Johan said: Gingko said: Miyazaki and Shinkai are different kinds of storytellers, its not right to say that one is better than another. Kimi no na Wa is a great movie, as Chihiro, Mononoke and Nausicaa. If you want to insult someone then pls insult the user, not the little old man Miyazaki. No disrespect to Miyazaki - he has 4 films in my top 10 all time (Spirited Away, Mononoke, Totoro, and Howl's moving castle) But I do believe Kimi no na wa was better than any of them individually. Visually? Of course, but in the other aspects... I mean the plot of Kimi no na wa is very well structured, but I dont think Spirited Away is worse. Creativity is out of the question, Shinkai has better films if we talk about creativity, I´m not even sure if Kimi no na wa is his best film... You may say that you like Kimi no na wa much more than Miyazaki filmography, but its all about taste. |

HopefulNihilist said: One Punch Man I still don't exactly understand why people like OPM so much. Aside from Saitama. the cyborg, and the guy on the bicycle, all the characters are unlikable. People say Re: Zero has no sense of direction to its story, but OPM is far worse in this department. There is no clear plot or a sense of direction to where the story's going, stuff just...happens. Fullmetal Alchemist (including Brotherhood) I really like this series, and I think it's really good, but I don't exactly understand what's special about it, aside from the concept of alchemy. The way FMA is structured and progresses, overall just feels very...conventional. Like sure, My Hero Academia is also conventional, but it had that "spark" of being an underdog story with superheroes. Colorful I hated this movie. It's just boring, in how it shoves its themes in your face, without actually exploring them in depth. Sword Art Online I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I don't understand how this series remained popular after the 1st arc. I can't believe you're still typing in the forums. I maybe i should stop beating the dead horse that is your MAL reputation |

| First Let me Beat the Dead Horse a Bit more: -Darling in the FranXX -Akame Ga Kill -Sword Art Online -Dragon Ball Super (Even GT was better) -Tate no Yuusha -Tokyo Ghoul after S1 Now let's get to the Real Hot Takes: Fuuka You might be saying "Fuuka isn't popular though". Let me take you back to Winter 2017. In a lot of Anime Circles I frequented back then , mostly Latin American ones on Facebook, Fuuka was fairly popular as a Anime that had potential. Mostly to meme but potential none the less. At the start I really liked it but I guess that it is because I had just come out of a BIG hiatus and my taste was Kinda shit. The anime had a break between 2 episodes and I decided to read the manga. That is when I realized how shit the Anime was. Mostly after They changed a Mayor plot point. Maybe if they hadn't deleted Truck Kun from the show It would've been at least decent since it would be accurate. That part was the best one because of the Character development it caused honestly. It was Momentarily popular but not tha many people remember it anymore. Quite deserved Honeslty. Another This one I think I never really liked. When I started watching Anime I liked this just because of the edgyness and the Gore but now that I think about it that was the only reason anyone liked it thiinking it made them unique. It is just an Anime version of Final Destination which a ton of people loved even though they didn't like the real thing. Thats is mostly what I don't understand There have to be others but these are the ones I remember right now Probably because I put the rest In the Beating up Joergen... I Mean "Beating up a Dead Horse" Category. |

Maybe that says something more about you guys being condescending, rude, people than about me. Gingko said: I know its unbelieveble, but I think the only reason is that a lot of people love the characters, I mean..yeah.,. that characters... But that's the thing: aside from Kirito for being a self-insert, and maybe Asuna for being generic waifu-material, and Shion for actually having development, I don't understand which characters in SAO people cared for. Bro your arguments are literally autistic. I promise no-one likes Kirito as an insert character or Asuna for being a waifu. I've shut down dozens of SAO threads in the past- and you just want to come in here with your recycled talking points, adding absolutely nothing to the conversation |

| for me its rezero, bc the main character is the biggest idiot ever, i dropped it at episode 8 or smth when he jumped off the cliff because it appears to me he cant learn from his mistakes, after dying idk how many times ur still getting nowhere my friend told me later on he figured out dying isnt the answer, but AFTER HOW MANY EPISODES!! >.< |

| Popular thing is most likely a mediocre thing, so it never really surprised me why an "average" show became popular.. But at the same time there are also other group of people who can appreciate, say, a real good anime, so it is also not a surprising thing when a good anime becomes popular, but by different group of people ... |

