One modern fantasy that may be good is not enough to say that modern fantasy is not a red flag for me. all the other ones I named are good or great shows. made in abyss is just the best one out of all of them. |

| I'm a simple man: boredom. I prefer fun trash (Rental Kanojo, KamiKatsu, SAO, Ishuzoku Reviewers, etc.) than somniferous "super productions" (Shigurui, Texhnolyze, etc.). Along with this comes unnecessary slow pacing. For example, as much as I like Vinland Saga, I'm starting to get fed up with dreams, hallucinations, flashbacks, and, oh my, the farm... even now that action is supposed to have started, there's not a single moment unnecessarily elongated by long talks, flashbacks, dreams or thoughts from the characters. It could have been a one-cour show easily. |

I'm just saying it as a general rule not a universal rule.TRC_Randy said: that could a lot of the time be build up though... it depends on why is it like that.Incoherence perfect blue a lot of times feels random, confusing and incoherent, but it's an amazing movie, not despite of that, but BECAUSE of that. |
| Random bullshit mid-fight powerups. Serious misunderstandings which should have been easily resolved by talking to each other. Characters have unrealistic caricatured behaviors (i.e. yelling all the time, being way too perverted, or way too tsundere, or prone to psychotic levels of violence for minor infractions) |
ZeroMajor12 said: I instantly lose patience when anime use needlessly shocking things to show to attract the viewers attention(I can't describe with words so I will give you examples of what type of anime I have zero patience with and hopefully will answer your question) . Example like that are Goblin slayer , Redo of healer , AOT, Made in Abyss. And anime that are trying to force idiotic drama like what Domestic girlfriend or My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected does . I would like to know what can make anyone lose patience whenever they're trying to watch any anime or even any TV shows at all. |

| Characters who cry a lot for no reason, is my top red flag. It just kills all my enjoyment. I can handle screaming but if it's too much it becomes an impossible task to finish the show. |
   |
| - Dry dialogues due to excessive exposition. This is insulting to the viewer and can explicitly voice things that are meant to be implicitly understood. - Characters who talk in a monotonous bored voice. I friggin hate them. They're not cool. Although Yamada kun from the Lv999 anime is inoffensive for some reason. Maybe because the show portrays it as a hindrance to his social life and not as a cool trait. - Self insert, beta and submissive male MCs. Like so many trash isekai MCs. For beta and submissive type, the MC from Takagi san comes to mind, or the "invisible" guy from Kubo san. - Bad animation in first episode. Like use of still frames for important action in an ACTION scene lmao. |
 |
| Artstyle, no matter how good it is I can't enjoy it if I hate the artstyle (hate not just dislike) No likeable character. I still can enjoy a story if most or even all but one of the character are horrible. As long as I like one of the character. It doesn't have to be the MC but I need someone to root for. Granted, I finished School Days but it leave a bad taste afterwards. Bad Pacing, slow when it need to be fast and fast when it need to be slow. But most of the time you can't tell this just based on the first episodes. Also I tune out as soon as I saw an OP MC at the beginning of the story without adding any meaningful flaw. A given sign that they skipped a lot of character development and reduce the stake. OP power are only allowed for villains. Also, unless it has a really good twist sprinkled on it, I wouldn't give any isekai-ish show a chance in the first place. Any unsettling feeling that Kakegurui gave me (Idk why exactly but just watching the 1st episode makes me really unsettled) And most importantly Boredom, I tune out as soon as I get bored and has no intrigue in the series anymore |
 |
| The first red flag would be something that has to do with the MC, if the MC is generic or just poorly written then that’s a huge red flag. Another red flag is 90% internal monologue of the Main character. |

| 1. Dumb Protagonist. 2. Annoying female Protagonist. 3. Pointless Fanservice. 4. Slow Pacing - nothing worse to focus on the Plot, which takes 20 minutes to finish a running animation. 5. If you lewd Lolis. This shit is something I can't forgive. If I come here to watch an Anime for the Plot or Comedy, I don't come here to watch fictional naked little People or Childs. 6. My most hated one is probably making the Protagonist a Loser and Neet without friends and a pathetic existence. And then suddenly turning him into a Badass who gets all girls and can solve all shit because he was a Neet his entire Time and developed a Godlike Brain. |
| -when the show changes format too fast and too much suddenly -has very slow pacing -is too echhi and sexual |
| My biggest red flag is studio shaft itself. |
| Whenever there are too many comedy scenes in an episode of a fantasy anime, that would be bad sign of anime turning into another Konosuba which I avoid like a plague. |

