SAO. I don't hate it but I don't get why it's so popular. Kirito and Asuna's popularity is baffling.

Bakemonogatari. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Shokugeki no soma. Everyone said it's a very funny anime while I found it's very cringey.

I respect the fact that you don't like JoJo (I'm nobody to force people to like things they hate), but the point of the series is precisely that you don't have to take it seriously. That is the charm of the show, is ridiculous, but awesome at the same time.
I get that, which is why I said it's not my thing, and I understand why people like. I just don't think it's charming or awesome though. I think it's cringey, annoying, and groan-inducing, even when not thinking about the messy plot. I just meant that I can't enjoy it either way.
Again, is okay if you don't like the series.
The thing is, you textually said JoJo is cringy and messy if you take the story seriously, implying you dislike the series because you took the thing seriously, when is not the intention of the series, and I just pointed that.

Many of my girl friends really like this movie and always praising it as the best ghibli movie :/
I just don't find what's so appealing from this movie, the story is not that good for me tbh..

Steins; Gate

Literally the whole world loved/liked it, but me. I disliked the characters, their characterization, the art, the excess of plot conveniences, how some characters were added just to stretch the show for a couple of episodes, and how the overall story potential was just so wasted.

I dropped it because I couldn't stand the characters.

The first thing that comes around my mind is Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. Everyone that I know of likes it except for my end.

Not that it is a bad show but I just didn't cared for what it was offering and I felt like it was pretty lacking.

Attack on Titan, I found the storyline absolutely boring, the animation was pretty okay but got a bit dull towards the end of season 1, the music was the reason I kept watching.

Toradora, people say it's the king of romance anime, but I had to drop it after about 11 episodes. My least favorite part about it was being able to call the Taiga and Ryugi end up together ending from episode 3. That, and tsundere's and loli's aren't my thing, and they literally combined the two to create Taiga. Sorry everyone, I gave this show an honest try.

Noragami season 1 and 2. The characters sucked and the "plot" didn't do a good job at keeping me interested. Why did they focus on one character for a whole season and then rarely include him in season 2? Whoever was in charge of the anime adaptation was high.

In decreasing order of quality:

-Madoka Magica
-The Devil Is a Part-Timer
-Toradora (not horrible, but very generic, nothing stands out in any way)
-Neon Genesis Evangelion (second half)
-Haruhi Suzumiya
-Girls und Panzer (the tank battles are cool, but I don't care about them because I don't care about the story)
-Nichijou (Step 1: something random happens, step 2: the characters scream for 2-3 minutes)
-Squid Girl
-Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (same five jokes over and over)
-FLCL
-Monogatari (not that bad in itself, it's just the pacing which makes everything take twice as long as it should and become boring)
-Sora no Woto
-Sabagebu
-KonoSuba (a couple of funny jokes, but mostly it's just repetitive character traits and unfunny sex "humor" I could find in any other anime, season 2 was a vast improvement though)
-Nisekoi
-Elfen Lied
-Plastic Nee-san
-K-On
-Dance in the Vampire Bund
-Lucky Star
-Panty & Stocking
-No Game No Life (probably the one show in this list that has no redeeming qualities)

Well this is super easy.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Why people praise this shit like it's some godsend i will never understand.
The forced drama and romance was super shit plus the biggest ass pull later on that created more forced drama xD. It was so fucking ridiculous.
But Yoko's ignorance and immaturity fucking made it that much worse.
I don't think there's a character i actually like in the anime. I hate Yoko, hearing Kamina's name 150 times per episode for 8 episodes straight made the character incredibly boring and every time i heard his name i wanted to gouge my eyes out. And i'm neutral when it comes to Simon i hate him but i also like some things so it cancels each other out.

Umm... I have got three:

- Neon Genesis Eva (see my myanimelist for reason)

- Kokoro connected (it was beyond fiction story telling anime and thought how's this possiibllee???)

- Cowboy Bebop


There might be other, but rating above 8 esp in critical website like Mal means these anime loved by many or millions.

