| Gurren Lagann Got very boring after they left earth with the battles having no stakes. Ended up just not caring about which characters dies and whatnot and skipped all the action scenes. However, I loved the concept of the Anti-Spirals and that's why i kept watching. It is also the only anime that put me to sleep. |

| Boruto. I had to drop it at episode 96. I remember that the current arc I was watching wasn't even over yet, but I had no interest anymore. Total snoozefest. The only arc I liked was the Sumire arc near the beginning. |

| @JaniSIr Ah, I also almost never dropped anything I started until I had similar experience with Berserk. I had high expectations since I had hear lot about it and it's well rated & all but I really regretted wasting my life watching that. Not necessarily boring but massive waste of time nevertheless. |

| @IrnFox Yea, I watched like 3 or 4 episodes of that. And dropped the remake movies quickly too, the CGI is so bad. |
| My Happy Marriage would be on my list, I think the problem is going from romance anime like Spice and Wolf with characters/ dynamics like Holo x Lawrence to.....the ones in that show lol. |

| Kyoukai no Rinne. Not even close. It's the only series I kept watching just to see if I could get one chuckle out of it. Any emotion other than boredom and amazement at how boring it was. I watched two whole seasons in this endeavor....Guess what the end result was. This series is the definition of "average" or "mid". This show broke me a bit when trying to rate it. It wasn't bad enough to rate it below a 5, but 5 still felt too high. It was that middle of the road. It was true neutral. Maybe I'm exaggerating how mediocre it is, but I'm not re-watching it to find out. That bored feeling is etched that deep in my psyche. |

| @YordaTrico I didn't watch a whole lot of that, the female lead has the personality of a chewed up door mat. |
| Tejina Senpai maybe? For an anime meant to be with the main girl being a clutz and ending up in lewd positions by accident, it sure lacked a lot of that, and when it got to it, it was maybe a few seconds at best. |

 |
| Tenshi no Tamago. It's not its fault, it's me: I enjoy a lot of anime considered boring by many but not this specific kind (SEL, Texhnolyze, etc.). I watched four of the middle episodes of Endless Eight at the same time because why not, it also helped me noticing the small differences. |
| There are worse anime out there that I've yet to watch or I'm sure don't even know about the existence of and even among those which I've watched there are ones I've rated lower and liked less, but just on a sheer "boringness" factor alone, I'd have to say that something like Zatsu Tabi: That's Journey recently struck me as such. I mean, I'm not someone easily bored at all - usually the opposite and more like inhumanly resistant to boredom in the face of subjects and experiences many others find mind-numbingly boring. And I finished the series because even the rare something largely boring to me is not overly painful or unbearable. But as someone who has seen a sizable enough amount of Slice of Life by now and considers it a top favorite genre, I would say that the reason I felt so in this case as opposed to the genre in general and as opposed to specifically other SoLs which are slower-paced than this or with even less going on plot-wise is just due to how much like a pure travel brochure it felt like with minimal variation or of interest in the plot, characters, or setting beyond that. It called to mind a sentiment of "What is the point of watching this as a fictional anime series when I can see these same travel destinations and even more and more interesting places in Japan and elsewhere in one of those live action travel shows?" Because again, there was very minimal depth or of note shown of the setting, characters, and plot beyond that. It had a similar problem to a more recent series of an entirely different genre, the isekai Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai from the summer season which just finished airing days ago. Skimmed over a bunch of things and dashed about from place to place so much so that something was always or usually happening, but it simultaneously felt like nothing really was happening and everything had no weight because it was just skimmed and rushed through. I'd rather them stay in one place for like half the series and actually flesh it out more as well as the characters themselves. It's weird with Slice of Life because as I said it's one of my favorite genres and some of its series are among my favorite series. And also some of the ones I've liked most I get the general impression are some of the ones even some other SoL fans found dull or otherwise not to their liking like Flying Witch, which I love, or even ones like Super Cub. Yet a few like Zatsu Tabi, which I mentioned, and also some other recent ones from within the past year, I found a little leaning toward the duller side, like Kinoko Inu and Ame to Kimi to. The latter at least had a pleasing atmosphere, aesthetic, and sound design, although I found episode one to be its peak which is sadly the case with some series. But I think what makes me find ones like those a little less fulfilling and interesting compared to the SoL I rate more highly and even rank among favorites is that I feel like they don't add a desired amount of depth to their characters in the same way and/or explore them in a way I find interesting, the dialogue is more straightforward and plain, and they don't have the type of flourishes like a beautiful OST which I view as serving to enhance and elevate otherwise similar genre and similarly-structured and paced series. And despite usually loving SoL and not finding most boring, I still feel that the series I mentioned from the genre fit that description more than other series I found heavily flawed or weak and rated the same or lower from other genres such as horror, thriller, and fantasy ones, as usually those are bad less in a dull way and more in an obnoxious and in-your-face aggressively unintelligent and anger-inducing way. Oh, and also, while we're on the subject of SoL, kind of a SoL + fantasy one that I hesitated to mention at first because I'm only referring to the second season and usually I prefer considering series as a whole, but I really did walk away with that different of an opinion on the first season. By the Grace of the Gods season 2. They took away all the more interesting aspects from season one - Eliaria and the main character's relationship with her, the ducal family, traveling with Eliaria and the ducal family, and more explanations and exploration of the different slime variations and subtypes and raising them, to instead shift focus to introduction of a million bland and half-baked new characters. And 95% of the entire dialogue throughout felt like nothing but repetitive polite pleasantries of people introducing themselves, supplication, and people fawning over and worshiping the main character on a loop. These super sterile power fantasies are really among the worst and while the first season had some signs and indications of being that or eventually leading in such a direction, it really became 10X worse instantly. |

