| What was the complaint? Why did it make you want to watch? Was it a good decision to watch the show? |
| Yeah, Fairy Tail. People complained about the fanservice and this is what I wanted, a battle shonen with more fanservice. I gave it a try and enjoyed the show. |
 |
| Ye Domestic Girlfriend. All those complaints about it being a massive trainwreck made me want to see it for myself. Ngl it wasn't that bad of a show tbh Also, Aldnoah 0 and Chuunibyou's 2nd seasons. Both were basically shunned to death and while the latter wasn't entirely bad, the former was beyond terrible |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Yeah, I saw some users talking about Utsu musume Sayuri, saying stuff like it's one of the worst series ever. Checked it out and saw it was only about 3 min long and thought to myself, oh well, just how bad can it be. OMG , never again! Worst decision ever.Should have listened to all these people and stayed away from it. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Kind of, I picked Darling in the FranXX back up after dropping it when people went crazy over Kokoro. |
 |
| Not really. If anime fans who gobble up almost every single trash show that gets released say something is bad it must be beyond unwatchable. |
| I never lie on the internet. What's the point of it... the chinese noodles ad is an anime and avatar isn't! triggered Check out my taste and my profile. |
| My Sister, My Writer People complained about shitty artwork and the whole little sister incest thing... And you know what? They were right. It was awful, but I got a few laughs out of it because of that so I guess I didn't leave empty-handed |
| Oregairu is life |
| Ange Vierge. Back when I watched more anime youtubers, a bunch of them got together to do the Weebcast, where they went through every show in a season to review the first episode. For summer 2016, Best Guy Ever spent 11 minutes screaming and laughing about Ange Vierge and from what he said I thought, "I have to know" |
| Not in the sense that I wasn't already gonna watch it before they spouted their toxic bullshit, but people trashtalking shows whose appeal they don't understand can definitely make me more excited for them. When I see a show has a shit score and shit reviews and then I read a bit through them and everyone is just shitting on it for being episodic and not fully plot-oriented, I'm only gonna be more hyped since I love episodic shows and the more people hate them for the lack of plot the better their story usually is. E.g. Cowboy Bebop or Mushishi. Basically whenever people hate a show for simply being what it is, for trying to do what it tries to do, instead of hating it for being bad at what it tries to do, I'm gonna become interested in the show as long as I like what it is trying to do. Any criticism uttered by a person who judges a show not based on how good it is at what it is trying to do, but simply based on it doing something that doesn't appeal to them personally (even if it is being fantastic at that) is basically utterly useless and worthless and I treat it as air or as simply confirming a certain kind of genre or content tag attached to the show. So many complaints and criticism write walls of text but essentially boil down to 'This show is of (sub)genre X and therefore not to my liking' so not treating those as actual criticism, but just as an indicator of what a show is trying to do makes sense to me. Haters think they are criticizing the show when they really are just categorizing it as belonging to a certain (sub)genre while spamming irrelevant insults at the side because they hate that (sub)genre for irrational reasons and think their preference amounts to criticism. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Sorry in advance, my friends hated a sertain anime and told me that I would probably like it. However I can't say they recommend it to me, since they told me things about what happens in it, that they didn't like. Still telling me that I would probably enjoy it as much as they didn't. The anime in question is "Schwarzesmarken". |
 |
| School Days, people were complaining about how "fucked up" it was. This made me curious, and I wanted to watch it. Domestic Girlfriend because people were complaining about how horny and pervy the main character was. Honestly didn't think he was that much of a pervert, certainly not on the level of Issei or Makoto. I might give Fairytale a chance cause I would like to see a shonen with plenty of fanservice. But I should probably finish Bleach first and that's gonna take awhile cause I'm only 1/3 of the way through lol. |

