| First post here, so hello! Just list things you can't stand that receive boundless amounts of praise: 1) Gurren Lagann- Absolute garbage. I can't find anything good about this 2) Clannad/AS- Why are these popular? Maybe because people are easily entertained by things that play with emotions, who knows? edit: Deleted Monster and Cowboy Beop |

| I think we have to first establish what you mean by "critical acclaim". Do you mean "has a high rating on MAL"? or "is nearly universally liked"? These often go hand in hand, but not always. |
| How to fix the review section, detailed here The average reader (HS level) reads at about 200 WPM. So a 500-800 word review should take 3-5 minutes to read. That's an acceptable length for something you're interested in spending 25 minutes to 4.5 hours of your life watching. Oh, and ANN requires any and all reviews to be 800-1200 words, no matter the length of the show. |
| What I mean is like talked up by a lot of people, so more like nearly universally liked. |
| We've had this discussion on here before, but the titles that generally float to the top are: Attack on Titan Shigatsu SAO Code Geass Tokyo Ghoul Mirai Nikki YOu know, the usual suspects. |

| Pretty much expect honestly, they're literal trash. Didn't know you had this on here before, you want me to just gas this thread? |
| OOOPS. Didn't know I could do that! I dunno if this will post Nah you don't have to can it. Some others who've joined since then might have others to add |

| Guess that's a good idea. |
| I've said it far too many times already, but: Psycho Pass. It is on the receiving end of many rave reviews yet I couldn't even enjoy it enough to want to watch a second episode. Still gave it a 4/10 out of respect for others, but it's one of the most blatant failures at achieving what it seems to be setting out to do from a thematic standpoint. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| I will consider critically acclaimed to mean the things that our friends who are usually called near in taste like it because critically acclaimed sounds like buzzword to me !! but ok 1- Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis 2- Hellsing Ultimate |
| That's basically what i was meaning. Psycho Pass is garbage too. |
| Sassy, judged by your anime list... It looks like you just hate anime. You're nearly 4 points below the MAL average, and if you use 5 as average, you still rate everything more than one point lower on average. |

| I hate anime, since when? I love anime, just because I dislike things doesn't mean I hate anime. I rate based on what I think it deserves, and if that's lower then MAL's average, so be it. |
| Dude, you rated 90% of your anime below a 5. By any metric, that's a hard right skew. |

| Because that's what I think they deserve based on various factors, this doesn't mean I hate anime at all. If I hated anime that much, I would've left by now |
| Maybe you should have started a topic about "most underrated anime" instead.... |

| Probably, gasing this thread is probably for the best. |
| Well I scored like 53% of the anime which i have watched and gave them score less than 5/10 and taking anime like MOD in account but well I don't think that they deserve or may be they are such low scores but i don't care . I score anime based on my enjoyment :D . People call me that i'm harsh . can i link your profile Mr SassyBryan to other people when they are talking about how harsh my scores are and i should change my scores :D ? |

| You can link me wherever you want to. |
| Ionno, whenever I see only low scores like that, two things come to mind: 1. I can't enjoy anime 2. I think anime is critically crap I watch anime I know is going to be crap for fun, but you can make fun out of crap. Making crap out of fun isn't how I want to watch muh Chinese cartoons :( |

| Definitely Shigatsu lol. And Madoka Magica. Princess TuTu blows anything Madoka can stand for lol |
| I'm going to say this once so you all can burn this in your mind. Scores mean nothing. A 5/10 is considered different things among different people. The justifications behind it are the real meat to it. So if you have a problem with a review, ask why you gave a certain anime a certain score instead of asking why you give low scores. |
| Frozen. Oh wait, anime titles. Outside of Sword Art Online, I have to think about what anime pissed me off so much, it's actually kind of hard for me to really hate an anime, because it has to fail while not giving a shit about why it's failing. Well, I've come to not really care for Madoka Magica. This was probably my fault for watching the films much later after watching the TV series, but after the third film, I realized the series was a waste of my time, and I couldn't tell you who the characters were without some thought. Yes, I remember enjoying it my first watch-through, but after the novelty wore off... And while I don't hate it, per se, I don't see how Nichijou is so great. "Greatest comedy gold ever"? No, I don't see how it's comedy gold when I think Azumanga Daioh is funnier. Same goes for Angel Beats, it's because it's too short, and I can't tell you who the characters were. I also don't hate Charlotte, I'm just vastly disappointed in it for not living up to its potential. And while I do like Brotherhood, I think the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime had more things going for it. |

