I was forced to sit and watch it with my boyfriend because it's his favorite, and sitting through it was absolute torture. When he died I was thrilled, and then when he came back to life I was devastated LOL.

for me it was how insanely embarrassing he was to all the female characters esp. emillia like I get he was supposed to be a bad character but usually bad characters at least have something redeemable about them! i stg

I would say Neon Genesis Evangelion is the most popular series I disliked and still do dislike the most and I have no real desire to ever revisit it in any capacity, so I won't. I can't stomach either Shinji or Asuka or so many of the choices made with the series that it was just an infuriating experience more than anything.

I have it rated as a 6, but my personal enjoyment level throughout was at about a 3 or less. One of the only series ever, anime or otherwise, to inspire such a visceral negative reaction in me.

And I'm just plain not interested in watching:

- Most battle shounen
- Most high school romcoms
- Most ecchi and/or harem
- Most comedies
- Most sports series which also kind of overlap with long-running battle shounen

I dropped 3-gatsu no Lion, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Psycho Pass, Claymore, Dr. Stone, and Shinsekai yori and felt justified and right.

I absolutely adore and cherish Elfen Lied, Aku no Hana, and Kodomo no Jikan, and consider any and all of the most frequently levied criticisms against them as very narrow-minded and invalid.

I unironically slightly like SAO. It isn't "good" in the technical sense of proper storytelling, but it's really imaginative and is the series that got me into anime. And its production values are gorgeously high. THAT SOUNDTRACK!!!! 😭

ok here it goes
1. everything exept the protagonist atsushi nakajima in bsd is good. atsushi is just plain and cliche and another thing about bungou stray dogs is despite being a seinen is the most shonen anime ever like just make use of your demographic
2.Death note past episode 25 was still good both story and philosophically it says even if evil wins against good it will come down
3.HxH is not that great like 1 the pacing after episode 70-80 i guess just feels like a drag and some people hype battles like netero vs meruem or gon vs catgirl ant wasnt that great to me but still i really loved the yorknew city arc despite the contradicting things later happen
4. i really enjoyed the demon sayer anime and when i read the manga i could say hands off one of the worst manga i ever read but when the mugen train movie came i watched it low expectations but it holds up preety good
5.Rudeus from mushouku tensei maybe a bad character which is whole point of his character but are still better than 99 % of isekai protags we get
6.Steins;Gate: The Movie − Load Region of Déjà Vu is the worst movie i ever seen not only it worsens okabe's characte and kurisu's character as well as contradicting everything it has previously built upon and same goes for the ova and not to mention after further reaserch it says that this movie is actually non-canon well there goes 1h30min of my life possibly 2 hours that i never gonna get back
7.its not a controversial taste but i seen a lot of peoople says it in this forum adn all others people say that this anime is mid or overatted but never explain why
like they want to let you know there opinion but at the same time they are not at the same time

^This. Pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about ReZero...just its my girlfriend who likes it and I couldn't fuckin stand watching it. God Subaru is just so irritating.

Not sure it is a hot take or controversial but I have had some interesting messages directed at me for saying it is worse than that smartphone Isekai.

I cannot get into Gintama to save my fucking life. I just am not into that comedy at all. And I don't hate it or think it's bad but One Piece has kind of lost all my interest. After the timeskip something about it became so bulky to read and watch that it feels like such a chore but I read pre-timeskip probably more than 3 times.

As for likes. I don't think it's hated or anything but I weirdly still have a soft spot for Junjou Romantica. I go back and read it every couple years and exhale like puffing on nicotine. Like I'm getting older AND YET.

