EcchiKingMamster said: you obviously haven't seen any other battle harem if you're saying that.. theres a reason its been mentioned 5 times and my penis strongly disagrees with that statement For me generic means using all the tropes and still manages to be boring through all the 20 minutes of the episode. If it has fanserivce it can't be THAT boring. Infinite Stratos and Asterisk War are much better examples of generic battle harem. |

| since Hundred has been said so many times already, Asterisk War. Fairy Tail's also really high on the list. Oh yeah, Plastic Memories too |

Zelev said: Eh? Do you really need proof? It's been done a bunch of times. There's Ergo Proxy, Death Parade, Eve no Jikan, Ghost in the Shell even briefly touches on that. There's also regular TV shows, such as the sci-fi "Dark Matter" on Netflix where they literally dedicate an entire arc to their robot. The concept itself is not original by any means. What matters is the direction/execution. Plastic Memories had the worst execution imo. Almost everything in fiction has been done a bunch of times. The thing is, for every story that is about robots developing feelings, there are dozens of stories that just involve mindless action or comedy. How many anime are out there that are like Plastic Memories or the ones you've mentioned compared to the endless amount of romantic comedies and battle harems? Not many. |

| Rio: Rainbow Gate by a mile, it's an anime made to promote freakin Pachinko machines, and is just a hodgepodge of fanservice tropes. Also Super Sonico: The Animation for similar reasons. |

| Probably Beyond the Boundary although it's not the worst. It's sup-bar Future Diary, having all the elements of Fantasy/Romance/Humor/Darkness without the wacky nature of the former. Future Diary pushed everything to the extreme, wanted to get the best of each element. Beyond the Boundary just coasts along. |

| People clearly haven't seen Tokyo Underground and just bashing on shows they hate, like always. Felt like I said this before. |
| Baka and Test. I don't understand how people find it funny...none of the jokes are original, and they keep getting repeated every episode. It's a staple "average comedy anime". |
 |
| I don't know how to choose a single title as "the most" generic A bunch of Kyoto Animation's TV series can be described wtih the word generic. Fantasy and Harem are also overflooding with anime that looks exactly the same @Johnnyd3rp I knew someone thought like this too @OmegaOtaku there's a gay love interest at least. Not that it makes less garbage anyway @sasalx And what exactly being a Shojo has to do with how generic this series is? |

| idk? Random sports anime or battle shounen are good guesses, they always rely on the same tropes and I always love them for it. Is it? I can't think of another example of a show that is basically the same. It seems kinda fringe in terms of how sadistic and mean-spirited it was. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| @Tsukihiko My point was that was the most generic shoujo I ever see. So yea... @Pullman Well that show has many overused shoujo tropes like literally braindead mc(female for this case). Bad boy male MCs. Unimportant support characters etc. Tbh I really want to watch a good shoujo at that time probably after reading Arisa but oh well. If you like it for another aspect nice. If I have to give a good shoujo example it would be Akatsuki no Yona. Also if I have to give a reverse version of DL it would be Kampfer. God that show is so generic even for the harem genre. The thing is both Kampfer and DL has an interesting twist and that is why I started to watch it but yea. |

Asterisk War is mostly notable for having extra dozes of politics and backstabbing from a sports anime. That main mystery is notable too, but I did not watch the second season, so I do not know if it actually plays a role. It is still more than Hundred, which can only boast its female cast and the winning girl. Zelev said: Apoc_Revolution said: Almost everything in fiction has been done a bunch of times.

Ah, forget it. I wasn't trying to change your opinion about Plastic Memories anyway. |

| Probably Photokano. Another generic harem with just about every cookie cutter girl in the book |
  |
| Owari no Seraph. It wasn't really bad, it was just by-the-numbers. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sword art online. Why did this have to get an anime adaptation?! |
 |
| I'll put Hundred in at 6 votes an add DanMachi as valid contenders for most generic anime ever. |
| Sword Art Online and that garbage Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni |
 |
| No Game No Life and Angel Beats. They weren't bad, there's just really nothing special about them. Pretty generic plot, characters and design. |
 |
| Probably Da Capo III, reused every possible ecchi cliche in a very clumsy way. Just think of any female archetype or embarassing situation you've seen a million times before, and it most probably happened in this series as well, ugh. Not to mention ugly artstyle and cheap animation, bad even for anime like this. |

Regardless of whether or not you think it's a good show, it was pretty original at the time and the production value alone is enough to save it from ever being 'generic' in my eyes.

