Anything labeled Avant Garde. Only one on my PtW right now is Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!, and I'm not sure if I'd even like it.

Me stupid, after all.

Anything gender-swap related like the one ninja anime with the white haired girl, Kampfer and the twintail anime. Oh and those weird shoujo anime where the guy dresses up like a girl to seduce the girl, wtf is that.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure just looks too disgusting to me. I'm sure it is fine when getting used to it, but it is too painful for my eyes to try.

@Zarutaku It reminds me of the Sailor and the 7 ballz duology and Starballz created by mmg (and they made more stuff like that), and also its quite surprising (to me at least) to see a porn parody of a box office failiure that eventually became a cult classic some time later

Not that it's weird it's just I prefer Yuri over yaoi it's why I won't try it. Reverse harem doesn't bug me so I watch one once in a while but I prefer harem.

The closest thing I can think of is Belladonna of Sadness. It seems to me like it's overtly "avant-garde" 1970s hippie type of stuff. Even as a former art student, I was never into that sort of thing.

There are a few that come to mind as very challenging:

FLCL
Sonny Boy
Paranoia Agent
Kill La Kill
Monogatari-verse by Shaft

nothing can be taken literally in these, full of symbolism. It's a lot of mental work to watch these. FLCL is especially difficult with the frenetic sequences.

I guess they can be rewarding if you're willing to 'work' at them, but I prefer my anime to be more enjoyment w/o tropes if possible.

I'm surprised that movie is scored so much higher than the rest of the trilogy. 1001 Nights has far wider appeal. Cleopatra perhaps has a narrow appeal, being weird without being avant-garde.

NTR in general (so not just hentai) is trash, I don't like cheating stories where the cheats actually get away with it.

Weirdness is what makes me want to watch something. Though a lot of avant garde shorts I dont find appealing at all after watching them. Some are quite good but the ones that use claymation and stuff tend to be awful but being short i have no reason to avoid it entirely so i check sometimes.

@Yuu_Kanzaki it has some of the best world building and long-form storytelling in the medium, which admittedly is something you do only start appreciating once you invested a lot of time into the series. it also has some pretty good comedy.

mind you, I'm saying this as someone who doesn't particularly care about OP. the pacing is glacial, the characters are flat, and fights are too cartoony. the way I managed to get through it was reading the manga, allowing me to skim all the boring parts and endless flashbacks, and even then I had to stop during Dress Rosa because I just didn't care enough.

Years ago, I watched a few episodes of Baki, but I stopped because I thought it was too ridiculous. However, for some reason, I decided to give it another chance this year, watched the whole series on Netflix and I found it quite entertaining. Your appreciation of a series definitely varies greatly depending on your mood or criteria at a given moment.

@Yuu_Kanzaki If you wanna claim cost sunk fallacy, then look at my dropped list. Cope harder. You just dont have what it takes to get invested. You're intimidated by One Piece so to make your self feel better, you wanna accuse other fans of cost sunk fallacy.

All One Piece haters are the same, impatient or brain dead with poor story comprehension. After all, this is the age of tiktok. Its rare that I see a valid One Piece criticism, and even then, I accept the criticism as no show is perfect. And im not gonna be one of the people who tell you to wait 50 episodes, no, the story is good straight away if you stop rushing to catch up and enjoy the ride. I loved OP since episode 1. I never wait till it ‘got good’.

Oh, and one piece haters they 9/10 end up as fans once they are past the stage of looking down on One Piece. Moistcrtical is a prime example.

You'll regret not giving this show a chance when they find One Piece and its spoiled for you, because it will break the internet.


And by the way, you dont even have to watch 1,000 episodes. One Pace exists, getting rid of the pacing issues and filler, you will only have to watch 500 episodes, so there really arent excuses about pacing, filler, or anything like that. https://onepace.net/en/watch

@_ohara I took a look at your dropped list and none of them even comes close to one piece. Do you even know what cost sunk fallacy is? Those numbers are baby compared to to one piece that has 1000 episodes.

Have you ever thought the possibility that it's not one piece haters have poor story comprehension, but rather one piece itself is poorly written? One of the hardest things in writing a good story is writing a good ending, and seems like one piece is struggling.

I watch moist but his takes on anime are as bland as ever. Just what you would expect from someone who watches mostly shounen. JJK, demon slayer? Yeah, one piece would sit nicely on that list lmao

Can't expect a shounen fan to use their head huh.
