5 Centimeters per second. I don't completely dislike it, I just can't relate to it and because of that I was kinda bored watching it.

So, you've never watched a show that you could tell was pretty well done but doesn't suit your preferences/tastes or just doesn't otherwise appeal to you? I don't see how it's so hard to understand that, just because you don't like something doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

Well seems like there's no logic behind it.

I don't think the term "dislike" is the right word.
Don't you mean "not interested" or "uninteresting"?

Perhaps, or perhaps you and I are thinking of the word "Dislike" in different respects, which is also very possible.

If it is more clear to you, then yes I am simply uninterested.

I really don't know how I could explain it any better than I already have but I'll try: I am not so vain as to think that, just because I don't like (what I've seen of) UC Gundam that it is an awful series or whatever.

It still is, whether I like the show or not, a series that has had a huge impact throughout the anime industry and characters like Char Aznable and Amuro Ray are still iconic, but...it just does not appeal to me because of my lack of connecting with the characters. And, though that is what I consider bad writing does not mean that is necessarily the case. I mean, after all, those characters are iconic/legendary for a reason right?

Baccano for sure. Even I know that I'm a huge pleb for liking Durarara more. Although I found the movie Snatch, the inspiration for its unique style, to be much more entertaining than either one.

Evangelion is another highly acclaimed show I didn't like all that much. Although I know for sure that Eva really isn't all that good.

Your own judgement in this matter would be that you dislike the show. But you can see that it is "good". Meaning that the show is of quality. AKA critically acclaimed or vastly appealing to the majority of people.

LOL that's pretty hilarious how ironic that is, but whether you choose to believe it or not, I can assure you that I am quite mentally stable. Thanks for your concern. But you never answered my question.

I wouldn't say dislike, but I would say I didn't enjoy them as much as I think I would. First show that came to mind is Cowboy Bebop. Also most of the Kara no Kyoukai movies and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

S A M E. I think it has to do with the fact that I hate brainless action without a deep plot. During the second half where all the political stuff started happening I thought it was great! But no. Then it went back to brainless action.

Also, the Satoshi Kon stuff like Paprika and Paranoia Agent - which I know is very good. I just could not end up following it properly.

Oh right, and Cowboy Bebop.

Uh no, those are just possible consequences of a show being good, not the reason why it's good in the first place.

You can see if a show is good without even knowing what others people think about it.

By all what is unknown, the incongruity of this thread and omnipresent lack of dexterity call for utter contempt.

"Anime you know is good, but dislike anyway?" ?
Seriously ? Because when an anime suits your liking criteria , you dislike it ? That's psychotic ambivalence right there, and a very apparent contradiction even for those of you who have Aspergers.
Moreover , people defining "good" as "appealing to the masses" while most of them are talking about animes they never saw and judging them by the mere frivolity of being popular is just as mind sickening.

Now , let's clear up some points :

1. You can't dislike an anime AND establish it's good at the same time.
When you like an nime , there are no ifs no buts.

2. Since when the overall quality of an anime was inherent to its popularity ?

@Sacrophagus

You are somewhat lacking. Or at least, that post is.

Its very simple to know a show is 'good' but not enjoy it. It simply depends on exactly how you judge what is good. For me, the only thing important is enjoyment, but at the same time I know I am not the only person who makes judgements about things. If its generally accepted as good, or is well written I can know its good without enjoying it.

I think there is a difference between knowing something is good and seeing potential. There are some movies/shows that I can admit not having watched in the right mood, therefore looking forward to a proper rewatch. Aria the animation for example. Maybe if I watch the whole Aria franchise I'll end up appreciating this first season more as an essential part of it. But I am not "aware" of that quality, I'm simply speculating. This thread assumes that you know how good something is before even watching it, while my judgements on what is good and bad come from my viewing experience. So I can't make a proper answer to this.

jal90 ninja'd me. So I'll just add that I don't call an anime "good" if it doesn't appeal to me or it's well done or doesn't suit my preferences and I like good anime (I thought everyone did, even if they're idea of "good" is different. Guess not). That sounds like a description of anime that either I wouldn't watch or score low.
You're right, if I don't like it could that it's mean it's average or fine.

Then you must be pretty damn retarded.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

For me it's Gintama. I watched a few episodes and I just thought it was meaningless and boring. I can see why many people like it but it wasn't for me.
Thats cause gintama has a shitty start, ask borderline any gintama fan and they will tell you the first 10-20 episodes are mediocre at best, same goes for one piece which takes even longer to get good

Its still possible its not your thing but there is a huge chance you may end up enjoying it once it actually gets good, like try watching episode 20 which i have marked down as the first good episode in the series for me personally. If you dont laugh once then its not for you

Nah, but actually, I think the show is quite aware of that, Jordoeee. Luffy not being able to take his position seriously is a constant in the series that, as the character gets developed and becomes aware of where he is, is slowly reverted. It's only natural that Luffy doesn't start being perfectly able to act as it would be expected in a pirate.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun.

From the episodes that I watched, I found the comedy quite well-done with pretty witty banter. But I can't stand the male lead. And as a male watching a shoujo, I feel really weird watching a series in perspective of a young girl falling in love with a beautiful smart rich delinquent boy (in other words, a high school girl's wet dream).
