| Most of you guys must have noticed by now that every single comment section of every single episode of every single anime (maybe I'm exaggerating a bit here...) has that one guy complying about how much he hates the anime but he has still watch it because that's how it is. WHY ? Seriosly, why ? It's annoying just to catch a glimps at their comments. Is it because the number of masochist in the anime community skyrocking or anything ? Or is this some new trend I know nothing about ? Seriosly tell me! It's driving me mad ! |
| To become the biggest elitist out of all the elitists and people like to complain a lot it is apart of everyone really. |
| Completionists will complete it no matter the quality |
| One word m8 - Completionist. To me they just look like masochists tbh but whatever |

| i know right op. Why do people spent time on shit they don't like. In the mean while you could watch/do so much other things. |
 .. |
| If you don't finish a series you don't have any rights to bash it! I dropped Highschool of the Dead two times before I managed to finish this atrocity. |
 |
| 2 reasons: Completionism: People do that because they like to look at the critical aspects of the anime and/or like to experience bad anime as well in order to appreciate the good ones more. Hating is fun: Well, sometimes bad things can be entertaining too.. |
| There are some terms you might be interested in: So bad it's good: you could compare this with how fruit are sweetest when they're slightly rotten. It's enjoyable to converse about an anime that everyone agrees is bad. Mediocre: this essentially means "average" but it implies that the general public thought it was above average. For example: One Punch Man is slightly above average but the average rating tells you that it was one of the best anime of all time. Even though it is above average it is disappointing because you would have expected better. Shitty but popular: anime that are actually below average and get really high ratings such as Sword Art Online and Elfen Lied are even more fun to bash on because it's much easier to find flaws in their structure and you will always have someone to argue against. I don't personally engage in these discussions, but I do watch a fair bit of anime that I would consider to be bad mainly because they have low member counts so their mean ratings aren't very accurate. |
  |
| You have to consider everything in the anime you may hate for some particular reason, but somehow you can get some form of enjoyment and that little form of enjoyment is enough to keep watching the anime. |
 |
| They watch it so that they can give it a shit rating, probably. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| If I hate an anime I am watching, I still finish it, because that gives me the credit to shit on it later every time I want. |
 |
| I only watched Glasslip because of the cultural importance it has on MAL. |
|
| Because some people, like me, have a no drop policy. |

For a few reasons.
Those are some of my thoughts on the matter. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I'd say an example is I detest fucking Diabolik Lovers but I just watched both seasons within the last three days because of the visuals, good looking vampire boys/men and goddamn is the voice acting so good/sex to my ears! That said, doesn't make up for it being sadistic and horrendous and is in no way a "guilty pleasure". Also, as @GesuYarou said completion plays a role. I had DL on hold for awhile and needed to finish it or it was going to brother me, honestly. Gotta watch the atrocious stuff to appreciate the gems. Plus, in general there is just some bullshit ya' gotta watch or maybe just can't stop watching. |

If you can't handle someone hating on your favorite anime (which is shit btw), then this is not the place for you. This is why I don't bother discussing shows on MAL. That's what OT is for. |

-Maz said: This pretty much sums it. You can come with valid/reliable discussions/critizism if you actually saw the entire show, compared to if you bash it based on just 1-3 episodes. Not to mention there are quite alot of shows that started out bad/boring (S;G comes to mind) but ended up being amazing later on.For a few reasons.
Those are some of my thoughts on the matter. |
 |
| Hating it and still watching it in order to see the end is one thing, that acceptable. Even I've done this, though I stopped years ago. However, making yourself a constant nuisance and bitching all the time about something at every opportunity is whole other thing that is not acceptable. |

| grrrrrr i hate anime anime fills me with anger watching anime is literally pain i feel the masochism |
 |
Well golly gee, i didn't realize it was winter again.  |

| Those people can be very annoying. They just want to feel smart by hating an anime they think is bad. They are the types of people who will think you are dumb for giving a lot of high scores. There are barely any anime that i finished that i dont like because i only watch anime that i think i will like, and usually drop shows that i dont |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| Because if you drop something people will that you can't talk about if you didn't finish it. |
 |
| Anime attracts weird and not very smart people. You shouldn't try to analyze their behaviour from your reasonable point of view. |
| Yea it's stupidity tbh. I just drop anime after 3-4 episodes if i don't like it and don't even care to rate it low because i am sure that it's not according to my likeness but some people out there might love it. |
 |
| This just about sums up most of my experience in the Phantom World forums. |

| Hating something is fun. Enough said. |
 You just lost the game |

I don't see how it's stupid, some shows start slow. If I dropped shows because the start was boring to me, I would have never finished S;G or Baccano and I loved both of those shows. Plus I'm a completionist, I don't like to drop shows period. |

S;G was slow i agree and i kept it on hold after watching 4 episodes but what i drop is animes like Bakemonogatari/FLCL which have a weird animation and are a pain to watch for me. So even if the story is good i cannot continue watching it. |

"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Sometimes hating anime is more fun then loving them. If they still enjoy watching it, then fine. What's more confusing is people who genuinely hate the act of watching a show and keep at it. Well, I'm a completionist, so I have no ground to stand on saying that... |
 |
| Well, when I'm halfway through a series and start to hate it, I find that snarking or making fun of it tends to make the experience a lot less painful, as I am a completionist, a masochist, and an OCD autist. Although I never go into episode threads posting about how much I hate something...those users are cancerous and just want the attention. |
| I just force myself to watch ever single one if i really can't take it then i drop |
 |
| I think it's a big fat old waste of time. If I hate a show, I drop it. Unfortunately, I don't always realize I'm hating it as I watch it. I may only realize how much I hate it AFTER I finish it. |
  |
| Forcing yourself to complete something you hate is a masochist thing to do. I'm not a masochist. If an anime is hilariously bad then I'll watch it for the lols. |

phantom world all people do is shit on the show, where are all the people who rated it a 7 or higher? i feel like im the only one who loves the show for what it is |

|
| Hating is fun. Palpatine had the right idea. |
| You may watch it and enjoy it, but at the end you can open your eyes and realise how bad it is. This is what happened to me after SAO. |
 |
| I don't hate Dragon Ball Super, but I really do think it's bad, yet I'll continue to watch it for several reasons: -DBZ was my childhood. So I'm hoping to get some of that feeling I had with watching DBZ back again. -Since it's so bad, I want to see how much worse it can get (it's kind of giving me that it's so bad it's good vibe). -It's only 1 episode a week anyway. It doesn't take up more than 20 minutes of my time, so it's not like it's a massive time investment. -Ranting about it on the forums is entertaining to me. -It lets me appreciate other (better) anime more. |
| @Chiibi yea but all i see is "WTF KYOANI??? WHAT THE HELL WAS EPISODE 8???? THIS SHOW IS GARBAGE etc.... its like, it can't just be a fun show to people.... i mean, you can even argue its not a harem, so i don't see why ppl act as if it is lol @Piromysl with all SAO's popularity you NEVER see people defending it its like ppl just can't accept shows for what they are, they always have to compare everything @ColdBreeze it would be interesting if it got darker, you know...... as long as they keep the fanservice xD |
|
Lol I defend it a lot. As for Phantom and other shows that get a lot of hate, I kind of....decide to stay out of their forums on MAL......because I just get fed up arguing with people. |
