Gilgameshuu said: YossaRedMage said: It's easy to try to take the high road and be a nice guy about taste, saying stuff like "there's no such thing as good or bad taste". It's a nice idea which has some truth to it. But every now and then I'm reminded that there's people who not only think Monogatari is comparable to BGS, which is as laughable as comparing a marvel superhero movie to the Godfather, but they actually think BGS is better than one of anime's true, cast-iron classics. Baffling ignorant. It's like some people are blind to quality. You're joking right? I don't care if it's a classic, an acclaimed masterpiece or the second coming of christ for that matter, if I did not enjoy it I'm not going to act like I did. Not really joking but it was meant to be a little funny the way I put it... Look, it's fine. Like what you like and give your opinion. I could go back and read exactly what you said and maybe I'd find I overreacted or maybe I'd find you were too harsh and should be more modest about the limits of your taste. Coincidentally, I keep my opinion about Mob Psycho 100 (which you're watching according to your sig) very restrained because I recognize the quality and don't want to be a dick to a much and widely loved work (not saying you were being a dick; once again, I could have just overreacted). But I'm not going to do either of those things or even go back and look because I don't care that much. I will say I'm tired of the comparison between BGS and Monogatari. Even disregarding my view on the difference in quality, they're not remotely similar shows. |

YossaRedMage said: Only edgelords enjoy niche work and anything you don't like is bad lol classic MAL shit-tier critique. You're the reason the aggregate scoring system is a joke. Learn how taste works and then don't watch stuff that isn't made for you. Oh, did I hit a nerve? The main question in the thread are about shows you thought you would enjoy but it failed to do so anyways. Did I fail to answer the question properly? So just because I didn't like something and I dropped an honest answer to that equates me to a brainlet who's to blame on how whack the entire MAL scoring system is? Alright, so this means that flinging ad hominems against someone whom you don't agree with makes you a better person then? I stated an honest observation and for one, I won't be saying this if I haven't even gave their titles a chance. For one I expected a thought-provoking series out of Violet Evergarden but it fell flat compared to Eve no Jikan and Ergo Proxy which are titles that used to play on certain tropes that VE tried to use. I also watched Munto and its OVAs due to its somehow unique premise at the time, and while I did end up liking it, it felt like it's gimped enough not to fully show its potential. I also weathered through their mainstreams (don't even get me started with Hyouka, Kyoukai no Kanata, K-On, and Clannad) as they're popular by the time they were aired and due to the mostly positive reception they had. I can give you an elaborate critique per title if you just want to have your pseudo-righteous stance fulfilled if you're just polite enough to ask. For one, I'm not one of the majority who drops something just because they didn't like it as some shows do have a redeeming factor in one way or another, regardless of taste. Whether or not I'll like it by the end of it is completely up to me. After all, it's my time that's wasted, not someone's. Also, Kyoani has a specific audience to cater just like what Gainax was in the 90s, and I am fully aware of that. Kyoani is an otaku favorite, that's for sure. They're mostly targeting the young/teen demographic and constantly plays with mostly SoL, CGDCT, and shonen-oriented tropes while using their own unique visual style in each titles unlike any other studios out there. The only time they went adventurous was when they did Munto and just that. Let's not count Inuyasha in this as it's a Sunrise co-production after all. You can easily spot a Kyoani title in a single glance as on how would you spot a Volkswagen Beetle in traffic. They're also one of the few studios out there alongside MAPPA that tends to carry everything with visual and technical finesse regardless the quality of the idea/material -- hence the polarizing reception on some of their works in a critical sense. They do create good ones, but for sure -- it's really not for everyone just like what I realized from watching their catalogue. Kyoani titles are just like spicy cuisine: has a unique flavor profile but not everyone likes it. PS. I enjoyed Tsukihime and Subete ga F ni Naru. Niche is bad, yes? You said it, not me. |

Nalusa_Falaya said: Bebop. It seemed like a 10 out of 10 perfect anime before I watched it, And even though I still consider it a masterpiece, I didn't enjoy watching it at all. Tried to watch Cowboy Bebop 3 times. Abandoned it half way through on the first and third times because I got a bit bored (I think I didn't find the episodic format very engaging), but really enjoyed it on the second watch, when I actually finished it. I suppose I just have to be in a certain mood, but either way, I thought Samurai Champloo was easier to watch and a bit more engaging, despite having a similar episodic format |
| Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It had all the things that I thought I would like, and of course, the hype around it too. But, it underwhelmed. It just ended up being an okay anime for me, and I think the hype might've been what killed it. |
| It was Lucky Star for me. I kinda expected more with how popular it was, but it was just meh. Kept hearing good things about Aggressive Retsuko, but it was repetitively boring. Goblin Slayers 1st episode was interesting then it fell flat for me |

| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| hmm i'd have to say - Shiki - Inuyashiki - Gokukoku no Brynhildr - Golden Time |
| Gintama. I love comedy and stupid anime puns as well as Samurai themed stuff but somehow I thought Gintama was boring. I stopped watching after 20 episodes. |
| it's genocyber for me. I wanted my cyberpunk gorefest. it turns out it's extremely boring, the cyberpunk part stops after the first episode and it wasn't even worth watching honestly. on paper though this show should've been my wet dream. |