-Inferno Cop is the worst anime I have ever seen, I dont know why it has rating of 7.26
-One Piece is not for everyone and I understand why people dont wanna watch it (even if I personally love it)
-I understand why BNHA has so many fans and think its a good starter anime
-Hoshiai no Sora is one of the best anime Ive ever seen
-Fanbase doesnt ruin an anime, if you dont like a certain fanbase, just watch the anime and ignore the rest, no need to be pressed about it
-The Big 3 isnt something you have to watch, especially since its pretty old
-And finally: incest is bad, even in anime (kinda sad that this is controversial)

I think Ufotable's Heaven's Feel trilogy kind of sucks. Heaven's Feel just doesn't work when there is no balance between all of the key characters. HF isn't HF without Kirei, Illya, and Rin in equal focus with Sakura and Shirou. Furthermore, the animation may be good, but the movies are still incredibly ugly to look at. I hate how clumpy the art is, and some of the action scenes are downright obnoxious. In particular, the Saber Alter vs. Berserker fight in Lost Butterfly was just... shockingly bad. I understand that big epic fights are part of what people have come to expect from Fate stuff nowadays, but man, a little bit of subtly will go a long way. An action scene doesn't need to have massive explosives and buildings falling apart to be exciting.

I didn't like Ufotable's UBW anime either, but I also just dislike UBW in general. I honestly prefer the Fate route over UBW. The Fate route suffers from some pretty bad writing, but I still think there's some fun to be had there.

I also did not care for Devilman Crybaby. I loved the animation, OST, extreme violence and nudity, etc. But, the writing just got so silly toward the end. I appreciate what Crybaby tried to do, but I definitely prefer OG Devilman.

As for something I liked that other people dislike, I liked the Yume Nikki manga. People who played the game seem to not care for the manga's interpretation, which is fair. I didn't read the manga as a Yume Nikki manga. I haven't even played the game. I read the Yume Nikki manga as a Hitoshi Tomizawa manga and enjoyed it for that.

My most controversial favorite is that my favorite manga is Nisekoi. EVen though I know it's objectively not the best written, I just love it.

For disliking, tho, I don't like a few really popular shows. Attack on Titan, Angel Beats!, or Yona of the Dawn. I gave all of them a 5 or lower because they were just either poorly done or boring in my opinion.
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.

As my name says, I'm on the quest to watch (and enjoy) every single mecha and sci fi anime ever made that has subs. Also I couldn't give less of a damn about popular shonen, popular romcoms and popular isekai. Or even ratings. Ratings are totally subjective. The fact FMA is even ranked that high doesn't make it anything special to me (and yes I watched it), for example. And if you seethe about a goddamn ranking on some randoass website like some shonenfans do, go back and rethink your life.

I don't like old animation style (before 2000), likely because dull colors don't appeal to me. Garden of Sinners movie 1 is the oldest anime I would call beautiful.
I think overly critical part of anime community undervalues the entertainment factor. I consider an anime good if it's successful at making me excited or hyped.

Whoever wrote that movie really didn't understand time travel mechanics of original S;G. I've spent hours trying to make sense out it, only to realize that it makes absolutely no sense. It was literally the worst experience out of all anime I watched. On top of that, its dialogues were hella pretentious

It went WAAY too fast. The animation was great, and the story was cool but it just went so fast it was hard for me to stay immersed. It should have been 2 movies imo or a 12 episode anime.

I felt the same about Maquia. In a few scenes it feels like there should have been a scene inbetween, which is missing.
Still liked it a lot nonetheless.

-We must recognize SAO is a classic anime, we like it or not.
-Gundam impacted more than DBZ in the anime industry. Every counterargument is pure nostalgia.
-Almost all new gen shounen -MHA, JJK and Demon Slayer- are better than the old gen shounen which they took inspiration.
-FMAB, One Piece and the entire DB franchise are extremely overrated while their fanbase are the worst fanbases i've met. Naruto sucks and Bleach a bit less but those shounen i mentioned before suck more.
-MHA, Demon Slayer and JJK and their fanbases are overhated. People are just jealous. Also those 3 shounen did a lot of good things to the anime community attracting new anime fans.
-Tired of boomers saying everything made in their childhood is the best thing in the world and everything after that is just trash. They blame new anime fans for refusing to watch old anime but in almost all cases, it's boomer fault for scaring them and you don't need to tell them to watch old anime, new anime fans are curious, they're going to watch old anime when they want. Be grateful they aren't stuck in their childhood like you.


Dude, JJK CLEARLY does not deserve the hate, it did so many things right but people hate on it for the sake of hating on a new-gen shounen.
Naruto has a shit ton of problems, a shit ton. Kishimoto really didn't think through a lot of things. It's LOADED with bruh moments of storytelling.
