Are there any anime that you feel like you're the only person who enjoys it?

For me, it's 3d Kanojo. I really like and identify with the lead, but every review i've seen gives it a horrible score.

Same with Takena's shorts. I like horror and gore but his work is some of the lowest rated stuff on the entire site.



Same with me on 3d kanojo. I do agree the first season had its low moments, but season 2 was actually really good

None because no matter how unpopular a title I had enjoyed may be, the chances of existing at least one other person out there different than me who had also enjoyed it are with all certainty different than zero.

I feel this way about Ben-To. I never see anyone even talking about it. I know it's from 2011 and it probably had its time, but still.

The currently airing Kono Healer, Mendokusai has a very harsh mean score at about 5.70. But I honestly enjoy this very much. I think it's brilliant.

Currently Shikimori and Shokei Shoujo. Both have some lower than expected scores and I haven't seen many positive opinions of either of them for some incredibly weird reason.

Shikimori puzzles me since I know for a fact it has the ingredients for a popular anime but somehow it's been hated on a lot? Perhaps because of Dress-up Darling? Shokei Shoujo is also a weird one since it has some really good production value and a pretty compelling world and story. I'm guessing a lot of the hate comes from the first EP but even then, I didn't think the score would go below 7.5.

Also, I too enjoyed 3D Kanojo. It was a really nice watch.

Honestly cant think of anything so imma go with Sao

Not gonna say too much but bro everyone be hating on it. I'm not on of them anime experts but shit man why. Ik there are some sao fans but feel like not many people appreciate Alicization.

This was like 3-4 years ago so obviously I think differently know but I honestly enjoyed watching it. Might've been trippin or smth

Goddamn I wrote so much


Alizication was goated.

Until they did what they did with Eugeo.

It was a good scene there and the, but it went downhill after that.

Yh I did give it a seven. I enjoyed it but I couldn't look past the recaps at the earlier episodes, the sequential drops in animation quality, etc.

Occultic;Nine is one of the more bizarre cases of works that were simply ignored by the community. Many people watched the first episode and created an erroneous stereotype of the work because of some scenes. Also, many people couldn't adapt to the quick lines of dialogue.

At the end of the day, I don't think I saw almost anyone else but me watching until the end and even fewer people who liked the work. I'm a bit suspicious to say, however, because I had the patience with the work, I took notes, went back several times to read the dialogues and waited. The vast majority who watched it did not.

Also, +1 for Koi wa Ameagari no You ni and for Guilty Crown.

I was loving level E until the big reveal of the prince's joke at the end of ep 3. Then I couldn't see it the same way anymore after the show shifted to other charas.


Yeah, honestly, if it stayed like those first 3 episodes, i'd probably give it a higher score, but i genuinely didn't like the color rangers arc or anything up until the baseball guy from the first episode came back (Sorry, i'm bad with names, i forgot the character's name)

Yeah, that's exactly the arc that I say I'm the only one who enjoys (color rangers). I didn't really like the 4th episode or the mermaid one, but all the other ones were equal IMO.
Nice to have other unironic love for Bananya though.

Fourth episode, that was the horror episode, right? The one that didn't really have anything to do with the story. I genuinely thought that was a mistake, someone put the wrong episode of another show on Level E's page (I got it off a fansub site that wasn't exactly legal). It was weird, i think i skipped it.

The only other plot i really remember after the 3rd episode was the one where a female alien planned to breed with a human but couldn't because the person was transgender. Or something like that. It's been years sicne i saw this series, sorry.

Blade of the Immortal 2019.

Sure the pacing was off in the beginning, but I loved the style, the story, the characters, and the presentation. It ain't perfect, but I didn't think it was as bad as the reviews say it is.

Maybe I should watch more shows people think are bad just to see if they really are.

No worries. It would be impossible to remember everything about everything you watched.
Yeah, the fourth episode didn't fit the series as much. Apparently, the end of the episode showed that the whole plot of the episode was a draft from the MC, for I forget which reason.
Yeah, you're right about the female alien thing. There was also the part with the color rangers (as you know), the baseball thing (where they were trapped in the guy's mind) and the finale (with the MC's fiance). Plus the mermaid thing, as I said (the one who can tell when people lie, mixed in with the plot of the black color ranger moving away).

No one seems to enjoy Docchi mo Maid, Maid Meshimase, or Asylum Session. The first two are more ironic (just kidding Maid Meshimase is a work of fiction in a league of its own that surpasses all critically acclaimed literary works) but Asylum Session, although having a loose, underdeveloped story and characters plus having some of the worst CG in all of anime, I genuinely enjoyed it and found it to be profoundly charming in spite of all of its obvious drawbacks. I really, really liked it and was entertained throughout the entirety of it.
Oh, and Docchi mo Maid is shit but because it felt so blatantly satirical I ended up loving every second of it and laughed my ass off for its entire impressive runtime of 13 minutes.

Oh and how could I forget King's Game and Ichi the Killer: Episode 0? King's Game is shit but hilarious in all the wrong ways, and same goes for Ichi the Killer. I became a fan of both of these, although the Ichi the Killer manga actually kicks ass.

Biggest case I've had with this come up was with my viewing of Reign: The Conqueror (Alexander Senki). Many have put it in the same league of Pilot Candidate and Super Milk-Chan as among their worst anime lists and worst anime that aired on Adult Swim during the block's 2000s run. But while I did see some flaws, I found the storytelling for it to be rather solid for the most part.

Another is a great Anime, no idea why it's rated too low, almost every user I went to either gave it a low score or say that it's trash.

Well there has to be someone who likes all the barely hidden toy commercial anime (little kids, I assume) but at least talking to other adults or looking at MAL ratings, no one else seems to actually enjoy or watch them.
But I find some weird level of enjoyment in shows like Marvel Disk Wars, Phi Brain or Build Divide (leaving out stuff like Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon and Co. because many of us watched those as children, so they are popular due to nostaglia).


Weirdly, I also love Marvel Disk Wars, the only Anime apart from Yo-kai Watch! and Teen Titans(if it's consider an Anime)that I took seriously back in my childhood.

Takena has a pretty dedicated little fanbase. Unfortunately, most people on MAL don't seem to appreciate his work. It's definitely a shame because he's clearly very talented at claymation and his shorts are so much fun.


If i had to guess, it's probably because they aren't "Traditional" anime, i guess you'd say. I saw a few of his shorts years back on the early days of YouTube and had no idea they were even anime.


You could be right. Even well done 3DCG can be a deterrent for people, so claymation anime not being very popular on here makes sense. I also have to wonder if maybe some people go into his work with the wrong expectations. Anyone watching a Takena short expecting it to be 100% serious and genuinely scary is bound to be disappointed.

Wakako-zake. Extremely short series about an OL getting some munchies from bars. It's far too short to have 'character development' or a complex story. Just watch the good food and good booze. What more do people want from a series that totals to the broadcasting time of a single anime episode?


I love Wakako-Zake too! :D ..I've seen it multiple times and it's so relaxing to me.

I would also add Kyousougiga and momokuri.. :)
