I mean, I think most anime characters are boring, as most anime characters can easily be perfectly summed up in less than a sentence, and are rarely entertaining to watch.

For me, one of the biggest red flags are characters screaming over very little things. Ie, anime girls screaming at the idea of hold hands.

Redundant and unfitting fanservice, brain-dead protagonist, cheesy drama, and many more.

It would be if the Main Character is too wimpy..
Take Kinoshita (Rent-a-Girlfriend) for instance, I get pissed off a lot whenever he wavers or gets flustered too easily. Maybe its okay if the MC is Girl but an Male MC, having that kind of attitude creeps me out.

It's kind of weird to describe but I find lots of animes with OP's like unravel where the singer sounds high pitch and like they're out of breath tend to be the overly edgy or bad ones (i.g. tokyo ghoul, pyscho-pass, 91 days)

Boring flat main characters,
over used CGI's or totally 3D anime (really hate it)
Useless ecchi placements,
Stupid childish jokes (like in Working!!)

Ah, and the unfinished animes like Btooom!, Deadman Wonderland.

OP protagonists who are one-dimensional, and have a harem that appears out of thin air. I'm looking at you, "In Another World with My Smartphone".
The Metro series Fanatic!

Pompous or overly cocky main character, two people looking eachother in the eyes with sparkles indicating there will probably be a romance. I can usually tell right then whether I'll like the anime or not depending on the peeps. I'm not interested in yuri or yaoi, straight up or bait, at least they make it easy for me this way

But kids on the slope did it and it was great and didn't mean romance so idk depends
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"

"Ridiculous villains"

Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut is a better example and it's worse than Dokyuu Hentai HxEros if it was that bad for you.

I regret watching Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut. It's the 2nd worst anime i've ever watched.


Yes I also didn't like "Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut". But at the very least, it gave me an opurtunity to find out it was boring. By the time I finished it, I had realised, that it was just a boring anime.
"Dokyuu Hentai HxEros" looked visually better, the characters were engaging and the idea was at the start fun. Then I saw the aliens, what they were taking from the innocent earthlings and I felt cheated.
Boring I can withstand, but annoying, frustrating and a parody. No matter how visually appealing it may be, how much potential the character had in developing. The moment I saw the enemy they were fighting, I was so disappointed.

Harem King has a childhood friend who loves him, but lacks courage to confess.
Then, obnoxious and annoying tsundere transfers in.
At this point you know the ending and who is going to win the harem.

But the aliens were moving, if they were just wasting their time just passing by like nothing that would've been so bad. Neverthless I still enjoyed it till the end.

When the camera cuts to a shot of a character's ass in the middle of an otherwise serious conversation (SAO is very guilty of this). Like there's a time and place for that kind of thing and this ain't it.

When the MC sits at the back of the classroom and next to the window.

The MC gets hit by a truck and reincarnates into a new world.

You can tell they are the MC from their hair.

The MC has a tsundere childhood friend.

The MC has a demon inside of them.

There is a tournament, student council, school festival or firework festival arc.