| Platinum End, really boring, don't know how I completed it but I did |
| City the Animation I've given Frieren a lot of shit but Jesus fucking Christ, I don't think City would be worse if it were 13 episodes of 30 minutes of paint drying |
 |
| Roshidere This is just another generic romcom but with the Russian gimmick on it, and the story got dragged out a lot because of some boring election plot shit that nobody asked for. The speeches and intrigues were so cringe that it made me fall asleep. |

| Witch Hunter Robin. "Villain of the week" formula (for the first half of series, at least), boring characters, dialogues, horrible fights, slow pacing. People talked about it because it was made by creators of Ergo Proxy. |
   |
| Maybe Shaman King. The characters were very generic and I don't remember the story having anything worth paying attention which made the overall show dull and due to its length it was hard to watch. Another one would be Dragon ball Super. This one was even worst than GT and I couldn't manage to finish it. Not far from this is the third season of Nanatsu no taizai. Unsightly animation and boring battles summarize it. |
 |
| Aria: The Animation. Gave up after the first disc after a couple attempts, it's not really bad per se but it's far too good at being relaxing. On a positive note if I ever need something to put me to sleep I can always count on this. No Ara-aras about it. |

| Honestly I have watched a lot of ONAs, commercials, music videos and short specials so it's pretty much a smorgasbord of boring content depending on how well they adapt what they are trying to do. Not sure I could pick one, as it's an embarrassment of riches! XD |
 |
| If we are just talking about most boring (nothing to do with being worse than other things) then it would probably be Spy x Family or Suzume (but that one is a movie). After the very first scene of SxF nothing could even slightly amuse me for the rest of the first season (nothing even moved me negatively, it was literally just the most plainly boring show I've ever watched). |

 |
| my neighbor totoro (the most boring shii ive ever seen not just anime) and also a shaft movie called fireworks |
| If something's boring, I do not remember that it was boring, I forget I ever watched it and move on. And I've forgotten all of it. But since I left behind breadcrumbs of what I found boring... I forgot why, but my tags have Fruit's Basket containing "boring" three times, and Show By Rock!! having it at least once. City Hunter: Ai to Shukumei no Magnum has the word "bored" in the tags, same with Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, and Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. Though that last one literally has the "tags" "This anime has achieved "Make me depressed" levels of unfunny. Right now as I write this, I don't look bored... I look depressed. How? How did this illicit the same level of displeasure as Kono Fucking Healer, Mendokusai?", which may or may not indicate that it was worse than boring to me. |

| https://myanimelist.net/anime/23209/Sora_no_Method not to lean too hard into the slice of life guy's shitpost but people here have never truly sat through inane, mindnumbing slop until they sat through this. Sora no Method nearly single handedly killed any interest I had in watching seasonal slop when I was still young and very early into my anime life. in fact, I did not watch anime for around 5 years after. Sora no Method was put here by Lucifer to keep us from a holy communion with anime Jesus. fuck that show. |

| @Zadion Not really, i do think SoL is some of the boring and consequenceless anime out there, nothing ever happens, they just live their lives. |
| For me, it's a toss-up between A Lull in the Sea (Nagi no Asukara) or Naoki Urasawa's Monster; though the former is infinitely more annoying and insufferable than the latter despite being much shorter by comparison. |
