it's still ongoing. so i don't think it needed to be impacting suddenly in the middle.

Most overrated goes to DanMachi or KimiUso if we include left-overs.

OreMono is fine. I just finished a few minutes ago and while I do think that it's current rating is too high, it's still not that overrated compared to a lot of titles that aired this year.

Because you can't differentiate between what's good and bad.

Ehh, surprisingly nothing was really disappointing for me this year yet. Everything I thought was going to be bad was bad and everything I thought was going to be good was good. If I had to pick I would say God Eater because it had a lot of hype, but I knew after episode 2 it wasn't going to amount to anything.

I loved My love story. It wasn't an entire season of cliche protagonists trying to confess for an eternity. Its unique, so I guess thats why some people don't like it, its not like most other romances.
read more shoujo guys.

Well, the anime covered a lot of it. A good two cour should have covered a climax or two.

DanMachi


I find it hard to consider this overrated. Top 4 reviews of DanMachi: 4, 4, 5, 2. It has a silent majority that like it, but most people that talk about it just rail on it endlessly. And even the silent majority don't push it over 8.00 like they do with some unpopular anime (e.g. SAO).

Bad foreshadowing. Repetitiveness in flashbacks to force drama. Tone that shifts more than a kid playing FPS games. Monologues that don't fit the characters. Extremely lightly taken trauma. Wasted time and development on unnecessary characters and events.

The anime is at 7.98, that's more than enough to consider it overrated since it doesn't even deserve a 5.

Thought the foreshadowing was great, especially after reading the manga and catching onto it. Flashbacks were a bit too much at times. The tone was always solemn-like, I think, except forced comedy scenarios which were done poorly in the anime. Monologues were fantastic, except the dialogues between our main couple which felt very awkward and metaphorical. Felt that other characters could have gotten more time and one (Nagi) less time because in the end, she was kind of pointless.

A piano to the face would have been more subtle than the foreshadowing in the show.
The tone was a joke. Bad comic relief interrupted and destroyed any mood that the dramatic scenes tried to set up.
Monologues would fit some 15th century authors more than the 14 year old kids in KimiUso.
Tsubaki and Ryouta needed all the time that was spent on the side characters.

please make it clear that i am not shigatsu haters. i give it an 8. look at my list.

most of it fans prised it soo much as best romance/drama ever just because someone die. it just look cringeworthy for me. her deathflag is already declared form first 3rd episode, but everyone look like really surprised. i found everyone other than main couple is just plot dirven character to make main couple become closer and breake it in the end for shock factor. i don't see any reason needed for it. also it's just cheap way to make character development. that's why i like this man quote

also some people (especialy Antilope/cdxx/higushi_no_kaze) i find is that shigatsu threated people with trauma like shit. and it make people really hate character other than main. dunno much since i don't really know by myself abut trauma, but i just feel so pity about main character dragged trough his own trauma many times.

i don't said that shigatsu is utter shit or something. i enjoy it music, it comedy, and it drama. and i also find it story executed pretty good. but i find it still really overrated if it going to be top 20.

The overall notion generated from a simple-minded audience?

It's overrated because people overrate it. It had quite a bit of flaws. From melodrama to awkward mood shifts.

Anyway, I nominate Charlotte of course. Jun Maeda is a fucking idiot.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

I have to agree that the only flashbacks I'm interested in was the piano trio.
The other side characters made the show quite frustrating to watch.
I guess I can't see how it is overrated because I feel that the piano scenes executed offsets all of the cons.
As a piano guy myself I am hit hard by what the series is trying to tell us.
But thanks for the enlightenment lol.

God Eater will be a huge disappointment if next episode is truly the last. If not, it'll remain a decent but mindless watch. Also, was expecting more from UBW 2nd season considering I had enjoyed the first season and back with Fate Zero the second cour turned out to be better than the first one.
Also, Owari no Seraph and Arslan turned out to be much more average than what I was expecting them to be. So yeah, quite a few disappointment so far.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

[b]Chaos Dragon- Just really shitty
Charlotte- Overhyped and MAJOR plot holes everywhere
God Eater- Delays, cut-off ending
Gakkou Gurashi- Such a great first episode but it's so slow and not really my kind of thing
Aquarion Logos- Bad sequel to a series i adore sooo much
Dragon Ball Super- TOEI.......that's all
Bikini Warriors- Too short for such an amazing series
Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan- basically nothing happened

Yea, I expected more from arslan, it was too plain, I drop it after a couple of episode. Did you know that the same author that made logh is also the same person that writes arslan?

Ranpo Kitan was disappointing. It started off promising, then it just dropped and dropped and never even thought of getting back up. Dove more than a football player, this shit.

Charlotte is overrated. Doesn't deserve anything near a 7, somehow it's above Akagami. It's fans kept saying that it would get better at episode 6, to wait until it's story started. Well, a one cour anime should not be waiting until episode 6 to get started.

Triage X. The manga is just so much better. Seriously guys, just read the manga and forget the anime even exists.

Dragon Ball Super. The less said about this the better. Just please don't call it Dragon Ball.

and so many more.

Yeah that was one of the main reason I was expecting more from it. A historical setting plus an acclaimed writer seemed like the recipe for an anime I'd love. Didn't go that way sadly and I can tell you it remained quite average even after 20 episodes.

It became average since the moment that Narsus appears to predict the plans of all the enemies and the plot armor of the protagonist became obvious to a painful level (like the Farangis scene in the last episode). It's a pity, since in the beginning the series was depicted as a good historical anime. But well, worse things have happened.

This season right now it would be Rokka no Yuusha. I am so tired of that shit. IT'S NOT THAT GOOD! It's so boring and generic, so I don't see what people see in it. I've watched half of it and it's just an unoriginal plotline.

Tokyo Ghoul root A was also overrated. I dropped it after like a few episodes because it was so boring and confusing. Casual fanss are just like "Omg Kaneki my waifu, he's so awesome, Tokyo Ghoul best animu evar!" Then they post shitty memes about it.

Don't even get me started on Overlord. That shit was boring and I dropped it after 3 episodes. It's such an empty anime with a plot that gets tired too easily. The comedy sucks too.


Those are the 3 overrated anime this year.
