What are some hot takes that you have about anime? Hot takes that make you seem like you're in the minority?

You can also make some hot takes about my ratings if you'd like as well ;>, would like to see what everybody says 0.0

I don't really think Sakura is useless, if she's alive to this point and has lived and fought through all those big wars, i think she's pretty strong. i am not just saying this because she is my waifu, if i had to choose a naruto waifu i'd choose tsunade.

I mean, I would say she was so utterly useless in og naruto it's unbelievable, but I'm currently 30 episodes into shippuden and she's improved.

one piece being too long is a valid excuse for not watching it, since some people like me have problems with commitment and some people might be too busy to watch a serie with 900+ episodes, fyodor dostoevsky is an underrated villain, but that prbably comes from bungo stray dogs not being popular enough for him to be noticed, record of ragnarock's first fight lacked everything needed to make a fight entertaining and ti started to become entertaining when adam was itnroduced.

Mob psycho 100
Mononoke
Kimi no na wa

Regarding manga/manhwa I think that "The Horizon", "Uzumaki", "Blue period" and "Blue lock" are awfully overrated, shitty and pretentious.

@Thefuad21 yeah. You have literally all of the mentioned anime in your favs and so, it is only natural for you to get extremely pissed off

Rascal does not dream of Bunny girl senpai is just PLAIN INFERIOR to the Monogatari series.

The only thing they say to defend is "Both are different". To some extent they are correct. But ultimately, Monogatari has more talking but it manages to stay more interesting because of its fantastic characters.

Absolute hot take below,

Mai Sakurajima seems like a multi-dere type but fails at that and makes her look like a knock-off Senjougahara. But regardless, she is better than most waifu and only below the monogatari girls so I give her props for that.

EDIT: I am STOOOOPID. This is an extremely popular opinion. Glad to know most MAL users have good taste.

To some extent, it's overrated but most of them are also overrated. So it's not really a problem.

But spamming overrated towards a shounen is bs because shounen is bound to get overrated because of its wide fanbase.

Wait. Bunny girl senpai has almost the same rating as Bakemonogatari and mai has nearly the same no of favs as shinobu. So I thought this is unpopular.

Haha get ready for a long ass list of hot takes ladies and gentlemen. Sorry if I trigger anyone.

1. Death note is actually mid and fails at almost everything it does

2. Your lie in april isn't sad and is just melodramatic.

3. Tokyo ghoul Root A can be enjoyed if you've read the manga.

4. Winter season was just more flashy, but the spring season was overall better.

5. Akame ga kill isn't actually that bad and can be enjoyed if you turn your brain off to it.

6. People are overreacting with the original Fate/stay night and only dislike it because of animation and the VN readers, but other than that F/SN is pretty damn good.

7. Fate/zero is only considered better than F/SN because it has adults fighting, even though F/SN is deeper and has better written characters.

8. Ghibli is overrated as fuck and Spirited away is mid.

9. "Old is gold" only exists because people praise anything that came out 20+ years ago even if its bad.

10. Your name is a basic disney plot that doesn't work.

11. Re:zero fell off hard in season 2 and season 2 part 2.

12. You cannot call any anime overrated until you get to the point in which people called it good for. *Cough* *cough* Steins;gate and AOT.

13. Wonder egg failed at being deep and turned into a magical girl anime in which suicide is created by a robot. Im still sad cloverworks fucked the ending lmao.

Well thats all there is.

It is an opinion in which majority wont agree with and/or is rare to see.

Hmmmm, let's see -
Hunter x Hunter is just another typical battle shonen. If JJK and Demon Slayer get hate for being generic, so should Hunter x Hunter.
Death Note and AOT are good shows, but definitely not masterpieces.
Re:Zero is just as bland as any other isekai. It tries too hard to make itself seem different from any other show of the same genre, and fails miserably.
Kara no Kyoukai 7 is the worst movie of the franchise. All the arguments and ideas that were established in the first 6 movies were conveniently dismissed just to have a happy ending.
The Tatami Galaxy isn't as deep as people make it out to be. It's pretty easy to see what the message it's trying to convey is, and most of the episodes are very repetitive.

I mainly meant to counter the "Violet Evergarden boring" hot take, which is always present in this kind of threads. I know that the majority likes it, given its score, but I don't think that the majority would consider it much more engaging than a good action-packed show.

Agree. Kaguya-sama is good but not as good people claim it is. At least on the anime, there isn't any type of romance development, it's just pure comedy. Also Chika is the one that makes the show funny. Kaguya, Hayasaka and Ishigami are overrated.
(I've heard very good things from the manga, but people really think that the ANIME is the best romance where there is not any romance development. Oregairu and Fruits Basket are the best romance anime out there.)

Death note tries to be a mystery, but it literally can't because the plot itself makes it fail to be one. We already know Light is the murderer so the only thing we are trying to find out is how L will figure it out.

Maybe saying "fails at almost everything it does" was a bit harsh, but I still do believe its mid.

Misa ruins the WHOLE anime. She is literally just a Light simp and is boring at that too. The first 11 episodes are worth an 8, maybe a 9? But after Misa gets introduced holy shit I was on the verge of dropping it. Death note just feelsl ike an endless cat and mouse chase with basically the same shit going on every fucking episode.

Obviously, these are all subjective complaints. But my entire wall of hot takes are subjective anyways.

1. I thought FMAB was really good. But I don't consider it the best shounen of all time. I think it's just a story is just easy to swallow for some people.
2. Bleach is good but not great. I think the first 27 episodes were pretty slow. The only highlight for me so far was the Soul Society arc.
3. I think the story of AOT is really good. But the only thing that prevents it from being great for me is the heavy focus on tragedy.

That's basically where the mystery lies in the show. Yeah, we all know that is Light the murderer. But the suspense lies in how each of them will out maneuver each other until one eliminates the other. We also learn new things about the Death Note as Light uses it to get an advantage over Ryuzaki. It wouldn't be much of a mystery series if Light got caught easily without some method of strategizing.

Golden Wind is the worst season of JJBA (it's still REALLY good though)

Madoka Magica is bad

Isekai sucks but it's still way better than ecchi and hentai

Everyone who reads Touhou hentai doujins should just play the official games/read the official manga already. Touhou hentai isn't even good, lol

Pop Team Epic is the most unfunny piece of media ever created

There's no such thing as "bad taste"

Every anime is a cartoon, but not every cartoon is anime
Although every Japanese cartoon certainly is. Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~ should be on MAL's database. Change my mind

My Hero Academia is above-average. Not fantastic, but far from terrible

You can't "objectively" rate anything, including anime. If such a thing were possible, everyone's score for any given series would be the exact same as everyone else's. That's what "objectivity" means, lol

The only thing that matters in an anime is if the writing is good. Animation, voice acting, direction, etc are meaningless

Beyond the Boundary has the least likeable cast of any anime. I hated every single character with a burning passion

Light Yagami is better than L. Near isn't as good as L but he's still a great character

Dubs are just as good as subs, and have been for about 20 years now. The one exception to this is Funimation

Recommending Boku no Pico to unknowing people is actually pretty malicious, TBH
