| What bores me the most is fillers done wrong, a episode doesn't have to drive the story forward if it's still entertaining. Sadly enough most fillers follow this concept: boring people meet protagonist, boring people are in truble, three episodes later protagonist finally saves boring people. A filler done right, in my opinion, is the one in One Piece where the crew lands in the middle of a marine base after Sky Island. The bizzare situation that they were in, interesting characters and top notch humor is what made that filler golden. |

You can't blame a lack of patience when an anime is progressing slower than a snail who's asleep, right? |
QuattroVaginas said: Older animation, lack of fanservice, exposition, mundane hair colors, philosophy, no mecha, mundane iris colors, deficiency of tropes, Lain, any sort of babble, more than 26 episodes, and no comedy. I think that's all. There's a great irony brewing here; doubt anyone will get it though. |

| Above all I'd say if I can't find any characters I really like. If I don't care about any of them it can't help but be boring, at least over a prolonged time. |
| My answer is the same as every others (story, ost, pacing, characters, etc.) If it's well executed, I could still enjoy even if it's 90% talking (Death Note for example). But if it's bad, bad characters, bad pacing, bad plot, etc. Give me 80% action and I'd still find it boring. *cough couch SAO* |

| The only show I've found to be completely unbearably mind numbingly boring is Mahouka. Cliched story with no creativity, cliched cast with no personality, dull and lifeless animation, embarrassingly brief action scenes, uninspired setting and a pointlessly convoluted magic system that adds nothing to the development of either of the latter only serving give the show a false air of sophistication and intelligence when the characters ramble on about it for 3 quarters of the episode It's dumb and generic like the sort of forgettable garbage you can find in just about any anime season. But even stuff like Index and Strike the Blood have a certain charm to them. What makes Mahouka so boring is that it constantly pretends that it's above stuff like without actually doing or saying anything to the contrary. |

| If the ost in the show is garbage. |
Higashi_no_Kaze said: Lack of interestingness Spoken like a true scholar. :p OT: Lack of plot development and/or flat characters are the primary offenders for me. An overabundance of clichés without any differentiation will likely bore me as well, even if the execution is good. Slow pacing in itself doesn't bother me unless it keeps much from happening in single episodes. A great deal of dialogue doesn't bother me either so long as it's relevant, meaningful, or witty. I don't rely on action alone for enjoyment. Comedy often fails to entertain me, so it's a hit or miss situation there. I think that covers most of the bases. |

| Well for me I get bored of an anime when there is no drama or story development happening. I also get bored if the characters are just typical cut-outs and have overused character tropes. |

Snail pace plot, completely uninteresting characters, mundane slice of life scenes that don't contribute to the plot whatsoever, no focus on the enemy at all. |

| Info dumping,constantly switching tones from serious to light-hearted,complete lack of creativity.... |
| I actually find action boring most of the time, since I find it repetitive. That of course depends on each series, but mindless action (Guns firing around, swords clashing over and over again, lack of choreography, explosions) is one of the most boring things in any story telling medium. I'm always baffled when a lot of people think action can never be boring, and that everything else is boring. An recent example of this, is Fate/SN UBW and F/Z. Other things that bores me: Slow pacing Slow plot progression Episodic narrative Magic Demons |

| Lack of forethought put into the plot or characters. It seems like most of the anime that "bore" me revolve around a lack of development within the plot or characters. Situations where there were opportunities to go far deeper into the character motivations or the story...but it doesn't progress for unknown reasons. Here's an example of an anime I'm watching lately. Shirobako is supposedly about a group of former high school girls who graduate, move on from high school and work in the anime industry doing random things. For the most part, the first three episodes show the hectic everyday life of primarily one girl from this group of friends. The problem with this series? It doesn't properly develop the character motivations Aoi Miyamori (who I had to look up because the character names are incredibly forgettable) or any of her friends motivations for that matter. We learn very little about her backstory and her motivations for wanting to work in anime. Hell, even episode 4 just recently called into question her own motivations and didn't properly answer them. This is a case where the anime is getting too far ahead of itself. While showing how the anime industry one great big hectic circus, it doesn't give us a well-rounded character to "rally around." To me, building character is THE most important part of storytelling. If you don't give us deep, well-developed character(s) to learn about, then it gives me no motivation as a viewer to want to watch this. |

| The two things which annoy me the most are bad pacing and stupid characters. I genereally enjoy comedy and fanservice, but there are also series I like which do not have these things. |
| Slow Pacing (unless it`s slice of life) Less Variety No cute girls ^ Boring |

If you don't give us deep, well-developed character(s) to learn about, then it gives me no motivation as a viewer to want to watch this. This is the case where actually the character development is shoved in one's face and yet they fail to see it. For example, in four episodes we saw Aoi finding her dream in high-school, making it to work where her dream matters, getting buried in fast learning (to become a professional), getting numb from overworking (but yet, being able to contribute to the studio's current project, drawing inspiration and optimism from her genuine life experience and dream), and at the end of the day, when things aren't going smoothly again, she is at the brink of losing her dream in favor of current work. It's a lot for 4 episodes and we are going to see more of it. And I think it's way different from characters at their episode 156 that either still the same, or their character update revolves around shouting their attacks, changing their clothes and hair, and striking flashy poses, or falling in someone's breasts to get in tune with the audience. Seriously, some anime series can do the same in 18 episodes or less. Many people complain the industry should change for better. I am beginning to doubt that even if it does change for better, would there be anyone left to notice the difference. Therefore, what bores me to death is not anything generic or fanservicable in particular - it's the repetitiveness and laziness (= refusal to input something more than change in hair, eyes, clothes, weapons, etc.). |

Last 3 episodes are above average Mahouka episodes but still boring action scenes compare to other anime and it definitely not that outstanding or special.Yokohama arc 2nd half is just about the usual stuff where Tatsuya beat a bunch of weak villains/cannon fodder easily except this time,they drag it to 3 episodes. No tension at all. sullynathan said: Akame ga kill is boring because from the surface the art style isn't exciting to look at or distinct. The animating isn't good enough to make the action seem interesting. If animation and art style affect your enjoyment on anime,then I'm guessing shows like Shingeki no Bahamut is your favorite anime since animation is the main selling point of Bahamut so far. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

| Bad characters. |
| Action. For example shingeki no bahamout, code geass, etc And not original story. |
  |
| Pathetic Characters example: Tokyo Ghoul, while i found the story interesting, most of the characters were just meh, espicially Kaneki, who was Yuki 2 until the last 5 min of the last episode. Also Friendship Magic. |
