Half of the Ghost In The Shell franchise. For example I don't like the first movie and the second SAC season but those are still good.

One piece IMO , not a big fan of it but I think it's understandable that why people love it so much.

One Piece and One Punch Man

I can recognize these shows as well done and lovable for folks, but stuff really ain't for me.

Same. I've heard a ton of great things about both, but cannot stand One Punch Man.

if you dont get it let me explain with examples - I dont like S;G its just that i expected a complex time traveling (somethink like past, present and future versions of charecters interacting with each other)in this but i dont think this anime is bad (don't criticize me on this coz this thread not for that and also its just my opinion),

So here's mine
Steins;Gate (quite obvious)
Fruits basket
Grand blue
The promised neverland
Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You
Fate series
Gintama (only watched 38 ep)



thank god you already tell not to critize you about steins gate because steins gate is one of best anime if you use your brain but i also rewatch steins gate 2times now i understand the full story

Zero. I can maybe appreciate what they'd do for the audience that like them, but if I didn't like it, I definitely ain't calling it good.

It hasn't happened yet, all anime I dislike I truly believe that they're not good at all. However, it happens when we're talking about cinema, I don't like Tarantino's movie (mostly), but I know he's a great director and writer.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Hunter x Hunter. It's very well- written, but I didn't really enjoy most of it. Maybe if I rewatched it someday my opinion would change though.

I would say for example animes treating sports that i'm interested in like one outs, i think it's a good anime but i don't like baseball, i can also think of anime treating a sport that i know well in a poor way (or in a non realistic way) like Kuroko no basket, thoug i still think it's a decent anime.

Unlike other "elitist" anime like LoGH, Monster and Ping Pong, the anime listed below are utter failures at entertaining, but they certainly have other qualities.

Mushishi
Serial Experiments Lain
Texhnolyze
Kaiba
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Cowboy Bebop
The Tatami Galaxy

Below are all highly acclaimed anime and I personally believe that they deserve the praise that they get. I'll just list the reasons why I didn't dig it as much as most others.

<3


Death Note - really thought the 2nd half detracted from the show

Re:Zero - snooze fest

Evangelion - ok I actually think this one is kind of shit actually, sorry nge fans

Oregairu - annoyingly insufferable characters

Slime Isekai - no stakes, too happy go lucky, dropped

Beastars - furries

To Your Eternity - snooze fest after the first arc

Perfect Blue - weirdly uncomfortable and uncomfortably weird

Spirited Away - just weird

K-on! - annoying

Kokoro Connect - kids who think they're cool

Parasyte - so many moving parts but didn't come together nicely. also failed to follow chekov's gun

Re:Creators - felt stretched out

86 (part 1) - snooze fest

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song - messy script

Monster -dropped this one actually, just wasn't in the mood for something with a gray tone, physically and metaphorically speaking

Psycho-Pass - meh ending

Death Parade - should've stayed 99% episodic with just %1 of something to tie it all off in the end. Wanted it to focus entirely on the human characters rather than start to delve into the humanity or whatever of the god characters

Land of the Lustrous - idk actually, just wasn't feeling it

A Place Further than the Universe - was just personally expecting more punches to the gut after hearing how this apparently got a lot of people in the feels. Same goes for stuff like Anohana and Your LIe in April as well

<3


I still enjoyed the anime listed above for the most part (except evangelion because fuck that shit yo), but only by a slim percentage, like 55% enjoyed 45% not enjoyed to put it roughly; which is definitely not as much as the majority of audiences who watched each particular anime.

Just realized I put a lot on this list which I think were good but just didn't enjoy them as much as others. I'll put in bold the ones I have the strongest opinions on: The ones I think are REALLY good, but for me, are meh.

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru seems really loved, but I simply can't handle ur average loner guy x best girl. It's too much wish fulfillment for me, even though the animation is beautiful, cosplay plot could be interesting, the mc actually has a character and the girl is a gyaru(yes I have a thing for gyaru). Yet I still treat it as ur usual "teasing genre" and drop it.

To me, Elfen Lied was trash... but I never, ever found it boring, which can't be said for some of the anime I liked better! So it's good in that sense. I can understand why some people like it so much.

Generally shows that are considered good but are from genres that I don't like or shows with to many symbolisms (like Utena, I understand why it's loved, but it was just a good show for me).

I'm sick and tired of Isekai. but if you were to remove the isekai it would make a decent fantasy.

I'm not going to call an anime that I didn't like to be good. I might say it's not for me, but I won't be calling it good. Probably the only exception to this is anything tagged with "shounen-ai".




Maybe try sleeping?

Cowboy bebop and baccano! for me, it is difficult "praising" a show you didn't enjoy.
I would describe them as good shows to rewatch In the background while cooking or in the living room with low audio while chatting,you know what I mean?

More of a comment on the comments than a comment on the post topic, but thanks for the hardy laughs to everyone who commented stuff along the lines of "I only like good anime 😎" or "If I don't like it, it's bad 😎". Imagine not having perspective 😂

Serial Experiments Lain.
Like, I get what it was trying to go for, and I can agree that it did it well. Its themes and subject matter were ahead of its time, it had a pretty unique atmosphere and I can't think of any real glaring flaws... but I just found it so dull to sit through. By the time it was over, I just wanted to move on to something else immediately and not bother to reflect on it or try to glean any deeper meaning out of it or anything.

Most of them are because I didn't enjoy watching them, but I don't think I could say anything atrociously bad about any of these (well... maybe for a couple of them I could).

Berserk, not sure about this one, I know is good and I admit it has a great story, I suppose it is just not for me.
Cowboy Bebop, I enjoyed most of the last episodes and I love the movie. The thing is... some episodic animes tend to bore me, so that's on me.
Devilman: Crybaby (cuz is the only one I saw), I was just soooooo bored while watching it, but overall the story is not bad.
Hellsing (both), I know is it supposedly good, but it just bored me so much.
Odd Taxi, not for me, none of the plot twists really surprised me, though I will admit that the story, art and characters are good.
Zankyou no Terror, I have to rewatch this since I watched it when I was a lot younger, but I remember it being uninteresting and boring for me.
