Shinsekai Yori:like WTF,the characters are garbage,the plot is mediocre,nothing special,the pacing changed faster than i could ever imagine.

Erased:worst couple ever (kayo x hiromi),really author?Kayo should end up with the protag,or ATLEAST the blonde guy(dont remember his name),not some whiny bitch.The show have a strong start but slowly turn into trash.

SAO:do i really need to explain lol

March comes in like a lion:one of the slowest show i've ever seen,you can literrally skip 10 episodes of this show and still be able to know what's going on.

Dude, what? This is like when people talk about SAO being overrated. Who says this shit? The TG anime gets ripped apart everywhere (I believe most people think :re is better than Root A, but still bad). Stop making shit up for the sake of discussion.

If it's able to leave an impact on its audience in a big way, then it deserves its popularity. I am not the arbiter of what should or shouldn't be popular. I am just one person with one set of likes and dislikes.


Best post in this thread, really.

There isn't a super popular anime I know of where I think "WHYYYYYY". It may not be to my taste....but I "get it"....you know....

True garbage anime would be those poorly made underground OVAs from the 80s and 90s. XDDD And those are not popular at all or if they are, they are in the "so bad it's classic" category.

SAO: The writing is garbage, though I don’t dislike as much as I used to since the hype seems to have died down (or at least I haven’t gone looking for the hype), though I will grant that it has very good visuals and art.

Dragon Ball Z: Terrible pacing. I’m not really a fan of the art style either, though I can look past it. The pacing is the unforgivable sin for me. If it weren’t for the pacing, I’d probably like DBZ.

One Punch Man: I kinda like this one, but I also think something was missing from it. It was just good. Nothing amazing or outstanding, but I did enjoy watching it.

I feel like this is a poor question (or at least poorly worded) because popular anime are popular for a reason (i.e. they appeal to the public in some way or the other). So to say that a popular anime "doesn't deserve" it's popularity sounds contradictory. You could talk about obscure anime that ended up unpopular because it wasn't marketed right or came out at a poor time, but not the opposite.

Well, that's just what I think. I might be an idiot for all I know.

Probably the most recent example is BnHA, essentially a cookie-cutter Shounen. However, there are plenty of examples including SnK, S;G, Re:Zero, etc. It's just too bad the general masses tend to go with the flow of hype rather than examine these shows on a critical level.

Eh.. It's a battle shounen about power fantasy? Same as Naruto, bleach, One piece, Hunter x Hunter and every single battle shounen..
I don't like battle shounens either but they do what they're supposed to do, delivering a flashy power fantasy for the casual audience. They're not normal anime per se but they do what they're supposed to and they're loved for it. Kids love flashy action, battle shounens have it so the kids go crazy over them. Simple. Their popularity is more because of their target audience than their quality.

Ugh, I hate negative threads like that and as always most of the shows mentioned are actually pretty okay and it's pretty clear to me why they deserve the popularity they got. Why do people enjoy being toxic and bitching about pointless stuff so much? Why do people insanely overvalue their own opinion and think it's any basis to judge whether something deserves popularity or not? NObody gives a shit if you're one of the hundred thousand people who start hating a popular show. For shows with popularity you haters are a dime a dozen and all it tells me is that the show is popular and that triggers people. It's barely even related to quality how many haters a show has, it's all about how popular it is and how much people can feel like hipsters with unique taste while jumping on the hate bandwagon.

Meanwhile I'll try to find a thread that's not about people just expressing irrational hatred and shitting on other peoples preferences to make themselves feel better.

Could someone explain me what is the reason behind the popularity for One Piece, for Naruto, for Bleach? Could someone please explain me (without the "is because it's awesome" or any shit like that) why these series are so overhyped.

Of course I saw some episodes from these series and, because I found them so boring, I couldn't understand why there are people who like them

Highschool DxD: Complete trash. Why this isnt a hentai instead.
Other ecchi trash animes: Why this isnt a hentai instead.
One Punch Man: It's average at best but Saitama is boring and not deep enough to be pleasing to watch. But if OPM wasnt popular then Mob Psycho might not exist so im kinda worried about this one.

I actually hate talking about it because I don't enjoy talking about stuff I hate very much, at least after the initial frustration has been vented, which has long, long, long happened with Shigatsu. It's just usually the only thing I can even mention in these negative threads because it's possibly the only anime I ever really hated (at least the only really popular one, not sure if Kabaneri counts as popular enough to qualify for that), while everyone else seemingly hates everything that isn't on their favorites, just using the term very inflationary to express any slight dissatisfaction with something.
Even then, I haven't talked about Shigatsu in years, all I ever do is link people to my old rants, when I was still freshly triggered, from whille it was airing, because nothing would bring me less joy than having to argue about Shigatsu at this point.

Plus no matter how much I hated Shigatsu, I never made a thread about it to let everyone know my irrelevant opinion on the show. The only times I talked about it was when others made threads that asked questions about it. I don't spread negativity and hatred like that, I just try to get it out of my system as quickly as possible so I'm not still hating on shows when they're three seasons in or 30 years old like some of the wonderfully positive people in this thread.

Basically where other people cling to and enjoy their own irrational hatred for a show, wanting to rub it into everyone's face every day and cherish those negative feelings so they never leave them and stay in their heart forever, I just wanna vent and rant short-term until I'm done and then forget about it and not keep that hatred with me for the rest of my life.

I don't like hating a show, it doesn't give me any enjoyment and it doesn't make me happy, it's just an annoying and frustrating feeling. Sometimes it can't be helped and I will hate a show, but I'm always more inclined to want to forget about it instead of dwelling on that hatred, bringing it to the public and rubbing it into everyone's face by making whole threads about it. But after 8 years on AD I can say I'm in the definitive minority here. Most people are active on the forums for the most part to do exactly that - rub their negative feelings about shows in the faces of other people, ideally fans of the show because how dare those fans get enjoyment out of something that only made them angry. They need to learn that THEY should be angry too, so let's try and MAKE them angry, shall we?

That's how it feels at least.
I probably regret this post by now.

We just have to make threads on AD to rub each other off by incessantly complaining about how every single anime that attracts an audience might not appeal to us or be considered good. "Everything that exists should appeal to me, selfishness is human nature and I am in no way sounding or acting like this by turning my frustrations with the content I dislike achieving some measure of success onto its audience." Give me a fucking break.

I should just make a fucking copy/paste one-liner where I can switch out the keywords about (x) type of content or (x) series and then post a new one in each and every thread like this, just because it's all every post in it every amounts to. Same shit every time, same pointlessness and the same amount of delusions of grandeur that their hollow, in-explanatory one-liner possesses some degree of merit towards how other people should consume and view the shit they watch. Bonus points if they turn around and try to use "it's just my opinion don't get so pissy lol u mad?" if they get blasted for their shitty take.

People don't get tired of how incredibly circular it all is, for some reason, which is fucking insanity in my eyes, but whatever. I'll never view it as anything except vapid and pointless, but hey, it still seems less annoying and redundant to me than ecchi threads or "least favorite trope" threads.
