InsaneLeader13 said: Life is short, feel free drop titles that bore you, and don't watch things that don't interest you. Note that before going into this, I just pulled up my list, sorted by score, and went from bottom to top. Nichijou is actually pretty piss poor for a comedy series. HxH 2011 might be a great shounen, but not everyone should watch it just because. Grave of the Fireflies is a useless film with a hollow 'message', if you could even call it that. the entire point of the work is to just say "War is hell!" while gripping at your heartstrings, all the while ignoring simple logical decisions by the main character that could have (to some extent) improved the end result. Mars of Destruction is only bad because it just does nothing right. Another has nothing going for it besides A) Atmosphere for the first half of the series, and B) A main female character that's interesting when compared to the rest of the cast, but would be forgotten in nearly any other work. Production I.G. was one of the worst studios between the late 90's until the mid-to-late 2000's. FLCL is a piece of garbage. The only decent thing about it was the soundtrack, and even that was badly dated. Orange is a terrible rip-off of Steins;Gate. Mysterious Girlfriend X is one of the worst teases in anime. It promises to deliver something early on, but as it goes on it does less and less before ending with a metaphorical Net-loss for the viewer. Black Rock Shooter's OVA was actually really good...except for the fact that it feels like it's just 60 percent of a movie. Conversely, the Black Rock Shooter TV series is another Madoka-clone...only it's problem is that it doesn't know how to effectively bridge the gap between amazing action and character drama without breaking the characters for no reason whatsoever. The Mirai Nikki Redial finale ruins the ending of the series. Panty & Stocking W/ Garterbelt has a few good moments, but primarily consists of a pointless emulation of the worst of Western Adult Animation. My Neighbor Totoro is a prime example of a children's film that has nothing for adults. It's vapid and has no significant substance for anyone in their mid-to-late teens or older (Besides meme potential. Why hasn't this thing been memed to death yet?) The 'canon' Post-DBZ Dragonball films have been quite mediocre. Kyoukai no Kanata is only remembered for the dance number...and that's basically the only thing of quality it has to offer beyond visuals. Nico is the only good thing to come out of Love Live. Guilty Crown's first half is utter garbage. However, between episodes 14 and 19, a good (not great) story unfolds that make the series worth watching... though the ending is a disappointing End of Evangelion rip-off. Summer Wars was forgettabely average. It either needed to spend less time in the virtual world and focus more on the family, spend more time exploring the virtual world and focus less on the family, or become a multi-part OVA and do both. Sonic X's first two seasons are terrible, with the only exception being the SA1 and SAB2 adaptions. It's third season is pretty good. Not necessarily great, but pretty good. Macross Plus isn't really that great. The characters suck, which is problematic when the dick-measuring contest between the two male leads is the show's 'A' plot while the 'B' plot is extremely interesting and doesn't need interesting characters to stand out, yet it just gets shoved to the side 75 percent of the time. Fate/Stay Night 2006 isn't that far off quality from F/SN UBW...because UBW is only a high 6/10 at best while 2006 is a low 5/10 at worst. Death Parade is terrible, and is one of the last things I'd ever recommend to anyone. Ironically enough, it's starter OVA 'Death Billiards' is actually pretty good. Nisemonogatari is only saved by being the breakout of Shinobu and Kaiki. Without these two being a tour-de-force for the show, Nisemonogatari just spends most of it's time devaluing characters we've already come to care for. The Tatami Galaxy is merely a Slice of Life story set in a college setting, with a 'Crazy twist' thrown into the last two episodes to hammer in the message that it was already bashing the viewers over the heads with. It's only fondly recalled because of it's massive WPM and it's memorable coloring and design choices. If not for these two factors, it would have been long forgotten by now. Claymore is really good for the first 14 episodes. And then it turns bad. My current experiences with the Magna seems to be making a case that this wasn't an adaptation problem, but a problem with the original work. Diebuster is forgettable, sure. But it's not utter garabge. Kuzu no Honkai was amazing because all of the characters are terrible, and because it's conclusion reflects reality in a reasonable way (The 'main character'/'best person' won't always get a good ending, it's usually the worst people that do). On the same note, Kiznaiver is good. If your biggest problem with the work is 'FORCED DRAMA', then you fail to realize that forced drama was the entire point of the work. Kimi no na Wa is fine for a single watch. But the moment you put any thought into it is the moment that entire film begins to fall apart. No Game No Life is the anti-thesis of Mars of Destruction. While MoD is lifeless and tries to be intelligent while failing at it, NGNL is fun while looking stupid, but actually shows alot of cleverness behind its' writing. Attack on Titan doesn't have a good first episode. Or two. Or three. From my perspective, the fact that you basically have to go 6 or 7 episodes before getting anywhere exciting, and nearly half of the season before the real plot starts moving, is a bad thing and keeps it from being something I'd recommend to a new anime fan. HOTD is great because it is what it is...an oversexed action-filled zombie romp. It's only disliked because A) The west is suffering from Zombie-oversaturation (Hey Joe, wanna play a Zombie game?), and B) For some stupid reason, people think fanservice is evil. Seirei no Moribito is god-awfully boring. Revolutionary Girl Utena spends most of its' time spinning it's wheels. It really only gets to shine during the Black Rose Society arc, and the final fourth of the series. With that said, it (and it's film) is a great yuri anime, and should be a must-watch for anyone looking to watch some sweet Girls Love. Cardcaptor Sakura went on for far too long. The entire Ghost in the Shell franchise, sans Stand Alone Complex, is just 'good' at best. It's stupid to put the1995 film on a pedestal like it's the second coming of Anime Jesus, and bash the live action film as it if was the Antichrist. Yeah, Princess Tutu is great...but it's not THAT great. You guys are all forgetting how by-the-numbers the first half of the series is. Both versions of FMA should be watched, because both bring something great to the table. Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS is the best installment in the franchise, not A's. Berserk fans can not be satisfied. If Twilight was adapted into an anime rather then a film series, everyone would be on that shit like it was Gintama. There is NO point in watching series as they air. I'm actually glad that OP made this thread. You ever heard of paragraphs bro??? |

