You know, I love Bleach. I like the power system, most of the cast, Shinigami squads and Urahara. But I like to pretend that Fullbringer arc never existed. Have you ever felt that way?

The Green Island arc is the only thing preventing me from giving Hunter x Hunter a 10. Most of it is pretty mediocre.

The lizard village arc from Overlord. World building is often a plus, but I feel like it dragged on for too long as it personally didn't interest me too much.

One Piece. Dressrosa. Now I'm speaking of the anime here not the manga. Firstly, animation was shit through most of this arc, and then Rebbecca the boob warrior Gladiator. Jesus Toei lay off the fuckin fanservice. And last but not least the shittu pacing was so bad they adapted ONE page for 3 episodes like wtf Toei? It had a couple good moments, but overall it was boring as shit.

Do those couple of Mao episodes from Geass count as an arc? Those were absolutely terrible.

Other than that, the first arc of Boogiepop 2019 was unbelievably butchered. Quite a shame, since the rest of the show was extremely good.

The 2nd One Piece arc with the clown is awful and as someone above me said the Lizard arc in Overlord. Not so much because it was bad but because it was way too long.

EDIT: Didn't realize the title said 'anime you loved' I hated One Piece so ignore that part ( Ν‘° ΝœΚ– Ν‘°)

well, i guess they're making up for it with the quality of the current arc
they've put a shit ton of money on animating wano and making it one of the best looking arcs the anime has to offer

One of the most infamous examples--the African Island arc of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.

That show would be a near-flawless classic if not for those episodes.

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.

Silent Party Arc from Railgun S. It was also non-canon! Karen Bee Arc, Tsukihi Phoenix Arc, Shinobu Mail Arc from the Monogatari series... They just aren't as engaging as the rest of the amazing story.

I hesitate to say I didn't like it as I just don't like it as much as the rest of the franchise, Stardust Crusaders from Jojo. I actually liked part 1 better, despite the fact that I love how Stardust Crusaders introduced Stands they were very boring, and as much as I love how goofy of a character Dio is, he's not written well, and I can't look back on him with any kind of fondness after we get so many amazing villains starting from part 4. During my Jojo rewatches I always skip part 3. I love Jotaro's design to death, I think appearance-wise he is the best Jojo, but personality-wise I think he's the most boring with all the other Jojos considered boring having something that redeems themselves in my eyes.

Hunter Exam in Hunter x Hunter. It was the worst arc in my opinion but it still is okay
Most of the second half of Death Note when near appeared.
Some fights in Hajime No Ippo. Like Ippo was Gero-Michi
One of the Higurashi arcs in the first season.
The first arcs of DBS
Lizard man arc in Overlord.
Punk Hazard in One Piece


Most of these aren't probably arcs but I still didn't like them that much.

Endless Eight & The Adventures of Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya. Dislike is an understatement. Tsukimonogatari is the only monogatari arc that I honestly can't recall what happened & I don't particularly like it as much as the others.

Green island from hunterxhunter. I gave it a 10 because i pretended it didnt exist lol. I would say the bount arc from bleach but again for me it doesnt exist. fishman arc from one piece and silent party from a scientific railgun s. i would also say the whole season 4 of mha because the quality of the seasons went up every season until season 3 but then they couldnt top it off.

Same, but I would have stopped with the powerspikes right about the Hueco Mundo-Arc, personally. Kinda loses it's splendor, when it's always some kind of final-final-thistimeforreal-final-form, that wins the day.

But to each their own.

For me it was the last Arc of the Soul Eater Anime. That shit stank to high heaven. I'd love for them to re-do that one with the proper manga storyline.

The obvious answer for this question is endless eight.

Edit : Everyone says that greed island arc is the worst, but to hell with that, i like the Razor vs Gon dodgeball duel. That's like the best thing in this arc, with hisoka teaming up and almost on the verge of realizing "FRIENDSHIP", it really makes me wonder if Hisoka could've taken a different path and stop being a battle maniac (and a pedophile). The battle with genthru and the gang was decent but it wasn't all that bad at least. And it was worthwhile to see Gon and Killua going through training in this game, imo, at least.

Honestly, the only thing that disappoints me is the fact that not all of the game developer is introduced in this arc.

just when I thought there wouldn't be a disastrous arc that can top bount arc, then came fullbringer arc. Overall I'm devastated after aizen vs ichigo concluded it felt empty. in an attempt to fill the emptiness fullbringer failed to do so.

for dragon ball I skipped buu saga, if I know about it then it mostly came from dragon ball game cutscenes. it's the reason why I don't know who is uub lol.

I guess Greed Island arc like a lot of people here. I watched HxH with a friend and we both were bored by this arc and just wanted it to be over. There were some nice scenes but overall.... nah.
I also didn't like the Daily life arc in Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, it was just plain boring and the comedy was cringe. Tbh I only continued reading because I knew there would be story/action in later chapters.
And I'm not the biggest fan of the Fish-man Island arc in One Piece, idk why but it wasn't that interesting to me.

Greed Island in HxH - Instead of using the good characters in the show (Phantom Troupe, Kurapika, Leorio) we get a forgettable villain and a dodgeball game with Hisoka

Fishman Island in One Piece - Worst Villains ever in OP Hody Jones and his gang, only good thing about this arc is a flashback and some scenes at the ending but that's standart for OP Arcs endings

Shinobu Mail in Owarimonogatari - Only arc in Monogatari that i didn't binge watch, watched all the way to this arc non stop and then stoped for a week after reaching this arc cuz it bored me a little

Ouzen Arc from Made in Abyss, it felt like a waste of time and I wanted them to get back to exploring the abyss.

Yotsugi Doll from Tsukimonogatari, Yotsugi is my least favorite character in the Monogatari series and the arc was pretty boring.

Tatarigoroshi-hen from Higurashi (3rd arc) because child abuse is hard to watch

The pyramid scheme arc and the online gaming arc from Welcome to the NHK because Satou acted like a simpleton in this section

The summer vacation arc from Toradora just because I didn't enjoy it.

The alliance of the golden witch arc from Umineko because Ange's existence made me sad and I kinda hated her attitude until twilight, it just felt like there was a lot of unnecessary information

Oregairu, the arc where hachiman helps Iroha in planning the christmas thing because it felt like nothing happened for like 3 eps and also it felt overly melodramatic.

Hey, once the seven starts arc actually starts I would say it gets good. Atleast I found the sub plot about alchemy and then dueling an old man in a spider robot to be entertaining.

I did not much like Grand Championship arc of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, despite the series having other "filler" arcs that I did like quite a bit (Noah's virtual world, Orichalchos).

I liked the first Haruhi series but avoided the one with the Endless 8 because of what I heard.

Chairman Election Arc (Hunter X Hunter) - Along with the loophole of Alluka's wish granting's limitations being extremely contrived, the time spent on the election itself is made pointless when neither of the two main candidates end up becoming chairman (the winner dropping out immediately for fun).

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is my favourite anime but the last two arcs aren't very good outside the last episode which at least gave a satisfying conclusion. It goes from 87 episodes of god tier storytelling to the last 22 being kinda meh.

Yu Yu Hakusho. The Chapter Black Saga. I didn't like how they told us that Sensui is SO MUCH stronger than Toguro. It felt like Togashi was trying to hard to sell this character to the audience. Other than that I liked the arc, but he somewhat ruined it for me.
