I'm saying those animes that while you could understand why people like them, you just can't seem to get into them. Example: For me, it has to be Orange: Pff please, Orange is just bad. The relationships between the characters are just so bad ahh. It's like the mangaka never had actual friends (which probably is the case). |

He did not anticipate Madoka making a wish like that and has no choice but to do so. That scenario is impossible because no other girl has as much magical potential as Madoka to have a massive wish like that granted. Madoka was just a special case because she was an anomaly. |

Goku said: That is weird that you would say that. When I was watching Orange the one thing I really liked about the anime was Suwa's character. |
| Code Geass - I still haven't checked it out and I've seen quite a lot of anime, it's just that I accidently watched a video where it shows a major spoiler, and haven't tried to watch it. Steins Gate - I know it looked really good, but I just really didn't feel like watching it. In the end I watched it as my 100th anime. It amazed me. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - Magical girls, Magic, I can't stand those. Although I didn't know that it was a thriller, otherwise I would've watched it sooner. |

I've never seen it stated in the anime or implied that wish granting is dependent on the hidden magical potential of the soon to be magical girl. My understanding is that Kyubey is just supposed to grant any wish in exchange for the girl becoming a maho shoujo. |

My understanding is that Kyubey is just supposed to grant any wish in exchange for the girl becoming a maho shoujo. You are the center of karmic destiny from many different timelines. So, no matter how enormous your wish, it most definitely will come true. These are the exact words that Kyubey said to Madoka on episode 12. Kyubey's wish-granting capabilities have been stated to be limitless, which is true, until that particular episode where he uttered those words. That alone implies that a certain amount of energy is required to grant a wish and that other magical girls could not possibly achieve such a wish. Kyubey's nature of being unable to lie further proves it but even with that, it still wouldn't pose a problem to the Incubators. That's exactly why they chose to harvest energy from adolescent girls. |

| I have quite a lot that i couldn't get into. For example: Durarara Steins Gate (though i'm planning on giving it another chance) Monogatari Series Haikyuu Toradora Jojo (also planning on giving it another chance, someday, probably) I was going to add One punch man since i tried it out and dropped it the first episode, but came back to it later and once i finished it, it kind of grew on me i guess, though i still have some mixed feeling about it. Idk why so many people overhype this show, if it's just because it's a parody, to me it's nothing special. I'll most likely forget about it in a couple of months. |
| Adapted from YLIA subthread...... OppaiSugoi said: I'm pretty much going to drop this one. Damn Kaori and company keep toying with Kousei and his phobia of the piano. Seriously they are very insensitive of his feelings that would drive someone to suicide. I had this on a long hiatus on ep11, got around to rewatching it again from the beginning, and now triggered by dumbshits having a laugh on Kousei basically to where I'm now again having this on hold at ep11 since I can't stand this shit anymore. Kousei's liking for Kaori should've never happened. Basically Fuck this Shit. |

RoyFarrite said: Sword Art Online: Everyone hates it now, but I hated it the second it came out. Yeah, this totally sounds like I'm saying that I hated it "before it was cool," and... yeah, I kinda did. I don't think I need to explain why. Except you do because it's still an incredibly popular anime and the games have gotten quite popular as well. |

