Noragami. I get why someone wouldn't really call it ''amazing'' or a ''masterpiece'' like I do, but I will never understand how someone can ''hate it''. The characters are so well-developed and likable, the animation and soundtrack is great and I'll never understand the people who would give it a 2 or a 1.
Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's.
Noragami is the best anime ever.

That's honestly one of the worst reasons for disliking it I heard so far. If they can't differentiate between homages and references and paying your respect to what influenced you, and 'ripping off' I can't take them very seriously. Seems like a very narrow, black and white way of looking at things.


He considered them less of homages and references and more of the anime just straight up stealing.

I don't agree with him, granted I have not seen most if any of the movies he was talking about. But I get where he was coming from and maybe why he felt the way he did.


I mean they are objectively speaking homages and references, Watanabe talks about it a lot in interviews and commentary about she show and anyone with a basic grasp of what the show is trying to do knows that.
It just seems like an arbitrary excuse that you could say about any show with parody or reference elements if you want to hate on it and decide that 'it rips off' because that always sounds like a 'valid criticism'. Choosing to see it that way instead of seeing it as the references they are documented to be just seems like grasping at straws to say something negative about the show.

This is actually one of the very few kinds of criticism that I can confidently say are objectively wrong and can't just be excused with saying 'it's an opinion' or a difference in taste. It's simply a wrong opinion based on not understanding the intentions of the show...


But whatever, I don't want to make you argue in his stead.
I probably regret this post by now.

0. None. No anime is perfect objectively. Same as books and video games, there are always people that can pick out flaws in anything. For example I can pick out flaws in anime. One such flaw is Death Notes second half.

I agree with you, just that it was a reason I saw he didn't like it and he didn't seem to care about that being a possibility.

But yeah won't continue this further since I would be arguing a point even I don't agree with.

Miyazaki tends to have weak scripts. Well, not really since he doesn't have a script per se before he starts drawing, it's more like he makes the story up as he goes so it fits with the art he's drawing. So in that sense if you're super plot-focused and want the story to be intricately structured from start to finish and don't care about the visual aspect his movies might not have a whole lot to offer, or at least most of them. His unique way of working is what makes his movies feel so special, but it's also a potential weakness because it means the plot/narrative isn't very well-planned beforehand and if you know that it's pretty obvious in most of his movies too.

The other reason I've heard people mention is not liking the environmental aspect he almost always tend to shoehorn in to some degree. Probably climate change deniers

Now if we're talking Takahata, I can't think of many reasons to hate his movies. But I guess them being more about characterization and slice of life stuff might make them boring for some people.

I saw Death Note before I got involved in the anime community, so I never get hyped up or heard anything good about it. I went in completely blind and I loved it. Rated a 10/10 and became my most favorite show of all time.

Even now it's #2.

-Code Geass
-Death Note
-Game of Thrones

The 3 greatest shows of all time!

I actually didn't know about this. But again I guess it's subjective. But I have a weakness for uniquely wirtten scripts and I often don't even bother to see it from another perspective than my own (i'm selfish and heartless i know). And even though I'm not always in for the plot I can't really see any major flaws in the actual plot in Miyazaki's movies, concerning that they're "written" by the art at first.

Assuming people would have no reason to dislike a certain show other than because of its popularity and calling them hipsters isn't exactly respectful either. Respect isn't something you can just ask for. People will respect you only if they want to and/or have reasons for it. Cya.

Just the other day my friend (who doesn't watch anime and I would hardly call him a hipster), after hearing some of Death Note while his roommate was watching it, basically called it edgy and cringy as fuck good for fifteen-year-olds and I can't really disagree. Also on my part I will say that Death Note is not as intelligent as it presents itself even in the first half plus other bothering stuff like Kira cheating the mind games thanks to the shinigamis.

Most people like to think that S;G gets better but I don't think it actually does, it just has more action. Personally I liked the first half more, most of the second one was pointless and cheesy.

There's no such thing as a "perfect" anime. Like others have pointed out, it doesn't matter how good an anime is, there will always be people who don't like it, whether or not the reason is good.

Me personally, I'm one of those people who honestly did not like Cowboy Bebop. It was simply too boring for me to watch. And it had nothing to do with it's episodic nature either.

It's all cool that you like it, but I'm going to have to disagree. The anime had horrible writing and most characters were either not worth noting, or bland (protagonist) and annoying (Yuno). Not to mention, the plot twist was really quite a pathetic piece of overdone lame, with little thought put into it and no thorough explanation. The ending also had me so dumbfoundedly annoyed at the show's stupidity. I'm really surprised so many people like this show. It hooks in you in with hollywood-style action but leaves you with nothing.

This is kinda the reason I'm a Miyazaki hater. I always feel like everything is just a service to the cool art, which is awesome don't get me wrong. I'd love a Miyazaki art book. But as for the movies themselves? They always feel like someone is shouting "Whimsy!" at me without actually having the direction, script, or world-building talent to back it up.
