Not that I didn't love it per se, but just that I never really understood the hype or praise Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood always got.

I watched the anime back in 2015, finished it, and remember thinking to myself, "That's it? That's one of the best animes everyone is always recommending?" It just felt very underwhelming to me is all. Besides Envy and Pride, all the other sins hardly did much for me. Most of the characters didn't even leave a memorable lasting impression either. I can go on and on.

There's not to mention how aggressive the fanbase is. They always praise it for the sake of praising it, and bring any other anime down that dares to usurp its "throne." It always left a bad taste in my mouth seeing that. To me, that anime will always be the most overrated anime, and the result of what hardcore bandwagoning can do. It isn't the only instance where you see that, but it is one of the most prevalent and reoccurring.

Fell asleep watching AoT and all the battle-shounen nowadays~

Because my taste changes a lot when I reach 17-18 years old. I went from a action maniac to a sci-fi / dark-fantasy fan.

Steins;Gate 0 seems rather popular going by score. I found it to be an extreme disappointment in comparison to the phenomenal first season (though I guess technically this isn't "season 2"), it's just too boring and lifeless.

Sangatsu no Lion, always heard how good it is n all that and it turned out to be pretty mediocre when I watched it. Not necessarily bad, just not good either

Demon slayer, there's nothing about it that I like..
the story is below average, a grade schooler can come up with a story like that in 2 mins..
It also has the worst characters personalities I've even seen, the jokes are the worst..
I don't know how someone can find those jokes to be funny..

The author have psychic powers of mind control to brainwash people is the only explanation..

Rainbow, sad scenes and narrative plot are poorly written and executed in my opinion. i felt like the author was begging for my tear while watching the show. I have no problem with sad stories, I like them, but all the inconsistency of this show made me uncomfortable.

For me it's probably Noragami. I watched it a few years ago because people were raving about it but it just didn't blow my socks off as I expected. I think it's an okay anime... not terrible but not great either. Who knows tho, maybe the manga is better.

"Maison Ikkoku." It remains the worst anime that I've ever seen, and I'll never understand why so many people like it. The same goes with "Urusei Yatsura." I haven't seen the UY remake, and I don't want to.

For me it's the recent anime Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!

The MC is just edgy cringe boy that let himself hit by truck, get isekai then gain magic power because he want to get more power, I hate it. But somehow this anime get everyone love with cringe MC anime like how, HOW?

Trust me bro, the anime ruined the MC. In the manga and light novel, he's depicted in an extremely ironic and comedic light, but the anime decided to rip out all the comedy from his character.

I normally try to stay away from these threads but I really don't understand how No Game No Life is so popular. I've tried at least three times to start watching it and I always get bored and annoyed by it. The fanservice is obnoxious and overused in a way that's clearly supposed to be comedic but is in no way remotely amusing, and even beyond that it's just not an entertaining show. The only positive thing I can say about it is that the art it gorgeous and I love how colorful it is

I don't hate it but I don't love it either. It looked nice and everything but my main problem was that it had too many flashbacks and cared too much about the story in the past and I absolutely didn't. The movie was also bad but the specials were nice though.

Again didn't hate it but didn't love it either. It's just K on but the girls go to Antarctica. I started nicely but got boring towards the end. It was longer than it needed to be.

anime is not complete ik but movie ansers every unanswered quesiton and its so good imo

Toradora
Jaku-chara
3D Kanojo Real Girl
Nagatoro
No idea if anyone praises it or not but Plastic Memories
Oni ChiChi - it's just alright, kind of a bit much really to watch compared to other Hentai.

All fine anime I just couldn't get into but finished all but Nagatoro.

Toradora. Ep1-11 enjoyed it, the drama and changes in 12 to the end was confusing and not that enjoyable. I finished it but didn't enjoy it even on rewatches I end it at Ep11. I've seen many anime now with drama than I had back then and some now I could take, others I painfully sat through (Jaku-chara and 3D Kanojo Real Girl both seasons, couldn't take them in sub, sat through not as but still just as painfully through in dub).

Nagatoro, fine anime, not as engaging or a bit too much over what Takagi offered. Takagi I could sit through even if it is more repetitive and still teasing the extent was different. Sure it's still teasing but to me most of the characters weren't as engaging, the situations were just very boring and otherwise I get what they were going for but eh, it kept going on and on and even Nagatoro herself wasn't really that interesting to watch for let alone any side characters I'm having to look for side characters in some shows just to care and there wasn't any then from what I remember. Gave it 5 episodes I think and just gave up.

Plastic Memories, 5 episodes in was good (even if episode 2 was eh but the rest of the series was just another episode 2, how can you have that many writers and still make it like it's episode 2 right after the best it got was episode 4-5 for aspects of the show. I'm fine with romance but nothing worthy happens that the androids going rogue or the day to day was more interesting then trying to get with an android in the most boring ways possible then if that question was asked in other shows and properly. Unlike other shows where I go 'ok get through the nonsense to get to the better stuff, it did the reverse of get the good stuff out of the way and make way for the nonsense which for an original show isn't a good thing to make it 'stand out' from non-original works what a waste).

Not a hate thread. A place to have a civilized conversation about anime that are loved and popular but you didn’t enjoy. If you want to shitpost in peace then make your own thread. Please be respectful and civil in this and I don’t think that’s such hard ask or unreasonable.

Yuri on Ice is one. It's pandering fujoshi BL bait. Animation and soundtrack are great and it would've faired so much better if it wasn't obvious what niche demographic it was pandering to.

Serial Experiments Lain is another. While I don't 'hate' it, it is just such a slog to sit through because it's boring and tries way to hard to get its point across.

Fullmetal Alchemist is perhaps my biggest dislike. Now I've not seen any FMA so take my opinion at face value, but I honestly just do not undertsand how it is considered the most perfect anime, being the most highly consistent rated show on MAL and is just universally beloved by everyone. I have no desire to sit through it.

It's the Monogatari series for me. Maybe because it's SHAFT, maybe just the storyline and characters that I can't find neither interesting nor attractive. I never understood the hype.

Did you read the entire conversation between me and them? If not then I suggest going back see the entire exchange. Now maybe I was whining about two characters from a parody anime but not once did I use hateful or insulting language to do so. I didn’t hate on the fans of the show or saying anything that would be considered demeaning or insulting about the characters and the fanbase. I was civilized and respectful where as that person was demeaning and insulting with how they expressed their displeasure of a show and it’s character. Now if you don’t have anything useful to contribute to this conversation then just leave it alone.