Everyone still acts like FLCL is this amazing hallmark of 'Growth out of youth and into adulthood' while still not seeing it as anything more then a mess of abandoned plots, half-baked characters, and Over-the-top in-you-face shenanigans that amount to nothing.

While I didn't hate it, Tatami Galaxy is far from the classic that everyone rants about it being. If it didn't have a unique and memorable artstyle, it would have been lost to the annals of time as an average SOL with a silly twist in the final two episodes.

For me. It will be One Piece. Still don't understand why it gets this long. Like Gintama or Naruto or DB is finished already. I can't even stand the art anyway
What's not to understand about its length? It's a long story lol and technically, none of those anime you listed are finished either. As for it's art style, fair enough if you don't like it but I personally don't think that's a legitimate reason to dislike the show as a whole. Have you even seen an episode/read a chapter? According to your lists you haven't. Talk about judging a book by the cover...

There is no anime that only I dislike as I'm not that special a snowflake, OP. I don't really dislike any high rated anime on this site but just for the sake of giving an answer, I'll say Gintama. I still think it's kinda funny but for the percentage of 10's it gets as an anime on this site, I'm just not feeling the same buzz. Then again, I've only seen 17 odd episodes...

^^^^
Exactly, I was the same case before I watched other shows that had a higher quality. I suppose I should say I get annoyed by people who refuse to say that there's nothing wrong with the anime despite being more exposed to other better animes. There is nothing wrong with simply liking it, but its annoying for people to not recognize flaws.

Death Note, because everyone is dislikeable and the second arc was too long.
Toradora, I dropped it, because the girl is an annoying brat.
Kill la Kill... is on drugs.
Mirai Nikki, Yandere is annoying, too edgy.
Madoka, because I don't like magical girls and the girls look like they are eight years old.
Dragonball, don't like the art style, boring.
One Piece, too long, don't like the style.
Youjo Senki, just not my taste.

Everyone talks about how amazing and sad Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) is, but when I watched it, I could not fathom just why I was supposed to be sad. Oh,


I could say the same for Madoka. Truly, I honestly do not understand what exactly people love so much about this. Maybe there's something in the ~5 episodes I've yet to watch, I don't know. All I know is with most other greatly loved anime, I at least understand why people like it so much. This (and the aforementioned Hotaru no Haka), not one bit.

5cm/s is yet another one that gets the kind of love that I couldn't understand. Sad love story? What love story? The "story" was shit and so were the "characters". More often than not, I found myself screaming (internally, of course) at the characters to get out of the way, so I could focus on the only reason why anyone should hold the bloody movie in high regard - the visuals.

No Game No Life. I really don't get it, guys--it fucking sucks. It's hideous to look at, the characters are annoying and gross, and the game set-pieces are kinda boring.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

One Piece. Find this the worst of the big shounen titles, yet it's the most popular one.
Death Note. Boring.
Fate/Zero. Everyone always praises it for its action scenes, but there was so much boring talk and doing nothing between fights that it left me unimpressed. At least the art was nice, I guess.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes. One of the worst classics I've ever seen. How did this ever get such high rating?
Hellsing Ultimate. The original anime was way better.
Kill la Kill. Man, I loved TTGL, but this was nothing compared to it.
Overlord. Boring.
Darker than Black. One of the worst protagonists ever.
Boku no Hero Academia. So painfully mediocre.

2.SAO (this choice is already out of the world)

Instead of those 2, Konosuba is my other choice. The comedy is getting dull as time being. Thou I kinda enjoyed both season

I'll name you five:

-No Game no Life, it was fine but when I hear it was top anime of 2014 ahead of Jojo Stardust Crusaders or Barakamon then I can't agree.
- Serial Experiment Lain, ok maybe the concept was avant-garde or thoughtful but to me it failed big time at entertaining me. Maybe 3deep5me.
- Ping Pong, people loooove ping pong, I respect it for asking some meaningful questions about talent, training and victory... but again I didn't enjoy it that much.
- Youjou Senki was a chore to me seriously what were people seeing that I didn't see in that anime???
- Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, cool but not that great, I'll be honest I was bored during some of the episodes.
