i can understand most but i don't agree with code geass. It definitely has a lot of drawbacks and flaws but it definitely deserves a 8.5 above, then again seeing your average mean towards anime in general, perhaps u have really high standards and that's ok

From the list, the anime I might consider "objectively good" (= I blame myself for not enjoying them) are Mushishi and The Tatami Galaxy, definitely not Code Geass. However, with my current mindset, I know I'd enjoy something stupid as long as it's fun and that's why I was thinking about rewatching Code Geass. I mean, I loved Cross Ange.

Your Lie in April, not a bad anime by any means (I still gave it a 7). I think it’s overrated, seems like a lot of people fall for cheap sentimentalism and give this genre of anime overly high scores.

Berserk has a elitist fanbase
What got you confused? I got pretty lost when I first started watching AOT. Especially the second season. Yet, that only made things more interesting. And I'm glad I made it through. The third season was so good.

That's easy, Death Note.
I do recognize I might have liked it as a teenager, or if it was one of the first works of fiction I've consumed, but it was too late for me to even tolerate it.
0/10, dropped and made me wish MAL would let us rate in the negatives.

The only one I can think of is 86, and I gave it a 6 which isn't a bad score either

Oh, and also the End of Evangelion movie, also a 6 for me. Wasn't my cup of tea, even though I liked the main series
Aaand the latest season of Kimetsu no Yaiba, also a 6.

So that's a total of only 3 anime, and I don't even hate them

Things that are rather a 6.0 than almost 9 are for me: Oshi no Ko, Gintama, Bocchi, Jojo, Chainsaw Man. It's all absolutely overrated. The story makes most of an anime for me, not the animation. And for my part, all of those have a terribly immature story and characters. If the base story or MCs or their behavior isn't fitting, i won't watch it any further. Those stories may attract 15 year olds as they should, but for me they are just embarassing as hell with stories of thin air. And yes, i also read the mangas, they were not better sadly.

Would have said SAO and Bunny Girl Senpai, but those have average ratings below 8.5. Instead, I'll say Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. I don't hate it, per se, at least nowhere near as much as I hate the two other anime I mentioned, but I don't exactly like it, either. Kaguya-sama is just under 8.5, but that's another anime I didn't like as much as others seem to.

On MAL? Let's see...
Monogatari second series (and probably more of the Monogatari entries that I haven't gotten to yet).
Mob Psycho 100 III. Horribly handled ending for an otherwise fun series. The Divine Tree arc is passable, but the rest isn't that great, sorry. Not the worst anime I've ever watched, but easily a mid 5/10 experience.
Chainsaw Man. Glaring plotholes, predictable "twists", character motivations that are dumb and inconsistent at best and flatout make no sense at worst, edgy for edginess's sake without any rhyme or reason... Easily one of the worst anime that I've ever watched.
Grave of the Fireflies. The movie succeeded in what it set out to do, but I just didn't like it. Sorry, I guess. :P

None (a few overrated but they still got 6 or higher from me).

A few above MAL 8.15 but below MAL 8.5 would be Welcome to the NHK, Aria the Natural (later installments were great but S2 was a borefest), Ouran Koukou Host Club (characters, art style).

Started of as a great mecha anime that then in the second half became a convoluted mess that doesn't make any sense unless you watch a video essay on youtube breaking it down for you. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON END OF EVANGELION!

I have only 1 that I dropped that's rated above 8.5.
Chain Saw Man.

Fruits basket would come close but I dropped it in the 3rd season but that is rated under 8.50 while the first 2 are over 8.5.

For me:

  • FMAB: It's just not my preference and I get that others like it but I don't


  • Kaguya-sama: Not for me so same as FaB
  • AoT: To slow, bad ending, the Final will was never the end only the end in multiple goddamn parts
  • Demon Slayer: very dissapointed with the ending 


In the end everyone has their preferences and tastes so I don't expect anyone to agree or disagree with me but everyone that reads this have a nice day, evening or night!