| I don't "hate" them, but I just couldn't get into the style of wackiness in Gurren Lagann, FLCL or Kill la Kill. I also found the first series of Clannad really hard to watch, I just found it extremely boring. However, I did enjoy certain parts of AS, I like tragic stories, it just about made sitting through the first series worthwhile. Obligatory Sword Art Online mention; that is one of the few I can genuinely say that I hate. |
| A new one for me is One Punch Man. I don't get why so many people enjoy it so much. |

It don't even make the good fun with superheroes. I'm in the "it's the same recycled joke, funny the first two times and not again" camp. Seriously, there's a huge set of tropes that superhero media has created, and it's used more of them than it's made fun of them. Make fun of how stupid superhero media is, don't just make more stupid superhero media |

| Probably nothing. I either don't like it, or think it ranges from okay to good but not perfect as everyone makes it out to be. I never hate it. If GTO counts however, although it'd be absurd to think of it as "critically acclaimed", then that's the one. That show was a complete mess. Not that I disliked the humor, I actually loved it but it was obviously mostly visual, juvenile humor for 12 year olds like me. It started out as a show that made fun of stories about teachers saving their students and the day to being one of those shows. I liked the main cast, especially Onizuka but for what it was trying to do, they were actually horrible characters. I could not stand a second of the drama in GTO. The antagonists were definitely the worst aspect. They start out as unrealistically evil but in the end turn out to be "good" and all of their wrongdoings are justified, just like that! Also One Punch-man is far from being critically acclaimed. |

| Sassy Bryan you just shattered the hearts of millions of fanboys. Well here's my list i guess: Cowboy Bebop Fate/Zero Kill La Kill SAO |

I think it's success will be dependent on the strength of the side-cast of characters, such as Genos and Sonic. |

I've been hearing from the manga readers that it translated not that well to the anime and the only reason why they like it is because of the nice animation. Having bad generic characters and calling that satire isn't satire. Alot of 'self aware shows' fall into that category. They become what they intended to make fun of. OPM isn't making fun of generic characters by having them, it just has generic characters. The manga handled it much better as it shows a block of text of backstory one of the characters, implying that it is a joke. Plus it just repeats whatever the first episode did. I liked the first episode, but it fell right after that. |

| yep you have mentioned . |
| I disliked Clannad. It has its merits however overall I think it's vastly overrated. |
"The feels man, the feels..." |
| If I should rate The Tatami Galaxy based upon only my enjoyment, it should be 2/10. |

| I'm just hating all the generic harem shows that despite being badly received in the West do find their audience of tasteless Japanese consumers who don't even care that they're just watching the same plot and characters over and over again. If I had to listen them, it'd include Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, IS: Infinite Stratos, Seiken Tsukai no World Break, Absolute Duo, Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, Trinity Seven, and the list goes on and on... |

| Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance definitely isn't generic once the actual Blade Dance tournament actually starts, from there on it's one of the best harems I'm aware of. Only problem is... that's from volume 4 and onwards... and the anime only cover volumes 1-3 which are about as generic as it gets so yeah >.> Really though it's one of the most extreme cases I've seen of something which improves drastically in pretty much a split second past a certain point |

| I don't hate Madoka Magica or anything, but the TV series is pretty mediocre... I'm not sure that it deserves an 8.5 rating, either. The sequel movie is good though. |

| Hey! I apologize for my scarce presence since the inception of this club, but I do my best to free from my busy agenda. Since this thread is up, let's react. - Clannad (in fact, when I think of Indecent Misery Porn applied to contrived drama, Clannad is the highest point of the scale) - Anything insanely popular from these drudges of A-1 pictures (SAO, Elfen Lied...) - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Lucky Stars (I hate it partly as it tarnished the very signification of "slice of life") - Tokyo Ghoul |
