If you think this is bad you should see fans of yuri/yaoi stuff. That's where the real victim complex lies. I just laugh every time people try to pad shit down to "haters" vs "true fans".

It's not mainstream though

It think the OP thinks if it hits a certain rank and popularity profile on MAL it makes it mainstream. It's still a late night anime though. Really very very few anime can be called mainstream. The most recent anime to make the mainstream is probably Love Live but mainly in Japan and South East Asia.

mate, people are free to hate.

Like I cdnt get into Gintama no matter how funny it is. I didnt like Slam DUnk which is supposed to be a great basketball manga. SO what? Love and hate is your choice.

Btw Shigatsu should settle with a score of 8-8.5, Even though I rated 10 I dont think its better drama than NANA. No way..

People like what they like and people hate what they hate, while I thoroughly enjoyed this anime as some one who is a classically trained pianist, im sure there are plenty of people who didnt and their opinions are valid.

Though at the same time, it is silly to bash something you've never seen or choose to never watch based on some preconceived notions that may or may not be true. though we are on the internet, trolls will be trolls no matter what you say.

I can not believe the importance given to people if your favorite show is loved or not, or if you have a good rating in MAL, And take out things like "Because Western people like more than Cartoons Anime" that have nothing to do because all watching anime because this is an ANIME PAGE wtf Advocates of this show are more concerned about the acceptance that its creators themselves and defend with all jajaja

some love it, others hate it, with reason, without reason, even without seeing it, this is the internet and and create this kind of topics only incite each side is cornered in his argument.

I apparently am forced to like melodrama because I was raised in an Eastern culture, but oh no! I must be a weeaboo for emphasizing that this is not the case when I live away from an Eastern society!

I feel like people are either literally 14 years old, are complete weeaboos, or both.

This thread is nothing but a rant against classic shows. You didn't even argue why Shigatsu is a great show, and the fact that you Shigatsu fans act like that shows exactly the kind of fanbase this show has. All you could say was that "WE don't like classic shows, we are not the same as you guys" and that people who like said shows make the MAL community toxic? No, what makes the community toxic is people like you who overthink everything in a show like Shigatsu and then proceed to create hundreds of threads about how great Shigatsu is, excusing it with "it's good because our preferences are different". Shame on you.

LOL these butthurt elitists are so funny! I don't agree with the OP, but that post was even stupider than OP's ranting.
Humans are suspicious and jealous creatures. When they see something perfect, they wanna find a flaw.

Er... No. If there were really so many people complaining about it then those series won't be mainstream anymore (assuming they are doing so because they don't really like it) .-.

PD: Shigatsu (only read the manga, don't know about the anime) is really good anyway and is NOT mainstream by any means... And I doubt it will ever be.

"I hated this show" = you have the right to write it. Everyone has different taste, after all!
"This show was very bad" = you have the right to write it, but please add why when generalizing.

Over the years I have ran into countless people who hate a specific anime simply because it is popular or mainstream, myself I don't believe whether an anime is popular or not can really say whether an anime is bad or good right off the bat. I feel it takes you watching it to actually decided but that's just what I think, what about you?

I think there's an inane misconception that because people dislike mainstream anime fanbases, what they do to the community, and their abhorrent personalities, they suddenly are misjudging the show itself.
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

At the same time, popular anime can also be bad. Just look at SAO's Alfheim arc.

Popularity has no bearings on the quality.

NGE is popular and it's great. Mushishi and Steins Gate are popular and, at least the little I watched from them was great.

Anyways, popularity has nothing to do with the quality of the show. Although, the mainstream shows tend to be "dumber" than the less popular/obscure ones.
