You lie in April and Anohana. Both are boring and too melodramatic. I didn't even cry or anything. I was just yawning LOL.

For me it's unfortunately: Monster
Heard so much praise for it but even after watching 8 episodes I still didn't see where all of that praise was coming from, I found it rather uneventful and boring.
And since 8 episodes is basically 2/3 of an entire season for a lot/most anime nowadays, I decided to drop it at that point.

Quite the disappointing experience, since I was really looking forward to it.

Kaguya-sama. The comedy is overreacting, especially the characters.
86. I don't know how the heck this anime is so good as they said but it was plain boring. I found SukaSuka much better than 86.

when I watched it for the first time I loved it! although that might be because I was still in my early stages of watching anime and was binging any romance I could find.

I don't know about boring but I personally found Maid-sama very mediocre (it has a score of 8.03 and i gave it a 6/10). It was 2 or 3 episodes of actual romance and the rest filler episodes, although some of those were quite funny, particularly when they involved the moron trio.

I also dropped Toradora on the first watch (about ep 4 or 5 iirc) but when i picked it back up for a xmas r/anime watch i quite enjoyed it, scoring it an 8/10. Same with Gurren Lagan, i found first few eps put me off, but again picked it back up as part of an r/anime watch and really enjoyed it.

Maybe it's the pacing i didn't like and that's why i enjoyed them as part of a group watch, as one episode per day is slow but steady, plus you have other people to discuss the show with during a group watch.

Tensura - Gosh it could have been nice isekai if story was more focused on some conflicts or at least character wasnt OP. Instead we have uncreative dialogues. Bad story progress in fantasy world.

I understand being confused or disoriented, but FLCL is almost nonstop action and character. And it's got half the episodes of a regular anime. It's basically designed to be enjoyed by kids with ADHD. How did you find it boring?

Oh forgive me, I should have said, I was uninterested while I was watching it. It was a bit confusing and all over the place, which is why I lost interest, the soundtrack banged though.

Konosuba, all of the seasons and most of the movie. First 2-3 eps were pretty funny but after that it started repeating the same jokes again and again. Then it was just boring.

Imma tune in here to just point out that Rimuru is really lacking a strong character. He is incredibly generic. A chill guy who wants to help the people around him and level up in civilisation pretty much covers the entire extent of his personality. Rimuru is sorely lacking in many, many metrics of character development. Once we pass the introduction, name one time in the anime where Rimuru has been challenged as a character in any measure other than strength or intelligence.

Slime is 100% held up by the politics and convoluted plot. Watching that stuff slowly unravel and Rimuru and his people levelling up is extremely satisfying. But I wouldn't mistake that for good character writing

I was mainly reffering the opness part but yeah i never consider slime as something extraordinary as a overall story but slime to me is one of the perfect example of generic stories can be good if the execution is spot on. I wish if every generic isekais execution were overall this good maybe that way isekai would have faced less hate.

Zetsuen no Tempest... it's actually rated 7.95 but still it's too much for this show.

First 6 episode was amazing I was like ''Did I just found my new favorite anime??'' but after episode 6 it started to go downhill and after episode 14-15 I was so bored. They literally turned an action anime to love and inc*st anime.

Assassination Classroom too. Whole season 1 seemed like a filler episode to me. Season 2 was so good tho.

Shigatsu wa kimi no uso, didn't cry just overrated and boring. Only saving grace is its first opening.

Slime season 2, 8-bit should had gave the project to Shaft to make head tilts and the dialogues fun to watch. Boring ass dialogue exchanges with no payoff at the end

Seirei no Moribito - this was one book from a series stretched over 26 episodes. The plot barely has meat on its bones and sure af doesn't warrant the amount of time to go over all of the events since it's too dry and there ain't any engaging catch to it.

The dynamic of the two main characters on a journey is the only thing that has any merit and even if the show was more condensed, I'd still like that wrapped around smth more compelling to watch.

Made in Abyss. Along with Mars of Destruction, Skelter Heaven, and Sonny Boy, it earns a well-deserved spot in my prestigious 1/10s.

I can name quite a few but I would say Chuunibyo (Not sure if the score is 8+), Sangatsu no Lion and Shigatsu wa kimi no Uso.

There are a lot more but let's end this here or it will attract flies.

3-Gatsu no Lion. To be honest I really don't find this series boring, but this series really needs a proper conclusion..
There are parts that are boring, but the Shogi is what matters in this Anime.

As far as the Animation goes, I hate the excessive use f**king glitter effects in some scenes in the Anime. (SHAFT's Animation style just isn't my thing)
The Art is not my preference too..

Well, if we talking about "bored to death" then Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Gintama will do. Circus is boring as it is but big amount of clowns or cheesy tricks wouldn't change much.

Franchises from Top Anime 50 of MAL I found boring as hell:

Fruits Basket
Hunter x Hunter
3-gatsu no Lion
Koe no Katachi
Clannad
Monogatari (except Bakemonogatari)
Kimi no Na wa.
Violet Evergarden Movie
Haikyuu!
Hajime no Ippo
Rurouni Kenshin
Kimetsu no Yaiba
Mononoke Hime

Mainly because melodrama makes me sleepy. One could ask "How about Code Geass?", my answer would be "This show has the opposite effect, it makes me angry.".

fate stay night unlimited blade works

instead of being an interesting high stake battle royal of minds and strength, it was just a sequence a events that felt like they were happening just because. There was no push for anything to happen, and a lot of the plot points are senseless to me. Some characters also got on my nerves and It felt like it was following a textbook for "how to write a deep and philosophical story", rather than just doing what It really wants to.
