I know there's a lot of mainstream anime you guys think are overrated, so I'd like to know what ones you think aren't.

In my opinion

One piece

Attack on Titan

Death Note

Fullmetal Alchemist 

Hunter x Hunter

Jujutsu Kaisen

etc

AoT, Death Note, HxH, Chainsaw Man, etc. Too many to count, frankly.

I don't really associate with the crowd of folk who call everything new or popular 'overrated'. Whenever I don't like something, I usually just write it off as not for me and move on.

Evangelion, Haruhi, FMAB and Madoka are the most obvious places where "extremely popular" and "absolutely brilliant" coincide.

Hunter X Hunter and Death Note definitely deserve high popularity, also Mushoku Tensei. I would also add Oshi no Ko based on my personal preference.

Wayyyyyy too many to count but I'll take these from MAL's top 100:

Steins;Gate
Attack on Titan
Fruits Basket: The Final
Violet Evergarden (Anime and the movie)

There is definitely a lot more but I'm lazy and it's 9:31 AM so I don't wanna include more

Fruits Basket is not super popular and  s 9:31 AM is not that of an early hour.


Really? I remember it being very popular back when it was airing. 9:31 AM is early for me since I'm not good with mornings.

I find this thread funny, seeing the wide range of series titles.

My bet on popular (50,000+ users) series that are worthwhile is the following:

Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Dragon Ball
Saint Seiya
The Big O
Outlaw Star
Samurai Champloo
Fate/Stay Night 2006
Akira
Ninja Scroll
InuYasha
Ranma 1/2
Mai-HiME
Crayon Shin-Chan
Initial D
Boogiepop wa Wawaranai 2000
Koukaku Kidoutai
Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex
Chi's Sweet Home
Yu Yu Hakusho
Sailor Moon
Hataraku Saibou!
Rainbow
Claymore
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Azumanga Daioh
Erementar Gerad

Attack on Titan
Fullmetal Alchemist
Steins;Gate
Jujutsu Kaisen
Noragami (is that popular enough?)
D.Gray-man (^)
Inuyasha
Made in Abyss
All well-known Ghibli movies

My issue with some people looking down on popular anime, especially pooular shounen, is that they laugh it off right from the start.
I've read / heard two times now "it's okay to like Noragami, everyone nedds something dumb inbetween without heavy themes" and I ask myself if we read the same manga or watched the same anime. That whole thing is about getting away from an abusive family besides other well-done themes, but people don't care to look deeper what others could like in popular series.

Erementar Gerad is not popular and it was rated less than 50000 users. Same as  Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and other anime on that list.

Erementar Gerad has 93,000 users and Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo has 90,000.

Thanks for proving me right by posting those links.

Well, I take it that you are stern in your position. If that is the case, there is no point in trying to convince you that my choices were reasonably valid.

Good choices. Have you seen Cardcaptor Sakura? I feel like it would be right up your alley, (though I last saw it as a child under the name of Cardcaptors).

None. Hype ruins your perception.
You should be levelheaded to properly get the difference between what you simply enjoyed and what you actually consider as good.

And yes, there are hugely popular anime which are actually good, but hype is obfuscating those.

Hype and popularity are different things so there is no problem.

If you actually have read my post, you would've noticed that I am treating those as separate things...but you haven't. If there's problem it's somewhere at your end.

Wow you are so stupid you make it sound as if you are not the one who talked about them  as if they are similar or linked things. You are funny neckbeard.

Congratulations! You have unlocked a rare achievement: being added to AlShu's ignore list.

Nothing. Literally no anime deserves the hype it gets. I hope we see the day every anime goes below 8.0 average.
