| In your opinion, name some anime that's get hyped/ praised to death, and when you watch it , it meets / exceed your expectation in the end , that you truly think it deserve the hype and praise it got. I want to clarify that this is NOT a thread about the underrated/ underwatched hidden gem you want to share, the show has to be at least popular enough to be hyped/ well known by general public. Also I want to avoid the old classic and aim for newer generation so let's target the anime that was adapted between 2014-2024. I think Frieren "almost" reach the expectation, but I do notice it has some pacing issue compare to the manga despite above average animation. It is most noticeable in the current magic examination arc with some abrupt flashback timing and noticeably drawn out dialogues. (The pacing was perfect when it's more episodic) I think it's good, but NOT as good as Mal currently made it be. I'd say Violet Evergarden the movie reach the expectation for me (Not the TV series though) Made in Abyss season 1 and the Dawn arc movie exceed my expectation too (but season 2 presentation/ execution is pretty mid) |
| In my opinion, Bocchi the Rock! and Oshi no Ko deserve the hype they received. |
| The first season of attack on titan was worth the hype. |
| Well, first answer and it's the same I was gonna post ^^ . Yeah, Bocchi the Rock! exceeded my expectations, from a fun anime with cute girls without too much more than that, to a show that did almost everything perfectly. Oshi no Ko is my favorite manga, it deserves the hype, even beyond the first episode (though I like a lot that first episode/volume, I like even more what goes next, despite many people thinking the opposite). The anime matched my expectations, which is enough, since they were very high. |

| Attack on Titan certainly deserve the hype. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
| Attack on Titan. Personally not as impressed with season 4, but at that point I think the franchise as a whole is already deserving its popularity. |
| I am gonna board the same train as the previous posts and say that AoT truly deserves the hype it gets. It brought anime much more mainstream than it already was, and it is just far better than the current overhyped garbage. |

| Dress up Darling was actually so much better than I was expecting, the anime is really good for a school romcom |
| New anime: Odd Taxi Sequel: AoT s4p1 altho the last 6 or so eps were kinda rushed (COVID i think) |
| Blue lock. i don't even like sports genre. |
| . |
| "Name some popular anime within this decade that "truly" deserve the hype" None really so far. |
 |
| Odd Taxi and Vivy are some of the best original anime ever made. Attack on Titan might have peaked in S3P2, but The Final Season still delivered a strong finale. Mushoku Tensei is the best isekai in terms of world building and has amazing animation and music. Frieren's episodes feel like they go by in 10 minutes with how easy it is to get invested in the characters and world. |
| Vivy is the last anime I watched that lived up to its hype. The last one before that was Yuri On Ice. |

| I heard a decent amount of people inside and outside of the anime community talking about the following series before I even watched them, and generally with a very positive feedback, I really liked them myself too: Konosuba Your Lie in April Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!

| As much as it pains me to say it, Attack on Titan is somewhat deserving at least. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the adaptation, but the manga is genuinely incredibly good. Was very much in the hater-camp until I started reading instead of watching. |

Really? Not a single one you can think of?
Is there a show you think is really underrated and deserves more a lot more hype/praise?

| @Akuyatsun Sure, there are plenty of underrated shows and hidden gems I could mention, but this thread isn't about them after all. |

| Im sure most people not gonna agree but Chainsaw Man they were 3-4 strange animation parts but that than that I like the adaptation and I think its the best shounen from the last generation |

| @IKKIsama I mean it's actually pretty hyped pretty early on. Even won anime of the year in Crunchyroll one time too i remember. If anything, Demon Slayer is hyped a bit later into the episodes compare to Made in Abyss (Only after Spider Mountain) |

New anime: Odd Taxi
Sequel: AoT s4p1 altho the last 6 or so eps were kinda rushed (COVID i think)

| @TRC_Randy Yeah Odd Taxi is pretty good too now i remember. Though it kinda lose its popularity quickly after it finished airing compare to some other big shows, sadly. |
| I guess these 4 anime below truly deserved the hype as they were very popular among the community: 1. Spy x Family 2. Oshi no Ko 3. Sousou no Frieren 4. My Dress-Up Darling |

| @Ventus_S well that's for the 2020s decade. For 2014-2024 decade since that's what you actually mean, it was easily and definitely OPM s1. Deserved all the hype and praise. |

| @Ventus_S Yeah, I mean Made in Abyss wasn't one of those super anticipated anime and IIRC it's really after episode 10 (out of 13) that reaction videos started to pop everywhere on YouTube. |
| Jujutsu Kaisen really deserves the praise it gets. It honestly set a new standard as far as animated fight scenes are concerned. |
Take care of yourself |
| So many people in this thread who can't math and don't understand that the current decade is 2021-2030, not 2020-2029. Lmfao. Anyway, disregarding the math illiterates. Some anime of the current decade that are popular (not necessarily in the west) and deserve the hype: Mushoku Tensei Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Isekai Ojisan Oniichan wa Oshimai! Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete |

| @LoveLikeBlood I am not denying Jujutsu animation is good, but saying it set a new standard for animated fight is just false because some long term anime observers found out a lot of fight scene paneling/ camera angle are basically direct copy from some older anime classic fight scenes. It borrows some amazing fight scenes from the past, but i don't think it sets a new standard since a lot of older shows have amazing fight scenes too. |