| Too much fanservice or fanservice of minors (underrated characters) are HUGE red flags for me. Side note, people that claim fanservice-e girls in anime are the best are MAD annoying. |

| Lolis hinder my enjoyment of a show, period. Glorified pedophilia-bait istg. Don't get me wrong, there's a difference between literal child-characters that fulfill the role of being children, for example Ushio from Clannad, Anya from Spy x Family, Naru from Barakamon and Rin from Usagi Drop (anime only, heard the manga went off the rails) and obvious loli-bait to satisfy sick fucks with twisted and deluded minds. Examples: Shinobu from Monogatari and Shiro from NGNL. It's sickening. |

| Sexual harassment/ rape scenes used either for shock value or titilation are a major red flag for me to skip or stop a series. Sometimes it is important for the plot to have these kinds of scenes but if it is only used for one of those two purposes and not for important plot or character development like them overcoming trauma related to it or something, it is an instant nope from me. |

| @Jackson1333 Jackson1333 said: When the presumably flat character takes off their overside sweater, only to reveal two massive melons hiding underneath. I thought I was the only one who found it completely immersion-breaking when they see anime characters with relatively believable chest sizes suddenly go up like 5 cup sizes whenever they either change into underwear and swimsuits or undress completely. Seriously, in some cases the changes are so freakishly abrupt it becomes hard to believe the girl doesn't just face plant immediately or suffer a catastrophic spinal injury. |
| If I was still young, I would have said it that I have no red flags because when I was young I watched almost anything, but now I have grown and I changed a lot and these days anything that have LGBT content or a female that acts like a bitch, I quit on the spot. |

| For ecchi shows that aren't thought of as harems but have bits of it throughout the series: When the harem element overrides the other aspects of the series. Ecchi is the most relevant to my interests for martial arts and super powers. Harems are more appreciated though visual novels where I pilot the main character. |

| 🤔 I have very few red flags since I tend to give most of them a chance before dropping (depending on how much free time I have), but basically... - if the mc is annoying, boring, or just plain stupid. Also if the MC just wants to play hero all the time, disregards everything, and pretty much digs his own grave. - if there is hardly any character development in a show that heavily relies on it - if there is an annoying and useless supporting character (... though usually if that's the case, i'll still watch but just skip that character's parts) - if the plot hardly makes sense or is too cliche - if there are too many flashbacks or if the placement of flashbacks makes no sense - if there is really poorly executed CGI - if the voice acting sucks (... this is kind of rare) And lastly... - if I actually read the manga and I don't like how it proceeds, then I won't watch the anime. (no need to be upset twice) - If it's an isekai anime with a weird plot (e.g. if it's just about a guy with a bunch of girls and nothing else), then I won't watch since I won't have the motivation to watch all the way. - otherwise, if the first 2-3 episodes aren't getting anywhere, then I'll drop it. |

| When i see children from 9-13 undergarments on screen, i hate sexualisation of underaged anime girls. Yawnnn...i still completed No Game No Life tho. |
| opin·ion [əˈpɪnjən] NOUN
|
| @ApplePieHunter I gotta agree with you on all these points. Though, most of the time i continue to watch only bc its like 90% of the animes I've watched have done 1 or more of these things and i just have to know what happens next. |
| opin·ion [əˈpɪnjən] NOUN
|
| Another BIG red flag is when the characters and mc start forgiving a character who has just committed the worst sin you could imagine and that everyone else wont get revenger because they will be just as bad- its like, bitch what!!? |
| opin·ion [əˈpɪnjən] NOUN
|
| When I see the characters or anime itself, not taking themselves seriously: Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku When an anime parodies western media, or old popular anime scenes or phrases: Shin Shinka no Mi There are definitely more, but these are ones I can think of off the top of my head. |