It's a fun show, not going to deny that, and a few things i can really praise are the animation, which was amazing, and the soundtrack which was GODLY, i even listen to some of the songs today, the fights were also cool and the characters designs were good, but as you said, most of them were sidelined and it felt like a waste. Also i didn't like Saitama as much as others did, he just kind of destroyed every single moment that the anime built up. |
| Probably Psycho Pass. The only good thing about that show was the main villain and even that can't save itself from being such a borefest. |
| NGE & Berserk:tried watching them again and again over the span of a decade never completed them never will they just dont have "IT" |
  "When the time is yours, the future is waiting, The person you become, and the people you're creating." |
| Baccano - I mean, I know that it MUST be good, but I've tried twice and I can never get through the first episode? Like, there's nothing really wrong with it, but I suppose that, whenever I get around to watching it, I'm just never in the mood for it perhaps? The same goes for drrr, though that's probably because of the slow start |
 |
| I had a bit of trouble getting into Steins;Gate at first, though now it's a favorite of mine. A better example would be Mob Psycho 100, I was watching it normally for a while then for some reason I but it on a massive hold. |
 |
| Glad to see people on here who couldn't get into Bungou Stray Dogs either. I really tried, but I ended up just watching it for the animation and comedy/Mamoru Miyano's voice acting. |
| I definitely have quite a few shows like that: - Psycho Pass: I understand why people like it, and it has an interesting concept, but I just found it boring. This was a few years ago though so I'll probably give it another chance - Hataraku Maou-sama!: The first few episodes were glorious but after around episode three or four everything went downhill. Fast. - Code Geass: Some parts were interesting but overall, I was pretty bored with the show. Maybe cause mecha isn't my thing? - AnoHana: I could see why it's seen as a "tearjerker" show, but I just couldn't empathize with any of the characters - No Game No Life: Didn't like any of the characters. Characters were too OP and the fanservice, which is supposedly comedic didn't click for me. - Zankyou No Terror: I can't really come up with an explanation of why I didn't like it tbh, I just...didn't - Natsume Yuujinchou: So many people recommended this show to me. I tried liking the show - I really did - but I just couldn't. I liked the characters, but everything just went too slow for me. I guess I'm not really into the mellow, peaceful type of anime |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| I remember when I couldn't get into Steins;Gate. It was so boring and still, after watching it, felt like I couldn't love it like everyone else. Gurren Lagann too, mecha is so . . . |
| Cowboy bebop, everyone seems to worship it but I just can't get into it. Mushishi, people compare it to natsume which I love but, I found it extremely boring and slow. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Kill la Kill I watched 15 episodes casually and couldn't get into it. But I'm gonna try again in hope I will get more enjoyment out of it the second time around. |
| Attack on Titan always gets a lot of praise from people I know, but not me. Sure, the series is awesome, but I'm just not really that fond of it. Same goes for Oregairu. Sometimes the character interactions are too confusing or they would just make me fall asleep. It does have some "feel good" moments but I won't deny that I've felt really bored from most of the episodes that I felt like they were a chore to watch. For Puella Magi Madoka Magica, same reaction as Attack on Titan. For the Monogatari series, I've only watched up to Nekomonogatari. Planning to watch the rest of them someday. However, with deep but fast-paced dialogue such as that, I mostly rewind the video to better understand the characters' cryptic dialogue. I couldn't empathize with most of the characters in AnoHana. I watched through the entire show and I liked the final episode, but not enough of a tearjerker for me, tbh. :/ The anime that I've completely enjoyed where I never grow bored of watching them and have become my top favorites will always get a score of 10 from me. but all anime I listed above never made it. These 5 are brilliant in their own way, but not enough to grab my full interest in them. |
| I think Sword Art Online is going to be on everyone's hit list. But man, uh, I cannot watch Legend's of Galactic Heroes. I try watching even one episode and I just cannot bring myself to complete it. #itsnomasterpiece #lies jayhiei said: That's how I feel about Re: Zero. Everyone said it was so awesome and Subaru "suffered" so much. But to me he was a boring character as well as Rem and Ram or whatever their names were. The whole "going back to fix things" genre is cool; Higurashi, Mirai Nikki, and others have proven that. But Re: Zero just didn't do it for me. This too, he broke down after failing a small number of times. In addition to what you already have, Steins;Gate which is extremely successful (and made by the same studio) makes a whole story about it. I'm still scratching my head over how Rem has acquired 10k favourites. Is it because everyone feels sorry for her in having poor taste in men? |