The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.  |
| How to define generic again? Wasn't most of the genre follow popularity? And most of anime isn't original if you define them on the terms of depths. The real thing about generic when it felt like a sequel or the same anime that's not related to it. It applies to story, character,ost,art. Maybe something like hundred? Because it's very similiar with infinite stratos both characters,story,even art. I don't felt like they even trying in terms of story and designing their character to have more different personalities for the generic genre it has. I am not saying it's terrible but oh god,at the beginning of the story is exactly similar with infinite stratos. I am not defending isekai smartphone but it is generic but it has difference such as "the smartphone". Remove it and there you go, the example generic anime. Otherwise even with the smartphone that barely mentioned, I cannot argue that it's pretty generic both story and characters, because there's alot example for the genre with similiar summary away from carrying a smartphone to isekai. (Maybe if they did try to make the character more interesting than being so goddamn op and very typical heroine + modified story that actually have a reason what the hell he should do with that adventure genre unless it is a slice of life then we're talking, the adventure felt like similar to Dog Days, Making it more episodic more than anything) Now SAO wouldn't really generic in terms of story. It was like the first? I don't know and I don't really care. When you mentioned it's generic it's mainly focused on the character. Oh god kiritolord where he becomes so goddamn op, chickmagnet that used on other genres. Same with asuna, Tsundre, Useless,and basically 2D personality without development. Basically nothing interesting on both characters. I can't really remember the ost, the op/ed is quite okay and you can't really compare it unless you're dying so hard to compare over useless stuff. Well in my opinion Issei Hyodou from "Generic harem/ecchi and shit" DxD has better character than Kirito. Character growth and development is necessary to show that they're actually affect the progress to both side and main characters. There's also terms of design,but by the time anime becomes more old and mainstream all characters will look similar with the older one. There's Limitation for it, and the core also depends on backgrounds; school,fantasy,slice of life, sports,mecha, historical. I am not sure if it's not necessary for other people but if you did remove the terms of story and characters uniqueness it'll obviously become a generic af, boring story,just all fanservice fest they can offer. Again talking about this felt very subjective on each person perspective. But I'll vote for hundred, its the perfect example how do you rip off another story and characters. |

Copied hack//sign's premise? don't make me laugh. 1) In hack//sign, there is only one kid who is stuck in a game, which is caused by magic, and the kid is in no immediate danger, only panicking. In SAO a whole lot of people (about 10 000) are trapped in the game, they have no connections with outside world, and they are in danger of dying from in-game causes. This is caused by mad scientist terrorist. 2) SAO is everything hack//sign is not - action, romance, mystery... Most importantly, it's fun, unlike the boring crap that is hack//sign. Maurice_5 said: I've got two contenders. The one I've actually finished was Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou, which... I can't even say was bad, just forgettable.

It's a speech about how fiction is a great thing, near the end. Well, Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou anime is forever going to stand as an example of rushed adaptation, because the anime crew suddenly learned they don't have enough episodes. ThatCynicalOtaku said: Isekai Smartphone. Smartphone represents the most boring, bare-bones, elements of an isekai harem, stripping it from any possible charm or uniqueness of it, resulting in an anime so generic, it's like a satire, of generic isekai harem anime. The only logical reason anybody would like this anime, is if they've never seen another isekai harem anime. I have never seen an anime, where the lack of any care put into it, was so obvious. Lies. One thing that makes Isekai Smartphone what it is is the protagonist. Compared to bad people like Kazuma, Isekai Smartphone's MC is a breath of fresh air.

SAO LN vol 1 stated that it was originally rough sketch made by author for ascii competition before ot was disqualified because surpassing long limit so he publish it as web novel and gaining popularity then getting physical released after got licenced.. |

Copied hack//sign's premise? don't make me laugh. 1) In hack//sign, there is only one kid who is stuck in a game, which is caused by magic, and the kid is in no immediate danger, only panicking. In SAO a whole lot of people (about 10 000) are trapped in the game, they have no connections with outside world, and they are in danger of dying from in-game causes. This is caused by mad scientist terrorist. 2) SAO is everything hack//sign is not - action, romance, mystery... Most importantly, it's fun, unlike the boring crap that is hack//sign |

| Have to say Owari no Seraph is the most generic anime I've seen.. |

Most importantly, it's fun, unlike the boring crap that is hack//sign You want to pick a fight? SAO's MC is no more overpowered than the MCs in your favorites like Death Note and Naruto. There are no plot holes, only viewers too dumb to think. The romance is one of the best anime romances meant for men. Of course, I don't expect a kid like you to understand. And the phrase "forced harem" holds no meaning. But most importantly, "generic" does not mean "bad". Even if you somehow prove SAO is bad, it will not make it generic. It still stands tall against all competition, with no works quite like it. |