| Toradora - A good show for 12 year old virgins perhaps Angel Beats - Most rushed shit I have seen in my life, might be good if you are new to anime. Fairy Tail - Worst shounen I have seen probably, plot armor is insane, no character development, disappointing villains. Not to mention the last few arcs. Really bad written show. Akashic Records - Most generic shit I have seen, absolutely nothing original about it. Clannad S1 - Don't even get me started on what is wrong with this shit fest. 91 Days - Underrated in my opinion. Serial Experiments Lain - Underrated. Koe No Katachi > Kimi No Na Wa. |

| Before I get to it, I've seen Evangelion. I just removed it and a number of other anime from my list for reasons. Now then. I haven't seen School Days yet, but I know plenty about it. So here's the opinion. School Days is darker than Evangelion. |

| that evangelion sucks elfen lied sucks gantz anime sucks while its manga only half sucks that half of sao is not that bad, especially when you consider that within its genre at that point, there were very few titles and sao was leagues above the others (mostly stuff from .hack franchise). The first part when they're actually playing sword art online is fairly good. It has a world with rules that somewhat make sense, it's pace is pretty good, looks pretty good and they do a decent job with the romance side of things. Alfeim is where everything goes wrong. Throw rules out the window completely and replace any semblance of story telling and tension with asspulls. Also, add 3 tbsp of incest. Gun Gale is not bad again. Though the stakes are much lower, the simplified game and plot brings the story and world back to somewhere respectable. I didn't care about the last arc so its hard to say about that one |

I haven't seen School Days yet, but I know plenty about it. So here's the opinion. School Days is darker than Evangelion. I agree that school days is very dark but why do you think it's darker than Evanglion? 1. What happens in Evangelion isn't permanent. 2. Evangelion is sci-fi, therefore not actually possible. 3. Because of number 2, the circumstances make Shinji unrelatable, but Makoto's temptations are very relatable. 4. Both of Evangelion's endings are happy endings in part because of number 1. 5. Because School Days is also a VN, its alternate tragic endings are also part of the canon. Evangelion presents no tragic endings. See 1 and 4. |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

Agree with second, need example of first. If you say Eren then I'll smack you! :D Can't whine back to cool. Lol I actually like Eren, tho I understand his character isn't flawless. He isn't really the kind of character I was thinking of tho. I think it should go without saying that any kind of character can be done well, but I would say Usopp from One Piece is one example. Same with Shinji Ikari. |

| I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think that the Yorknew City arc of the 1999 version of Hunter x Hunter is better then the 2011 (keep in mind that i'm just talking about this one arc. I'm not ignorant enough to say that 1999 as a whole is better than 2011--that's just not true). Yorknew 1999 just comes across as having a darker/more atmospheric tone (though that's in line with the 90s aesthetic). There are instances of haunting imagery, and the OST is equally dark and brooding. Yorknew itself also feels like a living, breathing city. In the 2011 version, it came off as just a location--just a setpiece that was simply there to be a setting instead of a real place |

A person can only be ignorant in regards to objective facts or statements, like science or maths or factual historical events, not in regards to the subjective assessment/appreciation of artistic productions. There are no right or wrong opinions; just well or bad argued ones. So if it had been the case that you believed that the first version as a whole was better than the second version, that would not have made you "ignorant" at all... And well, in addition to Yorkcity, 99 did better the Hunter exam and Zoldyck family arcs too. 11 did better Heaven's arena and Greed Island; but this of course is only my opinion. |

Was planning to delete it later, but then forgot lol (I'll still leave it up though, since I still feel that way).

| I'm full of unpopular opinions, but here's just two of them; Nagi no Asukara sucks. It sucks a lot. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica and Steins;Gate are just okay, they are simply overrated. |

Bab3s said: LoneWolf said: Look how many avatars on this forum are cute girls and how many cute girl shows airing every season and tell me how that makes sense. About 40-45% of the avatars. I suppose that is a significant number. For the second point, it depends on what one considers a "cute girl show". If something like last season's Eromanga-sensei was a cute girl show in your view, then I will concede that there are a fair number of cute girls shows each season. But I'm not clear on something. By "cute girl show", are you referring to any show in which cute girls are prominent, or are you referring specifically to descendants of Azumanga Daioh: those do-nothing nichijou-kei comedy shows where men don't exist and it's all about a bunch of [usually] little girls having a good-ass time? Because there are maybe 2-3 of those kinds of shows each season, and they usually aren't near the top of the popularity list. New Game is one of the more successful shows from this genre in recent memory, and even that was 7th in popularity in Summer 2016. Its score of 7.77 puts it just barely in the top 1000, a decent if also unremarkable standing. In general, there is a lack of cute girl shows among the highest scoring anime of all time. On further thought, it has occurred to me that maybe it isn't unpopular isn't to like/tolerate cute girl shows. What is definitely unpopular though is to view them as high art comparable in value to beloved classics like Gintama, FMA Brotherhood, or any Hayao Miyazaki movie. You obviously haven't spoke out against cute girl shows before, because you don't realize how bad the backlash is. Perhaps it is just a vocal minority, but trust me people really like their cute girl shows and waifus and what not. I don't think the fans even view them as "high" art, but they sure as hell like them and in a way many shows incorporate "cute girls", but I would say any show that has the girls as the focus then a male MC or sometimes there is no male MC at all. |
