I don't think so.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

I just read the synopsis and if it sounds interesting, I'll watch it. I usually don't care about its popularity.

I have nothing against mainstream anime. For the most part I watch mostly lesser known anime because there's a lot more of them and it even feels weird to me when I'm watching an anime that has a dub that I'm not taking advantage of.

I don't plan on watching One Punch Man this season but that's mostly because I don't find the premise to be all that funny.

I've never avoided a series simply because of its popularity. There's always some other reason.

All the best animes are mainstream. Why the fuck do you think they're mainstream
If all of the best anime are mainstream then why is there an anime in the top ten that only 15,000 members have completed? That's less than how many people have completed Chuu Bra!! or Disgaea and barely anyone ever talks about those. If LoGH isn't considered to be one of the best animes (sic) then what is? Are only the top 8 considered to be the best, or does it even go that far? LoGH is ranked higher than Gintama, Code Geass, and Death Note. I'm pretty sure that popularity does not have a direct correlation with quality.

No, I avoid them, because they got so much episodes, it's going to take shit ton of time lol. And I don't like to spend a lot time on one anime.

What counts as mainstream, OP? I avoid anime like the big three because they're too long but shorter popular anime like K-On, Angel Beats, Tokyo Ghoul, ect. I will watch just to see what the hype is all about.

I'm not even sure what's mainstream.. I should probably start paying more attention to popularity ratings if I want to maintain my hipster street cred.

Naruto, Gintama, One Piece, Code Geass, SAO, Dragon Ball, Fairy Tail, Bleach, Death Note, Attack on Titan etc.

When people say 'mainstream' they mean a 'hit show' right>?

Hit shows are hits for a reason - They're usualy good!

Who would have thought?

But yes, in this back to front world there probably are people who are too snobby to engage in anything as mundane and tedius as a good hit show. Much cooler to wax lyrical about some manga no ones heard of. 100 bownie points for the tardest manga-tard!

Exatcly!
If something is extremely i can popular among all audiences, and well reviewed, it gets called mainstream by the hipsters.
The only example i can remeber of that not being the case is SAO where it was pushed to mainstreamnes by being too overhyped.
