Not necessarily. Overrated doesn't automatically mean you dislike something, just that it doesn't deserve the praise fully. So you can think an anime you gave a 7/10 to be overrated if others rate it more than you.


Saying something is overrated is the politically correct way of saying you hate or dislike a show.

Surprized no Code Geass I mean I think its an awesome show, but there seem to be a lot of people who call it over rated or bad. Guess not much in Japan? Cool.

that's because of nationalism and propaganda in CG.
Japan loves to be portrayed as the victims and good guys because of their peaceful past.

Yes,I am dumb.

They were labeled by majority to be good and then the majority labeled them overrated.

Genius,aren't we?

You clearly are. Thousand online users out of million anime fans are considered majority?

This literally like saying the majority of anime fans in this site think anime like Shigatsu, Attack on Titan, Clannad After story are overrated when their ranking clearly proves otherwise.

Those are ranked bad?

I'd have to disagree with Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, AnoHana, and Oreimo.

Comedy is subjective so everyone will have different taste but Working and Daily Lives are both very well done imo.

Railgun S imo has one of the single best arcs, the sister's arc, so that one caught me off guard.

In that case it's really no wonder why shows like Madoka, Steins;Gate, Anohana, Persona 4 and K-ON that were at the height of their popularity in 2011 topped the list. They don't really take issue with anything the shows did wrong. Just a knee jerk reaction in a pathetic attempt to spite their popularity. Because that's what all the cool kids are doing right? Guess in some ways the Japanese otaku aren't all that different to the western anime fandom.

If they made another one now, I can pretty much guarantee that Love Live would top the list.

Apparently the Blu-ray sales weren't so good despite all the hype. That's probably why.

There are a lot of 2011 titles which is not surprising since this poll was made right after that year and as such, those shows and the hype surrounding them were still fresh in the otakus' minds. A similar poll today would definitely have SAO, AoT, Love Live and UtaPri.

meh, that's from 2012, when Madoka's fandom was at it's peak or should I say worst.

That would definitely explain why Penguindrum is on the list.

"Overrated" doesn't mean they are bad, just that they are rated or hyped too highly of their actual 'speculated' level of rating.

I think Madoka Magica makes sense, in a way.

People hark on about how dark it is and about it being a deconstruction. I think because of that instead of focusing on it being a well written, interesting story that is more than it first appears, people get a different idea about what they will get.