| Highschool DxD It's because demons are cool? Becauise that's the only explanation. The fanservice is so mamocentric and stupid with the chest focus becoming so ridiculous the franchise is its own parody at this point, and the less said from the Arceus-awful main character the better. Meanwhile Ikkitousen and Queen's Blade get no respect, most likely because they lack a male character who wants to bang every girl. Sad. Keijo Only in the West, for Japanese are smart and didn't like the show. Mostly the issue comes from people missing the point and thinking it's a great ass fanservice show. It's not. It's about asses being weapons and getting treated as nothing else. Even the reveal of Nozomi's ass being big comes as her having to train more. Meanwhile when it comes to sex appeal the show, like every single goddamned fanservice anime, worships oversized breasts and hates flat chests. Such a great ass show! Prison School Besides the show being about as funny as getting a vasesctomy people bring it up way too much to praise the scene where a guy praises asses. Except actually the guy is fooling a real ass fan into supporting them and thinking of breasts the whole time. So it's not a show that praises asses, but as show that mocks ass fans instead. Context is hard. Ore no Love Comedy something or the other The main character is awful beyond woirds, but he's the most popular part of the show. I guess the average viewer of this show is about 13 and likes cringey teenagers, because an adult would want to slap the taste off this whiny kid's mouth instead. Clannad After Story Nagisa is boring and she's the center of the show. Yay. Smile/DokiDoki/GoPri/KiraKira/Hugtto PreCure Are... Are PreCure fans selfdestructive? Smile isn't as bad but it sowed the seeds for the issues the other four all have. Formulaic, bad plots, awful unbalanced casts, bland fights, dumb mascots, and many more. And yet Maho which was amazing is meet with meganger. Sad. Aikatsu Stars For some reason Western fans like this season far better than the others. They must be all Yume fanboys who hate Ako even more the writers did, because otherwise this horribly biased and unbalanced season would get the disdain it rightfully deserves. |
| Yes monster it was the most boring anime that I watched. Art style was bland it doesn't even look like anime. Character were one dimensional DR Tenama in particular was boring just a goody two shoes guy best episodes were those that he wasn't around and Johan was nothing but plot device although that monster tale was kinda cool I have to admit. And don't even start me on weeb detective and how dumb the ending is since nothing is resolved and everything is back at the square one. |

| Well since Attack on Titan is already said, I would have to go with Gintama and Fullmetal Alchemist. For Gintama, slapstick was all fine but Gintoki doing something stupid, Kagura saying something obscene and Shinpachi screaming at them at the top of his lungs got old really fast for me. Surprisingly I watched the entire thing till the end of the arc where the immortal guy falls into earth's own energy to commit suicide in admiration of the enemies fighting spirit. Very convenient since Gintoki cant best even a one eyed friend on direct combat, let alone Yato or an immortal human. Fullmetal Alchemist was a great concept to me but basically it felt like Saiyuki Reloaded. They are on a quest that goes on and on while encountering enemies. Couldnt find much appeal from that as well |

| Probably grand blue fantasy. Its american pie, but awful. |
| :v |
| Honestly it surprises me how Noragami is at like #15 in popularity, personality I don't really care for it, but I never really see anyone talk about Noragami in anime servers or just anywhere tbh. I hardly see anything about it at all so it's weird going through the popular list and remembering oh yeah Noragami was an anime. |
| All I'm gathering from this thread is that people have difference preferences. There will never be a 100% consensus on what's deserves to be overrated and what doesn't. At the end of the day, enjoy wtf you want and move on. |
| i could say something like Tokyo Ghoul but i understand that theres tons of people who are cool with a lack of substance because they like edgy masks that much I could say Hellsing/drifters But i understand that apparently a Creepy Smile is enough for people to think a show is amazing. i guess what im trying to say is, the majority of people always have nebulous reasons for why they like stuff |
| https://combosmooth.itch.io/ - I make free-to-play browser games for PC and I sell pixel art animation here |
| Fairy tale: I don't understand why this anime populari,story is not interesting and boring, I watched 100 episode but I don't want continue. |
 |
| I never think like that, because I still can see the appeal in any show, even if it's not for my tastes.. You still can find that maybe some things like this and that were to some tastes.. Like, I didn't like Kimi no Na wa, but I understand that some people could enjoy it for art.. Or I'm not that big of SnK, found it quite not to my taste, but can imagine that some people just found story and characters to be more likeable to them, than I found it.. Or same with action - some just could find it more thrilling.. Anyway, if you ever really wonder, what other people could like in anime - just listen to them, you'll find them calling some scenes funny, cool, sexy, or something else.. And about what becomes popular really.. Don't know, what becomes popular, to be honest.. If everyone knew, anime companies would make popular stuff all the time, but that's not the case.. But in the end as a result - yeah - bigger chance that people more likely will watch popular anime.. Like I did with Kimi no Na wa or SnK, instead of watching some anime like them that are less popular.. Sometimes, stuff is just popular, and just because of that it'll become even more popular, often regardless of whether it's really that good or something, people will still be likely to try it.. |

Man If I had a dollar for everytime i heard this fallacy i'd never have to work another day in my life. The problem with your entire response is that.... You never once gave your opinion on what you personally liked or disliked. YOU said and I quote "[They] have too many annoying, bad things to drag them down, I'm surprised don't bother more people and they are hyped up by their respective fanbases as some kind of second coming." THAT is your quote. This is not you saying you liked or disliked something, this is you attacking their quality and fanbase. So let me and my 10+ years and nearly 3000 completed anime educate you. Yes Kimi no na Wa and Koe no Katachi LITERALLY are the 2nd coming. The 2nd coming of Miyazaki. They each came out in August 2016- about 4 years from Miyazaki's last film (The Wind Rises) and I personally have wrote about how the visual, artistic, and creative quality of those films have transitioned us from the Miyazaki era to the Modern era. Your claim is that there is annoying or bad things in these films - or specifically shinkai films which I have no clue what you're talking about. IF you expanded on that, I would be more than glad and able to repudiate all your points- as I have done multiple times in the past. Thanks for playing, Johan / Jimmykudo3000 |
