So i was like; oh look, apparently a good romance anime. Turned out to be A CRINGE PARTY.




Is it that bad?!?!?! I'm planing to watch it D:



Well,if you don't mind:

- overpowered MC (I don't)
- incestuous "romance" ("romance" because even as it is in this show,there's absolutely nothing romantic)
- undeveloping characters
- extremely poor storyline
- characters talk about some overly annoying pseudo-scientific magic gibberish ALL THE TIME

If you can swallow and digest all this above,you might want to give it a shot. ;)

Even though I don't think it was "awful" per se, Re:Creators sure as hell wasn't a "classic in the making" like some certain fools were making it out to be, that's for sure.

Damn shame too.
I really did love the hell out of Re:Creators back when it stated airing in April this year, but now that seems like such a long time ago seeing how far things have come since then, and what kind of show it became afterwards...

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

Horrendous in every aspect,watching that show was as exciting as watching the wall paint dry.
Also,it is a 24 episode long show,I felt like my flesh is decaying and falling off my bones.

I agree with you. I couldn't get past episode 3. Lots of dialogue and boring story.

Dies irae (everything is crap about this)

Chrome shelled regios (mainly because of ending)

Darker than black:ryuusei (new female lead and story which totally ruined the whole series)

Toradora (romance aspect was quite bad)

Fate/Apocrypha (the worst fate series in every aspect, be it story,animation,characters or music)

Ixion saga dt (very boring)

Erased - this is a copycat of diamond is unbreakable's last arc. The villain, the kid, and the other cast. I was hyped on it because it started good and the manga ended brilliantly then they decided an anime original ending.

Aquarion evol - It was 8.16 peak. It has the best ending song that I know and its ost is top tier. The flow of the story is decent but then they decided that bs ending. The ratings drop to oblivion.

Bleach - you know they could just end it in aizen's arc instead of fullbring arc. Nope they decided to add 40 more fillers and a weak arc from the manga and decided to discontinue it.

Funny I haven't seen any arguments lol.

Anyway, Cowboy Bebop. I do not get the hype, I have seen many anime better than Bebop.

Guilty Crown- anyone who watched Baccano! It is like the first episode, you know how the series is going to end.

You expected Isekai Smartphone for something else other than the waifus? Wow... I'm really surprised to the point that I'm laughing so hard now.

Anyway, the beach EP was certainly good isn't it?! xD

I was looking forward to the Rosario + Vampire anime, since I really like the manga. But it was bad. Entire things have been changed or removed and there are stupid filler.

I don't want to remember being EXTREMELY hyped about watching sword art online,not only because it was extremely aweful but after I watched it,I had to go to a serious emergency to the hospital..I'm not even joking.So now,what about you?


Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I thought the first season was good at least?

For me, it was Yuri on Ice!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I thought it was going to be like Kuroko's Basketball and Haikyuu with more hot boys for ME to love, but instead it was just hot boys loving on EACH OTHER.

I'm not a fujoshi, so even though I can tolerate ship teases like in Free!, I can't deal with downright yaoi in my sports anime. That's just not what I came to watch.

The main two that come to mind are Clannad and 5 Centimetres per Second.

Was told countless times that Clannad was the greatest romance anime of all time and that it hits you in the feels. Now if by hit me in the feels meant making me want to end it all with a noose, then it definitely worked. Like I understand why people like After Story, but I just do not understand the first season. The whole structuring of it is just fucking dumb. Its humour is braindead, it's drama is painful to sit through, and the characters can all eat a bag of dicks.

And then there's 5 Centimetres per Second. Only hyped up for me cause I watched Garden of Words which was excellent. It's probably the most boring movie I have ever watched.


No one really likes the first season of Clannad. People say "Clannad" is awesome, but they are refering to the whole thing. People still find the first season okay, because they watched After Story. AS without the first season would be way worse, it was a necessary evil. Helps present the characters, starts developing them and sets the whole theme. I actually find the comedy to be funny, but that's just personal xD. But yeah, the whole deal is on AS.

Re:Zero and Kiseijuu.

Kiseijuu is the definition of pretencious and it's poorly written. It disguised itself as a show with gorgeous animation and soundtrack, and it's not much more than that. If it was animated back when the manga was written, it would have half the score it currently has.

Re:Zero is shit.

Because the first half the first season is literally the most boring and uninteresting of them all. Keep watching through the boredom and you'll see that after episode 10 or 11 things get at least 5x more interesting.

This is also a pretty much known fact from anyone who has seen it, because it really does get a lot better, the beginning is meant to be a prequel anyway. I almost dropped it too, but just keep watching it and I think it may surprise you.

From this season: Dies Israe and Black Clover.

Also Gurren Lagann. I don't think it is a bad show and I can see many great aspects in it, but I can't get into it for some reason and I don't know why. I am currently at episode 9, does it change later on or do you say I should drop it since it stays pretty much the same?

Hmm... Well, of course SAO, that one's pretty obvious...

I'm surprised I haven't seen Rewrite mentioned, being a Key VN adaptation I was expecting it to be at least decent, and the first episode was amazing... and then it just crashed and burned after that...

I'm not sure if this might be an unpopular opinion, but I found Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (the series, haven't seen the movie) incredibly disappointing after how great Fate/Zero was and how not bad the original Fate/Stay Night was. It focused on all the characters I find uninteresting or even just can't stand (Shirou, Rin, Archer,...) while the more interesting characters were given the narrative shaft (Rider, Kotomine, Sakura, Illya and Berserker [to a lesser extent, they at least got something], even Saber [she became the damsel in distress for awhile, and then after being rescued she just kind of stood around...]). I really wanted to like it, enough to force myself 9 episodes into the 2nd season, but I just couldn't take it anymore :/

The current show Ousama Game (King's Game on Crunchyroll) fails to deliver on everything it claims to be... it's pretty decent as a "so bad it's good" unintentional comedy though.

And the biggest disappointment I can think of: Hell Girl season 4. Wow was I hyped to see a new season of such a great show after so long, and wow was it a disaster with no redeeming qualities...

Kuusen Madoushi. The anime had low-budget animation for the fight scenes, and both the Anime and Manga failed to capture the atmosphere and captivating elements of the LN.

We still need more Anime genres like Sky Wizards and Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi, where the MC is a teacher for the heroines, instead of the usual classmate/fellow student setting.

There is one more LN that features the MC as a teacher to the heroines, and that is "Mahou Kenshi no Extra". Do you think that LN deserves an Anime adaptation ?
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V

I've watched mostly every Yu-Gi-Oh! sequel and I liked them so far- except this one.

I liked it a first until I got to the Synchro Arc (which I was most hyped for spoiler reasons) and everything was a mess after that. The ending is probably the most terrible ending I've seen in a Yu-Gi-Oh! series (poor Yugo too, fave character in the anime), I thought Zexal's ending was eh at best.

I don't really follow anime releases, but Dragon Ball Super would be the exception, I guess. I really wanted to like it, but it was completely awful for over 100 episodes straight. Only the last few episodes have been up to the level of quality I'd expect from a Dragon Ball anime...
