There's really no reason to hate an anime because of fillers... You can just skip them. Besides, first half of Clannad AS is pretty much filler.

Its much more justified for hating an anime with shitty writing and bad characters. While this applies to both Naruto and Bleach, they aren't on the level of Clannad and SAO. Or some other shitty anime.

agree, but that's why I won't put Clannad as mainstream hate. Every anime has its haters.

Of course any medium will have its haters. Still, if Clannad is ranked #5 (namely After Story) here at MAL, I'd say that's pretty mainstream...

you can only speak for yourself, plenty of people hate Bleach and Naruto for the fillers. first half of Clannad AS sorry to say are not fillers, they are relevant to the growth and development of Tomoya.

I think popularity is what mainstream is about. It's the mainstream, has the most people watching it, regardless of the quality. With that in mind Clannad has 10 anime that are more mainstream than it.

I don't know why people would hate on Clannad. Maybe hipsters, but that is about it. The show was by no means good, but it wasn't bad either. It was average. If you hate it, it means that you probably had incredible expectations for it and were let down.

Also, grouping a seinen slice of life with a shounen action/pseudo-romance... come on. You're just basically saying, "I'm a massive troll and I'm trying REALLY hard to bait."

Why are people even giving this guy attention?
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

once again I agree, but its not the typical mainstream hate you get associated with fillers. I can only count the hate as dislike to Clannad than be put in a class of mainstream anime.

I love most mainstream stuff. Not because it's mainstream, but because I love it. A lot of it just happens to be mainstream (and likely for a reason).

What amuses me are the people hating on mainstream stuff just because it's mainstream (thus trying to gain the appearance of nonconformity). You do realize that by hopping on the bandwagon of going against mainstream just because it's mainstrream means you're conforming. Don't worry about whether something is popular or not, like what you like and don't like what you don't like, then you'll be a true nonconformist.

Well, perhaps I used the wrong terminology. Basically I was saying he didn't have anime that was 'non-mainstream'. People like DateYutaka fish out a lot of old anime, even having them as favorites, which nowadays could be considered as being a 'hipster'.

But when the ends, the sadder you get. The more something good is attached to your life, it is sadder it is when it ends.

But you shouldn't worry about that though, One Piece seems to end somewhere at 1100 episodes.

But it will depend if you feel proud for following it to the very end... or if you will feel sad to see it end.

Personally, I just don't like anime that runs for hundreds of eps. Anime like that (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, etc) tend to be pretty shallow and cater to a young male audience. It has little to do with them being mainstream, though. I like plenty of popular anime.

Then my dream to actually contribute once in an anime is pretty much doomed.

But I know a new shonen will take his place. After all, OP just took DBZ.

Well One Piece has more story while DBZ was more fights. And I think One Piece is now way more popular than DBZ, surpassed in both size and fans.

Well, DBZ is old, many fans went to another series, and it's not really that interesting compared to the new ones and more mature anime.

Not only that, some OP fans are also DBZ fans.

Generally the longer something goes on the more the quality tends to go down, which is why I've never been one for shounens. At some point the later episodes just devalue the earlier ones, I mean look at DBZ

The Saiyans are the greatest threat ever known!
Freeza is the greatest threat ever known!
The Androids are the greatest threat ever known!
Cell is the greatest threat ever known, and we're serious this time!

Well, shonen just want to give some excuse to put more fists in the plot.

Also, some strategy and traps can be very anti-climatic depending on how fast the boss dies.

But I would like to see some of them in a shonen, then we can say that their brains aren't made of biceps.

I think you would like Hunter x Hunter(the remake) then, that show prioritizes telling a unique good story more so than battles. The post below more or less summarizes the good points about the franchise and how it separates itself from the huge pile of shounen out there

I was always wondering what would happen if someone like Frieza turned up about the time Vegeta and Nappa were supposed to turn up on Earth. It's just the way these things work, the enemies always turn up in a convenient order. Same can be said for most shounens though.

Short answer: They all die lol...whether that would have been a more entertaining series remains up for debate. Though I for one loved DBZ when I was younger and still reminisce in nostalgia.