| No publicity is bad publicity. Thanks for recommending me Sao haters. |
| I saw some people completely destroying Wataten and talking about how it is horrible and unwatchable because of how 'pervy' it is, so I checked it out. I didn't think it's bad or remarkably pervert, it even gave me some chuckles and all. |
 |
| Pupa. I watched like a 5 minute video of this guy shitting on it. I was like "ahah it cant be THAT bad lemme watch it and see lol" I watched it. It was that bad. In fact it was one of the worst anime I have ever watched. |
| Yeah, happened to me with Franxx, and I ended up agreeing with all the complaints people had with it. |
     |
| -akame ga kill: my friend constantly complained of how shit it is, i was curious since the mal score of it is decent... lets just say i should have listened to my friend and avoid it. -domestic girlfriend: someone on youtube said its trash so i gave it a try. it was objectively bad but i really enjoyed it. -pupa: couldn't get past the first 2 mins. -hametsu no mars: i acually finished this one, it was hilarious tbh. -fairy tail: its not as bad as people make it out to be but its just boring as fuck. -aku no hana: idk why people complain about the artstyle, i think it really fit the story and make it even more unsettling in a good way. -sao: the writing aside from the first episode is absolute grabage, can't say i didn't enjoy it tho. |
 |
| Someone write bad review on Konosuba,i watched it and for me it is a masterpiece |
 |
| Yeah, I wanted to see what was up with SAO. |
ロード中です...  |
| Not technically. The only one that would really qualify would be SAO, but it was one of the first anime I watched, and that was well before I even joined MAL |
| My cousin once start talking about Evangelion y it get my attention because he said how difficult it is to understand. That's how I get curiosity for EVA and start watching. Plus it was my first anime and became my favorite too. |
 |
| Not sure if I can remember but for sure it was Darling in the franxx. Although if it weren't for heated discussions that ended up on AD as well it would have probably go unnoticed because mecha genre isn't my cup of tea. |
| Yeah that's usually how it works for me. The more haters an anime has the more I wanna know why lol. |
| Possibly, for instance if people are whining about things I don't mind watching. |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| Yu-gi-oh ZEXAL. First 14 episodes were complete and utter dogshit. Then, I grew attached to the series |
 |
| For Me It was School Days back in 2013. I watched this video on Youtube named "Top 10 Biggest Assholes in anime" (In spanish since then the only youtubers I watched in English at that time were Smosh, some Pokemon YTbers and a bit of pewds). There were 2 versions, One ofr Male characters and One for Female characters. Makoto and Sekai were the #1 of their respective lists so I decided to watch it. I Really liked it back then. It was until recently (More or less 2017) when I realized what the show's weakpoints were, mainly in the art and Animation department. If it got a remake by a Big budget studio maybe it would be more famous rather than infamous since the plot is decent. |

| If its getting that much attention, then it would only be natural to be curious and go see for yourself. Even sometimes resulting in being a good accidental recommendation to you. |
ええ、私はそこにいてそれをやった  |
| Yeah, I noticed that TVTropes removed all references to Lotte so I knew I was in for some quality loli fan-service. |
 It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate". — Bertrand Russell |
| ye just recently with Dr. Stone there is this huge thread about it being unrealistic even though its about science so i checked it out and i find it really enjoyable and the complain of it being unrealistic? lol its not aiming to be a hard science fiction show anyway so who cares |
Ryougine said: What was the complaint? Why did it make you want to watch? Was it a good decision to watch the show? Absolutely. In general when I see something get a ton of hate I instinctively want to defend it. Pretty much anytime I see someone complain about lolis in an anime I will add it to my PTW. Also when people complain about stuff being too "slow" or "weird" because I like slow-paced weird stuff. Specific examples? 1. Eromanga Sensei. I quite liked it but my score has gone down from 8 to 6 over time. I watched it early on in my anime watching journey and seeing tabboo romance portrayed in that way was really mind-blowing at first. I thought it was deliciously weird and sexy and funny in just the right proportions. But it didn't stick in the memory so much and the more I've been exposed to other tabboo ecchi stuff, the more I see the flaws in EMS because I notice how it could have been done so much better. Still love the art and character designs and the animation is great in places. 2. Goblin Slayer. The SJW hate towards it probably made me like it more than I otherwise would have. I notice the reverse reaction from the general anime community though. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two anime to attract the most SJW ire in the past year (GS and Shield Hero) get a lot of shit for what seem like kind of bullshit reasons. Anime tends to attract people from both "sides" of the culture war and thus an SJW hate brigade can really fuck up the community perception of an anime. 3. Shitcom. Less said the better about this one the better. |

| That's what usually causes curiosity if its such a big deal. |
ええ、私はそこにいてそれをやった |
| some guy literally said Ishitateso said: in a diff thread and now I wanna watch this show bcz it has cute cats.And why not an Aria character? I actually hated Maa, Alice's cat, because of both his compulsive biting habits and character design. And since I have never seen anybody bitching about him I t think he is underhated. |
| My own complaining about the harem genre, and @Imaishi calling me out on my "Fuck harems" bullshit, convinced me to watch at least one episode of Highschool DxD, and there's actually something there aside from big anime titties, which kind of ironically doesn't peak my interests anymore since I strictly watched Western Wolves for the story, but I digress. |
 |
| OreImo and Eromanga Sensei. I wanted to see what the fuzz was all about, and I hated it. |
  【🇳🇪🇼 🇵🇷🇴🇫🇮🇱🇪 🇩🇪🇸🇮🇬🇳】 I accept all friend requests! - Feel free to add me! |
| Conception and Eromanga-sensei, and I liked them equally. |