FMAB is one of the best produced/directed animes because of sales, but it's for one of the most mid-tier fictions of all-time that just borrows most of its shounen tropes. Who knows, maybe the manga was a lot better in ways, but the plot certainly lets the show down. Big reveals don't mean the story is cohesive at all. 

Whereas AOT has poor lore but good storytelling ability that is far superior. When AOT drops a new truth bomb it's usually huge, not poorly planned and falling to the ground like spaghetti on the wall. 

The whole arc about homunculi and when they enter the story is a dumb trick that most great shounens would gloss over in the span of a few pages. It's the ultimate fujo show. 

The truth is pure shoujo is great and pure shounen are great, but they're not very good when mixed because their best elements don't blend well, hence why FMAB is such a let down. Something like the finale would make readers laugh their asses off in a shounen in embarrassment for the author, but since it's got so many shoujo overtones readers let it slide. The whole series goes like this. 

FMAB gets all the credit in the world for being a shounenized shoujo, but its shounen parts don't work at all. Shoujo is all about reveals, which I can't give much credit to Bros for. Bros would be better as a pure shounen. I don't like any of the elements of shoujo except for a few key parts. 

It also wasn't influential because nobody ever wanted to blend again. Demon Slayer has proven to be way more popular and Jujutsu Kaisen is similarly better as a pure shounen. DS has shoujo tendencies but it nails its shounen influences perfectly and earns its shoujo. DS is the advanced evolution of FMAB. 

FMAB attempted some fujo tricks and more women write manga now, so that's good, but it's clear ten years later that a lot of its tricks don't work and the manga isn't a classic or important anymore. The great pure shounens are still superior. Shoujo doesn't make a work more important or classy, it's simply a narrative device.

There's nothing rated above a 8.5 I thought was awful, but there where titles that are definitely overrated.

Wolf Children - not horrible but painfully mediocre. A very boring SoL where very little of consequence happens.

Demon Slayer - I did somewhat enjoy it, but at the end of the day it's a stereotypical action Shonen with nice animation & pretty colors.

Howl's Moving Castle - Out of all of Ghibli's big hits it is the most imaginative, but also the one with the most illogical story and least focused in terms plot and message.

Just checked the top anime list and there's not a single show, that I've seen, scored over 8.5/10 that I didn't like. I may not agree with the high score for all of them but none that I dislike or dropped.

Wait just realised that NGE End of Evangelion film has a score of 8.55/10 and I thought it was awful and scored it a 4/10, so yes there is one.

  1. Likely Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Part 2. Many people try to strawman me and say that " he is not evil, he is flawed", as if there were not people out there who loved dogs but hurt people. I am not saying Rudeus is a completely annoying asshole or completely evil, I am just saying he is too much of one.

    The entire premise of the series can be summed of as "what if we made Mineta from Boku No hero Academia the main character of an isekai, with even more pervyness?" To me, I do not know why anyone would want to watch that. Mineta sucks balls.

  2. Kaguya-sama is weird since I still think it is a fine anime, but I do agree that maybe part of it overstayed its welcome. Just as Gravity Falls has only two seasons and a finished narrative, I am thinking maybe the entire story of the series went on for a bit too long, honestly. I completely understand the few negative criticisms had by the third season.

  3. I love Code Geass, but it is not a well-written anime. It is entertaining for the spectacle similar to TTLG, but less intentional I'd argue. Or in essence, a very high budget The Room.

  4. Graveyard of the Fireflies feels like a tragedy without characters putting in effort, and to me this undermines the entire tragedy. I understand the real world context, and to me it is a pity that the real story is so much more interesting. At the same time, I won't fault Isao Takahata for this since writing a story like this is at its core meant to be carthatic to the viewer. If I take this film and examine it as an aspect of his life and times, I appreciate more than I do as a film divorced from that very personal context.
