the last remembered scene several times. I think it took a good 2 months to finally put it in the Completed column.

I mean, how many times can you show me St. Mark's square (as nice as it is the first 3 or 4 times?) For frick sakes there was an entire planet (plus those floaty things and underground) that could have been tapped for episode ideas -- but nope.

I kept going because I heard Origination was very good (and it was, when I finally got to it). The Arietta OVA was also delightful. In defense of Natural I thought the last 6 episodes were pretty good -- it seemed the writing suddenly got much better for some reason. My scores went from 5's for S1 and S2 straight to 8's for everything after.

Honey & Clover is a close second. I ended up dropping it after stopping and starting it about 3 times before finally giving up on it. Same with Welcome to the NHK. In the back of my mind I'd like to get back and finish both but with such a large PTW already it's possible that may never happen.

Re. Mushishi wasn't boring for me; it was episodic but it never crossed my boring threshold. Hyouka was slow in a couple spots but nothing major. Maria-sama -- well I totally got enamored with the characters and their stories it ultimately became my #1 but I totally get why some find it slow. I mean, I also almost binge-d Legend of the Galactic Heroes and that one is often mentioned as a slow one (seems it's either loved immediately or else dropped after 10 episodes or so). Kids on the Slope was a tad slow mid-way but I never felt bored with it.

Why bro, Hyouka was quite a good anime..
I really enjoyed the show and it's in my top favorite list...

No matter how much money ufotable pours in its productions, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works and Kimetsu no Yaiba were awfully close to be sleep sessions. In fact, the latter defeated me by being the first and only one actually putting me to sleep while I was watching it.

Throw all the sparkling action sequences you want, it'll never make up for the execrable boring story that is being presented, and this goes for any series/movies.

I agree with you dude why is it so hyped why is it getting the masterpiece or AOTY tag just why, I couldn't stand a single minute of that show there was nothing to hook onto at least in Mushishi we have got that eerie feeling and atmosphere even Hyouka gives a sense of joy and hope with ehmm cuteness?!!?? but Sonny Boy?!!?11!!? I wouldn't even shit on that nonetheless Have a nice day you all.

Both hyouka and Mushishi aren't boring not a single bit dunno why you didn't enjoyed it anyways , for me it's actually a manga and it's pandora hearts it's first fifty chapters are way slow this manga took a lot time to get to it's main point but I just got bored while reading it otherwise the manga is quite good in writing tho and now I am finally going to experience it's high points .

A plus for animation and music but minus on characters and plot.

Quite the opposite for me, my peers tell me it's deep and makes you think about the social interactions that MC and characters have with each and much more. I just didn't see at all, ngl.
But hey each to their own about Oregairu.
