Mob Psycho and Cowboy Bebop receive very little criticism, while Steins;Gate basically none. People will say it's not their thing, at worst that it's boring

I see Detective Conan was the show of getting the least useless hate and criticism despite it being a popular show.

There are just some anime that no one is allowed to hate, otherwise you'd be an absolute monster. Yuru Camp is a great example. So if you happen to hate it, alright you do you but let me just ask, HOW?? WHY?? HUH???

Like imagine saying: "Wow some cute girls go camping. So garbage."

Gintama°, without a doubt. I checked all the reviews and there is not a single review with an overall rating below 6. Just goes on to show how sequel effect filters out the ones who don't like it and how biased the reviews and scores can get.

I mean criticism doesn't have to be hateful, just look at an anime like Code Geass, a show that I think is universally praised, however it dose have its flaws (Eg: Many people hate Suzaku for his use as an plot device)

You are correct while saying that criticism is not always hateful, but still, there are only 2 reviews out of 67 reviews with a score of 6. 53 reviewers gave it a 10. The amount of criticism is super low.

I believe that this is your new account. Many individuals hate Code Geass here on MAL, it has some major flaws, still enjoyable.

It's not technically anime, but it is very, very close to feeling like an anime. I'd say its structure, characterization, and worldbuilding are closer to anime than western animation.

I've not seen a single person that does not gush about this show. I'd say its probably the one show out there that receives no criticism whatsoever. I cannot think of an anime that is universally loved as much as avatar is. So this is my only answer.

I'd say its a show that actually receives no criticism. You can't criticize it.

I'd probably also add that if a show has an anime art style and is made by westerners, you're going to be hard pressed to find any genuine criticism.

Castlevania, Dota dragons blood, blood of zeus, samurai jack, teen titans, arcane. I've seen more people criticizing FMA or HxH than I have seen people criticizing those shows.

Based on the top 50 from the most popular tab here on MAL, the top 3 I'd personally go with are assassination classroom, mob psycho, and haikyuu.

I would've include one punch man, but I have seen a few very constructive criticisms stating that it was dumb to have an unbeatable protagonist and that that makes it all boring. I pity their poor souls who probably do not understand the concept of fun

I'm guessing it depends on how much praise it gets too. Since with FMAB and HxH they are widely regarded as some of the greatest shounens or even animes to be made. So when that much acclaim and praise it gets people tend to criticize and critique it more to find if it really is that great.

But with OPM and Steins;Gate(I've actually seen some critiques on it tho) they are really popular and great but i dont think they are that much acclaimed or put on such a high pedestal like fmab or hxh, so they dont tend to be criticized that much.

Also answer to the title: Silent Voice, Mob Psycho, JJK, Bebop (maybe), Gurren Lagann
I see lots of criticism for Silent Voice and JJK. People criticize Silent Voice for not adapting its source material properly, because Shoko doesn't have a personality (?) and I've even heard that it promotes bullying (???)
As for JJK, it receives the same kind of criticism as Demon Slayer - bland characters, carried by animation, unoriginality...

i mean they sure do receive a huge amount of criticism, some for no valid reason whatsoever - one of them is "because its too popular so it must appeal to normies, too, ew" which honestly the stupidest shit I've ever heard. but eh i digress.

its probably one piece, the only two main issues or crits i see are about either

1- how massive it is

or
2- how females are portrayed in it.

which is kinda true for both.

One Punch Man

Personally I think this show is more of a cartoon than "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt". Yet people like it, it's weird, same with "Mod Psycho 100", the show looks and feels like the staff that made it either shat it out, or puked it out. Yet criticism is scarce. I can find something to shit about in there shows. I can find something to shit about in Steins gate and JoJo as well. But nobody gets mad at me, because im alone in my crusade.

It's hated by the "all modern anime sucks" crowd.

That's an hilariously convenient way to close your ears and eyes to legit criticism about how A Silent Voice is the story of a retarded girl being taken advantage of by her bully, portrayed as if it was the apex of mature, selfless love by the show. 99% of the movie was generic-ass modern teen romcom, the remaining original 1% was a massive pile of "don't go there OH GOD NO PLEASE DON'T" lol.

Met plenty of people outside the fandom/who watch seasonals who wouldn't touch that movie again even with a 10 feet pole. Actually my 60yo parents watched it, lured in by french critics selling it as "a spiritual successor to Ghibli movies". Needless to say, they were massively disappointed.

Reminds me that my issue with most popular negative criticism for A silent voice is that it appears unnecessarily edgy and sociopathic, and/or comes from a position of not even trying to understand Shoko as a character and then complaining about how she fits a stereotype she actually doesn't.

Are you implying she had an actual personality and doesn't act 8yo? Because that's not what I remember from the movie. Yeah, she's shy because disabled. Yeah, she wants to be accepted. 90 mins of screentime and she's still nothing more than "cute disabled shy waifu". Maybe she has a fav brand of candy or something kawaii like that? I'm not impressed at all.

A silent voice was about as thrilling to watch than those creepy boys love shows that dwell at the bottom of my list. It got bonus points for being pretty U_U

Shoko is not taken advantage by the MC. She is perfectly capable of forming her opinion on him, and falling in love eventually. I don't know why do people consider that when a character who was bullied years ago shows and develops emotions it's because of emotional dependence. Worst thing about this reasoning is that then people use it to call Shoko an object and say she doesn't have a personality.

You can have ethical problems with how this relationship is presented but that's not a reason for disregarding a character portrayal alluding to a supposed lack of agency that then you use anyway to rant on the character.

And that about her relationship with Shouya, because about her relationship with her family and how she fits in I barely see any attempt to even bring it up and it's very key to understand the character and where she comes from. When she stands against her mother's overprotective authority. When her suicidal and self-destructive thoughts are the very reason why her sister acts like she does. Like how the hell can one reduce Shoko to "passive object to generate pity" and not even mention that she's been on the verge of committing suicide several times and that alone has created a distinct environment around her and her family.

If you prove me wrong, just remember that you have wholely accepted that millions of kids are watching something boring and has no plot, STRESS ON THE viewers, KIdS. All the best.
And the last point is that I'm not a critic because everyone's lives are different, so are their tastes.
So at some point, it is acceptable all anime has its haters; none can be specifically called the least criticized by sheer volume as there can be lesser volume but valid heavy criticism for some anime.
Good question though, well done.

Popularity attracts hate. I see people criticizing FMAB for forced comedy, HxH for slow pacing in Chimera Ant arc and many other anime. But I've rarely seen people criticizing One Punch Man (absolutely I am talking about the first season), Steins;Gate and some other few anime. So according to you, which popular anime recieves the least amount of hate and criticism.

I used to criticize One Punch Man all the time when it was new. I find it to be fundamentally bad because of the overpowered MC and being self aware regarding it doesn't make it okay. It's a really bad premise for an anime imo.


imo it's a great premise, although it would be way cooler if he had a curse with which he would win with one punch but also lose in one punch, that's what i thought the series was about but it was completely different, although i enjoyed it a ton