| TTGL. Not sure where the story was trying to go and just too much fan service. |
skinny_disaster said: This.Controversial: I couldn't get into Cowboy Bebop at all even though I was told "You can't even say you watch anime if you haven't seen CB". Also, seeing as Gintama "doesn't get good until after the first few episodes," and I don't know how much better that is, I'm having trouble getting into it. |
| Re Zero most definitely. When watching it it was rather enjoyable but after taking a break episode 15 I realized that I didn't really care for any of the characters all that much other than the MC who I had very mixed feelings towards and that really eccentric villain that kills Rem, his name was Betelgeuse or something like that, he was fun. but other than those two the cast was largely forgettable to me. I may go back to rewatch it but for now I don't plan to. |
| Death Note: I don't know why, but I just can't get into it. I know it has cool characters, a cool soundtrack, etc., but it's just the whole plot. I guess I don't like the idea of god complex characters (because to be honest they are really bratty and a nuisance). |
| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya. I had to force myself to finish the first season and every episode I kept asking myself "Why am I still watching this crap?" The only episode that made me laugh was the one where they were filming the movie about the time-travelling battle waitress, everything else ranged from average to horrible. I heard the movie is better though, I certainly hope so. |
| I think there's lots, I think I'm resigned that I can be a pretty niche customer of Anime. Especially since I tend to be busy so don't watch much. Everyone goes bonkers for Panty and Stocking and I'm just confused why. Attack on Titan wasn't for me, and neither was Death Note. I think it's best to say that Anime isn't a genre, it's a medium, like TV Series with it's own Genres. And there are plenty of TV Series I love that others don't and visa-versa. That's what makes them diverse mediums as they can cater to a wide-audience now with hopefully something for everyone. |
| Death Note. It just screamed history lesson (we just learned about fasism in Europe in early 20th century) |
 |
| I can't get into death note. I found a lot of the dialogue boring. Then there's that cast change half way through the series. |
| Shinsekai Yori: I actually liked the plot, but didn't care much for the characters. The pacing and the absolute lack of any climax at any point during the show killed it for me. Boku no Hero Academia: I can somehow see the appeal, but to me this was by far one of the most boring shows I've watched this year. Topped only by Orange. Bakemonogatari: The pretentious animation style just kills me. I want to give it another chance, I want to think that the plot might interest me and make me forget about the SHAFTness of this show, but I just find it so repulsive that it's hard to get over it. |
| Nodame Cantabile. Everyone loves it, but i just died of boredom. |
| angel beats yuri on ice (i can barely stand straight bishounens) re:zero (i'd love to watch this, but i'm afraid of the gory stuff) shingeki no kyojin ergo proxy any hyped mecha animes sometimes i feel really bad for not following these shows, but the heart wants what it wants, man |
| I didn't like No Game No Life. I got really bored watching that show |
| I actually didn't really like Kimi no Na Wa. I know a lot of people haven't watched it yet, but those who have clearly loved it. I can't say it was bad, it just wasn't a stunning masterpiece everyone is making it out to be (same goes for YOI, cough cough). I don't think it handled its own grandness well. If it were a simpler story, I'm sure I would have liked it much better. Or maybe if it were a series, not a movie. There is too much happening in those two hours, and the two main characters lack personality because their development was sacrificed in favor of a larger-than-life plot. I know people call Shinkai "the next Miyazaki", and then there are those who say he's a great director in his own right, but I'd say that to be on par with Miyazaki, you have to create truly relatable, "real" characters. He said himself that "you need to create characters that could well exist in this world", and that you can only do this if you spend time watching real people. I think he brings this on whole new level, and that's what added magic to his works. His characters could literally sit and do nothing but talk for two hours straight and his movie would still have had that special charm of his. That's what Shinkai totally lacks, in my opinion. I do recognize though that if people like it that much, it must've resonated with them. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think I'll be able to see it anyway. |
| One Piece. I just hate the art. The big heads, hands, legs? |
 |
Me too although I don't get the wrap around Kill La Kill either I know why people love it I just cant get into it :/ |
 |
| One Piece. I can't get past the art and ridiculous silliness of it all. Haruhi Suzumiya Series was meh. The movie, on the other hand, is great. The absence of that annoying girl was probably it. Fate/Zero - Tried to watch it but couldn't get past that boring 10 minute monologue at the beginning. Or I did 9?) but none of the characters were interesting to me enough to want to keep watching all their drama. I think I stopped around some fight between the blonde chick and a guy in gold. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - this one I might give a second chance, but I dropped it around episode 3 because its gimmicky drama was boring/cringey to me. |

| *Kill la Kill. Felt like it was trying to be TTGL 2 but forgot the reasons why I liked it. *Gintama. Just not funny at all. Don't feel like watching 50 episodes of it in the event it might get good. *Hunter x Hunter. Alright until CA, in which the pacing goes down the shitter and it just feels like they needed to hit an episode quota. *Clannad. It's the embodiment of every single bad anime drama I've ever seen, from the flaccid characters and shitty melodrama. Afterstory was almost alright though. *Madoka. Not bad but I couldn't escape the thought while watching that NGE did the same thing but is better in every way. |
| It was always Higurashi/When They Cry for me. I just couldn't get over the character design lol. |
