| MAL overrates parody because it is "deep, META, and nostalgia". , Making fun of TV tropes makes the writing deeper than the teachings of Aristotle. Throw in some Dragon Ball references, get some nostalgia: "OMFG DBZ WAS MY FAV SHOW BACK IN THE DAY!"... And finally break the fourth wall and MAL will orgasm. |

| is this a remnant of the one piece man shitposting days? |
 |
| you have to watch more anime to appreciate it. |
 "The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me." |
| The word overrated is overrated. Also have you seen some of the shit lots of parody anime get?They're not venerated or anything. |
 |
| Overrated doesn't mean they are bad you know... And also I don't really think it's overrated. Yeah, Plus as Oian said above, References are parody are two different things. |

They're not popular due to the parody aspect, especially since the people who rate Gintama 10/10 are mostly smaller kids who barely get any of the references.It's popular to many because of the mindless slapstick humor I'd say. Don't know about One Punch Man, I am not interested in that show and I'm not going to watch it. The most popular shows are so popular because the intelligence required to comprehend what is happening in them is incredibly low therefore it can appeal to large demographics.This would also explain the mindless degenerate fanbases too. |

| so is this just another thread bitching about gintama having 4 entries in the top 10? |

I could argue that Action is overrated because the top is filled with those, but it won't be correct. silverwalls said: so is this just another thread bitching about gintama having 4 entries in the top 10? Yes. Yes it is. |
| ...yes. Or something. I dunno, what am I meant to be angry about? |
| The Lost Village was a parody in a way but you don't see people hyping that at all. Kalley said: could be wrong but pretty sure KonoSuba didn't have any references.Oian said: A reference is nothing like a parody, m8. They are different.

| Stop overrated urself OP.. U're not that high |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| You talk about overrated and you have Akira as favorite anime, that really is a joke. Gintama is something that noobs don't understand, I didn't give it a 10/10 simply because I haven't re-watched it yet, once I do it the 10/10 is going back to Gintama. |
 |
| I believe that overrated doesn't mean they are bad. If you watch more parody anime, you'll probably going to apperciate parody genre more |
 |
| The horror! Shows that make fun of other shows are popular. I don't like this. I really don't like this. I don't want shows I don't like being popular. I'm going to make a thread now because I'm offended |
 |
| You know what is overrated? People taking MAL's ranking seriously. |
 |
| Disregarding the ever-present complaint of Gintama being overrated, and attempting to actually be relevant to the thread title, I don't have a problem with the parody genre in and of itself, but rather that some shows don't know how to parody things. Apparently, all a show needs to do is point out whenever it uses a cliché in order to pass for a self-aware parody smh. |

 |
| I honestly think there arent that many good parody anime to begin with so why are u complaining again? U think that parody anime is deep or it tries to be deep? Really nigga? I only think OPM & Nichijou are the only good ones, atleast those i def enjoyed |
| So basically you think Gintama is overrated and that it doesn't deserve it's spots in the top 10 is what I assume?Even though Gintama is more reference then parodies |
| OP you barely nor have you watched much parody anime in the first place. So what are you doing complaining about something you have no experience with? |
| Just let it out and admit you're just butthurt about Gintama's rankings. By the way it doesn't reference Dragon Ball but Gintaman, get your shit right. |
 |
| saying a entire genre is overrated and nit mentioning titles or things about the genre that you do not like is kind of pointless there is nothing to discuss in this post |

Hey don't throw these kind of show under the bus. I find Gintama funny because of it's situation comedy. Slapstick comedy has is worth so acting like it's worthless is inaccurate. From what I see, people tend to exaggerate how much Gintama is based on references. The reason Gintama makes up half of the top ten is because the people who made it past the first season, rate the later ones high as well. It is more how mal splits seasons. People who didn't like the first won't come back to watch the rest. Compared to FMA:B, Gintama latest season has a 13th of people who watched it, but both are rated 9.26 |

It sounds like someone has a problem with what people like, okay mate... |

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I think this is the first time I've heard someone call parody shows deep. But really comedy is king parody or otherwise, develop a sense of humor op. But generally speaking there really aren't too many highly rated anime that are marked as parody. Gintama and OPM being the only 2 in the top 100. With only about 8 unique series being rated over an 8 on average excluding those two. One of which being an OVA, one being a special, another one being a spin-off of the type moon franchise. So to elaborate a bit on that there are 525 entries on this site rated at or over an 8. With only 10 unique series marked as parody included in those I'm sure parody probably isn't the overrated genre. |

Rei said: What's gonna be overrated next? Yaoi? Hentai? Some Sao rip-off? But Re:zero is already popular this season /s |
| I sense a Gintama and OPM hater who cries at night because they're ranked higher than your favourite anime haha |
| Your next line is "I was just pretending to be retarded". |

Ryuzaki said: Re:Zero isn't remotely close to a SAO rip off. You're right, it must be a parody, so that's why it's overrated. Omigod, OP is right. Everything's a parody of something, everything's overrated! |

Itachi_0893 said: All those Gintama defenders, gintama is great, is in fact one of the best comedies, but is so inconsistent, one episode you die of laughter, the other is just random shit, and then some random filler, the serious arcs are great, but still shounen without much repercutions and almost all the villains ends up being good people, which at times is stupid. So yeah is amazing but doesn't deserve to be in the 10 top anime (with various entries), is ridiculous. Have you never seen anything episodic before? |
| Man up and say Gintama is overrated OP. |
| OP just mad that a parody anime had the nerve to make fun of something he likes. |
 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." |
| This thread made me sad, really sad. |

Aside from being a troll, you dont even see the difference between high rated and popular yet you still mention intelligence in your post, also trying to be edgy not caring about OPM, smh. OT: Just make new accounts and rate Gintama a 1 like many haters do. PS. Overrated isnt a term that should be used when trying to make a point cause it makes you look dumb. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| I came here expecting people to mention Gintama. Was not disappointed. Maybe parody just isn't your thing? Most people seem to enjoy it though, so you'll just have to suck it :P |
Itachi_0893 said: wait!!!you gave rewrite a fucking 10 score?and yet you dare to say gintama don't deserve 10?Just how much salt is in your heart?Yeah of course, and I'm not attacking it for its structure, what I am saying is that I don't enjoy all of its episodes, some episodes are amazing, some arcs are boring as fu*k, some arcs are epic. Because of that I don't think it deserves a 10, if I could enjoy every single chapter I would give it a 10, but as I had to skip some episodes due to boredom is not a 10/10. |