You might find Champloo a little easier to get into - it's still episodic, but an overarching narrative gets established from the start, and it does get resolved, so it still feels like there's a thread running through it. I liked the characters in Bebop, which is what makes me wish most of the episodes weren't as standalone as they are - it would have been nice to see the cast develop with a more linear narrative. Still a really good programme, just one I have to be in the mood for |
Catalano said: YossaRedMage said: Completely agree. I don't know what it was exactly either. There's a few things I picked out while watching it though. Everything was kind of dialed up in terms of pace. The jokes were a lot more "shouty" and there were less intimate, quiet moments between Kaguya and Shirogane. The stuff in the shed doesn't count. I'm talking more like the bit in season 1 where they played "21 questions". There was a subtlety to season 1 which was missing. But that doesn't explain how my enjoyment went from 9-10/10 sort of range to 6/10 range in season 2. I think part of it less focus on the main couple, but still... it's a strange one. now that I think about it I too disliked kaguya s2, maybe because s1 was simple: main girl wants main guy to confess to her, said main guy wants said main girl to confess to him, end of story, who will be the first to confess, who will win the mind games. s2 was more about character development, who were they, emo guy's past, annoying girl's past etc. of course the manga readers loved it because they read all of it, they followed but some anime only people prob got bored. frankly I found ishigami's story bland and I don't care about him, miko or chika. but I am not a fan of kaguya-sama, I am just a casual, of course it works for the manga followers and they love all that character stories. At least you guys finished it then. Boyfriend and I dropped on ep. 11 because we were honestly fed up before already but the massive tone shift in Ishigami's backstory episode just totally flashed it down the toilet for us. Never too late or too early to drop a series when you could not be wasting your time anymore. I didn't like how most of the character development went into some random characters. Yeah, Shirogane got some in actually properly expressing how he feels on some occasions, but it got too watered down by everything else. Overall we were expecting a lot more Chika and Ishigami and just overall the fun atmosphere of joking around and having fun with everybody knowing those two like each other but the two dorks struggling to 'fess up. So yeah on that front S2 was a massive disappointment to us. |

| K-on , I didn't really like it because it was more boring than I thought. I do enjoy slice of life genre but this wans't as enjoyable. |

| Ragnarök The Animation. It just was very boring and one of the characters (Yufa) was really annoying. Also recently watched Aura (movie) which I expected something totally different from. And Humanity Has Declined, but I'll give that another chance by watching the episode in chronological order. |
| ~Where's Gnasty Gnorc? I'll torch him!~ |
| JoJo part 3. Still watchable, but boring 80% of the time. Kono Suba, still don't understand why this anime is considered comedy. Gleipnir. The first and second episodes made a very good impression. From this point on, the show only went downhill. At least we have Clair. |

| For me the most famous one is tengen toppa gurren lagann, When i watch it its so fucking over the top that i find it stupid & silly and i got to the point where character deaths isn't doing to me no more . I still gave it a 7/10 though. |

| Japan sinks 2020 i was expecting some tokyo magnitude 8.0 but what i got were annoying and dumb characters, ugly animation, and... well as a comedy it would work. but so i was so disappointed, i can even describe it. now3 said: The "your name" movie.. this is the first movie where I have to say its overhyped.. maybe its because I didn't understand the plot but it bored me to death yeah"you name" too. it was a nice anime, but not soooo great at all. |

| Overlord I watched all 3 seasons last week and it just wasn’t what I expected based on how everyone always hypes it up. I was also just incredibly confused half the time because they kept giving 0 explanation for some of the things that happened, which made me think I accidentally skipped some episodes, but I didn’t. |

redcrustacean said: I was expecting to love Samurai Champloo based on the premise, art, director etc etc but it never clicked with me. Not sure why! Maybe because the main trio spend so much time bickering? Same. I quit watching it about halfway through. I kind of want to try it again because it doesn’t make any sense to me why I didn’t enjoy it. Also, Oregairu. Absolutely hated it. Along with Re:Zero. |

| Shinsekai Yori had very good worldbuilding but it got very boring sometimes because the plot didn't go anywhere. I also waited a long time to watch Plastic Memories and after I finally got to experience it, it wasn't as sad and impactful as I expexted. But that's probably my fault... |
| I thought Great Teacher Onizuka was going to be something I would love, but it ended up falling flat for me as the jokes were repetitive and the plot threads seemed a bit absurd. |

| Kimi no Na wa. As much as this movie gets placed on a pedastal, I thought I was going to be over the moon happy with it. In the end, I just ended up feeling like it was a very average movie that is extremely overhyped. There are much better. |
CielsEarlGrey said: n7ah said: Your Lie in April Toradora Demon Slayer Nichijou These anime had that missing element to make it great or felt generic Demon slayer is amazing, it gets good at ep like idk 4,5 or further, well, more likely when the fights begin, depends on i you’ve dropped it at some point on which episode you did. If you weren’t far, you should give it a second try It was hard for me to enjoy because of the shounen formula where one kid gets progressively stronger and stronger. I finished it btw. The animation and VA was solid don’t get me wrong but the show just felt like something I’ve already seen in a shounen genre. I couldn’t get a deeper connection w the characters because some felt shallow, storytelling was subpar and the jokes didnt hit most of the time. That being said I still enjoyed it, it’s just those small details that could’ve made Demon Slayer a masterpiece |
