I can't judge a show boring without watching even 1 episode. I dropped Osamake as soon as the first episode ended.

Hyouka is probably the most boring anime I've ever seen. Dropped it twice. I just can't.

Of all the most boring anime I've encountered, Mononoke takes the cake.

why do you think its boring? I was planning on watching it soon

I could not care less why the math teacher got one of his questions wrong and it's just not entertaining to watch this humorless bunch sit around a table for an entire episode trying to unravel this mundane "mystery".

Steins Gate, incredibly dull start and barely got better, fell asleep multiple times.

Aria, garbage moe slice of life shit

Code Geass, boring politics and stupid development.

Juuni Kokuki, more boring politics and pathetic pacing, fell asleep at least 5 times

K on, more garbage moe shit, very boring watching school girls have tea

All 5/10 or worse, you're the biggest clown if you unironically like this shit.

As someone who likes slice of life and CGDCT I have to agree with the guy who said Aria the animation. I've tried to watch it twice and it's just so boring and slow.

Honorable mention to hanabi rami or what ever that stupid angel anime from 2004 is called.

Not gonna lie, i'm kinda feeling this right now with A Lull in the Sea. I started it months ago and i'm still just barely over the halfway point. And, i mean, i wouldn't exactly call it a POS or anything, but... i just think it's really not for me.

I don't like the love polygon angle (which is a huge component of the show) or any of the characters involved in it, and i find that the worldbuilding is not nearly as interesting as the premise initially makes it sound.

probably every dropped anime in our list right???


for mine, some of the worth mentioned are:
-glass lip
-shirobako

(they both same studio cmiiw)

also many shoujo animes, although I haven't tried to watch them more than twice:
-fruits basket
-ore monogatari

there is also seinen romance like golden time
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

Probably the most boring anime I have actually watched a considerable amount was Re;Zero. The plot just refuses to move in that anime because of the time loop gimmick, and it also just repeats the formula, being extremely predictable.
And season 2 is even worse with more slow pacing and way too many flashbacks.

Honorable mention to Texnolyze for not having any dialogue in the first episode.
That's just an offensive waste of time, at least I can believe that the creators of Re:Zero tried to make a good anime even of they failed really hard, this one was intentional.

Why does it bore you? Because it feels too much like a play and/or is too stilted in its presentation so as to be sufficiently narratively immersive or emotionally engaging?

Yeah, I feel like you really have to be into politics or REAL robots or smt to get some kind of enjoyment out of it... which is a shame cause the director's other anime around the same time, Blue Gender, was pretty good.

Politics in other anime and manga seem more interesting to me than whatever Gasaraki does with them. I remember seeing people praise Blue Gender in the past, so I'll be checking it out in the future.

I don't know the reason. Sorry. But I like "Robe of Feathers" from Phoenix which feels like a play.

Everything I've dropped, basically. Outside of a few examples, simply being boring is generally the leading factor in me dropping a series

In-general, I'd say that being boring is usually the biggest sin a piece of media can commit, outside of some really hyper-specific examples

angel's egg. that being said i did actually manage to finish it, if out of nothing but pure spite and stubbornness. longest hour of my fucking life.

also trying my damndest to watch through another right now. i'll watch it before bed, and try as i might, every time i simply cannot get through more than one full episode without falling asleep. it is, unironically, an amazing sleep aid. i'm just holding out hope that at some point it'll become so bad it's good.

Despite loving Kyoto Animation and their works, Hyouka, despite being incredible for its soundtrack, graphic, animations and atmosphere is just boring.
I won't say it's bad but I just fall asleep every time I try to watch it.

Anything that I've dropped. That usually happens because of how boring it gets, even if that anime has some redeeming qualities. If it doesn't ''Click'' with me, i just don't care; for example, Ao no Exorcist and Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic comes to mind.

However, there is one anime i couldn't stand because of how insanely boring it was; Sakurada Reset. Dropped it when it aired back in 2017. Besides finding it's characters really flat, it was just horribly boring. Felt every single second of it, and not in a good way.

I agree, it’s the most boring and overrated anime I’ve ever seen. I usually like slower paced shows but it was so mind-numbingly boring to watch, I did end up finishing it but it wasn’t worth it.

I too enjoy slow paced shows but stuff like Aria has a likeable cast and funny/interesting situations. Without either, Hyouka is like watching paint dry.

There's no harm in dropping a show if you aren't getting anything out of it. You don't have to waste your time.

Almost anything I've dropped could count. Some of my dropped shows aren't boring per se, but were dropped for other reasons. In most cases, they were dropped because they were boring and had other issues. I really tried to give Naruto a chance, but it just wasn't doing anything for me.

You've confused boring with "bad".  Bad/shit things have potential to be fun to watch, but being boring can ruin even a well written story. Which I would argue is far worse than just being outright shit.

Also, way to just copy and paste your title. The appropriate amount of work for this.

Vinland Saga season 2

I forced myself to watch 4 episodes

The Vikings war against England is one of the most exciting periods in human history 

Look at the tv show Vikings it has everything huge battles awesome characters and shield maidens that kiss each other,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Vinland Saga has NOTHING. It's about slaves that are cutting trees and are sad and doesn't want to live anymore or something like that Lol I stopped listing after the first episode........And no strong females just a fucking sausage party 

Vinland Saga why can't you be more like Vikings?

If the point of that segment is to bore me to death about stupid shit I don't care about then mission accomplished 

Dude stop being so insecure. If you like Vinland Saga good for you. The world won't end because we have different tastes. If you can't handle any kind of criticism against your favorite cartoons please use the ignore function in the future =)
